Minnesota Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll said that the team has "no plans to trade" outfielder Byron Buxton, according to The Athletic's Dan Hayes. Buxton has said previously that he has no interest in leaving Minnesota, and he has a full no-trade clause, which definitely makes it difficult for the Twins to move him if […]

Athletics infielder/outfielder Zack Gelof (hand) was removed from Tuesday night's game early against the San Francisco Giants after third baseman Matt Chapman stepped on his right hand at second base in the second inning, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos.

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (back) is doing baseball activities and is "symptom-free, pretty much," per Max Goodman of NJ.com.

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto (back) was removed early from his team's game against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night due to back tightness. Soto was hitless in two trips to the plate before exiting the game. The 27-year-old has been his typical elite self at the plate when healthy this season, hitting .299/.395/.570 […]

Baltimore Orioles infielder/outfielder Blaze Alexander (knee) is sitting out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest in Anaheim against the hosting Los Angeles Angels, per MLB.com. Alexander left the series opener on Monday with a right-knee contusion after fouling a ball off his leg, so it's not a huge surprise that he's not starting a […]

Philadelphia Phillies All-Star outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (back) was scratched from Tuesday night's lineup on the road against the division-rival Washington Nationals with tightness in his lower back, according to Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Utility infielder Edmundo Sosa is serving as the DH for the Philis and is batting eighth in the order […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker (back) is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the hosting Minnesota Twins after being pulled from Monday's series opener early with lower-back spasms, according to MLB.com.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley (illness) is starting in right field for Seattle and will bat sixth against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Mitch Keller at PNC Park on Tuesday, according to MLB.com.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (hamstring) is not in the team's starting lineup for Tuesday's tilt on the road at PNC Park against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates, according to MLB.com.

The Seattle Mariners activated outfielder Randy Arozarena (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, according to MLB.com.

The 31-year-old veteran outfielder is […]

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman has looked a bit rusty since returning from the injured list, going 3-for-19 (.158) in the five games since rejoining Triple-A Jacksonville. The Marlins' eighth-ranked prospect missed about a month with a fractured wrist, and had been hitting well before the injury, still sitting with a solid .287/.365/.503 slash […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has gone somewhat cold as of late, hitting just .133 (4-for-30) over his last nine games. Despite the slowdown, it's worth noting that three of his four hits during this time have gone for extra bases (one double, two home runs) and the left-handed hitter has still […]

According to Chris McCosky, the Detroit Tigers selected the contract of outfielder Ben Malgeri from Triple-A Toledo, placing the 26-year-old on a major-league roster for the first time in his career. Detroit optioned outfielder Trei Cruz to Toledo in a corresponding move, while right-hander Burch Smith was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Malgeri earned […]

Baltimore Orioles infielder/outfielder Blaze Alexander (knee) was pulled from Monday's game early against the Los Angeles Angels with discomfort in his right knee, according to Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com. Manager Craig Albernaz said that Alexander has a muscle contusion from fouling a ball off his knee, and it locked up on him when he sat […]

Entering 2026, San Diego Padres outfielder Samad Taylor had logged just 14 big league plate appearances since the start of 2024. However, the 27-year-old posted a .906 OPS across 222 Triple-A plate appearances to open the year, earning himself a promotion to the big leagues in early June. Taylor has performed well in a limited […]

Athletics outfielder Henry Bolte opened the 2026 season at Triple-A and dominated, hitting .348 with 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases across 177 plate appearances.

Bolte has maintained his impressive production since being called up, hitting .315/.400/.414 with two home […]

The Minnesota Twins activated outfield prospect Walker Jenkins (shoulder) from the seven-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, according to Milb.com.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar did not make his 2026 debut until June 5 after having offseason surgery on both heels. However, the 28-year-old has performed well since his return, hitting .269/.371/.442 with two home runs, seven RBI, and 10 runs scored across 62 plate appearances. The lefty-swinging Nootbaar posted a .580 OPS against […]
