Adolis Garcia Has Three-Hit Performance

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia has struggled during the second half of the season. His bat was on fire to start the year, but things have settled down for Garcia.

Nathaniel Lowe Smacks 16th Homer

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe has been a bright spot in what has been a lackluster lineup lately.

Jets Still Believe In Denzel Mims

New York Jets second-year wide receiver Denzel Mims has just one catch for 40 yards through two games, and he was a healthy scratch in the Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots. Because he doesn't play special teams, Mims must learn all the wideout positions if he wants to start on game day […]

T.J. Watt Downgraded To Out In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) has been downgraded from questionable to out in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Miles Sanders Should Be Good To Go

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (chest) was a full practice participant on Friday after being limited in practice on Thursday. Unless he suffers a setback, Sanders should be fine to serve as the team's lead back for the Monday night contest against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. The 24-year-old has carried the ball […]

Rafael Devers Hits Three-Run Homer Friday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers provided all the offense in a disappointing 8-3 loss to the New York Yankees Friday, going 1-for-4 with a three-run home run.

D'Andre Swift To Be More Involved In Passing Game?

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift already has 12 catches through two games, but he could get more involved through the air earlier in games.
