Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran picked up a save in his debut with the club in a 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday. Duran, acquired from the Minnesota Twins before Thursday's trade deadline, recorded a 1-2-3 ninth inning on a mere four pitches for his 17th save in 19 tries this season. The […]
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-handed reliever Kirby Yates (back) on the 15-day injured list with lower back pain on Friday. The team added a pair of right-handers, Brock Stewart and Paul Gervase, as well as outfielder Alex Call to its roster in corresponding moves. This continues a brutal run of injuries for LA's bullpen, […]
San Francisco Giants closer Randy Rodriguez threw a scoreless 10th inning to collect his second save of the year in a 3-2 win over the New York Mets on Friday. It wasn't an easy outing for Rodriguez, who hit a batter and walked another, but he escaped a bases-loaded jam with a strikeout of Ronny […]
Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller (elbow) cruised over four scoreless innings and 52 pitches in his first rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Friday. Miller, who's working back from elbow inflammation, tossed 42 strikes, gave up one hit, and tallied six strikeouts against no walks in his first game since June 6. The 26-year-old turned […]
Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (hamstring) left a 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Friday with cramping in his right hamstring, manager Joe Espada announced. The Astros moved just-acquired third baseman Carlos Correa over to replace Pena in the bottom of the 10th inning. They brought in another trade deadline pickup, Ramon Urias, […]
According to Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton, wide receiver Troy Franklin is "having a good camp." The 22-year-old had a quiet rookie season. However, he at least displayed some signs of promise by catching 28 passes for 263 yards and two touchdowns. The Broncos have plenty of capable receivers, specifically Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims […]
Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson (knee) left practice on Friday. Fortunately, it appears Wilson will be fine, with Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reporting that there was "no damage" to the knee while adding that the 26-year-old "shouldn't be out long." It's certainly good news, considering MarShawn Lloyd (groin) hasn't been practicing. Wilson […]
New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (undisclosed) was injured at practice on Friday. The 29-year-old limped off the field after a catch before being attended to by team medical staff. He appeared in 12 games for the Pats last season. However, Bourne didn't do much from a fantasy standpoint, amassing 28 catches for 305 […]
Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) is reportedly in position to make his next start at the MLB level, according to manager Joe Espada. Arrighetti has been sidelined since early April after suffering a fractured thumb. The right-hander made three rehab appearances, which included getting knocked around for five earned runs on Thursday. There's […]
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders looked good during the team's eighth day of training camp. While Joe Flacco continued to shine, Sanders showed signs of growth, completing seven of his 10 attempts and throwing a touchdown. Kenny Pickett (hamstring) returned to practice on Friday. However, he was limited to individual drills. Pickett's return to full […]
Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Trent Thornton (Achilles) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday. Thornton will miss the rest of the regular season after suffering a torn left Achilles during Thursday's game. He'll finish his 2025 season with a 4.68 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 32/14 K/BB ratio across 42.1 innings of work. […]
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kumar Rocker has been optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. This seemed likely to happen after the Rangers acquired Merrill Kelly at the trade deadline. Rocker was having a tough time adjusting to the big leagues with a 5.74 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and a 56/23 K/BB ratio across 14 starts. […]
Cleveland Guardians first baseman/outfielder C.J. Kayfus was called up to the MLB on Friday. The 23-year-old is well deserving of this promotion after mashing the ball in the minors. This season, Kayfus is slashing .300/.390/.539 with 14 home runs, 54 RBI, and four steals between Double-A and Triple-A this season. He's a former third-round pick […]
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Randy Rodriguez has been named the closer going forward. The Giants were in need of another late inning option with Camilo Doval being traded to the New York Yankees on Thursday. Rodriguez makes the most sense for the closer role given how well he has pitched this season. He holds […]
