Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker (abdomen) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. This marks the second game in a row that Rooker has missed after exiting early during Sunday's game. It appears the organization believes this is a day-to-day issue. That being said, Rooker should avoid a […]

Edouard Julien Homers Twice In Win

Minnesota Twins second baseman Edouard Julien put together a strong performance versus the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Julien blasted a leadoff home run to kick off the bottom of the first inning. He later homered again in the fifth inning to give the Twins a 3-2 lead. The score would hold as Julien provided […]

Oakland Athletics first baseman Ryan Noda (hand) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers.

J.D. Martinez Not Ready Yet

New York Mets outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) will be shut down for three to five days after receiving a cortisone shot.

Max Scherzer Throws Bullpen Session

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) threw a bullpen session without any issues on Tuesday. The plan is for Scherzer to progress to facing live hitters in a batting practice session next week. The 39-year-old remains without a timetable to return, but the expectation is that Scherzer is back before the start of June. […]

Francisco Alvarez Remains Out On Tuesday

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Wiggins was a late scratch on Sunday due to a left ankle sprain.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Aaron Gordon Holds Questionable Tag For Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gordon remains uncertain for this game after missing their last contest due to a right foot strain.

Naji Marshall Tagged As Doubtful For Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's expected to continue missing time due to a lingering right shoulder issue. The absence of Marshall should mean increased playing time for Larry Nance Jr. in the rotation. He played 32 minutes during their […]

Jerami Grant Unlikely To Play On Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Jusuf Nurkic Uncertain For Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man was dealing with a calf issue, but now picked up an ankle injury. If he sits out, Drew Eubanks figures to move into the starting five. He hasn't exactly done much during his […]

Justin Verlander To Make Rehab Start This Weekend

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) is scheduled to make another rehab start over the weekend.

It wasn't great results for the veteran right-hander but the main […]

Jose Soriano Named Starter For Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano has been named the starter for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec has been optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday. The former top prospect has struggled during his time with the big league club. So far this season, Dalbec was limited to nine at-bats in which he struck out during six of those. Possibly, Dalbec returns to the MLB if […]

Michael Conforto Not Starting On Monday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. There is no injury being reported so it's assumed that his absence is a routine rest day. It's a bit odd with a right-hander on the mound, but the expectation is he'll be back […]

Michael Lorenzen Will Make Additional Rehab Start

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen appears to be nearly ready to join the big league rotation. The right-hander said he was ready to go following his latest rehab start. However, the organization will have Lorenzen pitch one more time to get his pitch count up to 90. That means, Cody Bradford should make at […]

Jackson Merrill Collects Four Hits

San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill put together a solid day at the plate during Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The young slugger went 4-for-4 at the plate during Sunday's loss. All of the hits were singles, but Merrill is not known as a power hitter. He makes hard contact but isn't a […]

Camilo Doval Locks Down First Save

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Camilo Doval has experienced a rough start to the season with two runs allowed in 2 2/3 innings coming into Sunday's game.
