Josh Lowe Returning on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Lowe will return to the mix after missing each of the last three games due to right oblique tightness. The 27-year-old has been struggling at the plate this month, so maybe a few […]

Jacob deGrom Being Skipped in Rotation Due to Shoulder Fatigue

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) has been scratched from Wednesday's start against the Kansas City Royals. This is never something you want to see given deGrom's injury history. The reasoning for deGrom being pulled off this start is because of right-shoulder fatigue. It sounds like this move is more precautionary with deGrom already […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Considered Day-to-Day

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) appears to have avoided a serious injury. Guerrero was forced to make an early exit from Monday's game due to a hamstring issue. He underwent an MRI that only revealed left hamstring inflammation. For now, Guerrero is being considered day-to-day, so it sounds like he'll avoid […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Returning on Friday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (finger) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday, according to manager Joe Espada. McCullers has been sidelined since mid-July due to a blister on his finger. The right-hander looked good during his most recent rehab outing where he allowed […]

Johan Oviedo Will Start on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Johan Oviedo will be recalled to take the mound against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday, according to interim manager Don Kelly. Oviedo has only pitched one inning for the Pirates this season. He tossed one inning, allowing two earned runs on three hits in an outing against the San Francisco […]

Jake Fraley Claimed Off Waivers by Braves

The Atlanta Braves have claimed outfielder Jake Fraley (knee) off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds. Fraley was designated for assignment by the Reds over the weekend. The veteran outfielder has struggled with a .232/.332/.387 slash line with six home runs, 23 RBI, and four steals across 67 games this season. He'll head into his final […]

Victor Robles Issued 10-Game Suspension

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (shoulder) was issued a 10-game suspension for his actions during a rehab game on Sunday. Robles threw his bat towards pitcher Joey Estes after getting hit by a pitch in the third inning. That resulted in Robles getting immediately ejected from the contest. The suspension must be served at the […]

Cristian Javier Expected to Make Next Start

Houston Astros starting pitcher Cristian Javier (illness) is expected to be fine in time for his next start this weekend against the Baltimore Orioles. Javier was pulled from his latest start over the weekend due to illness. He didn't travel with the team for their series against the Detroit Tigers. The Astros don't exactly need […]

Chris Sale Making Final Rehab Start This Weekend

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale (ribs) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Double-A Columbus on Saturday. Sale threw four innings during his most recent rehab outing on Sunday. If everything goes well, Sale should be cleared to rejoin the Braves rotation after his start on Saturday. The southpaw has been sidelined since […]

Austin Riley to Run Again on Tuesday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley (abdominal) was able to run the bases on Sunday. However, Riley reportedly felt abdominal discomfort afterwards. Despite that, Riley is scheduled to run again on Tuesday, so hopefully there will be better results. Riley has been sidelined since early August due to an abdominal issue. There doesn't appear to […]

Bryce Miller to be Activated on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller (elbow) will be activated off the 15-day injured list and start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday, according to manager Dan Wilson. This is great news as Miller has been sidelined since early June due to right elbow inflammation. He looked solid enough during his latest rehab start to […]

Brendan Donovan Heading to Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Finally, Donovan is placed on the IL after missing seven of the last nine games due to a lingering groin issue. It's a shame considering how well he has been playing, but Donovan […]

Pavin Smith Activated, Playing on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Pavin Smith (oblique) was activated off the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Smith is back in the mix after being sidelined since early July due to a right oblique strain. Before going down, Smith was slashing .261/.371/.446 with eight home runs and 28 RBI across […]

Samuel Basallo Collects First Career Hit

Baltimore Orioles catcher/first baseman Samuel Basallo made his MLB debut against the Houston Astros on Sunday. It was a fairly quiet day for Basallo, but he was able to make some noise late in the game. Basallo smacked a two-RBI single in the eighth inning for his first career hit. He would finish this game […]

