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.

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 […]

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) has been scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Houston Astros.

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (eye) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

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.

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.

Kevin Durant Solid In Game 6 Loss

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 […]

Jayson Tatum Comes Up Clutch

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum got off to a horrible start during Thursday's Game 6 versus the Philadelphia 76ers. He shot 0-for-5 in the first quarter and it only got worse from there. Tatum was 0-for-10 heading into halftime, but it didn't get much better after the halftime. He knocked down 1-for-13 three point attempts […]
