The New York Mets say Matt Harvey should be able to make his scheduled start in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series against the Cubs in Chicago. He bruised his right arm when hit by a comebacker off the bat of Dexter Fowler in the series opener on Saturday night.

The Toronto Blue Jays have banned the sale of canned beer in the upper deck at the AL Championship Series after fans threw them on the field during a ruckus earlier in the playoffs.

Former American League Cy Young Award winner Barry Zito has retired, making the announcement through an article he wrote for "The Players' Tribune."

The NFL has suspended New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa for four games without pay for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

Coleman was suspended last week after his arrest for investigation of vehicular assault and hit-and-run.
Johnny Manziel's roadside argument with his girlfriend could lead to punishment from the NFL.
Browns coach Mike Pettine says that the league is investigating the high-profile backup quarterback's domestic dispute last week. Manziel was questioned by police in Avon, Ohio, after his girlfriend claimed he was physical with her when the two had a heated disagreement while driving on an interstate highway.
Colleen Crowley can be heard telling police on a dash-cam video that Manziel was physical with her, saying "he hit me a couple times." Manziel was not arrested. Crowley, who police said appeared intoxicated, did not press charges.

Fantasy Sports:
DraftKings says a law firm hired to investigate claims an employee used valuable inside information to win a $350,000 second-place prize on a competing daily fantasy sports site contest confirms that didn't and couldn't have happened.
