Drake Maye Has Looked Like A Rookie

New England Patriots first-round rookie quarterback Drake Maye has looked like a rookie so far in training camp. Working with a backup offensive line isn't doing Maye any favors, but he's also just 21 years old with only 26 collegiate starts under his belt. The former North Carolina signal-caller is now running a much different […]

Francisco Alvarez Back In Mets Lineup

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez (shoulder) is back behind the plate and is hitting eighth for the Mets in Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Minnesota Twins and right-hander Pablo Lopez.

Ben Skowronek Standing Out In Camp

Houston Texans wide receiver Ben Skowronek has stood out so far in the early portions of training camp as he looks to earn a roster spot despite mostly working with the second-team offense.

Chase Claypool Misses Another Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) remained out of training camp practice on Tuesday. Claypool suffered a minor toe injury in practice on Sunday and has missed the last two days at camp as a result.

Martin Perez Traded To The Padres

Earlier on Tuesday, the San Diego Padres acquired veteran left-hander Martin Perez from the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to a source.
