McBride (hamstring) signed a four-year contract with the Vikings on Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports. Alec Lewis of The Athletic notes that the 2022 seventh-round pick, who wasn't able to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine or at UAB's pro day due to a hamstring injury, was spotted at Tuesday practice. Now that he's presumably past the health concern, McBride will look to cement a depth role in a Minnesota backfield that currently includes Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, Ty Chandler and Kene Nwangwu. That said, Cook's future with the team is unclear and if the Vikings part ways with him, McBride's chances of landing a Week 1 roster spot would improve.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The new-era Green Bay Packers offense had the ball at the 29-yard line with 24 seconds left in their simulated two-minute drill Tuesday during organized team activities when Jordan Love made the sort of mistake Jordan Love can't make. Rolling right with no timeouts, he...

Patrick Queen isn't sure what his future is with the Baltimore Ravens -- and that's fine with him. The Ravens declined the fifth-year option for Queen this offseason, leaving the former first-round pick without a contract after this year. That's just fine with Queen. His future in Baltimore isn't a...

Philadelphia, PA

PHILADELPHIA -- Nicholas Morrow and Sean Desai are both in their first season with the Philadelphia Eagles, meaning growing pains are to be expected in a new defense. While the philosophy is similar to Jonathan Gannon's defense, Desai is looking to eliminate the growing pains that come with learning new terminology.

Eagles' Nicholas Morrow says Sean Desai's new defense is the most he's 'learned situationally' in his career

The smoke from more than 400 wildfires in Canada have led to an Air Quality Health Advisory in New York City. With the sky looking like something out a science fiction movie, the potential postponement of certain sporting events has been on everyone's mind. The 155th edition of the Belmont...

Las Vegas, NV

Karlsson missed Wednesday's practice because of an illness, according to Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Karlsson is still probable for Game 3 on Thursday. It would be a big loss for Vegas if he isn't able to play, especially given that he's provided 10 goals and 15 points in 19 playoff contests this year. If Karlsson isn't available Thursday, then Teddy Blueger might draw into the lineup for the first time since May 25.

Denver, CO

Another night, another record-setting performance for Nikola Jokic. This time, in the NBA Finals. With 32 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists in the Denver Nuggets' 109-94 win over the Miami Heat in Game 3 on Wednesday night, Jokic became the first player in NBA history to have a 30-point, 20-rebound, 10-assist game in the Finals.

Seattle, WA

Munoz (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday. As expected, the Mariners returned Munoz from the 15-day IL on Tuesday, clearing him to return to the big-league bullpen for the first time since April 9. The right-hander has appeared in four games with Seattle this season, tossing 3.1 scoreless frames, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out three batters. The 24-year-old flamethrower will likely step right into a prominent high-leverage role in Seattle's bullpen, though veteran Paul Sewald could have a strong hold on the ninth inning for the time being. Regardless of where he slots in, Munoz figures to be a strong fantasy asset coming off of a 2022 campaign where he produced a 2.49 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with a 13.3 K/9 and 22 holds over 65 frames in 64 appearances.

Taylor Swift confuses young fan by inviting her up on stage from the audience then reversing this as she realized there was no safe way to get the child back off the stage. In a recent concert stop in Chicago on her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift found herself in a heartwarming yet challenging situation during her performance. While Swift is known for her fan engagement and surprise on-stage moments, this particular encounter took an unexpected turn. As she performed her hit song "22," Swift spotted a young fan and attempted to involve her in the show, only to realize there was no safe way to get the child back off the stage.

Saint Louis, MO

Gorman is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. With left-hander Martin Perez taking the ball for the Rangers, Gorman will receive a day of rest. Brendan Donovan is at second base and Luken Baker is in the designated hitter spot.

Suarez (elbow) is scheduled to throw a full bullpen session Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. Suarez has already thrown off the mound a couple of times, but the catcher was positioned in front of the plate during those workouts. He's now ready to take things to the next level in his ongoing recovery from lingering stiffness and inflammation in his right elbow. Re-signed to a five-year, $46 million contract this offseason, the 32-year-old setup man could finally be a contributor for the Padres around the end of June.

Padres' Robert Suarez: Set for full bullpen session

Patrick (toe) has been practicing during OTAs, Gene Chamberlain of SI.com reports. Patrick signed a two-year deal with Chicago last offseason but ended the 2022 campaign on injured reserve after undergoing surgery in November. The veteran offensive lineman should be good to go for the start of 2023 and will likely serve as the backup center behind Cody Whitehair.

Phoenix, AZ

McCarthy went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 10-5 win over Washington. McCarthy has multiple steals in two straight games and has stolen 10 bags in 10 games since being recalled from Triple-A Reno. The outfielder is getting on base with regularity since rejoining the parent club, which could mean a full season's worth of steals. McCarthy had 23 stolen bases over 99 games in 2022.

Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Running wild

Cincinnati, OH

Legumina (ankle) is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Louisville. Legumina is recovered from the right ankle contusion that sent him to the injured list in mid-May and could be an option again for the Reds' bullpen by the weekend. He had pitched to a 4.35 ERA with nine strikeouts in 10.1 innings of relief for Cincinnati prior to the IL stint.

Reds' Casey Legumina: Cleared for rehab assignment

Gurriel is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals. Gurriel was also held out of Sunday's series finale versus Atlanta, but there's no word of anything wrong with him physically. Corbin Carroll, Jake McCarthy and Pavin Smith will canvass the Diamondbacks' outfield Tuesday and Emmanuel Rivera will take a turn as the designated hitter.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Out of lineup Tuesday

Houston, TX

Pena is absent from the lineup Wednesday at Toronto. Mauricio Dubon will start at shortstop and bat leadoff versus the Blue Jays and right-hander Chris Bassitt. Pena struck out in all four of his plate appearances Tuesday as the Astros fell 5-1 to the Jays.

Astros' Jeremy Pena: Out of lineup Wednesday

Stephenson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-0 win over Milwaukee. Offense was scarce in the contest, and Stephenson accounted for one of two total runs with his fourth-inning solo blast. The long ball was his first since May 13, a span of 19 games. Stephenson has struggled since that previous homer, batting .189 with 24 strikeouts and just 14 hits over 74 at-bats.

Tapit never got a chance to run the Belmont Stakes after a lung infection kept him out in 2014. However, that hasn't stopped the horse from contributing to future Belmont success. He has been the sire of four Belmont Stakes winners, and two more of his offspring will be in the 2023 Belmont Stakes field on Saturday, Tapit Trice and Tapit Shoes. The latest 2023 Belmont Stakes odds list Tapit Trice at 3-1, while Tapit Shoes is a bigger longshot at 20-1. Other top 2023 Belmont Stakes horses include Forte at 5-2 and Angel of Empire at 7-2.
