Kennys Vargas Not Expected To Make Final Roster

Minnesota Twins first baseman/designated hitter Kennys Vargas will likely be the odd man out when the team has to trim the roster down to 25 players.

Miguel Sano Scratched With Knee Bruise

The Minnesota Twins scratched third baseman Miguel Sano from the lineup on Friday after he came down with a bruised right knee. Fortunately, the issue is not related to the injury which caused Sano to undergo offseason surgery to have a titanium rod inserted in his left shin. Sano is having a nice spring, batting […]

Jake Odorizzi Completes Successful Bullpen

Minnesota Twins right-hander Jake Odorizzi turned in a successful bullpen session on Thursday, according to reports.

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Brandon Finnegan (biceps) is still experiencing "minimal soreness" in his pitching arm but he was able to play catch on Wednesday. Finnegan is not expected to throw off the mound until the soreness is gone but it appears he's trending in the right direction. Finnegan was removed from a Cactus League game […]

Eli Rogers Becomes A Free Agent

The Pittsburgh Steelers opted not to tender restricted free-agent wide receiver Eli Rogers, allowing the young wide receiver to become an unrestricted free agent.

Browns Solidify O-Line With Chris Hubbard

The Cleveland Browns strengthened their offensive line on Tuesday by signing Chris Hubbard away from the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Hubbard is able to play multiple positions across the offensive line, but he's expected to take over for Shon Coleman at right tackle in 2018. Hubbard will be quite the upgrade over Coleman, who struggled mightily […]

Josh Gordon Tendered By Browns As Exclusive-Rights Free Agent

The Cleveland Browns have tendered wide receiver Josh Gordon as an exclusive-rights free agent. Gordon will make $790,000 in 2018, the veteran minimum.

Browns Looking At Nate Solder

The Cleveland Browns have expressed interest in signing free-agent left tackle Nate Solder. Solder has spent his entire seven-year career with the New England Patriots.

Chris Boswell Gets Tender Offer

The Pittsburgh Steelers have given a second-round tender to kicker Chris Boswell, who is a restricted free agent.

Dilson Herrera Unlikely To Play Defense Soon

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Dilson Herrera (shoulder) is unlikely to get back on the field in a defensive capacity anytime soon, according to manager Bryan Price.

Brandon Finnegan Has Biceps Strain
