Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez (hip) will take batting practice on Friday but isn't close to game action. He has been sidelined since June 7 due to an injured hip. The 30-year-old won't be ready to return until late August at the earliest. He slashed .209/.273/.340 with four home runs, 24 RBI, and 27 […]

Isaiah Livers Could Earn Starting Gig

Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers appears to have a chance at earning a starting spot next season. As of right now, Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Saddiq Bey, and Isaiah Stewart are expected to be four of the starters. However, the final spot could very well come down to Livers and Marvin Bagley III. This could […]

Dennis Santana Placed On The Injured List

Texas Rangers pitcher Dennis Santana (ankle) was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left ankle sprain Thursday. The move is retroactive to August 3, and he will miss at least the next two weeks. He owns a 5.09 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and a 33:18 K: BB over 40 2/3 innings in 2022. The […]

Will Barton Might Be A Starter

Washington Wizards forward Will Barton has the inside track to the starting gig, according to Josh Robbins of The Athletic. Barton was acquired by Washington alongside Monte Morris earlier this offseason. As of right now, Bradley Beal, Kyle Kuzma, and Kristaps Porzingis are penciled in as starters. Both Barton and Morris are expected to battle […]

Albert Okwuegbunam May See More Red-Zone Looks

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam could see more targets moving ahead after Tim Patrick (knee) was lost for the year. Head coach Nathaniel Hackett emphasized the need for others to step up on the offensive end this season, especially inside the red zone, an area where Patrick has thrived over the years. With Noah […]

Kyrie Irving In Good Place With Nets

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is reportedly in a good place with the organization, according to Ian Begley. The Los Angeles Lakers appear to be the top designation for Irving. Outside of that, there doesn't seem to be much movement on the trade front for the All-Star guard. There is a chance that Irving remains […]

Kole Calhoun Lands On The Injured List

Texas Rangers outfielder Kole Calhoun (heel) was placed on the 10-day injured list with right heel irritation on Thursday. The severity of Calhoun's injury is unknown, but he will miss at least the next 10 days. Calhoun is slashing .211/.269/.363 with 11 home runs, 43 RBI, 35 runs, and two stolen bases over 350 plate […]

Monte Morris Could Be Starting Point Guard

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris could emerge in the starting five right away with his new team. Morris and Will Barton were traded to Washington as part of a trade with the Denver Nuggets earlier this offseason. The Wizards do have Delon Wright, but it sounds like Morris has the edge over Wright. Wizards coach […]

A.J. Brown The Primary Target During Camp

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has been "the focal point of the offense" during training camp. The Titans traded the 25-year-old during the 2022 NFL Draft after he spent his first three seasons in Tennessee. During that time, Brown was one of the league's most prominent wideouts, compiling 185 catches for 2,995 yards and […]

Kendrick Nunn Feels 100 Percent

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn (knee) is expected to take the court to begin the 2022-2023 season. He missed all of last season due to a lingering knee issue. However, Nunn has accepted his player option and will remain with the Lakers for at least one more season. When healthy, Nunn averaged nearly 15 […]

Michael Wacha Strikes Out Eight In Thursday's Rehab Start

Boston Red Sox pitcher Michael Wacha (shoulder) struck out eight across 4 2/3 scoreless innings with Triple-A Worcester on Thursday. He didn't allow a hit and threw 63 pitches in his first rehab start. The 31-year-old had been sidelined with right shoulder inflammation since the beginning of July. He owns a 2.69 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, […]

Zack Moss Standing Out In Short-Yardage Situations

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss has shown promise in short-yardage situations during training camp. Rookie James Cook has thrived as a pass-catcher. Yet, Moss has reportedly displayed "good vision and physicality," so there is a chance he may get some touches at the goal line this season. Nonetheless, although the 24-year-old should have some […]

Matthew Boyd Throws Bullpen Session On Thursday

Seattle Mariners pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow) threw a bullpen session with the Tacoma Rainiers on Thursday. The next step for the southpaw will be a rehab assignment. He has been sidelined all season as Boyd continues to work his way back from surgery on his flexor tendon last September. The 31-year-old went 3-8 with a […]

Clayton Kershaw Will Undergo Tests On Back

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (back) "got checked up" on one of his warm-up throws in the fifth inning and told trainers his back tightened. According to manager Dave Roberts, he will undergo tests back in Los Angeles on Friday but isn't sure of the severity. The southpaw allowed two runs (one earned) on […]

James Cook Looking Good In Camp

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has "opened some eyes here a little bit in the run and pass game," stated head coach Sean McDermott. The former Georgia Bulldog has undoubtedly impressed since being taken in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, especially as a pass-catcher. Although Devin Singletary will likely get a […]

Gavin Lux Doubles In Thursday's Victory

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux collected two hits in four at-bats, including a double, in Thursday's 5-3 win over the San Francisco Giants. He also scored a run and produced an RBI in the contest. Lux is now batting .298 with a .373 on-base percentage, 53 runs, 33 RBI and six stolen bases […]

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell went yard on Thursday when his club lost 8-7 to the Oakland Athletics. The home run was a solo shot, and he was 1-for-4 overall with a strikeout. Adell, a former top prospect, has yet to put it all together in the big leagues, owning a .609 career OPS […]

Saints Sign Kiko Alonso

Free-agent linebacker Kiko Alonso will join the Saints on a one-year deal, marking his second stint with the club. The 31-year-old was selected in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Bills. Since then, he had stops in Philadelphia and Miami. He last suited up for New Orleans in 2019, so his […]

C.J. Beathard Not Playing Against Raiders

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback C.J. Beathard (groin) won't play during the preseason matchup against Las Vegas.

Jake Luton Starting On Thursday Night

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Jake Luton will start during Thursday's Hall of Fame Game versus Las Vegas. Trevor Lawrence won't see any action in the preseason bout, and backup C.J. Beathard (groin) has been limited throughout training camp. As a result, Luton will get some reps, with Kyle Sloter also in line to see the field. […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick Returns To Practice On Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (wrist) was activated from the Non-Football Injury list on Thursday. The defensive specialist hurt his wrist while on vacation during the offseason, although it didn't take him long to shed his NFI designation and re-join his team. Fitzpatrick appeared in 16 games in 2021, finishing with a career-high 124 tackles […]

Cole Ragans To Make MLB Debut Thursday

Texas Rangers left-hander Cole Ragans, the team's No. 29 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is in Arlington with the taxi squad on Thursday and is expected to make his major league debut against the Chicago White Sox.

Bryce Harper Hopes To Return In September

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow, thumb) gave a loose timetable for his return on Thursday. "We're still on the same timeline of September-ish and come back when I'm ready and able to come back," Harper said. It's not much of an update, but before Thursday, he had refused to put any sort of potential […]
