Kyle Zimmer Activated From Injured List

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Kyle Zimmer (neck) has been activated from the 10-day injured list, the team announced on Monday. Zimmer was placed on the IL earlier this month with neck spasms. Injuries have hampered the 29-year-old right-hander's season and he will surely be looking to rebound from a ghastly July that left him […]

Alex Bregman To Be Evaluated On Tuesday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (hamstring, quadriceps) is expected to be evaluated by the team on Tuesday, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reported on Monday.

The 24-year-old shortstop […]

Maeda exited his most recent start against the Yankees on Saturday with the issue, which will result in his second stint on the injured list this season. The veteran right-hander had appeared to turn things around after […]

Trevin Jones Unable To Make Adjustments

A last-minute change of opponent proved to be a difficult task to overcome for Trevin Jones on Saturday, leading to Jones suffering a third-round submission defeat on the main card. In his bout with Saidyokub Kakhramonov, which lasted 14:21, Jones was only able to land 12 significant strikes (70 total strikes), but he absorbed a […]

Trevor Lawrence To See More Action Against Saints

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence projects to play more in the team's second preseason game on Monday night than he did in his preseason debut. Per SI's John Shipley, "the expectation is that Lawrence will start against the Saints and play more than he did a week ago... Lawrence played just two drives then, […]

Mike Foltynewicz Lands On COVID-19 List

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. It's unknown whether or not he tested positive, but regardless it appears Foltynewicz is going to miss some time. That being said, youngster Spencer Howard should start on Wednesday with righty Dane Dunning going on Thursday. Neither of those pitchers are […]

Mike Ford Claimed By Nationals

The Washington Nationals have claimed first baseman Mike Ford off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. The lefty hitting infielder was traded to the Rays earlier in the season, but started the season with the New York Yankees. Hopefully, the 29-year-old will actually get a chance to play on the rebuilding Nats roster. […]

Luke Weaver Has Rehab Assignment Stopped

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Luke Weaver (shoulder) had his rehab assignment put on pause due to close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. It doesn't sound like Weaver tested positive, but the organization is being safe. The right-hander will not pitch until he clears all needed protocols. Weaver has been sidelined since mid-May […]

Tim Anderson Miss Third Game In A Row

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (leg) will miss his third game in a row on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The organization claims that Anderson is dealing with general leg soreness. Possibly, the White Sox just want to be cautious with their slugging shortstop down the stretch of the season. Nonetheless, Danny Mendick […]

Zack Britton Could Miss Significant Time

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive July 20. Britton is dealing with a left elbow sprain, so he could be out for longer than 10 days. In fact, Britton missed the first two and a half months of the season after having surgery on […]

George Springer Increasing Baseball Activities

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) did some running and also is scheduled to take batting practice ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The fact Springer was able to run is a good sign moving forward. He has been sidelined roughly a week while dealing with a Grade 1 left knee […]

Gregory Polanco Starting On Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco was placed on outright waivers on Sunday. Despite that, he'll be starting in right field versus righty Will Crowe and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. It's unlikely that any team claims Polanco since he's hitting .199 with 11 home runs and 34 RBI this season. Regardless, a chance of scenery […]

Michael Badgley, Tristan Vizcaino Competing For Kicking Job

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Michael Badgley has been competing with Tristan Vizcaino to see who will get the starting job. Badgley took advantage of the opportunity against the 49ers.

Curtis Samuel Still Not A Full Participant

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) was not in pads for practice on Monday as he worked off to the sidelines with team trainers. Head coach Ron Rivera has said that the team will ease Samuel back in, but at this point, it seems a bit concerning for his rapport with quarterback Ryan […]

Dyami Brown Misses Practice

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown (undisclosed) was not spotted at practice on Monday. The rookie has been impressive so far throughout the preseason, so his role in the offense is likely secured even if he were to miss a bit of time. Through two preseason games, Brown has four catches for 49 yards […]

Temarrick Hemingway, Sammis Reyes Practicing Monday

Washington Football Team tight ends Temarrick Hemingway (concussion) and Sammis Reyes (concussion) were back at practice Monday. The two are battling with rookie John Bates, Ricky Seals-Jones, and Caleb Wilson for the No. 2 role behind Logan Thomas, so it is important they are able to suit up in the team's final preseason game on […]

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton will be out for five days due to COVID-19 protocols after what the team called a "misunderstanding" about tests conducted away from the facility.
