Kole Calhoun Removed From Rehab Appearance
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) was removed from Tuesday's contest at Triple-A Reno.

The 33-year-old was playing well before […]
Dennis Clausen 4 years agoIan Anderson Has Upside Against The Mets
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson will be on the bump against the Mets on Thursday.

In June, the righty played relatively well, sporting a 3.71 ERA while averaging over […]

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich didn't play well during Wednesday's win over the Cubs. The 29-year-old went hitless against Chicago, going 0-for-5 while striking out three times.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play in Game 6 against Phoenix. This isn't news, primarily since the veteran is rumored to be dealing with a significant right knee injury.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Richie Martin (wrist) is expected to start hitting by the middle of July.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is "going to play a huge role" this season, according to offensive coordinator Brian Callahan.
