Keith Hernandez 7 years agoRavens Releasing Jeremy Maclin
The Baltimore Ravens are releasing wide receiver Jeremy Maclin on Wednesday, according to a source.

His release makes more sense after the team recently […]

Free-agent tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins plans to visit with the Seattle Seahawks.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoBrad Miller Out Another 4-5 Days
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brad Miller (toe) will miss another four to five days before he's able to play in a game, but his availability for Opening Day shouldn't be impacted, according to manager Kevin Cash.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoRobinson Cano Could Return To Games Next Week
Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano (hamstring) could return to spring games next week after suffering a left hamstring strain.
