Zach Eflin Still Day-To-Day

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said it's still "day-to-day" with right-hander Zach Eflin (knee) as to whether he will make his next start on Tuesday against the New York Yankees.

Yandy Diaz To Return On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that corner infielder Yandy Diaz (groin) will be in the lineup on Friday against the Houston Astros as the designated hitter and will avoid an injured-list stint due to groin tightness.

Anthony Richardson To Start In Week 1?

ESPN's Dan Graziano thinks Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson will offer enough as a runner that he'll be the team's best option under center in Week 1 over Gardner Minshew.

C.J. Stroud Expected To Start In Week 1

ESPN's Dan Graziano thinks that Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud will show enough this summer and in the preseason to convince the team to start him in Week 1.

Clayton Tune's Mobility Could Give Him A Chance

Arizona Cardinals veteran quarterback Colt McCoy is expected to open Week 1 as the starter under center with Kyler Murray (knee) still recovering from a torn ACL.

49ers Likely To Keep Trey Lance?

The San Francisco 49ers carried three quarterbacks last year and still didn't have enough to get through the NFC Championship game.

Veteran Brandon Allen is a solid fourth option and would likely […]
