Jackson Merrill Activated, Playing on Sunday

San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill (concussion) was activated off the 7-day injured list on Sunday. Merrill is back in action after missing a little over a week due to a concussion.

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize (leg) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's outing against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Shea Langeliers Takes Batting Practice

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (oblique) was able to take part in batting practice ahead of Saturday's game.

Bryce Harper Hitting Soft Toss

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (hand) progressed to hitting soft toss this weekend.

Cal Raleigh Hits 30th Homer

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh continued his power hitting ways during Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Ian Happ Homers Twice in Win

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ remained hot at the plate during Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (foot) was able to play catch ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The plan is for McCullers to throw again on Sunday.

Landen Roupp Throws Six Shutout Innings

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp looked strong on the mound during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Max Kranick Heading to Injured List

New York Mets relief pitcher Max Kranick (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list. He underwent an MRI that revealed a flexor strain in his right elbow, so Kranick will miss some time.

Tyler Glasnow Beginning Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is set to make a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Glasnow threw a 40-pitch live batting practice session earlier in the week.
