He initially looked on track to play ahead of Week 1, […]

Alcides Escobar Swipes A Bag Against Atlanta

Washington Nationals shortstop Alcides Escobar stole his second base of the year Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. He also went 1-for-5 at the plate. Escobar doesn't add much offensively, but he's had a good last seven games, slashing .276/.333/.517 over that stretch. The best thing going for him is his spot in the lineup, batting […]

Free-agent cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick is working out for the Houston Texans on Friday, according to a source. The former Arizona Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals starter has also visited with the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots in the offseason. The Texans could use more cornerback depth after recently trading Bradley Roby. […]

Saquon Barkley Looks “Promising” Ahead Of Week 1

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) has looked promising during the past couple of days ahead of Week 1 against the Denver Broncos, according to head coach Joe Judge. Barkley is on track to play on Sunday, and it would "take a setback" for him to be held out of the lineup. The […]

Taylor Decker Looks Set To Miss Week 1

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) looks set to miss the regular season opener on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers after suffering a finger injury that kept him out of practice on Thursday.

Huascar Ynoa Gets No-Decision Against Nationals

On Thursday, he went five innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts in the 7-6 win over the Washington Nationals.

Nick Boyle Placed On Short-Term IR

Baltimore Ravens tight end Nick Boyle (knee) will go on short-term injured reserve, according to head coach John Harbaugh. This means Boyle will be held out of action for a minimum of three weeks and can return in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Boyle is more of a blocking tight end, so the Baltimore […]

Freddie Freeman Hits Clutch Homer On Thursday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman came alive with the bat during the second half of the season. The 31-year-old is slashing .292/.388/.504 with 105 runs scored, 29 home runs, 74 RBI this season. On Thursday, Freeman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run that tied the game in the eighth inning. The Braves were […]

Stephen Vogt Exits Due To Injury

Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt (hip) was unable to get through Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. It's a shame considering Vogt hit two home runs in the game. Sadly, the 36-year-old was pulled out due to his hip bothering him. Hopefully, Vogt is able to avoid the injured list. In the meantime, Travis d'Arnaud […]

Michael Gallup Leaves Thursday's Game With An Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (ankle) was forced to leave Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Bucs about half way through the second half due to a left ankle injury.

Jamison Crowder Out Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (COVID-19) will be held out of the season opener against the Carolina Panthers, according to head coach Robert Saleh. The absence of Crowder means that Corey Davis and rookie Elijah Moore could see an increase in targets as Zach Wilson has built a connection with the two of […]

Emmanuel Sanders Questionable For Week 1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (foot) is questionable for the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. If Sanders isn't able to suit up in Week 1, this potentially gives Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis more promising outlooks. Beasley and Davis could potentially be on the FLEX […]

Bryce Harper Belts 30th Homer Of Season On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in a loss to the Rockies on Thursday. Harper launched a first-inning homer off of Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela for his 30th round-tripper of the season.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Ian Kennedy allowed three runs in 2/3 of an inning to take the loss on Thursday versus Colorado.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez allowed one run across six innings with six strikeouts in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Thursday.

Latavius Murray Signs One-Year Deal With Baltimore

The Baltimore Ravens signed free agent running back Latavius Murray to a one-year deal on Friday. Baltimore's backfield is in shambles after the team lost J.K. Dobbins (knee), Gus Edwards (knee), and Justice Hill (knee) for the season. Murray was replaced by RB Tony Jones and later released by the New Orleans Saints after reportedly […]

Luke Voit Clubs Pinch-Hit Home Run

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit clubbed a pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning of Thursday's loss to Toronto. Voit was stuck in a 1-for-14 slump heading into the contest, so it was nice to see him deliver after manager Aaron Boone turned to him in a key situation. The slugger has taken a […]

Gary Sanchez Goes Yard In Thursday's Loss

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez slugged his 21st homer of the year in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays. Sanchez's blast traveled 382 feet at 102.6 MPH exit velocity.
