You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get you caught up.
Shane McClanahan is the name to watch in Tampa Bay tonight, and not for good reasons. The Rays' lefty exited Thursday's start against the Rangers in the fourth inning with back tightness, and for a rotation already counting on him heavily, that's a concerning development with the trade deadline right around the corner.
Speaking of the deadline, the Red Sox are having one of those weeks you just can't script. Boston acquired Curtis Mead from the Rockies in what looked like a sharp move, only for Mead to fracture his wrist in his very first game in a Red Sox uniform. Meanwhile, the Rockies' asking price for catcher Hunter Goodman is reportedly giving Boston's front office serious pause, leaving the club scrambling for answers before Monday's six p.m. Eastern cutoff.
And out in Dallas, the Cowboys may actually be getting ahead of something for once. Stephen Jones confirmed that defensive tackle Quinnen Williams sits at the top of their priority list for an extension, and Williams himself says he'd love to stay long-term. For a franchise that's let talent walk before, this one feels different.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
