Christian Bethancourt Traded To Tampa Bay

The Oakland Athletics have traded catcher/first baseman Christian Bethancourt to the Tampa Bay Rays for two prospects, outfielder Cal Stevenson and pitcher Christian Fernandez.

He is likely to continue getting adequate playing time and is an option at catcher […]

Jeff McNeil To Go On Paternity Leave Monday

New York Mets second baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil will go on paternity leave after this weekend's series against the Miami Marlins. It is unfortunate timing for the Mets, who travel to Atlanta for an important 3 game set with the Braves starting Monday.

Jake McGee DFA'd By Giants

San Francisco Giants left-handed reliever Jake McGee was designated for assignment on Saturday. What a fall from grace for the Giant's former closer. After saving 31 games for the team last season, he has recorded just three in 2022 and has seen his role increasingly diminish throughout the season. His 7.17 ERA and 1.55 WHIP […]

Wander Franco Removed From Saturday's Game

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco left Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds with discomfort in his right hand and wrist. Franco felt discomfort after his first at-bat and left before taking the field. This would be another tough break for the up-and-coming star, who came back from a quadricep injury on June 26th. Testing […]

Joshua Kelley May Not Crack 53-Man Roster

Los Angeles Chargers running back Josh Kelley may not crack the 53-man roster heading into Week 1. Austin Ekeler will lead the charge out of the backfield, as expected. Kelley will also need to battle sophomore Larry Rountree III and 2022 fourth-round selection Isaiah Spiller for a spot on the depth chart. Kelley hasn't looked […]

D'Ernest Johnson May Be Fighting For Roster Spot

Cleveland Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson could be on the chopping block. The team already has Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt to handle nearly all of the work out of the backfield. Demetric Felton and 2022 fifth-round draft pick Jerome Ford are also on the roster. As a result, Johnson's chances of remaining in Cleveland […]

Charlie Morton Picks Up Fifth Win Over Nationals

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton continued his recent stretch of strong performances Friday night, capitalizing on a favorable matchup against the Washington Nationals.

Bryan Reynolds Taking A Seat Against The Brewers

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is sitting out on Saturday against Brandon Woodruff and the Milwaukee Brewers. This is just a routine day off for the 27-year-old outfielder.

Denzel Mims On The Roster Bubble?

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims could be fighting for a spot on the roster during training camp.

However, Mims has reportedly had a solid offseason while remaining committed […]

Luis Arraez Getting A Day Off

Minnesota Twins infielder Luis Arraez is getting the day off on Saturday against the Texas Rangers. The 25-year-old is getting a well-deserved day of rest against left-hander Martin Perez.

Harris II went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI, and three runs scored. He now has seven homers on the season to go […]

C.J. Cron Not In The Starting Lineup Versus The D-Backs

Colorado Rockies first baseman/designated hitter C.J. Cron (wrist) is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Cron was plunked on the wrist by Zac Gallen during Friday's contest so that appears to be the reason for his absence on Saturday. X-rays did come back negative but he's likely dealing with some soreness. […]

Ryan Jeffers Homers During Three-Hit Day

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers has never been a particularly strong offensive player, but he was able to contribute on Friday against the Texas Rangers, going 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 6-5 loss.

Long-Term Extension Could Happen For Dalton Schultz

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz has a chance to receive a new deal before July 15, the deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign long-term contracts. Still, it's not a foregone conclusion that it will happen, although NFL Network's Mike Garafolo anticipates discussions between both sides to intensify. Schultz, who had 78 grabs for 808 […]
