The Arizona Cardinals have a number of notable position battles as they have begun training camp. Some battles are for starting jobs, while others are for key reserve spots. A pair of positions believed to have key battles — right guard and "Mike" linebacker — seem to be set with new starters. Others, though, have intrigue.

The highlight of the Arizona Cardinals' fifth training camp practice came when Marvin Harrison Jr. made a leaping one-handed grab over Denzel Burke.

Then-newcomer Mack Wilson Sr. played 75 percent (763 snaps) at Will linebacker with 2023 fifth-round pick Owen Pappoe his backup. Added to the roster shortly after the league year began on March 12 were Akeem Davis-Gaither and Mykal Walker, followed by the selection of Cody Simon in the fourth round of the draft.

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Tekoah Roby underwent Tommy John surgery and will likely not pitch until 2027, multiple team sources told The Athletic on Monday.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado reportedly might experience a change of scenery ahead of the trade deadline.

Adding Helsley to the mix would give Texas a true closer for the stretch run of the season. Without a closer, their bullpen is a bit vulnerable. Texas also has some solid prospects to spare if they do decide to trade for the All-Star closer. St. Louis will have a high asking price.
