The Los Angeles Rams are leaving tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which means he is ineligible to be active during the first four games of the 2024 season. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise after Higbee tore his ACL and MCL in his right knee in […]

Oakland Athletics left-handed reliever Scott Alexander (shoulder) threw a bullpen session last Saturday and may face live hitters this week as he progresses from left rotator-cuff tendinitis that put him on the 15-day injured list last Tuesday.

Panthers Release Terrace Marshall Jr.

The Carolina Panthers released wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. on Tuesday, according to a source.

The Indianapolis Colts placed tight end Jelani Woods (toe) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday due to his recent toe surgery, according to a source.

Brenton Doyle May Need Another Few Days Off

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that outfielder Brenton Doyle (leg) may need another day or two off after he was a late scratch on Monday against the Miami Marlins due to leg soreness.
