Athletics pitcher Osvaldo Bido is expected to start Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. It seemed like an odd statement, but A's manager Mark Kotsay said Bido will be the pitcher out there in the first inning.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) injured his hamstring earlier this August and hasn't participated in a practice since then.

Teams have every incentive to be […]

Los Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz said on the CBS broadcast on Saturday that running back Najee Harris (eye) is "on track" and "hopefully" will be ready for Week 1 in Brazil against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, Sept. 5.

Tyler Anderson Placed on Paternity List

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Anderson was placed on the paternity leave list on Monday. Anderson is currently scheduled to start on Wednesday, but that seems unlikely to happen.
