Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros.

Avisail Garcia will […]

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) is "moving around this week" with hopes of a quick return. The team isn't ruling him for Week 1 yet.
