Yandy Diaz To Undergo Further Testing

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (groin) was forced to exit early during Sunday's victory over the New York Yankees. The right-handed slugger slipped at third base and re-aggravated his groin issue. The team is uncertain of the severity of the injury, so Diaz will undergo an MRI on Monday. Hopefully, it's only a day-to-day […]

Raisel Iglesias Struggles On Sunday

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Raisel Iglesias missed the beginning of the season due to injury. He made his season debut last week, so it could take him some time to get back into a groove. On Sunday, Iglesias took his first blown save of the save as he coughed up two runs to the Toronto […]

Dylan Floro Records Second Save

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro was called upon to protect a two-run lead against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. The right-hander posted an ugly outing on Friday, but was able to redeem himself here. Floro tossed a scoreless ninth inning to earn his second save of the season. The 32-year-old has pitched scoreless ball […]

Joey Gallo Expected To Play On Monday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The left-handed slugger was pulled in the seventh inning due to hamstring tightness. It sounds like Gallo attempted to talk his way into staying in the game, but the team decided to take the cautious approach in […]

Eric Lauer To Be Skipped In Rotation

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Eric Lauer will have his next turn in the rotation skipped. The 27-year-old will be available out of the bullpen, but will take a backseat to Colin Rea for at least one start. Lauer has seen his velocity drop this season, so possibly that's why the Brewers are pulling him out […]

Chas McCormick Remains Out On Saturday

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. He continues to deal with a lingering back issue that has forced him to miss four of the last five games. McCormick returned from the injured list on Monday, so hopefully he won't need another […]

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (finger) is officially out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Yasmani Grandal Scratched On Saturday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) has been scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Houston Astros. The veteran catcher was removed early during Thursday's game due to hamstring tightness.

Salvador Perez Returning On Saturday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (eye) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 33-year-old was scratched from Friday's contest due to vision problems. He reportedly underwent treatment for his issues, so it appears to have worked. Perez will bat third and start behind the plate versus right-hander […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Removed During Saturday's Game

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (leg) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The 25-year-old collided with the center field wall while attempting to make a catch in the eighth inning. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but appeared to be in a ton of […]

James Outman Absent On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. The left-handed slugger will receive a rare off day here. It seems like a good time with left-hander Blake Snell on the mound for San Diego. Outman has been hot to start the season, hitting […]

Salvador Perez Scratched On Friday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (vision) has been scratched from Friday's starting lineup against the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran backup was removed from the lineup due to vision related issues. Royals manager Matt Quatraro mentioned Perez underwent some treatment to help with his vision problem.

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 9. The 25-year-old suffered the left hamstring strain on Tuesday, but the team was hopeful he'd be able to avoid going on the injured list. Unfortunately, Hoerner hasn't progressed as well as the organization hoped. They'll opt to […]

He returns here after exiting early during Thursday's game due to neck tightness. Luckily, it was a minor issue and Franco is back in the lineup on Friday. He'll bat second and play shortstop […]

Yoan Moncada Activated, Starting On Friday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The switch-hitting slugger returns after missing the last month due to a lingering back issue. Moncada appears ready to return after hitting .308 with two home runs and five RBI in nine games with Triple-A Charlotte. He'll […]

Drew Rasmussen Placed On 60-Day Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen (elbow) has been placed on the 60-day injured list. This is shocking news after Rasmussen seemed fine after throwing seven scoreless innings on Thursday. The Rays have already placed Rasmussen on the 60-day injured list, which is never a good sign. Team president of baseball operations Erik Neander […]

Myles Murphy Signs Rookie Deal

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Myles Murphy has signed a four-year deal with the organization. The team selected Murphy with the No. 28 overall pick in the first round of the 2023 draft.

Tyree Wilson Agrees To Rookie Deal

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Tyree Wilson has signed a four-year deal with the organization. The team selected Wilson with the No. 7 overall pick in the most recent draft.

Tom Brady Could Join Raiders Ownership

There has already been talk about quarterback Tom Brady coming out of retirement to play for the Miami Dolphins.

The 45-year-old doesn't seem ready to give […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Trying Out For Falcons

Free-agent tight end J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is reportedly trying out for the Atlanta Falcons. The 26-year-old is a former second round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles from the 2019 draft. He put together three lackluster seasons at wideout before converting to tight end last season. He was traded to the Seattle Seahawks, but was cut by […]

Juan Yepez Moves Up In Batting Order

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Juan Yepez has hit his way up the batting order. In five games, Yepez is hitting .316/.350/.474 with one homer and one RBI this season. It's a small sample size, but the Cardinals will ride with the hot bat. Yepez will move into the five spot and cover left field against […]

Rafael Devers Returning To The Lineup

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The left-handed slugger received a routine rest day on Wednesday before the team had a scheduled off day on Thursday. Devers appears to be rested and ready to get back on the field. He'll […]

Chase Anderson Claimed By Rockies

The Colorado Rockies have claimed starting pitcher Chase Anderson off waivers on Friday. The right-hander was recently designated for assignment by the Tampa Bay Rays. The 35-year-old has bounced around quite a bit over the last few years. It's worth noting that Anderson threw five scoreless innings over two relief appearances with the Rays. It's […]

Max Scherzer To Continue Being Monitored

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (neck) won't take the mound for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. The veteran starter is dealing with a neck issue, but it's not believed to be serious. However, the Mets are concerned about Scherzer's shoulder issue. It is being reported that this scapula issue will need to […]

Tylor Megill To Start On Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill will be tasked with taking the mound against the Washington Nationals on Friday. The Mets had each starter listed as TBA coming into this series. That makes sense considering the uncertainty over Max Scherzer's availability right now. Megill has been disappointing through seven starts this season. He gave […]

Kevin Durant Solid In Game 6 Loss

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant got off to a slow start during Thursday's Game 6 against the Denver Nuggets. The All-Star forward only hit 1-of-10 shots from the floor to begin the contest. He ended up getting into a flow, but it was too late by then. Durant finished the game with 21 points, five […]

Cameron Payne Goes Off In Loss

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne stepped up and gave this team a much needed boost on offense on Thursday. The Suns were without Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton, but oddly enough Payne is the one that steps up. He made his first seven shots from beyond the arc as Payne ready to play. Sadly, the […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Surprises On Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope got off to a hot start during Thursday's Game 6 against the Phoenix Suns. He scored 17 points in the first quarter to help Denver take a 18-point lead into the second quarter. He cooled down after that, but his first quarter performance was enough of a jumpstart for Denver. […]

Nikola Jokic Posts Triple-Double In Game 6

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was seemingly unstoppable during Thursday's Game 6 against the Phoenix Suns. For the first time in this series, Jokic posted a triple-double. He now has five in this postseason and 11 in his playoff career. The absence of Deandre Ayton certainly helped Jokic in this contest. However, Jokic was making […]

The MVP knocked down a pull-up jumper to tie the game at 81 with six minutes left. After that, Embiid went 0-for-2 from the floor as the Sixers dropped Game 6. Embiid finished with 26 points, 10 […]
