Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (oblique) will travel with the team for their upcoming road trip to Colorado. The 33-year-old was seen running the bases prior to Sunday's game.

Andruw Monasterio will cover third […]

Tommy Pham To Sit Out On Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Tommy Pham is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Jake Fraley Moves Up In Batting Order

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley will move up in the batting order for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Normally, Fraley bats fifth in the order versus right-handed starters.
