Luguentz Dort Unsurprisingly Out Against Clippers

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee, rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ty Jerome (calf) will be available for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Trevor Larnach Collects Three Hits Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach went 3-for-5 with a run scored in a 7-6 loss to the Athletics. Larnach did strike out twice but rapped a trio of singles for the first multi-hit game of his career. The 24-year-old is now 5-for-20 since being called up from the minors.

He's […]

Running into her toughest task to date, Viviane Araujo (10-3) was unable to score the much-needed victory over top-ranked contender Katlyn Chookagian on UFC 262's main card on Saturday.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Out At Least One Week

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is going to be sidelined at least one week, but could miss around 10 days. He has torn ligament and avulsion fracture in his left wrist, so the organization will wait roughly a week before they re-evaluate him. It's uncertain when Oubre will get back on the […]

Khris Middleton Ruled Out Against Bulls

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It appears the Bucks will play it safe here in their final game of the regular season. Middleton is the only player on the Bucks injury report, so they might use a committee approach to fill the void. […]

Dylan Floro Earns His Sixth Hold On Sunday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro pitched well again on Sunday in a 3-2 win over his former team, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Floro has earned an eighth inning role this season with a 0.96 ERA and six holds and may be the best reliever on the Marlins roster this season. On Sunday, he did […]

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) returned from the injured list for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Manager Rocco […]

Khyri Thomas Avoids Major Injury

Houston Rockets forward Khyri Thomas (Achilles) has avoided any major issues, according to head coach Stephen Silas.

His performance over the last few weeks should […]

Anthony Bass Pitching Well Since A Terrible Start

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bass started off the season as the team's closer but was quickly removed from the role after a horrendous start.

Adam Duvall Does It All In The Fifth Inning

Miami Marlins outfielder Adam Duvall had an excellent fifth inning in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
