Carlos Carrasco Exits Saturday’s Start With Thumb Injury

New York Mets pitcher Carlos Carrasco (thumb) was removed from Saturday's 5-3 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies early with a thumb issue. He hurt his thumb after fouling off a pitch during his second at-bat. The Mets right-hander was removed after 82 pitches. Carrasco allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking […]

Alex Bowman Delivers Top-Five at Bristol

Alex Bowman needed a result that did not seem as automatic as some believed. The No. 48 car did find a way to charge forward when it counted. Bowman was just 14th after Stage 1 and 15th after Stage 2. He made up quite a bit of time in the end as he ran out […]

Ryan Blaney Sneaks Into Fourth Place at Bristol

Ryan Blaney lurked around most of the night. The Team Penske car then led 45 laps, out of almost nowhere. In the end, he battled back to a fourth-place result on Saturday night as he was sandwiched between William Byron and Alex Bowman. Blaney holding off Bowman was an interesting subplot over the final laps […]

William Byron Surprises Many, Finishes Third at Bristol

William Byron had to feel like deja vu was coming once again. He was starting 14th and was out of the playoff Round of 12 coming into the night. Byron was only tenth after Stage 1 and briefly had fallen out of the top ten during Stage 2. It looked like time was not on […]

Kevin Harvick Rides Rough to Second at Bristol

Kevin Harvick raced like vintage Kevin Harvick. Yes, it ruffled some feathers like Chase Elliott's but the result was a second-place finish at Bristol on Saturday. It was only the slightly faster No. 5 car of Kyle Larson that kept Harvick's Stewart-Haas ride from victory. Harvick was sandwiched between two Hendricks Motorsports cars as William […]

Kyle Larson Does It Again at Bristol

Kyle Larson let every other NASCAR driver know who is the top favorite for this year's NASCAR playoff chase. It was not enough the No. 5 car was leading the playoff points race. Larson punctuated the first three races by winning the short-track Round of 16 finale at Bristol. He passed Kevin Harvick in a […]

Ty France Has Five-Game Hit Streak

Seattle Mariners infielder Ty France was the lone bright spot for the Seattle offense Saturday, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a run scored. This is the second straight game he's reached base three times, and he now has a modest five-game hit streak going. France has been Seattle's most consistent hitter, but […]

Yusei Kikuchi Lasts Just Three Innings

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi lasted just three innings Saturday, giving up three runs on eight hits and no walks with three strikeouts. He took the loss, dropping his record to 7-9. This was an inefficient outing for the left-hander, as Kikuchi threw 86 pitches in those three innings. With a 6.91 ERA over […]

Patrick Corbin Returns To Losing Ways Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin allowed six runs (five earned) on nine hits and three walks with five strikeouts in four innings against the Colorado Rockies Saturday. This resulted in his 15th loss of the year. Corbin had had success working with catcher Alex Avila over his previous two outings, each of which resulted […]

Brendan Rodgers Goes Deep Again On Saturday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored in a 6-0 win over the Nationals on Saturday. Rodgers put the Rockies on the board in the top of the first inning with a two-run blast off Patrick Corbin, his third home run in […]

Trevor Story Goes Deep In Saturday's Win

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in a 6-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday. Story swatted his 23rd home run of the season off Patrick Corbin in the fourth inning. It was a three-run shot and his only hit of the ball game. The 28-year-old shortstop is now […]

Kyle Freeland Shuts Down The Nationals

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland earned the win on Saturday when he allowed seven hits with one walk and seven strikeouts across six scoreless innings in a 6-0 win over the Nationals. Freeland was locked in for Saturday's tilt against the Nats. He scattered seven hits and only really ran into trouble in his […]

Marcus Semien Clubs 40th Homer

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Marcus Semien launched his 40th homer of the season on Saturday, helping his club defeat the Twins 6-2. His solo shot off Bailey Ober in the fourth got the scoring started for his club in what became a four-run frame, although it was his only hit of the contest as […]

Teoscar Hernandez Goes Yard In Win

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez smacked a three-run homer to propel his club past the Twins 6-2 in Saturday's afternoon contest. His towering shot in the fourth inning put the Jays ahead 4-2 at the time, and they never looked back as he finished the day going 1-for-4. The three-RBI game now gives him […]

