Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (calf) is working on a side field with a trainer at training camp practice on Saturday and was seen doing some jogging.

Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani is still scheduled to make his next start on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Ohtani, who has had some issues with cramping recently, skipped his last start on the mound due to fatigue.

Anthony Rendon Moved To 60-Day Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels transferred infielder Anthony Rendon (shin) to the 60-day injured list on Friday amid a flurry of roster moves.

Mike Trout Faces Live Pitching, Could Return Any Day

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) faced live pitching on the team's off day on Thursday.

Trevor Siemian To Start Second Preseason Game

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Trevor Siemian is in line to start the team's second preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night, with Jake Browning playing the second half. Beyond that, there's a possibility the offensive starters won't play at all on Friday, and they're unlikely to play in next week's preseason finale, either. Joe […]

Bryce Young To Play On Friday

Carolina Panthers rookie first-round quarterback Bryce Young and the starting offense will see more action in the second preseason game on Friday against the New York Giants after they looked stale in the preseason opener last week.

Jose Abreu Not Swinging, Won't Return Sunday

Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu (back) hasn't resumed swinging a bat, and manager Dusty Baker said it's unrealistic to expect Abreu to come off the 10-day injured list when he's first eligible to return this Sunday.

Kyle Tucker Scratched Due To Illness

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (illness) was scratched from Friday's starting lineup against the Seattle Mariners after he came in feeling under the weather, according to manager Dusty Baker.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (hamstring) is scheduled to return from the 15-day injured list to start on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals, according to manager Aaron Boone.

The Chicago White Sox placed outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez (groin) on the paternity list on Friday and recalled infield prospect Lenyn Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (heel) is back at shortstop and is hitting in the cleanup spot for the Twins on Friday against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Andre Jackson.
