Long-Term Extension Could Happen For Dalton Schultz

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz has a chance to receive a new deal before July 15, the deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign long-term contracts. Still, it's not a foregone conclusion that it will happen, although NFL Network's Mike Garafolo anticipates discussions between both sides to intensify. Schultz, who had 78 grabs for 808 […]

Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Franmil Reyes reached a major milestone in Friday night's game, hitting the 100th home run of his career. It's his eighth long ball of this season.

Josh Naylor Back In The Lineup On Saturday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor (back) is back in the lineup on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. The 25-year-old has been dealing with back spasms, which have forced him to miss four of the last five games.

Eloy Jimenez Sitting Out On Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers.

He's appeared in three games […]

Mike Gesicki Expected To Play On Tag This Season

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is expected to play on a franchise tag in 2022-23. Both sides have until July 15 to reach a long-term agreement.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright went all the way Friday night, throwing a complete game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Kris Bryant Homers Twice Friday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant hit two home runs Friday night, leading the team to a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. He also doubled and walked in five plate appearances.

Josh Rojas Adds Home Run And Stolen Base

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas had a big game Friday, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk, a stolen base, three RBI, and a run scored against the Colorado Rockies in a 6-5 loss.

Jose Urquidy Goes Eight Strong Friday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy capitalized on a favorable matchup against the feeble Oakland Athletics Friday, pitching eight strong innings to earn his eighth win of the season.

Nico Hoerner Goes Deep Friday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner hit a home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers Friday, his fifth of the season. He didn't reach base in any of his three other plate appearances.
