Georgia EDGE Mykel Williams visited the Falcons on Wednesday.

4 weeks ago

Williams posted on his Instagram that he visited the Falcons facility on what was the last day of pre-draft visits. The 20-year-old is a Georgia native, played at the University of Georgia, and is expected to be selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The Falcons have a need for an edge rusher and hold the No. 15 pick. They may look to keep Williams in-state and add his skillset to their pass-rushing group. Williams tallied five sacks last season and has explosive production for any team looking to add an edge rusher in the first round.

Astros’ top prospect Brice Matthews landed on the minor league injured list on Thursday after suffering a concussion.

16 minutes ago

The 23-year-old infielder sustained the injury while sliding. He’ll need to pass through the concussion protocol before he’s able to return to game action. In 37 games at Triple-A Sugar Land, Matthews was hitting .234/.375/.375 with four homers, 13 RBI, 16 stolen bases and a 45/28 K/BB ratio.

Jake Burger went 2-for-3 and blasted a go-ahead solo homer in the sixth inning on Thursday night, powering the Rangers to a 1-0 victory over the Astros.

52 minutes ago

Burger finally snapped a scoreless tie in the sixth inning as he whacked a 1-1 cutter from Hunter Brown for a 394-foot (108.1 mph EV) solo shot. That would prove to be the only tally for either team in the ballgame. He also singled with two outs in the eighth inning but was left stranded there. The 29-year-old slugger has now hit safely in all four games since returning from Triple-A, raising his season slash to .214/.262/.375 to go along with four homers and 15 RBI.

Shawn Armstrong slammed the door on the Astros in the ninth inning on Thursday, protecting a one-run lead to earn his second save of the season.

53 minutes ago

With Luke Jackson (hand) and Chris Martin (elbow) sidelined, the Rangers once again turned to Armstrong with a one-run lead to protect in the ninth inning. He made things a bit interesting by issuing a two-out walk to Victor Caratini, but he fought back to get Zach Dezenzo top pop out to second base to end it. Armstrong has proven that he’s capable of handling save situations for the Rangers, so look for him to continue to get his name called while Jackson and Martin are shelved.

Jacob deGrom delivered a dominant performance in Thursday night’s victory over the Astros, racking up seven strikeouts over eight innings of shutout baseball.

54 minutes ago

The 36-year-old right-hander scattered just five hits on the evening while allowing one walk. The biggest threat against him came in the second inning as Victor Caratini smacked a two-out double and Zach Dezenszo worked a walk. Not to worry though as deGrom battled back to strike out Jake Meyers to end the inning. He got 16 swings and misses on 96 pitches in the ballgame — 10 of them on his slider — while posting a strong CSW of 33 percent. Now 4-1 on the season, he’ll carry an impressive 2.31 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and a 53/11 K/BB ratio (51 innings) into a tough matchup against the Yankees in New York on Wednesday.

Victor Caratini went 2-for-3 with a double and drew a walk on Thursday night as the Astros were shut out by Jacob deGrom and the Rangers.

54 minutes ago

As a team, the Astros were only able to muster five total hits in the ballgame, with Caratini the only player to collect more than one. He also had the lone extra-base hit with a two-out double off of deGrom in the second inning. On the season, the 31-year-old backstop is slashing a respectable .262/.368/.415 with two homers and four RBI in his first 76 plate appearances.

Hunter Brown was outstanding in a tough-luck loss against the Rangers on Thursday night, allowing just one run on three hits over eight stellar innings of work.

57 minutes ago

The 26-year-old right-hander punched out nine batters on the night and didn’t walk a batter in the complete game loss. The only blemish on his day came on a leadoff solo home run off the bat of Jake Burger in the sixth inning. That just so happened to be the only scoring by either squad in the contest. Brown got 11 swings and misses on 91 pitches in the game — eight of those on his heater — while registering an elite CSW of 35 percent. He’ll look to get back in the win column as he brings a scintillating 1.43 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and a 67/14 K/BB ratio (56 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Rays in Tampa Bay.
