Matt Manning To Rejoin Team Tuesday

Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (shoulder) is set to rejoin the team on Tuesday after a strong minor league rehab outing for Triple-A Toledo last Wednesday. Manning walked two and struck out six and threw 57 of his 85 pitches for strikes in 5 2/3 scoreless innings. "It's the best stuff he's had," manager A.J. […]

Brandon Drury Not Certain To Be Traded

Cincinnati Reds infielder Brandon Drury, who is drawing interest from multiple teams at the trade deadline, isn't certain to be traded this summer. The Reds might be interested in exploring an extension with Drury, who turns 30 on Aug. 21 and hit his career-high 20th home run as a pinch-hitter on Sunday. The Reds could […]

Astros Showing Interest In Ji-Man Choi

The Houston Astros are showing interest in Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi as a possible alternative to their apparent No. 1 choice in Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell, according to sources. If the Rays were to trade Choi, they would make other moves to recoup the offense they lost, trying to create […]

Brewers Listening On Josh Hader

The Milwaukee Brewers are again listening to offers for closer Josh Hader, although the conversations might be little more than due diligence. But the Brewers' motivation to trade Hader might be increasing as they head toward their fifth straight playoff appearance. The left-hander's $11 million salary likely will increase to the $16 million range in […]

Astros Focusing On Christian Vazquez

The Houston Astros, who are seeking a catcher at this year's trade deadline, are among several teams reporting a high price on Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras. As a result, they are focusing more on Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez, according to one source. While Martin Maldonado is solid defensively for the Astros, they […]

Shane Bieber Unlikely To Be Traded

The Cleveland Guardians could be daydreaming about the haul that starting pitcher Shane Bieber could fetch on the trade market after the Cincinnati Reds acquired three of the Seattle Mariners' top five prospects for right-hander Luis Castillo last week. However, it's highly unlikely that Bieber is moved this summer at this point. The Guardians inquired […]

Guardians Have Discussed Sean Murphy

The Cleveland Guardians and Oakland Athletics have discussed catcher Sean Murphy, according to sources. However, the talks hadn't gained much traction as of Sunday morning. The A's can hang onto Murphy, who is under team control for another three and a half years, until the offseason and deal him in a much better market. Oakland […]

Dodgers Being More Aggressive On Juan Soto

While the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals have been considered the front-runners to trade for Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been much more aggressive of late in their trade proposals for the 23-year-old superstar. We can only imagine an already strong Dodgers lineup adding one of the best […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (knee, hip) is expected to come off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday, according to a league source.

George Pickens Looking Good Early On

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens has been impressive early in training camp. He turned an out pattern from quarterback Mitch Trubisky on the second play of team drills on Friday and turned it into a nearly 40-yard gain before being wrestled to the ground. Pickens showed the ability to get out of his […]

Kenny Pickett Off To A Rough Start

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett had a rough first three days of training camp last week. The first-round pick has been erratic and inconsistent throwing the football, and he has taken all of his repetitions with the third-team offense so far. It has some believing it will be impossible for him to improve quickly […]

Bryan Edwards Not At Practice Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Bryan Edwards (arm) isn't among the team's receivers early on at practice on Monday after he "fell on his shoulder" during Saturday's training camp practice, according to general manager Terry Fontenot. The Falcons haven't had an update on the seriousness of Edwards' injury, so for now he should be considered day-to-day. […]

Panthers Activate Jaycee Horn From PUP List

The Carolina Panthers activated cornerback Jaycee Horn (foot) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday after he dealt with some foot soreness. Horn will be eased back into practices at training camp. The 22-year-old broke his foot in Week 3 of last year and missed the remainder of his rookie season, but barring […]

Giants Waiting To See More From Kenny Golladay

The New York Giants are waiting to see more from wide receiver Kenny Golladay, who isn't separating from defensive backs well early in training camp. NBC Sports' Peter King writes that the Giants' signing of Golladay for $18 million a year looks like a disaster. Instead, rookie Wan'Dale Robinson has stood out in camp because […]

Orlando Brown Jr. Reporting To Camp Monday

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. will report to training camp on Monday and will play the 2022 season on the franchise tag. Sources close to Brown say he's in the best shape of his life and knows how important the first five days of padded practice are for him, the team and […]

Luis Garcia Secures First Save On Sunday

San Diego Padres pitcher Luis Garcia struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins. He entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. The 35-year-old received the first save opportunity with the recent news of incumbent closer Taylor Rogers "getting […]
