Cleveland Indians rookie starting pitcher Aaron Civale pitched well enough on Monday, earning his third win to even his record at 3-3.

Robby Anderson Looking Good For Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (calf) is trending towards playing Week 1 according to Rich Cimini. Head Coach Adam Gase said "Everything is trending in the right direction," when asked about the status of Anderson and cornerback Trumaine Johnson (hamstring) heading into practice this week.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Minor was brilliant Monday in the Bronx firing 7 1/3 shutout innings while earning his 12th win of the season.

Cal Quantrill Devoured By Snakes

San Diego Padres starter Cal Quantrill was demolished for eight earned runs Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Kahale Warring Placed On Injured Reserve

Houston Texans tight end Kahale Warring (concussion) has been placed on the Injured Reserve. Warring's been out for awhile now with the concussion and this move had been expected for a little while.

Texans Place Jordan Thomas On IR

The Houston Texans have put tight end Jordan Thomas (rib) on the Injured Reserve. Thomas could come off the IR after Week 8, but he'll be out at least until then, if not the entire year. Thomas was projected to be Houston's starting tight end and a fantasy sleeper earlier in the year, but he […]

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson is working his way back from an ankle sprain that has sidelined him since the preseason Week 2 game against the Cardinals. It was reported that he's "moving comfortably and re-integrating himself back into the mix" after a two and a half week absence. Nelson should be ready to […]

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez picked up his 17th save of the season on Monday, recording four outs without allowing a run or a hit. He struck out two and threw just 17 pitches.

Marquise Goodwin Fending Off Young Receivers
