Nathan Eovaldi Leaves Thursday's Start With Groin Tightness
Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (groin) left his start early on Thursday against the visiting Washington Nationals with right-groin tightness.

Steelers Decline Fifth-Year Option On Justin Fields
The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially declined the fifth-year option on quarterback Justin Fields.

The expectation is... Read More
