Enrique Hernandez to Injured List, James Outman Recalled

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday.

Luckily, Hernandez is dealing with inflammation in his non-throwing arm, so hopefully he'll be able to […]

Hunter Greene Suffers Setback on Monday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene (groin) was expected to take the ball for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

For now, the Reds are taking it day-by-day, but Greene figures […]

He knocked down 3-of-7 field goal attempts for 10 points with two rebounds, and two three-pointers in the win. James is hopeful to earn a bigger role in the rotation […]

Harrison Ingram Limited on Sunday

San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Ingram (groin) was held out of the second half of Sunday's summer league matchup against the Golden State Warriors.

The Milwaukee Bucks have re-signed guard Ryan Rollins to a long term extension on Sunday. The two sides have agreed on a three-year, $12 million contract.

Max Clark, Kevin McGonigle, Josue Briceno Promoted to Double-A

Detroit Tigers outfielder Max Clark, infielder Kevin McGonigle, and catcher Josue Briceno have all been promoted to Double-A on Sunday.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish (elbow) will be activated off the 60-day injured list and start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. Finally, Darvish will take the mound after missing basically the first half of the season due to right elbow inflammation. The right-hander threw a 64-pitch simulated game on Tuesday. That being […]

Nationals Fire Dave Martinez, Mike Rizzo

The Washington Nationals made some major moves on Sunday. They've decided to clean house by firing manager Dave Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo.

Tarik Skubal Records 10 Strikeouts

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal was once again excellent on the mound during Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Unsurprisingly, the Guardians hitters had basically no answers for Skubal throughout this outing. The southpaw tossed seven shutout innings, allowing three hits, zero walks, and 10 strikeouts in the no-decision. The Tigers bats didn't come […]

Shinnosuke Ogasawara Struggles in Debut

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Shinnosuke Ogasawara made his MLB debut against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. It was a rough debut for Ogasawara who gave up four earned runs in the first inning. He never really settled down as the Red Sox hit him around before he was pulled midway into the third inning. […]

Jordan Hicks Earns First Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Jordan Hicks was called upon to hold a three-run lead versus the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Normally, Aroldis Chapman serves as the closer in Boston, but he was used in the eighth inning to face James Wood. It wasn't a perfect outing from Hicks, but he was able to get […]

Maikel Garcia Absent on Sunday

Kansas City Royals infielder Maikel Garcia is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The left-hander still has plenty of work ahead of him, but […]

David Morgan Named Opener on Sunday

San Diego Padres relief pitcher David Morgan will serve as the opener ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. It looks like the Padres have decided to go bullpen-game here.

Teoscar Hernandez Resting on Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. This appears to be a routine rest day for Hernandez who has started in each of the last three games. During that span, Hernandez has gone 1-for-10 at the plate, so a rest day looks […]

Tommy Edman Heading to the Bench

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. This appears to be a routine rest day for Edman who has started in each of the last six games. During that span, Edman went 2-for-17 at the plate, so he could use a day […]

Daniel Lynch IV Heads to Injured List

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Daniel Lynch IV (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The left-hander is dealing with left elbow nerve irritation. There is no word on how long Lynch is expected to be sidelined. The expectation is Lynch is probably be sidelined for […]

Kris Bryant Considering Experimental Treatment

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (back) has been sidelined most of the season with lumbar degenerative disease.

Cody Poteet to Begin Throwing Soon

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Cody Poteet (shoulder) recently received an injection on his injured shoulder.

The hope is that DeLuca can begin […]

Cade Povich Plays Catch on Saturday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Cade Povich (hip) was able to play catch without any issues on Saturday. This is good news for the right-hander who has been out since mid-June due to left hip soreness. The Orioles shut down Povich last week after he was hit hard during a rehab outing. A second opinion confirmed […]

Zach Eflin Resumes Throwing

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Zach Eflin (back) was able to resume throwing the ball on Saturday. That is positive news for Eflin who has been sidelined since the end of June due to lower back discomfort. The fact Eflin is throwing is a good sign, but he remains without a timetable to return. He figures […]

Rhys Hoskins Unlikely to Play on Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (thumb) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins. Hoskins jammed his thumb while being tagged out in the fourth inning of Saturday's contest. The X-rays came back negative, so it doesn't sound like too serious of an issue. However, Brewers manager Pat […]
