Toronto Blue Jays pitchers Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassitt, Jose Berrios and Yusei Kikuchi are all slated to return to the team's starting rotation next year, and general manager Ross Atkins confirmed that right-hander Alek Manoah (arm) will be in a good spot to earn the final rotation spot come spring training despite his disappointing 2022, […]
Free-agent right-hander Adam Oller agreed to terms with the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, according to a source.

The Los Angeles Angels hired Atlanta Braves third base coach Ron Washington as their new manager on Wednesday. They will give him an undisclosed two-year contract. Washington will become the 23rd manager in franchise history after the Halos fired Phil Nevin following another disappointing season in 2023 that ended without a playoff berth. The 71-year-old […]
Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran (toe) is doing weight-bearing exercises as he progresses in his rehab from a toe injury. Duran needed surgery on Aug. 30 to fix the flexor tendon in his left big toe and was unable to finish out the 2023 season with Boston. Barring any setbacks this winter, the 27-year-old […]
Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (shoulder) is getting close to starting a hitting program this offseason now that his shoulder injury has healed up. Casas was unable to finish out the 2023 regular season due to inflammation in his right shoulder, but he didn't need surgery of any kind and will have plenty […]
Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr.'s (forearm) agent, Scott Boras, said on Wednesday that his client is "certainly going to be pitching next year, no doubt," but he also didn't give a specific timeline for when McCullers might be back. General manager Dana Brown said on Tuesday that McCullers might not return until sometime in […]
New York Mets left-hander David Peterson (hip) underwent surgery to fix a labrum tear in his left hip on Monday, according to the team. It's an injury that typically takes six to seven months to return from, which means Peterson is unlikely to be ready until May or early June of 2024. The 28-year-old southpaw […]
San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto's agent, Scott Boras, said the Padres have laid out a plan to his client that includes Soto in their lineup next season.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is not practicing with the team on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had a great start to his career with the organization, posting 4,886 yards and 41 passing touchdowns en route to a Super Bowl title in 2021. Last season, he played in just nine games and struggled mightily. In 2023, he's delivered mixed results and finds himself back in the […]
Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said it would be "a little aggressive" to think that All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) could come off Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints, although "he can't wait to get back out there." The good news is the Vikings opened Jefferson's 21-day […]
Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) is still absent from practice on Wednesday. Woods hasn't played since Week 6 and didn't practice at all last week, so he's trending towards another absence in Week 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals. And with Nico Collins also missing practice on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, the Texans […]
Despite the fact that Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (ankle) practiced in full all week, he's officially listed as questionable to come off Injured Reserve to play on Thursday night in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers. Meanwhile, fullback Khari Blasingame (concussion) missed practice all week and has been ruled out. The Bears will […]
The Toronto Blue Jays have met with the representatives of free-agent infielder Jeimer Candelario at the general manager meetings this week.

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of the Week 10 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Pierce missed the Week 9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an ankle injury, and his early-week practice status suggests he could be at risk of missing another game. If so, Devin […]
