Masyn Winn Sitting Out On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This appears to be nothing more than a routine rest day for Winn. The 22-year-old was banged up recently, but this looks like a regular rest day. Brandon Crawford will draw the start at shortstop […]

Seth Curry Waived By Hornets

Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry has been waived by the organization on Friday. The Hornets decided Curry wasn't worth the $4 million deal, but have expressed interest in bringing back the veteran guard. It's hard to imagine Curry returning to Charlotte as he'll likely want to play for a more competitive organization considering he's at […]

P.J. Tucker Accepts Player Option

Los Angeles Clippers forward P.J. Tucker has accepted his $11.5 million player option for next season. This seems like a no-brainer for Tucker who probably wasn't going to get a better offer in free agency. The 39-year-old is still a reliable defender, but Tucker doesn't offer much upside on the offensive end of the ball. […]

Bruce Brown Remaining With Raptors

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown will stick with the organization after they've accepted his $23 million player option for the 2024 season. It's a little odd to see the Raptors bringing back Brown considering he was average at best during his time in Toronto last season. On a one-year deal, Brown should be a valuable […]

Jalen Smith To Decline Player Option

Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith is expected to decline his $5.4 million player option for the 2024 season. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Smith should be able to earn much more than that in free agency. Smith posted career highs in field goal percentage and three-point percentage last season. He took a solid […]

Chris Paul Pushes Back Guaranteed Contract

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul has agreed to push back the date to his $30 million guaranteed contract for the 2024-2025 season. The veteran guard will push back the date until late Sunday night. Doing that gives the Warriors a chance to explore trade partners for the All-Star guard. Paul certainly isn't in his […]

James McArthur Tosses Scoreless Ninth

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher James McArthur was called upon to hold a one-run lead versus the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. The right-hander tossed a scoreless ninth inning to earn his 14th save of the season. McArthur has been a little shaky this season with a 4.41 ERA across 31 appearances. He's not an elite […]

Corbin Burnes Earns Quality Start

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes was able to keep his strong season going against the Texas Rangers on Thursday. The right-hander allowed one run while striking out five batters over seven innings of work in the win. Burnes did give up nine hits, but he was able to limit the damage to only one […]

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios was sharp on the mound during Thursday's game against the New York Yankees.

[…]

Nico Hoerner Hits Homer In Win

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner put together a solid three-hit performance during Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Hoerner kicked off the scoring with a two-run blast off right-hander Jordan Hicks in the third inning to give Chicago a 2-0 lead. The 27-year-old went 3-for-5 at the plate with a homer and a […]

Cedric Mullins Records Three Hits

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins was hot at the plate during Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. The veteran outfielder went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the blowout. The fourth inning blast by Mullins marked his fourth home run of the season. Mullins has been off to a slow start to […]

Gordon Graceffo Called Up To Majors

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Gordon Graceffo is reportedly being called up on Friday. The right-hander will provide some much-needed depth to the bullpen ahead of Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The Cards are expected to start Andre Pallante and have Graceffo could out of the bullpen behind him. Graceffo holds a 3.84 ERA, […]

Alex Faedo Activated From Injured List

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Faedo (hip) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Thursday. The right-hander will make his return after missing the last three weeks due to right hip inflammation. Before going down, Faedo was a solid contributor in the Tigers bullpen. He holds a 3.38 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 29/13 […]

Lars Nootbaar To Begin Rehab Assignment On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday with Double-A Springfield. Nootbaar told reporters on Thursday that the plan is to play five or six games before returning to St. Louis. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since late-May due to an oblique strain. When healthy, Nootbaar is […]

Jake Fraley Sitting Out On Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (calf) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This doesn't come as much of a surprise after Fraley was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to a lower leg contusion. He underwent an MRI on his right calf on Thursday, but he's still […]

Will Brennan Placed On Injured List

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan (rib) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 25. This move was expected after Brennan missed some time due to rib-cage inflammation. There isn't a timetable for his return right now, so the hope is that this won't be a lengthy absence. In the meantime, Daniel […]

Jeimer Candelario Absent On Thursday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Jeimer Candelario (knee) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The switch-hitter will get another day off to rest and manage his right knee tendinitis issue. The hope is that Candelario will be fine within a few days and won't require a stint […]

Carlos Correa Exits Early On Thursday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (arm) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Correa took a 94-mph fastball off his right arm which forced him to exit the contest. The assumption is that the 29-year-old will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Kyle Farmer shifted over […]

Brandon Drury Remains Out On Thursday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran slugger is set to miss his seven straight game due to an illness. It's honestly surprising that the Angels haven't placed Drury on the injured list considering he has been out since […]

Jose Altuve Continues Hot Stretch

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was once again solid at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran infielder went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBIs and two stolen bases in the win. Unsurprisingly, Altuve was the offensive catalyst for this team. The 34-year-old has been hot with a .365 batting […]

Spencer Arrighetti Records 10 Strikeouts

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti was impressive on the mound during Wednesday's outing against the Colorado Rockies. The rookie right-hander struck out 10 batters over seven shutout innings during Wednesday's win. The Rockies' hitters only managed three hits off Arrighetti as he put together his best performance of the season. It's worth noting that […]

Bryan Reynolds Extends Hitting Streak To 23 Games

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds officially owns the longest hit streak of the 2024 season. The switch-hitter singled in the first inning of Wednesday's game to extend his hitting streak to 23 games. It was his lone hit of the afternoon, but he's still in the middle of a stellar stretch of play. Reynolds is […]

Luis L. Ortiz Notches Seven Strikeouts

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Luis L. Ortiz rebounded nicely during Wednesday's win over the Cincinnati Reds. The 25-year-old recorded seven strikeouts and allowed one run over six innings of work. This was a nice bounce back performance for Ortiz after he gave up six runs during his outing last Friday. The former top prospect has shown […]

George Kirby Looks Impressive In Win

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher George Kirby looked sharp on the mound during Wednesday's start against the Tampa Bay Rays. The right-hander struck out seven batters while allowing only one run over six innings during Wednesday's win. Kirby gave up an early run off the bat of Yandy Diaz, but he held the Rays in check […]

Brandon Marsh Records Four Hits

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh was on a tear at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The left-handed slugger went 4-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the win. Marsh took right-hander Kelder Montero deep in the fourth inning to give the Phillies the lead and they never looked back. […]

Miguel Sano Activated On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The veteran slugger is back in the mix following a two-month absence due to a left knee injury. Sano hasn't brought much to the table this season with one home run and five RBI in 21 games. […]

Liam Hendriks To Throw This Week

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this week. The 35-year-old will throw his first session since undergoing Tommy John surgery last August. It sounds like Hendriks is making progress, but still isn't expected to contribute to the Red Sox bullpen this season. This is a step […]

Dallas Keuchel Acquired By Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for cash considerations. The veteran southpaw signed a minor league deal with the Mariners in late-May. He currently holds a 3.93 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 45/22 K/BB across 13 starts in the minors this season. The 36-year-old might still have […]

Hoby Milner Serving As Opener

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Hoby Milner will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. The veteran southpaw will make his first start after 269 career relief appearances dating back to his MLB debut in 2017. The expectation is that Milner will only pitch the first inning or two. After that, Bryse […]

Brandon Drury Remains Out On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran slugger will miss his fifth straight game while dealing with an illness. The Angels haven't placed Drury on the injured list, but it shouldn't be completely ruled out. Luis Guillorme will fill […]
