Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (knee) is available for Friday's Game 4 against the Boston Celtics. He was available for Game 3, but only ended up playing two minutes. The veteran forward continues to deal with right knee inflammation, so possibly that was why he only saw two minutes. Regardless, it's unlikely that Iguodala […]

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is officially available for Friday's Game 4 against the Golden State Warriors. He mentioned that he's feeling good after logging in 26 minutes during Wednesday's contest. It sounds like Williams plans to play through the left knee soreness.

Texas Rangers catcher/designated hitter Mitch Garver and starting pitcher Glenn Otto were both placed on the COVID-19-related injured list on Friday.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday with right shoulder inflammation.

Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Royce Lewis (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2022 season with a partially torn ACL. Lewis is expected to miss up to 12 months. The 23-year-old originally went to the injured list on May 30 with what was called a bone bruise in his right knee, but clearly it was […]

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (elbow) will require Tommy John surgery, according to manager A.J. Hinch.

The New England Patriots signed free-agent kicker Tristan Vizcaino to an undisclosed deal on Friday and released kicker Quinn Nordin in a corresponding move. Vizcaino will join the team after working out with the Patriots during minicamp practices this week. He'll replace Nordin as the backup to veteran Nick Folk, who was one of the […]

The 42-year-old Brazilian legend Glover Teixeira (33-7) is set to defend his UFC light-heavyweight title for the first time in the main event at UFC 275 on Saturday against a very dangerous striker in Jiri Prochazka.

Since losing her UFC debut in February of 2019, Taila Santos (19-1) has won four fights in a row, finding herself in the co-main event of UFC 275 on Saturday contending for the women's flyweight championship against Valentina Shevchenko. With three of those four wins coming by decision, her last victory was a first-round submission […]

Kolten Wong Still Sidelined

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (calf) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Washington Nationals. Wong will miss his third straight game due to right calf pain.

Edward Olivares Begins Rehab Assignment Friday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Edward Olivares (quadriceps), who has been on the injured list since May 9 with a right quadriceps strain, will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Friday. Olivares will likely need a pretty lengthy rehab assignment considering how much time he's missed, so he probably won't return to […]

Yadier Molina Sitting Again Friday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds. Molina will actually be out for the third straight game, and his slash line on the season is now down to .226/.238/.315 with two home runs, 10 RBI, nine runs scored and one stolen base in 124 […]

White Sox Option Gavin Sheets

The Chicago White Sox optioned infielder/outfielder Gavin Sheets to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday and recalled right-hander Jimmy Lambert from Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk Returns To Action After Two-Year Layoff

It is not often an unranked fighter gets a shot at the second-ranked fighter, but Joanna Jedrzejczyk (16-4) will get that opportunity when she rematches Weili Zhang on the main card of UFC 275 on Saturday night. It has been over two years since we have seen Jedrzejczyk in the Octagon. In their first matchup […]

Christian Walker Starting Against Phillies

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (head) is back at first base and is hitting cleanup on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Kyle Gibson.
