Houston Astros manager Joe Espada said he would like to "cut back" on outfielder Yordan Alvarez's playing time in left field next year.

Jordan Whittington Misses Monday's Practice

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) wasn't available for Monday's practice estimate. Whittington has been dealing with a shoulder injury for weeks, but continues to suit up.
