Lions traded up with the Patriots to select LSU OG Miles Frazier with the No. 171 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

2 weeks ago

The move cost Detroit a seventh-round selection to move up from pick No. 182. Frazier stands out as a pass blocker. He posted an 88.0 PFF grade, not allowing a single sack all season. Frazier shows a ton of versatility. He started 39 games at LSU, including stints at left guard, right guard and right tackle. In 578 pass blocking snaps, Frazier didn’t allow a single sack. He’s also reliable, playing over 900 offensive snaps in his senior season at LSU. Frazier has a nice frame for an offensive lineman in the NFL, standing at 6-foot-5 and 317 pounds. As a run blocker, Frazier is a bit inconsistent. He isn’t very quick off the ball. Frazier also isn’t very powerful with his hands. He also has short arms, which doesn’t help him control the line of scrimmage. Overall, Frazier is an elite pass blocker. He shows potential as a run blocker, but isn’t polished in certain areas. He fits more of a depth piece, with the potential to become a starter.

Tony Kemp announced his retirement from baseball.

1 hour ago

Kemp announced his retirement on social media. The 33-year-old was a nine-year MLB veteran with a career .237/.324/.351 slash line with 35 home runs and 53 steals in 739 games. He was a major part of the Oakland Athletics from 2021-2023, starting at least 124 games in each of those three seasons. He was also the team’s nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award for four consecutive years.

Dylan Crews is not in the starting lineup for the Nationals on Thursday against the Braves.

2 hours ago

Crews is hitting just .136/.255/.277 in 13 games in May with 13 strikeouts and five walks. The Nationals are unlikely to compete this year and will certainly know Crews is a big part of their future, so we expect them to give him a long leash but he’ll need to start producing soon. Alex Call will start in right field on Thursday.

TJ Friedl (wrist) remains out of the lineup for the Reds on Thursday against the White Sox.

2 hours ago

Friedl is still being evaluated for the injury, and the Reds have yet to make a decision about putting him on the IL. Will Benson will remain in center field on Thursday and bat sixth with Connor Joe playing right field and batting ninth.

Joe Boyle threw five shutout innings for Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, allowing just one hit.

3 hours ago

Perhaps more importantly, Boyle walked only one and struck out five on the day. Boyle now has a 1.46 ERA on the season and has walked just 13 batters to 39 strikeouts. It turns out, the Rays’ decision to reshape Boyle’s pitch mix and cut back on the movement of his pitches might have been the magic elixir to fix his command. Zack Littell has no minor league options left, so there doesn’t appear to be any space in the Rays’ rotation unless they want to give the struggling Shane Baz a brief break in the minor leagues. When Boyle does get a chance, he will be worth an immediate add in all fantasy leagues.

Tim Elko will head to the bench for the White Sox on Thursday against the Marlins.

3 hours ago

Elko has gone just 2-for-14 with four strikeouts in four games since being called up, so perhaps the White Sox are just giving him a day to regroup. Still, he hit .348 with 10 home runs in 31 games at Triple-A this season, and this White Sox team is going nowhere, so it makes more sense for them to keep him in the lineup and see if he can adjust to MLB pitching. We’ll hope this is just a routine off day. Lenyn Sosa will play first base and bat sixth, with Josh Rojas sliding over to second base

Nationals OF prospect Robert Hassell III went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run for Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.

3 hours ago

The eighth overall pick from the 2020 MLB Draft is now hitting .289/.340/.387 with three home runs and eight steals in 38 games at Triple-A this season. He also has 30 strikeouts and 19 walks, so his overall plate discipline has been pretty solid. The Nationals are starting Jacob Young in center field, and while he plays elite defense, he is also hitting just .216 in 119 plate appearances this season. There will come a time in the summer when the Nationals decide it’s time to turn center field over to Hassell, who is one of the big-name prospects who came over in the Juan Soto trade.
