San Diego Padres relief pitcher Josh Hader was tasked with shutting the door versus the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees.

The right-hander figures to spend a few months […]

James Karinchak Optioned To Minors

Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher James Karinchak has been optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. This is a bit of a surprise considering Karinchak has been pitching fairly well this season.

Ryan Mountcastle Sitting Out On Friday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (illness) is absent from Friday' starting lineup against the Kansas City Royals.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias (hamstring) was expected to make his return from the injured list and pitch against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.

Pierce Johnson Removed From Closer Role

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Pierce Johnson has been officially removed from the closer role, according to manager Bud Black.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Yordan Alvarez Officially Placed On Injured List

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. This was expected after manager Dusty Baker mentioned Alvarez was likely to end up missing time.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. To Miss Fifth Straight Game

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers.
