rundown

Quick status briefing

A rundown is a summary or brief overview: Give me a rundown of what happened at the meeting.

The word also describes something in poor condition from neglect: a rundown neighborhood, a rundown motel.

In baseball, a rundown is when a baserunner gets caught between bases while fielders throw the ball back and forth trying to tag him out.
