Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Cade Marlowe will start Friday's game against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels on the bench despite hitting a game-winning grand slam for the team on Thursday.

Keaontay Ingram Dealing With Injury At Camp

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram has not been practicing of late at training camp due to an undisclosed injury.
