San Francisco Giants outfielder Harrison Bader (foot) is placed on the 10-day Injured List ahead of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Carson Benge Cooling Off at the Plate, Still Flashing Tools in Rookie Season

New York Mets outfielder Carson Benge has struggled at the plate recently, hitting just .115 over his last seven games. The 23-year-old showed strong form in mid-May with six multi-hit performances across eight games, but his production has cooled since that stretch.

New York Mets outfielder A.J. Ewing continued his strong rookie campaign on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with two RBI, one stolen base, and one run scored.

Xander Bogaerts Cold Streak Continues, Fantasy Value Slipping in San Diego

San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts has continued to struggle at the plate, hitting just .154 with a .172 OBP over his last seven games.

Jose Altuve May Not Need a Rehab Assignment

Jose Altuve (oblique) is trending toward avoiding a rehab assignment altogether. Manager Joe Espada has stated that the 36-year-old is healing at an incredible pace and that his on-field preparation may come through simulated at-bats rather than a minor-league rehab assignment. With his recovery progressing in that direction, a return could come sooner than originally […]

Andres Munoz Blows Fourth Save as Struggles Persist, Will he Lose Further Opportunities?

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz ran into trouble again on Friday, blowing his fourth save of the season before the Mariners ultimately defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in extra innings. Munoz is now just 9-for-13 in save opportunities and has struggled to lock down games consistently as June approaches. The 27-year-old entered the season as one […]

Trevor Megill Earns Another Save for Brewers, Emerging as Must-Start Closer Again?

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Trevor Megill picked up his seventh save of the season on Friday, securing his second save in as many appearances.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (groin) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 28, due to right groin tightness. Manager A.J.
