Miguel Rojas Has A Fractured Finger

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (finger) has a fractured finger and will clearly be out longer than just the 10 days required by his injured list stint.

Justin Upton Struggling Away From Angel Stadium

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton may continue to see at-bats from the leadoff spot heading into the team's matchup with the Giants on Tuesday.

Tim Tebow Could Be Used In Taysom Hill Role

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tim Tebow could be used as more than a traditional tight end, similar to how the New Orleans Saints previously used Taysom Hill.
