Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (paternity) is set to take the mound on Friday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Kenta Maeda Pushed Back Until Saturday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda will have his start pushed back a few days. The veteran righty will take the ball against the New York Yankees on Saturday instead of pitching Thursday.

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (quad) is hopeful to return to practice at some point next week. He is currently listed as day-to-day after suffering a quad injury during practice last week.

Myles Gaskin Could Be Stuck In Three-Back Committee

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin could have trouble finding the same success that he did in 2020. Last season, Gaskin seemingly came out of nowhere and ran away with the lead back job.
