Noah Schultz Still Worth Targeting on the Waiver Wire Following Rough Outing?

Across 25 innings (five starts) so far this season, Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Noah Schultz has recorded a 2-2 record with a 4.68 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts. Schultz has struggled mightily with command, as he currently owns a 15.1% walk rate. Still, the 22-year-old's overall line is weighed down by a rough […]

Tatsuya Imai Scheduled to Rejoin Astros Rotation on Tuesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Tatsuya Imai (arm) will make his return to his team's starting rotation on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Imai has been on the 15-day injured list since early April due to right arm fatigue. The 28-year-old got off to a brutal start to his […]

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Addison Barger (elbow) has been scratched from the lineup for his team's game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels due to right elbow soreness.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (elbow) is throwing up to 150 feet of long toss in his rehab program in Arizona, according to Mike Petraglia of MLB.com. Greene has yet to get back on the mound after having surgery on his right elbow back in spring training in March, but it's good news that he's […]

Miguel Vargas Continues to Hit the Ball Hard in Two-Homer Game

Chicago White Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas led the charge in the team's 6-1 win over the visiting Seattle Mariners on Saturday, going 2-for-3 at the plate with two home runs, three RBI, a walk, and a strikeout to raise his season average to .228 and his OPS to .840. Vargas' two home runs came […]

Bryce Harper Returns to Sunday's Lineup After Migraine Issues

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (head) is back in the starting lineup and is hitting third for Sunday's series finale against the visiting Colorado Rockies and right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano, according to MLB.com.

Rodon will make his 2026 season debut for the Yanks in Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee against the Brewers. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw got […]

Moises Ballesteros is Mashing his Way into Must-Have Catcher Territory

Chicago Cubs catcher Moises Ballesteros is quickly making a name for himself with the way he has been swinging the bat. Through 35 games this season, Ballesteros is slashing .277/.340/.521 with six home runs, 19 RBI, and 10 walks. He has fallen into a cold spell recently, going 3-for-36 over the last two weeks.
