Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel has not been a reliable option throughout most of the season. On Friday, the veteran reliever was asked to take the ball with a three-run lead against the Colorado Rockies.

Free-agent running back Jordan Howard worked out with the Steelers on Friday. The veteran began his career in Chicago, playing his first three seasons with the Bears and compiling 3,370 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns off nearly 800 carries. However, his production has fizzled after he was traded to Philadelphia ahead of the 2019-20 campaign. […]

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Aaron Civale (wrist) is scheduled to throw off of a mound on Sunday.

Justin Turner Unlikely To Play This Weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) is unlikely to play in his team's weekend series against the Colorado Rockies.

Marcus Mariota Looking Good In Training Camp

Although it's early in training camp, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota has looked good. Unofficially, he's completed all 24 passes he's thrown so far, but a lot of them have been short throws and he was bailed out a few times on Thursday on nice plays from his tight ends. Rookie third-rounder Desmond Ridder also […]

Taylor Rogers Removed From Closer Role

San Diego Padres left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers has been removed from the closer role, according to manager Bob Melvin.

Since May 28, Rogers has compiled a […]

Panthers Sign Duke Dawson

The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent cornerback Duke Dawson to an undisclosed deal on Friday. The Panthers have some back-end depth issues at the position in training camp, so they will bring the former second-round pick by the New England Patriots in this summer. The 26-year-old spent his only two NFL seasons in 2019 and 2020 […]

Ruling On Deshaun Watson Could Come Early Next Week

A ruling from NFL disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson on Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's suspension could come early next week.

Whether it's for the entire 2022 season or […]

Corey Seager Not In Lineup Friday

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (leg) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Seager is day-to-day with a right leg contusion after he fouled a ball off said leg in last night's game. The Rangers are likely to take extra caution with Seager, who has had his problems […]

Giants Host Devontae Booker Friday

The New York Giants hosted free-agent running back Devontae Booker on a tryout on Friday. Booker was released by the Giants earlier this offseason in a move to save salary cap space, but he ran well for the team in 2021.

Kenneth Gainwell Works With First-Team Offense

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell was the first-team running back in training camp practice on Friday, with Miles Sanders working with the second team.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan and wide receiver Parris Campbell have shown a strong connection early in training camp practices after they spent plenty of time together away from the team's facilities in the offseason. "When I'm lined up in the slot running those crossers, that's Matt's bread and butter," Campbell said. The 25-year-old has […]

Pat Freiermuth Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury at training camp. Freiermuth left Thursday's practice early with some lower body tightness and also sat out Friday with his hamstring issue. It doesn't sound like his injury is very serious, but the Steelers are likely to play it safe with their […]

Tylor Megill To Pitch Out Of Bullpen

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Tylor Megill (shoulder) is likely to assume a bullpen role when he returns to the team.
