Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (knee) exited practice on Friday. The 27-year-old, who tore his patellar tendon in Week 7 of last season, experienced "general soreness" on his surgically repaired knee, so the team took the logical approach and kept him out. Jackson signed a five-year, $82.5 million contract in March of 2022 and […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. Last week was probably one of the worst showings that I can remember.

Joey Ortiz - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Joey Ortiz, SS, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: A surging bat down in Triple-A Norfolk belongs to shortstop Joey Ortiz.

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said that right-hander Jose Urquidy (shoulder) will return from the injured list to start on Sunday against the New York Yankees. Urquidy will push lefty J.P.

San Diego Padres right-hander Michael Wacha (shoulder) will make a minor-league rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A El Paso and will likely sit in the 50- to 60-pitch range during the outing.

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (forearm) is now two to three weeks from pitching in a game, according to manager Bruce Bochy. Eovaldi was scheduled to play catch on Friday.

Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Cade Marlowe will start Friday's game against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels on the bench despite hitting a game-winning grand slam for the team on Thursday.

Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (hand) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting second on Friday against the visiting Seattle Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo.

Houston Astros pitcher J.P. France has been outstanding as a starter through his first 15 starts this season. Despite that, the Astros have decided to temporarily move him to the bullpen.

Tyler Scott Impressing Bears Coaching Staff

Chicago Bears speedy rookie wide receiver Tyler Scott is impressing the team's coaching staff at training camp while looking natural tracking down deep passes from quarterbacks Justin Fields and P.J. Walker. "The way he's learning the offense and the way he takes the concepts, he learns at a fast rate, which really helps him," head […]

Max Muncy To Miss Friday's Game

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Possibly, the former CY […]

Keaontay Ingram Dealing With Injury At Camp

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram has not been practicing of late at training camp due to an undisclosed injury.

Outside of Conner and […]
