Alex Reyes Takes His Sixth Loss On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Alex Reyes had another blowup outing on Wednesday, blowing the save and taking his sixth loss of the season.

D’Andre Swift Expected To Practice Thursday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is expected to return to practice on Thursday.

Jack Flaherty Pitches Well Again On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty pitched well again on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers, picking up a quality start.

James Robinson Making Moves Toward Starting Job

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson appears to have a firm grasp on the starting gig, at least for now. After a prolific rookie campaign, Robinson's stock was higher than ever, but after the team selected Travis Etienne Jr. in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, it appeared as if he might lose […]

Jesus Luzardo Struggles Again On Wednesday Night

Miami Marlin starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo struggled again in Wednesday's start against the Atlanta Braves. Luzardo went just three innings, allowing four runs on four hits and five walks, striking out four. The lefty threw 74 pitches, only 42 strikes. He clearly has excellent stuff, but if he can't throw strikes, it won't matter. Luzardo […]

Carson Wentz Anxious To Return Sooner

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) is anxious to return to the field. According to head coach Frank Reich, the oft-injured signal-caller is getting "very antsy" to pick up the pace during his rehab efforts.

Robby Anderson Doesn’t Practice On Wednesday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday. According to head coach Matt Rhule, Anderson is dealing with a hamstring issue, although he didn't reveal much more about the situation.

Jordan Love Throws On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) remains in danger of missing Saturday's preseason matchup against the Jets. The 22-year-old took a hit to the shoulder during the team's last exhibition against the Houston Texans, forcing him to exit before the end of the fire first half. He was throwing on Wednesday, which is good […]

J.P. Feyereisen, Ryan Thompson Set For Rehab Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays pitchers J.P. Feyereisen (shoulder) and Ryan Thompson (shoulder) are slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham.

Feyereisen has been sidelined since July […]

Pete Fairbanks Will Throw Bullpen Session Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Pete Fairbanks (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session on Thursday in Port Charlotte. Barring any setbacks, he could head to Triple-A soon.

Julio Urias Throws Simulated Game, Could Be Activated Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias (calf) threw a simulated game on Wednesday. All reportedly went well with his simulated game, and Urias could be activated from the 10-day injured list next Tuesday. The southpaw has been terrific in 2021, owning a (13-3) record along with a 3.29 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 149 strikeouts across […]

Jose Berrios Logs No-Decision Versus Nationals

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios gave up three runs (two earned) over five innings versus the Nationals on Wednesday during the club's 8-5 loss. All the damage against him came in the first inning after Juan Soto took him deep for a three-run shot before he could even record an out, but he […]

Marcus Semien Homers Twice In Loss

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Marcus Semien swatted a pair of solo homers on Wednesday as his club fell to the Nationals 8-5. He finished the afternoon going 2-for-5 in his third game back in his familiar leadoff spot where he's now hit three homers in that span. Semien is hitting .270 on the season […]

Corey Dickerson Hits Fourth Dinger

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Corey Dickerson swatted his fourth home run of the season on Wednesday as his club fell to the Nationals 8-5. He didn't get the start in the contest, but he managed to make good on one of his two at-bats in the ballgame after entering in the sixth on a double […]

Anthony DeSclafani Scheduled For MRI Thursday

San Francisco Giants pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Thursday. He exited his start on Wednesday against the New York Mets due to right ankle discomfort. The 31-year-old allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one across 1 1/3 innings before exiting. He reportedly was moving around pretty good after […]

Jason Day Needs Help To Reach BMW Championship

It is not out of the realm of possibilities that Jason Day can maneuver his way into the second week of the FedExCup playoffs, but his starting position of 110th will not make it an easy proposition. The Aussie enters the week having missed four of his last seven cuts, but two top-15 finishes during […]

Danny Duffy To Be Used As A Multi-Inning Reliever

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Danny Duffy (forearm) will be used as a multi-inning reliever once activated from the 60-day injured list, per manager Dave Roberts. He won't be eligible to return until September 15. The southpaw has been sidelined since mid-July with a left flexor strain. Duffy has been effective as both a starter and […]

Brooks Koepka Goes Hunting For FedExCup Title

Starting the week in 15th place for the FedExCup standings, Brooks Koepka will need to put the pedal to the metal if he wants to get himself in a realistic position to capture the season-long title. Koepka, who is known for his big-game hunting skills, should be a good course fit for Liberty National - […]

Akil Baddoo, Derek Hill Set For Rehab Assignment Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

Chase Sherman Looking For First Win Of 2021

After a stint in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, heavyweight Chase Sherman (15-7) returned to the UFC for a second stint and looked great in his return bout, earning a second-round TKO. His last outing was not great, though, as he took a unanimous-decision loss in April. It shouldn't be a surprise that Sherman is […]

Updating an earlier report, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (elbow) had X-rays of his elbow come back negative after he exited Wednesday's game following a hit by pitch, according to Justin Toscano of NorthJersey.com.

Kevin Na Looks To Stay Hot At Liberty National

Kevin Na has two T2 finishes in his last three starts. The first of the two came at the John Deere Classic, the second came last weekend at the Wyndham Championship. A reason for the success, in both events, Na hit over 68% of greens. For the season, Na has hit 64% of greens, so […]

Saidyokub Kakhramonov Set To Debut
