R.J. Hampton […]

Jalen Suggs Ruled Out For Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's dealing with a right ankle bone bruise, so he'll at least sit out this game. R.J.

Boston Scott Non-Tendered By Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles aren't tendering restricted free-agent Boston Scott, according to a league source.

LeBron James Questionable For Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Rockies To Consider Ryan Rolison For Bullpen Role

The Colorado Rockies will consider using left-hander Ryan Rolison, their top pitching prospect, as a long-relief option in their bullpen to start the 2022 season. Rolison would be making his major league debut. Chad Kuhl, who the Rockies signed on Monday, is in line for the fifth spot in the starting rotation. Rolison was the […]

Padres Enter Bidding War For Freddie Freeman

The San Diego Padres, who had the second-largest payroll in baseball last year, have jumped into the bidding war for free-agent All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman, according to a person with direct knowledge of the talks.

Connor Murphy Out Tuesday Night

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy (concussion) won't be in the lineup against Boston on Tuesday. He left Saturday's 6-3 win over Ottawa on a stretcher and has entered concussion protocols.

Devin Williams Working On A New Pitch

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams is working on a slider/cutter for the 2022 season.

Ben Chiarot Scratched For Tuesday

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Ben Chiarot will be a healthy scratch for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

He's a big force in the defensive end, […]

Mike Montgomery Signs With Mets

Free-agent left-hander Mike Montgomery signed a minor league deal with the New York Mets on Tuesday, pending a physical, according to a source.

Cesar Hernandez Could Bat Leadoff

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said he'd love for second baseman Cesar Hernandez to be his leadoff hitter this season.

Hernandez has gotten on base […]
