The Cardinals are making some big roster moves before Tuesday’s series opener against the Royals. Yadier Molina is finally back with the team — and outfield prospect Randy Arozarena is joining the big league club for the first time. St. Louis will activate Molina from the 10-day injured list, the team announced, after the veteran catcher missed more than a month with a right thumb tendon strain. The Cardinals are also calling up their No. 12 prospect Arozarena, who was raking at Triple-A Memphis. Arozarena was hitting .368/.442/.562 with seven homers, eight stolen bases and a 1.004 OPS in 52 games at Memphis. In 80 Minor […]

The Raiders will be without starting right guard Gabe Jackson for approximately two months after he sustained a right knee injury Thursday during a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams. Coach Jon Gruden said following practice the Raiders were “really concerned” and although their worst fears weren’t realized — Jackson is not out for the season and will not need surgery — the five-year veteran doesn’t figure to return until October. A source said Jackson would be out eight weeks with an MCL strain “give or take a few” depending on how fast he heals. If Jackson is out […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars learned Tuesday that linebacker James Onwualu will be out for the season after he suffered a non-contact knee injury on Monday. Onwualu will miss the season leaving the team pretty thin at that position as the preseason begins on Thursday. Coach Doug Marrone called the injury that Onwualu suffered on Monday during joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens significant, but declined to elaborate on its exact nature. Onwualu was listed as the co-starter with Leon Jacobs at strongside linebacker on the team’s first unofficial depth chart. “It’s something that was a non-contact injury for the guys that have seen it and […]

This time it’s Aaron Hicks. An MRI taken Sunday revealed Hicks has a right flexor strain. The 29-year-old centerfielder will be shut down from throwing for the next 7-10 days. There is no exact timetable for his return. Flexor strains can be a precursor to Tommy John surgery — pitchers James Kaprielian and Jordan Montgomery are recent Yankee examples of this progression — but Yankees manager Aaron Boone believes that won’t be required in Hicks’ case. “We were fearing the worst,” Boone said. “The fact the ligament’s intact is a good thing.” Hicks, who missed the first 40 games of the 2019 […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers will promote Dustin May and have the right-hander make his MLB debut at Dodger Stadium on Friday against the San Diego Padres, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. The 2016 third-rounder is the second-ranked prospect in the Dodgers’ organization, per MLB.com. He is the No. 35 prospect in baseball. May has quickly worked his way through the minors since beginning his professional career in 2016. He has excelled at each level, earning at least one promotion per year over the last three seasons. The right-hander is 6-5 with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP in 20 starts between Double-A and Triple-A this season. Since being promoted […]
