Bengals targeted as fit for notable free agent before training camp
Bengals targeted as fit for notable free agent before training camp So far, the Cincinnati Bengals haven't shown any outward sign of being interested in adding another free agent at any position. That even goes for the offensive line in front of Joe Burrow, which is a little surprising. The team drafted Dylan Fairchild in the mid-rounds, brought back Cody Ford, signed Lucas Patrick in free agency and will still give Cordell Volson a shot, despite his benching last year. Fans can be forgiven, then, for wanting to see the team sign another free agent to compete. Which means they'll like that NFL Trade Rumors' Ethan Woodie has suggested the Bengals go after Shaq Mason: "Perhaps Fairchild will prove us wrong and be ready sooner than expected, but either way, acquiring more bodies at guard would be wise for the Bengals. The gap between Patrick and Mason might be insignificant, but Mason would definitely be an upgrade over Volson or Ford. Signing him would take pressure off Fairchild to play as a rookie and would both add depth and improve the starting five on Cincy's offensive line."

At this point, though, some new competition might be better than none for the Bengals. They've treated the offensive line like the rest of the major problematic areas this offseason, hoping youth and a coaching change (with Scott Peters) can fix most of the problems. Mason isn't necessarily the best example of a guy the Bengals should get after, but something is better than nothing when it comes to protecting Burrow.

Marchan leads Harper-less Phillies over Braves 5-4 in doubleheader opener for 23rd win in 29 games
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Backup catcher Rafael Marchan hit a two-run homer, drove in the go-ahead run when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the eighth inning and caught two runners stealing, helping the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 5-4 in in a doubleheader opener Thursday. Phillies star Bryce Harper missed the game, two days after he was hit on the right elbow by a 95.3 mph pitch from Spencer Strider. The NL East-leading Phillies won for the 23rd time 29 games and dealt the Braves their sixth loss in seven games. Jordan Romano walked three and allowed a single in the ninth before Eli White took a slider on the low, outside corner for a game-ending called third strike, giving the closer his eighth save in 10 chances. Marchan put the Phillies ahead 2-0 in the third scored with a headfirst slide on Trea Turner's fifth-inning infield single. He was nicked on a shin protector by a bounced slider from Daysbel Hernández (3-1). Marchan threw out Fairchild for the final out of the fourth and Ozzie Albies for the first out of the ninth, both on attempts to steal second. José Ruiz (1-0) retired Nick Allen on a groundout to strand a runner on second in the eighth. Sean Murphy homered and had an RBI single, and Ronald Acuña Jr. had a pair of hits and an RBI for the Braves. Acuña entered in the fourth after Fairchild appeared to hurt a finger on his right hand during a slide. Braves starter A.J. Smith-Shawver took a 96.6 mph line drive off his right ankle, a ball hit by Bryson Stott with one out in the third. Smith-Shawver threw a warmup pitch and stayed in the game, then left after wincing while allowing a flyout to Turner on the fourth pitch of the at-bat. Key moment Kyle Schwarber homered off Pierce Johnson for a 4-2 lead in the seventh, his 19th home run this season, one batter after the right-hander relieved lefty Aaron Bummer. Key stat Harper had started the Phillies first 54 games. Up Next Braves LHP Chris Sale (2-3, 3.36 ERA) and Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler (6-1, 2.42) in the second game, Sale won last year's NL Cy Young Award and Wheeler finished second in voting, ___
