Taylor Hearn Tosses Three Scoreless Innings

Texas Rangers long reliever Taylor Hearn was given the starting nod against the Houston Astros on Sunday. Normally, Hearn operates has the long reliever out of the bullpen. However, he was given a start on Sunday and was quite impressive. He threw three scoreless innings, no hits allowed, one walk, and three strikeouts. Sadly, the […]

Kyle Gibson Walks Eight Batters In Loss

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kyle Gibson had all sorts of command problems against the Houston Astros on Saturday. He tossed six innings, four hits allowed, two earned runs, eight walks, and four strikeouts in the 4-1 defeat. He was able to escape most of the trouble, but the offense did nothing to help him. He'll […]

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies didn't have the best outing at the plate during Saturday's contest. He went 1-for-6 with his lone hit being a three-run home run in the eighth inning.

Joc Pederson Collects Four Hits In Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson was on fire at the plate during Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He went 4-for-6 at the plate with a home run, four RBI, and three runs scored. The 29-year-old is 9-for-33 with two home runs and eight RBI since being acquired by the Braves. He'll certainly get plenty […]

Nate Lowe Knocks In Two Runs

Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe continues to show that he's an asset to this offense. On Friday, Lowe went 1-for-4 with a triple and two RBI during the 7-3 loss to the Houston Astros.

Kiner-Falefa is […]

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (head) was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the New York Yankees.

Kike Hernandez Batting First On Saturday

Boston Red Sox utility player Kike Hernandez remains in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the New York Yankees. He'll bat leadoff and cover second base versus righty Jameson Taillon. Normally, Hernandez isn't a huge factor with the bat, but that changed this season. Since the All-Star break, Hernandez is hitting .333/.406/.815 with seven extra-base […]

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. He has been out since early June due to a hamstring issue.

Josh Rojas Remains Out On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Josh Rojas (finger) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He'll miss his second straight game due to a dislocated finger.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger didn't look like himself during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Despite a rough day at the plate, Haniger is […]

Kris Bryant Gets Pitch Hit Appearance On Thursday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hamstring) got back onto the field during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Joc Pederson Struggles On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson was unable to get much going at the plate during Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. In fact, Pederson went 0-for-5 at the plate versus lefty Matt Moore. To be fair, Pederson does not hit left pitching well, so this wasn't an ideal matchup for him. He has already shown […]

Orlando Arcia Smacks Solo Blast In Victory

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia has struggled during a majority of his time with the big league club. However, he finally had something go his way during Thursday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run off lefty Matt Moore in the fourth inning.

Donovan Walton Recalled, Yohan Ramirez Optioned

Seattle Mariners infielder Donovan Walton has been recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. He is slashing .206/.254/.365 with a pair of home runs over 63 at-bats this season.

Twins Acquire Joe Ryan, Drew Strotman From Rays

The Minnesota Twins have acquired right-handed pitchers Joe Ryan and Drew Strotman from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for designated hitter Nelson Cruz and left-handed pitcher Calvin Faucher.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Knocks In Two Runs

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa appears to be breaking out of his little slump at the plate. On Thursday, he went 1-for-5 with two RBI during the 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Obviously, it wasn't a great outing at the plate, but at least he knocked in two runs. The Rangers will certainly take […]

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez put together one of his better performances on Thursday. He went 3-for-4 with one RBI, and a triple during the 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers.
