Austin Riley Missing Another Game

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley (intercostal) is sitting yet again on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Jorge Polanco Remains Out On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees.

Is Keaton Mitchell or Justice Hill the RB2 for the Ravens?

The messy backfield in Baltimore in 2023 that included Gus Edwards, Keaton Mitchell, Justice Hill, Melvin Gordon, and even Dalvin Cook during the playoffs is no longer.

The Milwaukee Brewers officially placed right-hander Joe Ross (back) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with a lower-back strain and recalled right-hander Tobias Myers from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.
