Trent Grisham Lands On Injured List

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham (heel) is expected to land on the injured list before Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Friars center fielder missed the final two contests over the weekend with a heel bruise and it's lingered long enough to merit an IL stint. Utilityman Jurickson Profar will start in center […]

James McCann Playing First Base On Monday

New York Mets catcher James McCann is batting third and playing first base on Monday when the Mets face the Rockies at home. McCann's appearance at first base will be the first of his professional career. It is a peculiar decision, considering the best defensive first baseman on the roster, Dominic Smith, is playing left […]

Bryce Harper Out Of Lineup Again On Monday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (shoulder) is not in the lineup Monday against Trevor Rogers and the Marlins. Brad Miller will get another start in right field after he hit a three-run homer in Sunday's contest.

J.D. Davis To Play A Few More Rehab Games At Triple-A

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder J.D. Davis (hand), currently on the 10-day injured list, is expected to play a few more games with Triple-A Syracuse before returning to the team.

Jed Lowrie Is Ice-Cold In May

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie started the 2021 season with a bang, but the veteran infielder has slowed down considerably in recent weeks. Lowrie is batting just .182 since May 4 and has just three runs and four RBI in that span. Strikeouts are the primary reason for his struggles as his strikeout rate […]

Chris Rodriguez Throws Bullpen Session

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Chris Rodriguez (shoulder), who has been out since May 5 with right shoulder inflammation, threw a bullpen session on Saturday. Rodriguez also threw a bullpen last Tuesday and is nearing a return from the injured list. The 22-year-old right-hander made his major league debut earlier this year and was pitching […]

Matt Thaiss Increasing His Versatility

Los Angeles Angels corner infielder Matt Thaiss, who was originally drafted as a catcher in 2016, has been working to increase his versatility and has been catching again at Triple-A Salt Lake. Thaiss was converted to first base after being drafted, but he's also seen action at third base, second base and in the outfield. […]

Shohei Ohtani Comes Up Clutch In Pinch-Hit Appearance

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani had a game-tying, pinch-hit sacrifice fly in the seventh inning of the 6-5 win over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday and stayed in the game in right field for the final two innings.

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Report To OTAs

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was not among the group of players that reported on Monday for the start of organized team activities. Rodgers has been a regular participant in the team's offseason program and OTAs throughout his career, until now. It doesn't come as a surprise, though, as he's reportedly not happy with […]

Julio Jones Requested A Trade

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones requested a trade from the organization a few months ago, according to sources. The Falcons agreed to listen to offers and will continue to listen to offers.

Chase Edmonds Ready To Be The Starter

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury feels that running back Chase Edmonds can be an every-down back in the NFL, and Edmonds will enter training camp this summer as the team's No. 1 back after they let Kenyan Drake walk in free agency and didn't spend a single draft pick at the position. The 25-year-old […]

A.J. Puk Gets Hammered In Rehab Game

Oakland Athletics pitching prospect A.J. Puk (biceps) lasted just two-thirds of an inning in a rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas. Puk served up a home run that was one of four hits allowed by the left-hander, who is trying to work his way back from his latest arm injury. Puk is the No. 2 […]

Christian Yelich Starting To Find It At The Plate

Milwaukee Brewers star outfielder Christian Yelich went 2-for-4 with a home run, an additional RBI, an additional run scored, and a walk in Sunday's win over the Reds. Yelich ended a four-game hitless streak with his fifth multi-hit game of the season, but the most important thing is the fact that he went deep for […]

Freddy Peralta Continues The Strikeout Barrage In No-Decision

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta didn't factor into the decision after giving up two runs on three hits and four walks while fanning seven across 4 2/3 innings against the Reds. Peralta showed swing-and-miss stuff once again -- he's fanned at least seven in nine straight appearances and owns what would be a career-best […]

The New England Patriots have had internal discussions about trading for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones. Trade talks for Jones could intensify as June 2 approaches.

A.J. Allmendinger Not So Surprisingly Ends Up Fifth At Austin

A.J. Allmendinger was able to easily negotiate the on and off rain all afternoon at the Circuit Of The Americas. His car was certainly not the fastest but he appeared to be the most in control on the 3.41-mile-long track. The result was fifth place for the No. 16 Chevy. He did not lead any […]

Ross Chastain was all over the track on Sunday at the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix but wow did it look like one wild ride. The No. 42 led four laps in between pit windows and used every inch of the course in getting there. Again, he was someone that could have even contended for the […]
