Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (hand) will be in Tuesday's lineup versus the Cleveland Indians.

Heyward is hitting […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts will try and get his season jump-started beginning Tuesday against the Mariners.

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey is taking a seat on the bench for the second game of the series against the Rangers on Tuesday.

Adolis Garcia Gets Day Off Tuesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Falcons Extremely Confident In Matt Ryan

Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks coach Charles London has been a staunch supporter of quarterback Matt Ryan since he joined the team.

He could still do […]

Jon Rahm heads to this week's AT&T Byron Nelson in an unfamiliar position, as he'll look to rebound from a missed cut in last week's Wells Fargo Championship.
