Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Jonah Williams reportedly bulked up during the offseason. Currently weighing in at around 315 pounds, a 10-pound increase from last season, the 23-year-old hopes the added bulk will make him better equipped to handle opposing defenders. With Joe Burrow and Joe Mixon both suffering season-ending injuries during the 2020-21 campaign, Cincy's […]

Bryan Barberena Unable To Get The Victory Saturday Night

Though Bryan Barberena outstruck Jason Witt statistically in Saturday's UFC fight, Witt was victorious, walking out with the majority decision.

Mike Gesicki Lands On COVID-19 List

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (illness) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Sunday. Gesicki, along with co-offensive coordinator George Godsey, tested positive for the Coronavirus.

Geoff Hartlieb Recalled From Syracuse

New York Mets relief pitcher Geoff Hartlieb was called up from Triple-A on Sunday. With the Metropolitans dealing with injuries throughout the rotation, the 27-year-old will provide some much-needed depth moving ahead.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Brian Goodwin played the role of hero in Sunday's victory versus the Cleveland Indians. Goodwin went 1-for-3 with two runs, one walk and a solo home run.

Didi Gregorius Stuffs The Stat Sheet Versus Pirates

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius went 3-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in a blowout win versus the Pirates on Sunday. The veteran shortstop needed a game like this as he reached base just once in his previous 16 plate appearances. Even after today's outburst, Gregorius is batting just .212 with a putrid […]

Aroldis Chapman Records 22nd Save
