Ahead of training camp, Browns place QB Deshaun Watson on the active/physically unable to perform list along with DT Mike Hall Jr.
So glad Ozzy and Sabbath had that final, fitting sendoff in Birmingham. One of the great frontmen in rock history. RIP.

As long as it still says Cleveland, that's the only name that really matters.
Steven Kwan back in Guardians' lineup tonight after missing three games with wrist injury. Received injection following All-Star Game.
Gotta say, the Oasis videos have me considering a trip to see the Gallagher bros.
That was the kind of efficient performance the Guardians should expect from Gavin Williams more often.
Just finished Part 1 of Billy Joel documentary on @HBO. It's really well done. Encourage any music fan, and every Long Islander to watch this deep dive into the Piano Man and his journey.

Kwan's wrist injury could explain him pulling off the ball over the last month. Also, it's a reminder we don't know all that players are dealing with. Even as an "insider", it was always a challenge to unearth injuries and their severity.

Shane Bieber's next minor league start is scheduled for Tuesday.
Cleveland! I’ll be running a FREE baseball clinic with my foundation @PitCChInFdn on Aug 13th @ Luke Easter Park. Ages 6-15 only, limited spots: CCSabathiaCamp.com See you there!
With Kwan (wrist) out tonight, Guardians have 7 players in lineup batting below .235.
