Arizona Cardinals 2024 NFL Schedule: Opponents, Game Times, TV Info for Regular and Preseason

Though last year's 4-13 record doesn't look very pretty on paper, it's probably fair to say that the Arizona Cardinals enter 2024 with some controlled optimism.

Dakota Hudson Clears Waivers, Outrighted To Triple-A

Colorado Rockies right-hander Dakota Hudson cleared waivers on Thursday and has been outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Blue Jays Put Kevin Kiermaier On Waivers

The Toronto Blue Jays have placed veteran outfielder Kevin Kiermaier on revocable waivers, according to sources. The Blue Jays are likely hoping a team will claim Kiermaier and take around $4.5 million off of the $10.5 million, one-year deal he signed in the offseason.

Yordan Alvarez Not Playing On Thursday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hip) is not in the team's starting lineup on Thursday versus the visiting Miami Marlins.

The Nationals took Dylan Crews with the second overall pick in last year's draft and a lot of people thought they got a steal as the Pirates passed up Crews for his LSU teammate Paul Skenes. Well, we know that Skenes was certainly the right pick so far as he's been dominant in the majors, […]

Brenden Rice Could Miss 53-Man Roster

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Brenden Rice posted career-highs in receptions (45), receiving yards (791), and receiving touchdowns (12) in 2023 while catching passes from USC's Caleb Williams, but he still fell to L.A. in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

When Is Jasson Dominguez Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 17 Update)

Those who stashed Jasson Dominguez, aka The Martian, hoping for a late-season surge may not get it.

Dominguez returned to the Yankees […]

Should I Stash Max Meyer In Redraft Leagues? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 16)

As we head into the All-Star Break, the Miami Marlins still sit near the bottom of the MLB standings with the second-fewest wins in all of baseball.

Kimani Vidal Currently In The RB3 Role For Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal is the current projected RB3 in Greg Roman's offense, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) was scratched from the lineup for Double-A Springfield on Wednesday due to "general soreness" after playing in his first minor-league rehab game on Tuesday.

Jose Altuve To Skip All-Star Game To Rest His Hand

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hand) will miss next week's All-Star game, "opting to rest a sore left hand," stemming from being hit by a pitch last Friday against the Minnesota Twins, according to the team.

Kyle Philips Battling For Roster Spot

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips kicked off his NFL career in 2022 by leading the team in targets (nine) in his debut. However, he has since been either injured or unproductive.
