Jeimer Candelario Out Of The Lineup

Brandon Woodruff To Throw Bullpen Session On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) looked sharp during his throwing session on Friday, according to Adam McCalvy.

The expectation […]

Adley Rutschman Resting On Friday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This appears to be a routine rest day for the All-Star backstop.

Brett Baty Remains Out On Friday

New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres.

The next […]

The 19-year-old suffered a left foot injury during a Summer League matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.

The Angels didn't put Rendon on the […]

Shohei Ohtani Will Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (finger) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres.
