[…]

Jabrill Peppers Limited Once Again

New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers (shoulder) remained as a limited participant during Tuesday's practice session. This is now back-to-back days that Peppers has been limited in practice.

Andrew McCutchen Gets A Breather

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The veteran slugger has started in six of the last seven contests.

Oneil Cruz Absent On Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz (ankle) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This comes as little surprise after Cruz was forced to exit early during Sunday's game due to an ankle issue. It's the same ankle that Cruz fractured last season, so the Pirates aren't taking […]

Mickey Moniak Considered Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (hand) was forced to exit late during Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. The left-handed outfielder left in the eighth inning after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. The team already had Moniak undergo further testing which revealed a hand contusion.

On Sunday, Garver went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run during the shutout victory over the Texas Rangers. The right-handed slugger has knocked in nine runs over his last three games. Possibly, this three-hit performance […]

George Kirby Looks Excellent On Sunday
