Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) sat out on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals after missing four straight games last week due to a heel bruise he suffered on July 31.

On the Indianapolis Colts' first unofficial depth chart of training camp, wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie is listed as the team's third wideout, although he remains in competition with impressive rookie Josh Downs for the starting slot role in Indy.

With Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs in the middle of a full-blown holdout, Zamir White is listed as the team's No. 1 RB on the first unofficial depth chart of training camp.

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez (hamstring) is being scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to the same issue that caused him to miss time recently.

There are "no real concerns" with Seattle Mariners rookie right-hander Bryan Woo's right-forearm inflammation, according to general manager Justin Hollander.
