The News Hong-Chih Kuo is hoping to return to the mound as soon as Friday night, according to the Los Angeles Times. Our View Kuo has been dealing with elbow soreness, but fared fine while throwing a bullpen session yesterday.

The News Brian Boucher turned away 27-of-29 shots in tonight's 3-2 win at Dallas. Our View Boucher is in a nice groove, as he allowed two or less goals in each of his last four outings. This is good news, as Philadelphia will need to depend on him more with Michael Leighton on the shelf with a high-ankle sprain. He is worth targeting as a flier if you need help at the position.

The News The Patriots are one of five teams that are scheduled to host Tim Tebow (Florida) for a workout, according to the Boston Herald. The other teams are the Bills, Seahawks, Browns and Redskins. Our View Among those five teams, the Patriots obviously need a quarterback the least. Tebow is expected to be off the board by the third round, and it is unlikely that head coach Bill Belichick would use the Patriots' second-round pick on him. Read More

Rays OF Carl Crawford knew what to expect before his team played the Yankees on Thursday night: A crowd of New York writers were waiting to talk to him about the possibility he'll become one of the most appealing free agents in baseball after the 2010 season. "They say it's going to be like that," Crawford said. "It comes with the territory. You've got to answer those questions and I'm fine with that." The Rays and Crawford are not expected to resume contract negotiations until after the season, which is already causing speculation about the Yankees making a serious bid should the three-time AL All-Star opt for free agency. "My mind is still, I'm a Tampa Bay Ray," Crawford said. "I don't even think past this year. I don't really want my mind to think that far. Really, I focus on the things I normally do and that's about it. Keep it simple." Read More
