Plenty Of Hype Surrounding Clayton Tune

There has been plenty of hype surrounding Arizona Cardinals rookie fifth-round quarterback Clayton Tune this offseason. Kyler Murray (knee) isn't expected to be ready for Week 1 after tearing his ACL late last year. Veteran Colt McCoy is considered the front-runner to start under center early on, but David Blough and Tune will get opportunities […]

Yoan Moncada Starts Rehab Assignment

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) started his minor-league rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A Charlotte. Moncada hasn't played much this year due to injuries and was last seen on a major-league field on June 13, so expect him to have a rather lengthy rehab assignment before returning to the White Sox. The […]

Kyle Wright Will Throw Off The Mound Soon

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright (shoulder) is close to throwing off the mound. He's been tossing off flat ground and has felt good doing it, so he's progressing.

Spencer Turnbull Will Toss Batting Practice Saturday

Unfortunately, he returned this year but was limited to only seven starts before landing on the 60-day injured list because of a neck injury. Even worse, he was […]

Alex Kirilloff Starting Against Oakland

Minnesota Twins infielder Alex Kirilloff will start on Friday against the Oakland Athletics. Jose Miranda (shoulder) is battling soreness, so he'll sit this one out. The 25-year-old will face left-hander Ken Waldichuk for the first time and bat sixth. Kiriloff has struck out 49 times this season. However, he has played well enough to draw […]

Jose Miranda Pulled From Friday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda (shoulder) isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics. The 28-year-old is battling right shoulder soreness. However, he's had the injury since spring training, so he shouldn't miss much time unless things have progressively worsened. In the meantime, Alex Kirilloff, batting .273 with 47 hits, 18 […]

Jesse Chavez Aiming For Bullpen Session Next Week

Atlanta Braves right-hander Jesse Chavez (shin) hopes to throw a bullpen session next week. The 39-year-old reliever is currently on the 15-day injured list after suffering a contusion before the All-Star break.

Merrill Kelly To Throw Simulated Game Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly (calf) will throw a 75-pitch simulated game on Saturday in Arizona.

Chris Jones, Chiefs Still Working On Extension

According to NFL Network's James Palmer, the Chiefs and defensive tackle Chris Jones continue to work toward an extension.

Of course, Jones […]

Tyler O'Neill Could Return Next Week

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) has restarted a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis and is set to play seven innings in the field on Friday before serving as the designated hitter on Saturday.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) received an injection in his right wrist over the All-Star break this week and is still several days away from being able to swing a bat.
