Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said that "Justin could come back" in reference to veteran free-agent defensive end Justin Houston.

Max Fried Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a strained right hamstring.

Perhaps […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Out Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Bryan Mata (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Tuesday to repair a slight UCL tear in his elbow.

Kawhi Leonard Unlikely To Play Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) is unlikely to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Luke Kennard, Terance Mann, and Marcus Morris […]

Terry Rozier Probable Versus Cavs

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He sat out the first game of the back-to-back set, but it sounds like he's ready to get back on the court. His return could mean slightly less minutes for Devonte' Graham. Both Brad Wanamaker and Cody Martin […]

Christian Yelich To Miss Another Game Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) will be out for a third consecutive game Wednesday. Yelich is still experiencing tightness in his back, an ailment that forced him out of Sunday's game.

Jason Robertson Collects Two Points In Stars Loss

Dallas Stars winger Jason Robertson was able to compile a goal and an assist versus Florida on Tuesday. Dallas was unable to come up on top, losing to Florida 3-2 in overtime.

Brandon Crawford Slugs Third Homer Of Year

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford hit his third home run of the season on Tuesday, finishing 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in the win over Cincinnati.

Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin Ruled Out For Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forwards Kevin Durant (rest) and Blake Griffin (rest) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Justin Upton Won't Return Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (back) won't make his return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Royals.

Toronto Raptors guards Fred VanVleet (hip) and Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
