Wil Myers To Test His Knee Thursday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (knee) said he will run the bases to test his knee on Thursday and will also shag fly balls for a few days before the team discusses his next steps on his rehab. If Myers feels fine over the next couple days, there's a good chance he'll be cleared […]

Yusei Kikuchi Put On Injured List Thursday

The Toronto Blue Jays placed left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (neck) on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with a neck strain and recalled right-hander Max Castillo from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

George Springer Out Again Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. Springer will start on the bench for the second straight game, but there hasn't been any word that he's injured.

Joey Votto Also Out For Game 2

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) will sit out of the starting lineup once again for Game 2 of a doubleheader on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Josh Gordon Could Make Final Roster

Vlatko Cancar Gets Three-Year Contract Extension From Denver

Denver Nuggets power forward Vlatko Cancar has agreed to a three-year extension to remain with the franchise, including a team option in the final season.
