Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez (knee) is not expected to play in Monday's matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays. He was struck in the knee by a foul tip during Sunday's game.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Doubles In Blowout Loss

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa was one of the few bright spots for this offense on Sunday. He went 1-for-3 with a double off lefty Steven Matz during the 10-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. This game was over in the second inning and the Rangers didn't put up much of a fight. Kiner-Falefa […]

On Sunday, Foltynewicz allowed 10 earned runs, eight hits, two walks, and zero strikeouts through 1 2/3 innings. During that time span, Foltynewicz allowed four home runs to the Blue Jays.

Stephen Vogt Records Three Hits In Team Debut

Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt looked solid at the plate during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored during the 7-5 defeat. The 36-year-old veteran should get plenty of chances until Travis d'Arnaud (thumb) returns at some point. The hope is that the […]

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (thumb) will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Sonny Gray Activated, Rocked By Brewers

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (ribs) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. He had been sidelined since July 8 due to a strained rib cage muscle.

Jazz Chisholm Suffers Minor Injury

Miami Marlins shortstop Jazz Chisholm (shoulder) was forced to exit early after diving for a ball during Sunday's contest. Manager Don Mattingly mentioned after the game that the X-rays came back negative. Chisholm will undergo additional testing, but it sounds like a left shoulder contusion. It wouldn't be shocking to see Chisholm miss a few […]

Drew Smyly Gets No-Decision On Sunday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly was handed a no-decision during his outing versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. He went 5 2/3 innings, four hits allowed, three earned runs, two walks, and struck out six batters. It wasn't a bad outing for Smyly, but he allowed the game-tying home run before exiting the […]

Joey Gallo Hits Triple In Game One On Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo is normally known for his unbelievable power at the plate.

That triple was Gallo's first […]

Nate Lowe Doubles In Loss To Jays

Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe was one of the few batters who actually showed up for this offense on Sunday.

Kolby Allard Rocked For Five Runs On Sunday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard did not look sharp during Sunday's matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays. Allard drew the starting assignment for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.

Braves Acquire Stephen Vogt From Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Stephen Vogt has been traded to the Braves in exchange for infielder Mason Berne. Vogt is hitting .212/.307/.386 with five homers over 151 plate appearances. He'll get some playing time against right-handed pitching, but isn't a huge upgrade for the Braves. Berne is a solid contact hitter without much pop and has […]
