The 2016 AL ERA leader headed straight to the clubhouse after retiring the Rays in the first. He threw a bullpen session Friday, his first without a bandage on his finger, and reported no problems. "I would expect that there's got to be some sort of suspension", Gibbons said. Bautista admitted he wasn't sure about Archer's intent.

AFC North draft report: Steelers build up the outside
- May 01, 2017
Watt was the first Badger selected in this year's NFL Draft. T.J. Watt has a lot of upside and is a very good pick this late in the draft. T.J., like his brother J.J., has an incredible motor. He came to Utah as a big, athletic wide receiver. While Landry Jones remains the top backup, expect Dobbs to make a run at third-stringer Zach Mettenberger and - who knows - maybe even be "the guy" after Roethlisberger decides enough is enough.
