Raiders sign talented but troubled running back Michael Dyer

The Raiders have signed well-traveled running back Michael Dyer, the team announced Monday evening. The move was first reported by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. The 24-year-old Dyer was invited to the NFL Scouting Combine despite his troubled past. He was signed by the Raiders following a tryout at the team's rookie minicamp after going undrafted and not being offered a free-agent deal. Dyer was one of six tryout players signed.

Kris Bryant hits first career home run, returns to empty dugout

Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant entered Saturday's game against the Brewers batting .278 with a .422 OBP and 14 RBIs in just 20 career games — a solid debut for the much-hyped rookie. But he had yet to hit the big one: the first career home run. Now, the wait is over. MORE: Harper hits walk-off, gets showered in chocolate | Pirates turn historic triple play Bryant came to bat in the bottom of the third inning against the Brewers, his team down 2-0, and proceeded to give the Cubs a lead with a three-run shot to left-center. The rookie clearly struggled to contain a smile as he smugly rounded the bases. Even in Milwaukee, a strong contingent of Cubs fans stood and cheered the milestone. But his teammates, well, they were a little less vocal in their celebration of Bryant's big moment. In fact, they weren't even visible.  Luckily, the Cubs' players returned to finish the game.
