San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (foot) underwent an MRI exam on his right foot, which has been bothering him in summer camp.

EPL Betting Picks (7/11/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

The midweek slate was a mixed bag. Denied by the woodwork and controversial officiating on Tuesday. On Thursday, two of our picks drew. And Wednesday, I'm still salty about.

Chiefs Re-Sign Matt Moore

The Kansas City Chiefs agreed to a one-year deal to re-sign backup quarterback Matt Moore on Friday, according to a source.

Nick Burdi Looks Amazing

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Nick Burdi was impressive in spring training earlier this year and has picked up where he left off in summer camp workouts. “He looks amazing,” starting pitcher Jameson Taillon said. “No matter how many injuries this dude’s had, he still throws 100 mph. His slider’s still disgusting.” Burdi had Tommy John […]

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry is eager to begin working with his new quarterback. Cam Newton and Harry were seen working out together for roughly two hours.

One Year Away: Players to Stash in Dynasty for Next Season

The 2020 NFL season is going to be a weird one because of COVID-19. With fewer offseason activities and fewer preseason games, teams will rely on veteran talent more than usual, pushing young players down the depth charts.

Eli White Sidelined With Oblique Tightness

Texas Rangers outfielder Eli White (oblique) has been sidelined with left oblique tightness in summer camp and is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam.
