Nathan Eovaldi Allows Four Runs In Five Innings

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi was uneven against the Angels Sunday afternoon, allowing four runs in five innings on six hits and a walk while striking out six. All four runs came in the top of the second inning, and Eovaldi was able to settle down after that. He now has a 4.50 […]

Trae Young Probable Against Houston

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (toe) will likely play against the Rockets on Sunday. Young is currently dealing with soreness in his right big toe, and with the Knicks having already clinched the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference, he will likely see limited action if he plays. With other notables listed on the […]

Mitch Keller Pitches Well In Loss Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller put together a solid start on Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over five innings of work against the Giants.

Matt Barnes Blows His First Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes blew his first save of the year Sunday afternoon against the Angels. Barnes entered with two outs in the eighth inning to protect a one-run lead, and allowed a two-run home run to Shohei Ohtani in the top of the ninth. He also took the loss. Barnes has […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Questionable For The Season Finale

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Houston. With the postseason around the corner, the team may be playing with a skeleton crew as Clint Capela (Achilles), Danilo Gallinari (back), Kevin Huerter (ankle), and Trae Young (toe), among others, are all listed on the afternoon injury report. As a result, […]

Kevin Love Out Against Brooklyn

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) won't play against Brooklyn. The veteran will miss the final game of the regular season due to a right calf strain. With rumblings of a buyout or a potential trade during the upcoming offseason, Love has likely already played his final game in Cleveland. Look for Dean Wade, who […]

Kyle Hendricks Gets Victory On Sunday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks bounced back in a big way in Sunday's victory versus the Detroit Tigers.

Darius Garland To Miss Final Game Of The Season

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) will not play on Sunday evening against the Brooklyn Nets. The 21-year-old is listed as out for injury management purposes; however, his absence is more likely related to the team looking toward next season. In his stead, Isaac Okoro, who had 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists against […]

Ian Happ Has Big Game In Victory

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ had himself a day in Sunday's victory versus the Detroit Tigers. It was Happ's second game since returning from the injured list with bruised ribs and he made sure to make it an impressive one. The outfielder went 3-for-4 with a single, double and two-run home run in the Cubs […]

Joe Harris Out On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Joe Harris (glute) will miss Sunday's matchup against the Cavaliers.
