Kevin Pillar Sitting Out Against Marlins

Atlanta Braves outfielder Kevin Pillar is not in the starting lineup for the first game of a series against the Miami Marlins on Monday.

Christian Arroyo On The Bench Monday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo is on the bench for the game on Monday against the Baltimore Orioles. It's the second straight day that Arroyo will start on Boston's bench after he returned to action on Saturday following a minor hamstring injury. With Arroyo out again, Enrique Hernandez will get another start at […]

Jason Vosler Designated For Assignment

The Cincinnati Reds designated infielder Jason Vosler for assignment on Monday and selected the contract of outfielder Henry Ramos from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Vosler was an early season bright spot for the Reds out of the gates, but he struck out way too often and fell back to Earth hard in recent […]

Nate Pearson Expected To Be Recalled

The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to call up right-hander Nate Pearson from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday ahead of their game against the Chicago White Sox, according to a source.

White Sox Put Lucas Giolito On Bereavement List

The Chicago White Sox placed starting pitcher Lucas Giolito on the bereavement list on Monday and reinstated right-hander Joe Kelly (groin) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Kris Bryant Dealing With Lower-Body Injury

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (lower body) was removed from Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies in the third inning due to a lower-body injury.

Yonathan Daza Day-To-Day After Sunday's Injury

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (hand) left Sunday's game early against the Philadelphia Phillies after being hit by a pitch on his left hand.

Minnesota Twins first baseman/outfielder Alex Kirilloff (wrist) went off in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI, two runs scored and a walk.

C.J. Stroud Could Fall To Lions At No. 6

The Detroit Lions could surprisingly be in the quarterback market in this year's draft, and it's unlikely that Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud would fall past the Lions at No. 6 overall if he falls out of the top-five picks on Thursday night. Stroud is a younger and cheaper version of Jared Goff with better […]

Seahawks Expected To Take Quarterback In First Round

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay has a strong sense that the Seattle Seahawks won't leave Round 1 of this week's draft without a quarterback. McShay thinks Seattle could be targeting Ohio State's C.J. Stroud or Florida's Anthony Richardson at No. 5 overall, depending on who is still available. The idea is that either Stroud or […]

Will Levis-Colts Rumors Are Very Real

The buzz surrounding the Indianapolis Colts and University of Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is very real. The Colts seem to be extremely intrigued with Levis as their next franchise signal-caller, and ESPN's Todd McShay is unsure what they'll do if he's not on the board when they pick. The next question is whether the Colts […]

Cardinals Want Offensive-Line Reinforcements

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay keeps hearing the Arizona Cardinals want to improve their offensive line to better protect quarterback Kyler Murray. The Cardinals are also borderline desperate to trade out of the No. 3 spot, and they could slide back to take Northwestern's Peter Skoronski, who could be available at No. 11 overall. If […]

Texans To Pass On C.J. Stroud At No. 2 Overall?

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay keeps hearing from people around the league that the Houston Texans will not take Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud at No. 2 overall this Thursday night.

Giants Giving No Indications Of An Extension For Adoree' Jackson

There have been no indications that the New York Giants want to extend cornerback Adoree' Jackson as he enters the final year of his contract in 2023. The G-Men seem content to let him play out this season and then reassess. Jackson recently signed a three-year, $39 million deal with the Giants in 2021, but […]

Parris Campbell Could Move To Outside Receiver

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell, who was in the slot for 77 percent of his offensive snaps with the Indianapolis Colts last season, is the most likely to play outside receiver more in 2023 in his first year with the Giants. Wan'Dale Robinson is a slot-only player, while Sterling Shepard can play inside […]

Saquon Barkley Unlikely To Be Traded

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley wasn't thrilled that he received the franchise tag, but he was present at workouts led by quarterback Daniel Jones in Arizona this week and is unlikely to be traded by the Giants. The team values him enough to carry his $10.1 million salary cap hit on the tag, […]

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Harold Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored, a walk and a strikeout in the team's come-from-behind, walk-off win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night by a score of 8-7. Ramirez now has four long balls on the year and is on a nice […]
