Shea Langeliers Exits Early on Thursday

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (side) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki (shoulder) was seen playing catch at Dodger Stadium ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the New York Mets.

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Smith will now sit out for the second time in this series.

Jacob Wilson Absent on Tuesday With Neck Injury

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

Colton Cowser Activated on Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser (thumb) was activated off the 60-day injured list on Monday. Cowser is finally back with the team after missing a majority of the season due to a fractured left thumb.

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis will head to the bench ahead of Monday's game against the Athletics.

Miami Marlins shortstop Xavier Edwards made his first start since returning from the injured list on Sunday. The San Francisco Giants pitchers had no answers for Edwards during this game.

Luckily, the X-rays were […]

Corbin Burnes Exits Early Due to Arm Injury

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Corbin Burnes (arm) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's start against the Washington Nationals.
