Minnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano has had a rough time at the plate this year, slashing just .198/.278/.426 over 72 games. He has just one home run over his last 51 at-bats. However, with Alex Kirilloff (wrist) undergoing surgery and likely to miss the rest of the season, Sano should find himself with an […]

Broncos Think Javonte Williams Is Special

The Denver Broncos were ecstatic when they traded up five spots on April 30 to take running back Javonte Williams in the second round this year. Williams was identified as the draft's top running back after he averaged 7.3 yards per carry in 2020 for North Carolina. "We just think he's a special back," general […]

Giancarlo Stanton Could Play Outfield This Weekend

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton hasn't played in the outfield in a regular season game since September 28, 2019. However, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, there is a "good chance" Stanton plays in the outfield during this weekend's series against the Boston Red Sox. Stanton would of course still need to string […]

Jake Rogers Likely Out Until September

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (forearm) was placed on the injured list this past Monday due to a right forearm strain. It was originally estimated that he would miss two or three weeks, but now it sounds like the injury will keep him out longer. The team is going to shut him down for 2-4 […]

San Francisco Giants second/third baseman made his one hit count in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers, going 1-for-4 with a two-run, go-ahead home run.

Dallas Goedert Likely Back To Sharing His Position

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was flying up draft boards all offseason with the news that Zach Ertz would be playing elsewhere in 2022. While the Eagles did allow Ertz to explore trade options, it seems no team was willing to take on the $8.5 million owed to the 30-year-old who just came off […]

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris allowed three runs in one inning at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday.

Vitek Vanecek In Line For Big Role With Kraken

The Seattle Kraken selected goaltender Vitek Vanecek from the Washington Capitals in the Expansion Draft on Wednesday night. The 25-year-old is coming off a very respectable rookie campaign in D.C. in 2020-2021 - posting a 21-10-4 record to go along with a 2.69 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage in 36 appearances. Vanecek will […]

Spencer Howard Spins Three Good Innings At Yankees

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Spencer Howard threw three shutout innings in a start at the Yankees on Wednesday. Howard allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two.

Forward Jared McCann will be joining the Seattle Kraken in its debut season in 2021-2022 as the franchise selected him from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night.

Carey Price To Remain In Montreal Following Expansion Draft

The Seattle Kraken chose to pass on goaltender Carey Price in Wednesday's expansion draft. The 33-year-old netminder's decision to volunteer to be exposed so his team could instead protect fellow goaltender Jake Allen was arguably one of the biggest topics of discussion over the past few days. Price had a mediocre regular season in 2020-2021 […]

Ranger Suarez Tagged With Loss Versus Yankees

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Ranger Suarez was the tough-luck loser on Wednesday at the Yankees, as he allowed an unearned run to score in the 10th inning.
