Jarred Kelenic Out With Sore Foot

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels with a sore right foot.

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus isn't ruling out the possibility of wide receiver Chase Claypool being a healthy scratch for the Week 2 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Treylon Burks Tending To Personal Matter

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Treylon Burks is not practicing on Wednesday due to a personal matter. Burks is expected to return to practice on Thursday, so his availability for Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers shouldn't be in question. The 23-year-old wideout had a disappointing Week 1 performance […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Out Sick Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) will sit out of practice on Wednesday because he's feeling under the weather, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Breece Hall Limited To Begin Practice Week

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

Justin Fields Thinks He Played Too Conservatively

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields said, "I feel like I was a little too conservative at times" in the Week 1 loss to the division-rival Green Bay Packers last Sunday.

Darren Waller Dealing With Lingering Hamstring Issue

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring), who isn't practicing on Wednesday, revealed that his hamstring injury is the "same" right hamstring that landed him on Injured Reserve with the Las Vegas Raiders last year, although it's a slightly different issue. Waller got through the Week 1 beatdown at the hands of the Dallas […]

Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda (shoulder) is set to have surgery on his right shoulder on Thursday.

Byron Buxton Receives Cortisone Shot

Because conservative treatment wasn't working for Minnesota Twins outfielder/designated hitter Byron Buxton (knee), he was given a cortisone shot in his right knee on Sunday. The Twins are still hopeful Buxton can get into minor-league rehab games. Buxton encountered a setback with the patellar tendinitis in his knee last week and was pulled off his […]

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie (elbow) is starting a minor-league rehab assignment on Wednesday with Double-A Akron.

The 26-year-old has also had a teres […]

Jorge Polanco Back From Bereavement List

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco was activated from the bereavement list on Wednesday and is back in the starting lineup to take on the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Taj Bradley.

Yandy Diaz Back In Action Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz (groin) is back at first base and is hitting in his usual leadoff spot on Wednesday as the team takes on the Minnesota Twins and left-hander Dallas Keuchel.

Broncos To Rely More On Adam Trautman As Receiving Threat

With Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) expected to miss at least a few weeks with the same hamstring injury that cost him seven games in his rookie season in 2022, the Broncos will rely even more on Adam Trautman at tight end as a receiving threat. Trautman led the entire team in the […]

Jakobi Meyers Remains In Concussion Protocol

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels told reporters on Wednesday that wide receiver Jakobi Meyers remains in the league's concussion protocol. It means that Meyers won't practice on Wednesday and is very much up in the air for a Week 2 meeting with the Buffalo Bills on the road. The good news is that […]

Texans Place Noah Brown On Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans placed wide receiver Noah Brown (groin) and defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway (calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, so they will both have to miss at least the next four games after getting injured in the Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) is expected to miss up to four weeks with the right-hamstring injury that he suffered in the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, according to team sources.

Boston Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen was pulled from his outing in the ninth inning in the second game of a doubleheader against the division-rival New York Yankees on Tuesday with fatigue and illness symptoms.

Clayton Kershaw Scheduled To Pitch Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) finished up a bullpen session on Tuesday, and the plan is for him to start on Saturday in Seattle against the Mariners.

Max Scherzer To Undergo MRI Exam On Wednesday

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that right-hander Max Scherzer (triceps) will get an MRI exam on Wednesday after dealing with a right-triceps spasm during his start on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
