Shohei Ohtani Unsure If He'll Skip A Start

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Shohei Ohtani (finger) said he was dealing with cramping in his right middle finger during his start on Thursday night against the Seattle Mariners, and he doesn't know if he'll need to skip his next start.

Texas Rangers left-handed pitcher William Smith notched his 19th save of the season on Thursday in a 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Andres Munoz Collects Another Save Thursday

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Andres Munoz struck out the side in the ninth on Thursday to close out the Los Angeles Angels and pick up his fourth save of the season.

Carlos Estevez Stumbles Against Mariners, Takes Blown Save

Los Angeles Angels closer Carlos Estevez got blown up on Thursday, allowing four earned runs on two hits and two walks in a 5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Estevez ended up taking both the blown save and the loss in this one, as he came into the game with a 3-1 lead. The righty […]

Adbert Alzolay Records 13th Save

Chicago Cubs left-handed pitcher Adbert Alzolay continued to cement himself as the team's primary closing option on Thursday, picking up another save against the Cincinnati Reds in a 5-3 win.

New York Jets wide receiver Jason Brownlee hauled in two of his five targets for 17 yards in the team's 21-16 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Russell Wilson Looking More Mobile

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was bigger weight-wise last year in his first year in Denver in what was the worst season of his career.

Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown Building Chemistry

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown had a close relationship dating back to their teenage years going already, which contributed to the star receiver hitting the ground running in his first year with the team in 2022 (88 catches, 1,496 yards, 11 TDs). Hurts said the two have been working on […]

Kenny Pickett Showing Improvement

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett has reportedly been making good reads early in training camp. That's good news after Pickett had a shaky rookie season in Pittsburgh. He completed 63.0 percent of his passes for 2,404 yards, seven touchdowns and nine interceptions in 13 games. Pickett was only able to top 200 passing yards in […]

Ben Skowronek Returns To Practice

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Ben Skowronek (back) was able to return to the practice field on Thursday. He has been banged up early in camp, but appears to be doing better now.

Anthony Averett Signs With 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers have signed defensive back Anthony Averett to a one-year deal. Averett most recently played with the Las Vegas Raiders last season. He was mainly depth, but has graded well as a defender in the past. His best season was in 2021 when he recorded 54 tackles and three interceptions in 14 […]

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Walker Buehler (elbow), who is trying to come back from Tommy John surgery, is "on the verge" of starting a minor-league rehab assignment. However, Roberts isn't ready to pinpoint a specific date. The Dodgers are hoping to have Buehler back as a starter in September. The […]

Clayton Kershaw Expected To Return To Rotation Next Week

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that left-hander Clayton Kershaw's (shoulder) simulated game on Thursday went well. He will throw a bullpen session in a few days and should return to the team's starting rotation next week.

On Thursday, Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. went 3-for-4 with a home run and a stolen base.

Falcons Waive Feleipe Franks

Atlanta Falcons tight end Feleipe Franks has been waived by the organization. He originally joined the team as a quarterback, but the team transitioned him into tight end last season. The 25-year-old has the size and athleticism to play the tight end position, but it never really worked out for him. He was injured during […]
