Russell Gage Feared To Have Suffered Season-Ending Injury

Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (knee) suffered a non-contact knee injury during Wednesday's joint practice with the New York Jets, and the belief heading into exams is that the severe injury will end Gage's season before it even began.

Jameson Williams Tweaks His Hamstring

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (hamstring) pulled up grabbing his right hamstring during training camp practice on Wednesday.

Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley (hamstring) remains sidelined at training camp practice this week after picking up a hamstring injury in the team's preseason opener last weekend.

Tyler Allgeier Will Still Have A Role

The Atlanta Falcons drafted rookie running back Bijan Robinson eighth overall in this year's NFL draft because they plan to use him a lot, but they also don't want to overuse him. They don't have to overwork Robinson because they still have Tyler Allgeier, who set the franchise's rookie rushing record in 2022 (210 carries […]

Michael Brantley Starts Rehab Assignment

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) started his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday night, according to the team.

An MRI exam showed that Oakland Athletics outfielder JJ Bleday (knee) has an ACL sprain in his left knee. Manager Mark Kotsay said he doesn't want to rule out Bleday for the rest of the 2023 season, but a return this year is up in the air. The A's placed Bleday on the 10-day injured […]

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson (ankle, oblique) is dealing with some recurring soreness in the left ankle he sprained in May as well as his oblique.

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed reliever Ryan Helsley's (forearm) next minor-league rehab outing has been pushed back from Wednesday due to soreness, according to manager Oliver Marmol.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) did some running on Tuesday to test his injured left knee and he's scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this week.

Joe Ryan Could Begin Rehab Assignment Soon

Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan (groin) threw a successful bullpen session on Tuesday, and if he comes out of it feeling good on Wednesday, the next step would be for him to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. It means that Ryan is pretty close to rejoining Minnesota's starting rotation for the stretch run. The […]

Nathan Eovaldi Throws Bullpen On Tuesday

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (forearm) threw another encouraging bullpen session on Tuesday and pitched the equivalent of two innings. Eovaldi continues to ramp up his throwing program and will next need to face live hitters before eventually going on a minor-league rehab start.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck (face) is lined up to come off the injured list to start against the Houston Astros on the road on Monday.

J.P. Crawford Trending In The Right Direction

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (concussion) is trending in a positive direction, but it's still unclear if he'll rejoin the team when he's eligible to be activated from the seven-day concussion injured list on Thursday, according to manager Scott Servais. Unless Crawford suffers a setback in the next few days, he should at least return […]

Marcus Stroman Won't Return On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman (hip, rib) is now feeling right-rib discomfort and is getting checked out, so he won't make his return from the injured list to start on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox.

Aaron Judge Won't Need Offseason Surgery

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) won't need surgery on his big right toe in the offseason.

Still No Timetable For Mike Trout's Return

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) said he's been hitting off a pitching machine, but he has yet to face full velocity.

Kevin Kiermaier On Track To Return Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (elbow) is on track to be activated from the injured list on Friday. He took batting practice on the field on Tuesday and said he felt good swinging a bat. It's good news for Kiermaier, considering he still has eight stitches in his right arm.

Bo Bichette Starting Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) will start his minor-league rehab assignment as the designated hitter on Tuesday night with Triple-A Buffalo, and the plan is for him to play shortstop on Wednesday.

Shane McClanahan To Have Tommy John Surgery

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (forearm) will undergo Tommy John surgery on Monday and will likely miss all of the 2024 season. We already knew that McClanahan was out for the rest of the 2023 campaign, but now the talented 26-year-old southpaw will also miss all of next year. It's a tough break for […]

Wade Meckler Back In Two-Hole In Second Big-League Game

San Francisco Giants rookie outfielder Wade Meckler is starting in center field and hitting second on Tuesday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Zack Littell. Meckler made his big-league debut on Monday and finished 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts, so he'll still be looking for his first major-league hit on Tuesday. […]

Wilmer Flores Returns To Lineup For Giants

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores (ear) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday, playing third base and batting third for San Francisco against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Zack Littell.
