Julio Rodriguez Removed From Saturday's Game

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez was removed early during Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's uncertain what happened as Rodriguez was removed for A.J. Pollock in the sixth inning. The team hasn't given any information on why Rodriguez was taken out, so it's assumed he's dealing with some kind of injury. The Mariners […]

Andrew Benintendi Sitting Out On Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (elbow) is being held out of the starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.

Josh Lowe To Sit Out On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. It's the second time in the last three games that Lowe has sat out versus right-handed pitching. It appears the return of outfielder Jose Siri has begun to cut into Lowe's playing time. Lowe is […]

Caleb Kilian Recalled, Starting Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Caleb Kilian has been recalled from Triple-A to start against the Miami Marlins on Saturday, according to manager David Ross. The Cubs starting rotation is banged up a bit, so they will see if the 25-year-old can help fill the void. In three starts last season, Kilian posted a rough 10.32 […]

Tommy Edman Sitting On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman is absent from the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. The 27-year-old will now sit out two of the last three games for rest purposes. The return of Paul DeJong has cut into the playing time of Edman. On Friday, DeJong will cover shortstop and […]

German Marquez Could Require Surgery

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (triceps) could require season-ending surgery. The right-hander told reporters on Friday that he might need to get Tommy John surgery. Marquez exited during Wednesday's start after experiencing pain in his triceps. Normally, players are optimistic in these situations, so to hear Marquez say he might need season-ending surgery isn't […]

Josh Rojas Absent On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas is absent from Friday's starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies. It appears the left-handed slugger is going to get a routine rest day on Friday. This move makes sense considering the D-Backs are facing left-hander Kyle Freeland here. Evan Longoria will cover third base and bat fifth versus Freeland. […]

Drew Rucinski Activated, Starting On Friday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Drew Rucinski (hamstring) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Friday. The right-hander is set to make his season debut on Friday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Rucinski has been sidelined since late March due to a left hamstring strain.

Caris LeVert Wants To Stay In Cleveland

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Despite that, LeVert said that he […]

Los Angeles Clippers center Mason Plumlee is set to become a free agent this season. Recently, Clippers team president Lawrence Frank mentioned he'd love to bring back Plumlee this offseason.

Luke Kennard Questionable For Game 6

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Game 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Kennard was forced to exit early during Game 5 due to a left shoulder injury. It sounds like this injury could very well end up making Kennard a game-time decision for Game 6. The team will probably […]

Clippers Remain Committed To Kawhi Leonard, Paul George

Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (shoulder) both missed a majority of the recent playoff series against the Phoenix Suns. George missed the entire series, while Leonard only played in the first two games of the series. Since joining the team in 2019, Leonard has only played in 161 games, while […]

Naz Reid Likely To Receive Extension

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid has exceeded expectations this season and earned himself a nice contract extension in the future.

Reid averaged career-highs in points (11.5) and rebounds […]

Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels Could Be Extended

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards and forward Jaden McDaniels are likely to receive extension offers from the organization.

It appears the Wolves are serious about locking up […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Has Successful Surgery

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (finger) underwent successful surgery to correct a contracture of the right pinkie finger. Luckily, the 29-year-old underwent surgery less than a week after the Nets season ended. That being said, Finney-Smith should have plenty of time to recover before training camp. The organization mentioned that Finney-Smith should be cleared for […]

Jericho Sims Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp

New York Knicks center Jericho Sims (shoulder) underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder. The big man is expected to be ready for training camp next season. Sims has been sidelined since the first week in April due to injury. It appears his season is over, but his absence won't make a huge impact in […]

Zac Gallen Continues Excellence On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen has been one of the best pitchers in baseball early in the season. The right-hander continued his strong campaign versus the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. Gallen recorded a season-high 12 strikeouts over 6 1/3 shutout innings during Wednesday's victory. The 27-year-old extended his scoreless streak to 28 consecutive […]

Jose Quintana To Be Re-Evaluated On Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jose Quintana (ribs) is set to be re-evaluated on Friday. They will determine whether or not Quintana will be cleared to begin a throwing program. The left-hander hasn't thrown since March after undergoing a bone graft surgery on his ribs. It sounds like Quintana is still quite a bit away […]

George Springer Considered Day-To-Day

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (hand) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The right-handed slugger left after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. The organization says the X-rays were negative, so Springer is considered day-to-day right now. It sounds like he has avoided serious injury, […]

Andrew Chafin Converts Fourth Save

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Andrew Chafin was called upon to protect a two-run lead against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The left-hander immediately ran into trouble. He walked the first batter he faced and the following batter reached on a fielding error. Chafin settled down after that and got the next three batters out […]

Yonathan Daza Remains Out On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Daza exited early on Sunday after being hit by a pitch on the hand. Luckily, the X-rays were negative, but Daza will sit out his third straight game on Wednesday. Brenton Doyle will cover center field […]

Yordan Alvarez Continues To Sit Out

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The left-handed slugger will miss his third game in a row due to neck discomfort. At this point, it seems likely that Alvarez is going to be placed on the injured list. In the […]

Cody Bellinger Placed On Paternity List

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger has been placed on the paternity list on Tuesday. The left-handed slugger will be away from the team for a few days for the birth of his child. In a corresponding move, the Cubs have recalled Nelson Velasquez from Triple-A to take Bellinger's spot on the active roster. The 24-year-old […]

Tony Gonsolin Will Start Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (ankle) will make his season debut on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to manager Dave Roberts.

Joey Gallo Resting On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. This appears to be a routine rest day for Gallo versus a left-handed starting pitcher. Gallo has been off to a decent start, hitting .243 with six home runs and 12 RBI in 12 games this […]

Luis Arraez Continues To Sit Out

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (knee) will remain out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This marks the third game in a row that Arraez has missed due to left knee soreness. He was also dealing with a left finger issue last week, so maybe Arraez re-aggravated that injury. […]

MJ Melendez Remains Out On Tuesday

Kansas City Royals catcher MJ Melendez (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The left-handed slugger will miss his second straight game after exiting early on Sunday due to back tightness. The team hasn't placed Melendez on the injured list, so hopefully this is only a minor injury. […]
