Giants | Aaron Curry admits previous lack of motivation New York Giants LB Aaron Curry admitted that the money he earned as a high draft pick changed him and he lost his motivation, ultimately leading to his trade from the Seattle Seahawks. "Early in my career, I was just selfish and self-centered," Curry said Wednesday, May 22. "I was more about me than I was the Seahawks at the time. I was more focused on my own desires versus the franchise and the team. It was immaturity, and I'm glad I got past that stage." Comment |

White Sox | No MRI scheduled for Chris Sale Chicago White Sox SP Chris Sale (shoulder) is not scheduled for an MRI, and he is thought to be on track to pitch Tuesday, May 28, against the Chicago Cubs. "He wants to go pitch," manager Robin Ventura said. "It's us that are taking the ball out of his hands. It's not his decision, but he knows how he feels and how he's going to feel in five days." FANTASY TIP: Sale sounds like a go for his next scheduled start, and he would be a two-start pitcher in the upcoming week barring any weather interruptions or health issues. It appears safe to plug him back into the active fantasy lineup in all leagues. Comment |

White Sox | Adam Dunn playing through pain Chicago White Sox 1B Adam Dunn (back) said Wednesday, May 22, that he is having difficulty getting loose, but he continues to play despite not being at 100 percent. He said his problem is more related to fielding because his pain is vertical. "It takes so long to get loose," Dunn said. "I have to probably go two or three batters before I normally do just to go and get loose again. Other than that, it's pretty much the same." Comment |

Astros | Bud Norris doesn't expect to miss start Houston Astros SP Bud Norris (back) said Wednesday, May 22, that he does not expect to miss his next scheduled start despite leaving his past two outings due to lower back spasms. "I really don't want to (miss the next start). I think the prevention process of taking care of it now and getting me out of the game will help," Norris said. FANTASY TIP: Norris has left each of his past two starts early. It might be a good idea to reserve him in all fantasy formats until he can make it through one full outing without any setbacks or disruptions. Comment |

Vikings | Never asked Jared Allen to restructure Minnesota Vikings DE Jared Allen said Wednesday, May 22, that the team never asked him to restructure his current deal. He is in a contract year, and he is due to make $14,280,612 in base salary this season, with a cap number over $17 million. "You use the word restructure and that to me makes it feel like they'd want me to take a pay cut. And if anybody asked me to take a pay cut, I'd be through the first door out of there. So no. We haven't talked one iota," Allen said. Comment |
