Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Enoli Paredes (forearm) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. This is a tough blow to the Brewers bullpen considering how impressive Paredes has looked this season. He holds a 1.08 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 12/8 K/BB ratio across 16 2/3 innings this season. The severity of the […]

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Ryan Mountcastle Missing Third Straight Game

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for the third straight game on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners.

New York Mets designated hitter J.D. Martinez (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals.

Josh Smith will cover shortstop […]

Max Meyer Quiet During June

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Max Meyer has been a name that has been talked about a lot recently about possibly joining the big league rotation.

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor has been heating up with the bat over the last few days. On Sunday, Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the loss to the Kansas City Royals. He was slow out of the gate, but Naylor has started to swing the bat better as of […]
