Broncos- The big news coming out of Denver this week was about Defensive End, Derek Wolfe. The Broncos will lose defensive end Derek Wolfe to a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs, The League announced Friday. In a statement, Wolfe offered an apology to the Broncos organization, teammates and fans. He noted that the suspension was caused by medication that he took.Wolfe said “I will certainly exercise far greater caution in the future and will seek advice relating to the permissibility of any and all medications.” Wolfe will be replaced by Malik Jackson, who had a very productive last season with the Broncos, having 13 Quarterback hits and 29 hurries.
Rockies- After a very exciting game Friday, including two HR’s by Carlos Gonzalez, and a game winning dive into home plate by Charlie Blackmon, The Rockies looked more liked themselves last night, losing 5-2 after allowing 5 runs in the 3rd inning.The Rockies, are sitting in last place in the NL West after falling to 41-54. The team is headed to Chicago on a 7 game road trip where they will play the Cubs and then they’ll fly to St.Louis to take on the National League leading Cardinals. The offense looks promising having both Nolan Arenado and DJ Lemahieu play in the All Star game. The bottom line for the struggling Rockies is that they need pitchers and they needed them yesterday.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner continued his Cactus League shutout streak and second baseman Ryan Jackson homered to lead San Diego to a 5-0 win over the Rockies on Monday at Salt River Fields.
Cashner, the Padres’ projected Opening Day starter, ran his Spring Training scoreless-innings streak to nine by tossing four shutout frames, scattering five hits and striking out one.
“He had good velocity and good movement to his two-seamer,” said Padres manager Bud Black of Cashner, who got nine ground-ball outs with the pitch. “He did a good job keeping the ball down with his two-seamer.”
San Diego scored three runs off Rockies left-hander Franklin Morales in the second, as Alex Castellanos began the rally with a single in his first Padres at-bat since being claimed off waivers Thursday from the Rangers.
Jackson followed with a two-run homer to left, while catcher Rene Rivera doubled, advanced to third on Cashner’s single and scored on a wild pitch.
“I threw a lot of strikes, made my pitches,” Morales said. “Sometimes you miss your pitch, and that’s when you get hit.”
Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal was 1-for-2 in his Cactus League debut coming off last season’s ACL injury, while first baseman/outfielder Tommy Medica continued his torrid spring by going 1-for-3.
The Rockies got two hits a piece from left fielder Carlos Gonzalez and third baseman Nolan Arenado, while first baseman Justin Morneau was 0-for-2 in his first action of the spring.