Juan Mejia Earns First Career Save

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Juan Mejia was asked to close down Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It wasn't a pretty outing as Mejia allowed three straight hits to load up the bases. He gave up an earned run on a sacrifice fly, but was able to earn his first career save. Mejia normally doesn't […]

Jordan Westburg Knocks in Five Runs

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg continued his hot stretch of play during Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. His biggest hit of the day came in the form of a three-run home run off right-hander Shawn Dubin in the fifth inning. Westburg would finish his day 4-for-5 with a homer, five RBI, and two runs […]

Javier Assad Pitches Well on Sunday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Javier Assad bounced back nicely during his start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. The right-hander was hit around for four runs on eight hits during his first start of the season against the Toronto Blue Jays. Assad looked much better on the mound this time around. He tossed four innings, […]

Andrew Kittredge Earns Save on Sunday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Andrew Kittredge was tasked with holding a one-run lead against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. On Saturday, manager Craig Counsell said Daniel Palencia was unavailable because he was feeling under the weather. That was likely the case again as Kittredge was asked to close out this game. He tossed a perfect […]

Konnor Griffin Promoted to Double-A

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin has earned himself a promotion to Double-A Altoona on Sunday. This shouldn't come as a shock given how well Griffin was hitting in Single-A. Griffin was slashing .331/.414/.525 with 16 home runs, 71 RBI, and 59 stolen bases in Single-A this season. The 19-year-old is looking fantastic in his first […]

Tory Horton Misses Sunday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton (ankle) did not participate in practice on Sunday. This doesn't come as a surprise after Horton suffered an ankle injury during the second preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday. The injury isn't considered serious, but the Seahawks are taking a cautious approach right now. The rookie […]

Kenneth Walker III Practices in Full on Sunday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (foot) was looking good on the practice field on Sunday. Walker was able to practice in full, after dealing with foot soreness. The Seahawks have been careful with Walker early in camp because of his foot issue. Despite that, head coach Mike Macdonald said the plan is for […]

Bryce Perkins Signing with Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have signed quarterback Bryce Perkins on Sunday. The Panthers are in need of another quarterback with Andy Dalton (elbow) sidelined right now. Perkins hasn't played in the NFL since the 2022 season with the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old has been lighting it up in the UFL, which earned him another shot […]

Harrison Bryant Traded to Texans

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded tight end Harrison Bryant to the Houston Texans on Sunday. Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick will head to Houston in exchange for wide receiver John Metchie III and a 2026 sixth-round pick. This seems like a good move for Houston to add another tight end to the mix. Dalton […]

Ketel Marte Resting on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This appears to be a routine rest day for Marte after he started in each of the last 12 games. Marte is in the middle of a hot stretch at the plate. Over the last […]

Josh Lowe Remains Sidelined on Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. This comes a day after Lowe was scratched ahead of Saturday's contest due to oblique tightness. The organization is hopeful to avoid a stint on the injured list, but oblique issues sometimes are […]

Casey Schmitt Absent on Sunday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Casey Schmitt (forearm) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Schmitt was hit by a pitch on the forearm during Friday's contest. The X-rays came back negative, so Schmitt shouldn't require a stint on the injured list. He sat out on Saturday […]

Paul Goldschmidt Playing on Sunday

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (knee) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Goldschmidt is back in the mix after missing three games due to right knee soreness. He missed the first two games of this series, but will at least get to play one […]

Thomas Hatch Starting on Sunday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Thomas Hatch will take the mound against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. The Twins are in desperate need of pitching with Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) and Pablo Lopez (shoulder) both sidelined right now. Hatch should be able to offer some length after throwing 4.1 innings in each of his last two outings. […]

Emeka Egbuka Scores on Saturday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka didn't see a ton of action, but was able to help his team during their second preseason matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. Egbuka was on the field for the first three drives and made an impact during his little time on the field. The rookie wideout […]

Bucky Irving Rushes Eight Times

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving played the first three offensive drives during Saturday's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Irving was one of the few offensive skill-position players to actually take the field on Saturday. The 22-year-old didn't have a ton of success as he rushed eight times for 12 yards on the […]
