Cardinals Put Maxx Williams On PUP List

The Arizona Cardinals placed tight end Maxx Williams (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Friday.

Kyle Lewis Returns From Injured List

As expected, the Seattle Mariners reinstated outfielder Kyle Lewis (concussion) from the seven-day injured list on Friday and optioned outfielder Justin Upton in a corresponding move.

Adley Rutschman Hitting Second On Friday

Baltimore Orioles rookie catcher Adley Rutschman is behind the plate and is batting second on Friday against the New York Yankees and right-hander Jameson Taillon. It's the first time since Rutschman was called up from the minors that he's hit higher than cleanup in Baltimore's batting order. The 24-year-old switch-hitting backstop has gone only 36-for-162 […]

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria clubbed his ninth home run of the season on Thursday in the 9-6 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers to start the second half of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) left the game early on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants with abdominal tightness, but he thinks the injury is minor.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (foot) is optimistic that he'll return shortly after the All-Star break, and he'll be starting a minor league rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A Memphis.

Multiple Teams Interested In Andrew Benintendi

Multiple teams, including some in the American League East, are interested in acquiring Kansas City Royals All-Star outfielder Andrew Benintendi, according to sources. Benintendi remains unvaccinated against COVID-19, but it appears that his vaccination status isn't a big issue for interested teams. The 28-year-old was unable to play in the recent series in Toronto against […]

Nationals Agree To Deal With David Dahl

The Washington Nationals agreed to a deal with free-agent outfielder David Dahl on Friday.

Dahl hasn't played in […]

Freddy Peralta To Begin Rehab Assignment Soon

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta (lat) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment "within the next week," according to president David Stearns.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Out Six Weeks With Stress Fracture

A CT scan on Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s back revealed a stress fracture, according to sources. The timetable on this type of injury is roughly six weeks. It's a tough break for the 24-year-old All-Star, the Marlins and his fantasy managers. Chisholm had become a must-start for fantasy lineups in 2022, hitting […]

The Detroit Lions signed former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to a source.

David Bell To Begin Camp On PUP List

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver David Bell (foot) is one of a small group of players who will begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Najee Harris Comfortable With Big Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris led the NFL with 381 touches in 2021 and became the first rookie in league history with 300-plus carries and 70-plus receptions.

Patriots Not Naming Offensive, Defensive Coordinators

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick isn't naming an official offensive coordinator to replace Josh McDaniels, who is now the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. The Patriots also won't list an official defensive coordinator. "I'm not big on titles," Belichick said in March. "We have jobs to do. We'll do the jobs." […]

Darin Ruf Blasts Grand Slam

San Francisco Giants first baseman Darin Ruf came up with a huge hit during Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 35-year-old slugger crushed a grand slam off Alex Vesia in the fifth inning. He turned what was a 5-1 contest into a tie game, but sadly it didn't last. The Giants would eventually […]

Craig Kimbrel Converts 16th Save

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel tossed a scoreless ninth inning against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.

Elijah Mitchell To Be Part Of Committee Approach?

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan appears determined to deploy more of a running-back-by-committee approach in 2022, according to NBC Sports' Matt Maiocco. Mitchell put together a strong performance in his rookie season when Raheem Mostert was lost for the season in Week 1, rushing for 963 yards and five touchdowns. But Mitchell missed […]

Joey Lucchesi To Throw Live Batting Practice

New York Mets starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi (elbow) is scheduled to throw against live hitters during batting practice on Friday. The 29-year-old hasn't pitched all season as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery. It sounds like Lucchesi is nearing a rehab assignment. That being said, there's a chance Lucchesi rejoins the Mets […]

Josh Jacobs Returns To Practice

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, who sat out of organized team activities this spring, returned to practice on the first day of training camp on Thursday. In what could be his final season in black and silver, Jacobs should be the team's primary backfield option, but he'll have to prove himself to the […]

Mets, Astros Interested In Josh Bell

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell is likely to be on the move here soon. The 31-year-old has been hot at the plate this season, so the Nats are likely going to cash-in on his value. As of right now, the New York Mets and Houston Astros are reportedly pursuing Bell. The Mets have also […]

Kyler Murray Deal Shouldn't Impact Lamar Jackson

CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones gets the sense that the deal that quarterback Kyler Murray signed with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday for five years and $230.5 million doesn't necessarily impact Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's contract-extension talks. Jackson is a former unanimous NFL MVP with two playoff appearances and one playoff win, so he should […]

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Thinks He's Versatile

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr.'s deal with the team was quickly forgotten when Miami made the blockbuster trade to acquire Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason. Wilson caught 45 passes for 602 yards last year in Dallas and lined up in the slot 90.5 percent of the time, according to […]

Mecole Hardman Will Have His Chances

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman should have a bigger role in the offense with Tyreek Hill now with the Miami Dolphins. Hardman said that quarterback Patrick Mahomes is expected to give every receiver a chance to shine in 2022. "Definitely opportunity, for sure," Hardman said. "A guy like Tyreek with a lot of […]

According to Fred Katz of The Athletic, there is an "excellent chance" that the NBA will investigate the New York Knicks' signing of Jalen Brunson as a potential case of tampering.

Eric Paschall Being Pursued By Greek Squad

Free-agent forward Eric Paschall is reportedly being pursued by the Greek club Panathinaikos BC.
