Free-agent running back Mike Gillislee will sign a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday after being cut by the Patriots on Saturday, according to a source.

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez will receive either a day or two off in the series in Atlanta against the Braves this week.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoStill No Baseball Activities For Eddie Rosario
Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps) still wasn't able to do baseball activities on Sunday. There remains no timetable for Rosario after he injured himself last Thursday.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChris Sale Could Return Next Weekend
