Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (hand) denied reports that he is injured. "I'm fine," reported Paul, who suffered a right-hand injury during the Western Conference Finals.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha (hip) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday and is in left field and hitting leadoff against Cleveland Indians right-hander Cal Quantrill.

Kawhi Leonard Still Drawing Interest From Teams

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is reportedly on the radar for many teams ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

Josh Fleming Starting On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Josh Fleming will get the start on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves. It will be Fleming's seventh start of the season this year in 15 appearances.

Damian Lillard Denies Trade Request Rumors

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard has denied reports that he will seek a trade sometime within the next few days.

Brandon Crawford Cramped Up Friday Night

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler said that shortstop Brandon Crawford (hamstring) suffered a left hamstring cramp in Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (blister) is scheduled to start on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Coors Field.
