He earned his first save of the […]

Alex Lange Gets Back On Track

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Lange had struggled coming into this game as he blew each of his past two saves chances. However, he was able to get back on track versus the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. The right-hander allowed a leadoff double to Shea Langeliers, but the A's didn't do anything with it. Lange […]

Francisco Alvarez Removed Early On Sunday

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez (hand) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The young catcher was taken out of the game after taking a couple of foul balls off his left hand. The team removed him as a precaution and will likely have him undergo additional testing. The […]

Jose Tena took over at shortstop, […]

John Means Looks Impressive On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means looked extremely sharp during Saturday's matchup against the Cleveland Guardians. The left-hander carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning of this game. However, Andres Gimenez ended his chances of his second-career no-hitter with a solo blast in the seventh inning. Despite that, Means was nearly untouchable during his third […]

[…]

Luis Arraez Suffers Injury On Saturday

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (leg) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. It appears that Arraez slipped on the dugout steps after the light went out during Tanner Scott's entrance in the top of the ninth. Garrett Hampson took over at second base for the final frame. This is tough […]

Carlos Santana Hits 300th Career Home Run

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Carlos Santana hit a significant milestone during Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. The veteran slugger blasted a three-run home run off left-hander A.J. Puk on Saturday. That home run marked his 300th career home run, which makes him the 159th player in history to achieve that goal. It's also worth […]

Richie James Placed On Injured Reserve

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Richie James (knee) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. He wasn't able to practice all week due to an MCL injury. James only played three offensive snaps in Week 2, but has an important role on special teams. There will now be a void to fill on […]

Kadarius Toney Likely To Play In Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (toe) is currently listed as questionable for the Week 3 matchup versus the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old wasn't able to practice on Wednesday or Thursday this week. He was able to get through a limited practice session on Friday, so that appears to be enough for him. The […]

DeAndre Hopkins Expected To Play In Week 3

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) is expected to suit up for the Week 3 matchup versus the Cleveland Browns. The veteran wideout has been dealing with an ankle issue for over a week. Despite that, he suited up in Week 2 and continued to play well with four receptions for 40 yards. Hopkins […]

DK Metcalf Active For Week 3

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs) will play in Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. He missed the first two practices to open the week, but was able to get in a full session on Friday. That appears to be enough for Metcalf as he'll suit up this weekend. Last week, Metcalf […]

Isiah Pacheco Considered A Game-Time Decision

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the upcoming Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Pacheco has been limited during practice this week, but still appears to be in good shape for this contest. Right now, the plan is for Pacheco to warm up with the team and […]

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) suffered a season-ending injury during the Week 2 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Chubb has suffered a torn MCL and given a recovery […]

Marcus Stroman Struggles In Return

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman took the mound for the first time on Saturday since being placed on the injured list. The right-hander didn't look too sharp versus the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. Stroman only lasted three innings, while allowing three runs in what ended up being a win for the Cubs. Luckily, Javier […]

Jose Cuas Records First Save

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Jose Cuas was called upon to shut the door versus the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The right-hander was asked to protect a three-run lead in the ninth, which was surprising considering he has mainly been pitching in the sixth and seventh inning. Despite that, Cuas threw a scoreless ninth inning to […]

Chris Paddack Could Return On Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Chris Paddack (elbow) could rejoin the big league roster as early as Sunday. The right-hander has been sidelined all season while he recovers from Tommy John surgery.

Mike Yastrzemski On The Bench Versus Southpaw

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Austin Slater, Tyler Fitzgerald and […]

Tyler Anderson Done For The Season

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Anderson (knee) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday. The left-hander originally had his start pushed back and was supposed to start on Sunday. That won't happen as Anderson will be shut down for the rest of the season. He'll finish the season with a 5.43 […]

Will Smith Gets Saturday Off

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers have gone with the plan of starting Smith twice followed by Austin Barnes once for about a month. That being said, this appears to be a routine rest day for Smith. The expectation […]

Ryan Mountcastle Hopeful To Return Soon

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) was placed on the injured list on Wednesday, retroactive September 17. This is a tough blow to the O's roster that is heading towards the postseason.

Eury Perez Placed On Injured List

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez (back) is being placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive September 21. The right-hander will go down with one week left in the regular season due to SI joint inflammation.

Michael Brantley To Miss Fifth Straight Game

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (general soreness) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Austin Hays To Sit Out On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 28-year-old. Hays is 0-for-10 with four strikeouts over his last three games, so he could use some rest. Aaron Hicks will take over left field and bat […]

Joe Musgrove Resumes Throwing

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (shoulder) resumed his throwing program on Friday. The right-hander was eased off his throwing sessions in mid-September. However, they've decided to ramp it back up with the Padres pulling within four games of the NL Wild Card. There is only a week left in the regular season, but […]

Eddie Jackson Doubtful For Week 3

Chicago Bears safety Eddie Jackson (foot) was carted off the field in Week 2 and continues to miss practice this week. The superstar safety missed Friday's practice, which puts his status in doubt for the Week 3 matchup versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Honestly, it's a bit surprising the Bears haven't ruled out Jackson for […]
