The Rays were looking to extend their winning run against AL teams but completing a sweep of the Guardians, but to get there, they’d need to battle it out with Mother Nature first.

Go get ‘em, Jamo.

The Arizona Cardinals had seven draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft and then followed it up with seven undrafted free agents. Over the next couple of days we will take a look at each of undrafted free agents to get to know them a bit, but also so they get their shine as well. […]

So we have an afternoon game. Game three of Three with the Red Sox. Then the Jays fly off to Minnesota to play the Twins for four games. George Springer is back, but not in the lineup. That seems strange to me. Why put him on the roster if he isn’t going to play? Jays, […]
The Dodgers look to sweep the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. Tyler Glasnow goes against Sandy Alcantara. WEDNESDAY GAME INFO
George Springer is back from the IL and Eloy Jiménez has been DFAed to make room. Jiménez was hitting .290/.343/.290 in 35 PA with no extra base hits.
