Ha-Seong Kim Picks Up Three Hits In Leadoff Spot

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim set the table nicely as the leadoff hitter on Tuesday, but it wasn't enough in the 9-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first game of the series.

Michael Soroka Could Start Friday

MLB.com's Mark Bowman is guessing that Atlanta Braves right-hander Michael Soroka will be called up to start this Friday against the Miami Marlins.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. re-signed on a two-year, $1.4 million contract this offseason and flashed during 7-on-7 drills during the team's two-day minicamp.

Jaleel McLaughlin Showing Potential

Denver Broncos undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin had more than 8,000 rushing yards in his five-year career at Youngstown State, and he showed speed, vision and decisiveness in the no-pads portion of the team's offseason program. He's undersized at 5-foot-7, 187 pounds, but his potential as a runner is clear, especially if he continues […]

K'Lavon Chaisson Could Have A Big Year

With Jacksonville Jaguars edge rusher Josh Allen skipping organized team activities this offseason, linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson got a lot more work, and the coaching staff noticed a difference in the 2020 first-round pick.

Julian Blackmon Moving To Strong Safety

Indianapolis Colts safety Julian Blackmon is being moved to strong safety this year, where his instincts and tackling ability might be seen on a more regular basis.

Derek Stingley Jr. Looks Physically Improved

Houston Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., who was the No. 3 overall pick in last year's draft, looks physically improved this offseason compared to his rookie year, and his ability jumped out consistently throughout spring workouts.

Nolan Jones Out Against Lefty Tuesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones will take a seat on Tuesday with the team facing left-hander Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks (knee) is making progress after tearing his ACL in Week 17 last year and posted a video on his social media of him doing running drills.
