Isan Diaz Traded To Giants

The San Francisco Giants have acquired second baseman Isan Diaz from the Marlins for cash considerations or a player to be named later.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini sat out Saturday's win over the Red Sox due to some rib soreness after he ran into the wall during Friday's contest.

Andre Iguodala Out On Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Andre Iguodala (neck) won't play during Game 1 of the playoff matchup against Memphis.
