Angeles. Kershaw (1-4
James Bradberry Jersey , 2.84 ERA) has no decisions with a 2.77 ERA in three starts since going on the disabled list in early May with biceps
tendinitis. He returned to start against Philadelphia on May 31, but then went
right back on the DL with a lower back injury. Kershaw
Tyler Boyd Jersey , whose only win this season was against Arizona on April 15, gave up one run and four hits
with no walks and six strikeouts in five innings against Chicago in his second
start back last Thursday.REALMUTO ON A ROLLMarlins catcher J.T. Realmuto looks to get a base hit in his 11th straight game as Miami continues its interleague series against Tampa Bay. He is 15 for
42 (.357 average) with two homers and 10 RBIs over his last 10
contests
Mark Barron Jersey , a stretch broken up by him sitting out four straight games last week. Realmuto is hitting .311 with 11 homers and 36 RBIs on
the season.BIEBERMANIACleveland rookie right-hander Shane Bieber looks to remain unbeaten as he faces the struggling Royals. The 23-year-old is 3-0 with a 2.22 ERA in four
starts since making his major league debut against Minnesota on May 31. Kansas
City has lost 23 of its last 28 games and is tied with Baltimore for the most
losses in the majors with 54. The Royals have scored four runs or fewer in 23 of
their last 24 games.THROWING SIXMichael Fulmer (3-7, 4.20 ERA) tries to extend the Detroit’s streak of starters working at least six innings to seven games in the opener of a two-game
series against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Tigers‘ current stretch of sidx
straight is the team’s longest since last July 28 to Aug. 2.STRUGGLINGChris Davis looks to keep up his recent hitting surge as the Baltimore Orioles open a two-game series at Philadelphia. Davis is 5 for 20 with two
homers and four RBIs in his last five games. Since sitting out a stretch of 10
of 12 games last month to try to snap out a season-long hitting funk
Greg Zuerlein Jersey , he is 7 for 38 with three HRs and nine RBIs over the last 10 games. That has improved his totals to a .156 average with seven
homers and 24 RBIs while striking out 99 times.—The Tennessee Titans are releasing outside linebacker Kevin Dodd, an unceremonious finish for a former second-round pick who never came close to
living up this draft position.The Titans announced Tuesday in a one-sentence release that they plan to cut ties with Dodd
Quintin Demps Jersey , the 33rd overall pick in the 2016 draft.This move comes two days after the Titans placed Dodd on the "did not report" list. Dodd also skipped voluntary offseason workouts before reporting to the
team's mandatory minicamp in June.Dodd only reported to the Titans' offseason program in June when staying away would have meant a fine.Injuries limited Dodd for much of his stay with the Titans. He appeared in only nine games in each of his two seasons with Tennessee. He recorded a total
of one sack.The Titans had much bigger hopes for Dodd when they selected him out of Clemson early in the second round.Dodd had 12 sacks his junior year at Clemson and recorded 23 ? tackles for loss to rank second nationally. He capped his Clemson career by delivering five
tackles for loss and three sacks against Alabama in the College Football Playoff
championship game.He never approached that production with the Titans and now becomes the first draft bust of general manager Jon Robinson's Tennessee tenure.