Josiah Deguara Listed As Doubtful For MNF

Green Bay Packers tight end Josiah Deguara (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Monday Night Football against the Lions. The 24-year-old did not practice all week long and seems like a lock to be inactive. He played in 8.8 percent of offensive and 27.3 percent of special teams snaps last week. Assuming Deguara is held […]

Adam Wainwright Works Around Traffic In Another Quality Start

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright worked around some base runners to end up with another quality start. Pitching on Saturday against the San Diego Padres, Wainwright pitched six innings, allowing just two runs on seven hits. He did not issue a walk and struck out two. While it wasn't "Waino" at his best, […]

Ameer Abdullah Signed To Active Roster

Minnesota Vikings running back Ameer Abdullah was signed to the team's active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. He played 10.8 percent of offensive and 14.7 percent of special teams snaps in Week 1. He also logged three total touches for 19 yards. The 28-year-old will fill a third-string role behind Dalvin Cook […]

Edward Cabrera Gets Through Four Innings On Saturday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Edward Cabrera worked another short outing on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In Cabrera's four innings, he allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks, striking out seven. It was good to see the rookie righty rack up some strikeouts, but he needed 79 pitches (48 strikes) […]

Sean Mannion Jumps To Active Roster

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sean Mannion has been promoted to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. He was part of a similar transaction last week and ended up being active for the season opener. Rookie Kellen Mond was inactive, and the same is expected to be true in Week 2. Mannion, 29, […]

Trent Brown Ruled Out For Week 2

New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown (calf) has been downgraded to out for Week 2 against the Jets. He suffered the injury against the Dolphins last week. With Brown inactive, New England is expected to turn to lineman Yasir Durant, who was acquired from the Chiefs earlier this month. Durant played 23 snaps last […]

Laquon Treadwell Elevated To Active Roster

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laquon Treadwell was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. The 26-year-old spent training camp with the Jaguars but found himself on the practice squad to open the season. In 2020, he played in five games with the Falcons, catching six passes for 49 yards and […]

Damarea Crockett Elevated From Practice Squad

Denver Broncos running back Damarea Crockett was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. All three of the team's running backs are healthy so it remains to be seen what type of role he will have in Week 2. He did appear on the field for 63 percent of special […]

Sonny Gray Takes Eighth Loss On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray allowed three runs (two earned) over six innings of work in a 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. Gray struck out five and walked two in the outing. The Cincinnati offense has gone cold of late, which has left a smaller margin for error for the Reds […]

Sony Michel Could Remain An Afterthought

Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel could remain in a clear backup role for yet another week. "You have confidence that you can utilize him, if need be," explained head coach Sean McVay. "But Darrell Henderson, I thought, did a great job." This certainly does not sound like a vote of confidence in the […]

Joey Slye Rejoins Texans' Roster

Houston Texans kicker Joey Slye was promoted to the active roster again ahead of the team's Week 2 contest against the Browns. He was very impressive in Week 1, connecting on all three field-goal and all four extra-point attempts. All in all, he owns an 80.3 percent field goal rate and 90.7 percent extra point […]

Tee Higgins Looking To Replicate Week 1 Success

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had a strong showing in Week 1, finishing the win over the Minnesota Vikings with 58 yards and a touchdown off four catches. Although his scoring output was sidetracked by a trip to the locker room for an IV, it was still a successful performance overall. Higgins should continue […]

Ryan Yarbrough Yields Four Runs In Saturday’s Loss

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough (8-6) allowed four earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four over six innings during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He was tagged with his sixth loss of the season. The southpaw was hurt by the long ball and surrendered home runs to […]

Trey Ragas Promoted To Active Roster

Las Vegas Raiders running back Trey Ragas was promoted to the active roster on Saturday. He'll presumably fill the No. 3 role in the backfield with Josh Jacobs (toe, ankle) sidelined. Ahead of Ragas, Kenyan Drake and Peyton Barber will occupy lead roles on Sunday. Ragas, a rookie, joined Las Vegas as an undrafted free […]
