Los Angeles Angels rookie shortstop Zach Neto (back) is back at shortstop and batting leadoff for the Angels in the series opener on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.

Mike Trout Does Some Running

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) did some running drills on Tuesday, but he isn't expected back from the injured list until August while recovering from a fractured left hamate bone that required surgery.

Pirates Bringing Up Alika Williams

The Pittsburgh Pirates are bringing up middle-infield prospect Alika Williams from the minors on Tuesday. The 37th overall pick in the 2020 draft was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in the Robert Stephenson trade, and he had been killing it at Triple-A Indianapolis with a .305 batting average (39-for-128) with seven home runs, eight […]

Aaron Judge Taking Live At-Bats Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) is taking live at-bats in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League on Tuesday, and he appears to be in the "log-at-bats-quickly" phase, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that infielder Gleyber Torres (hip) is healthy and will return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting New York Mets and right-hander Justin Verlander.

Ha-Seong Kim Goes Deep Twice In Losing Effort

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim was pretty much the team's offense in their 8-4 loss to the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn (foot) told reporters that he's "ready to go" for training camp and feels healthy.

Saints Reunite With Jimmy Graham

The New Orleans Saints announced on Tuesday that they signed five-time Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham to an undisclosed one-year deal.

Byron Buxton Placed On Paternity List

The Minnesota Twins officially placed outfielder Byron Buxton on the paternity list on Monday and recalled outfielder Trevor Larnach from the minors in a corresponding move.

Angels Discussing Trades For Shohei Ohtani

The Los Angeles Angels have communicated about two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani trade scenarios with other teams in recent days. Even with the Angels winning six of their last eight games, the possibility of an Ohtani trade before the Aug. 1 deadline remains real. Any potential trade of Ohtani would be massive, and that's probably an […]

Pirates Willing To Listen On David Bednar

The Pittsburgh Pirates are telling teams that they would listen on All-Star closer David Bednar, but the understanding is that he'd be difficult to move since he isn't a free agent until 2027. The Pittsburgh native currently has a career-best 1.15 ERA (1.98 FIP), 0.95 WHIP, a career-high-tying 19 saves, nine walks and 47 strikeouts […]

Kadarius Toney Not Spotted On Monday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (knee) was not spotted warming up with the team on Monday at training camp.

The 24-year-old has elite athleticism and […]
