Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech (shoulder) is expected to make his return to the starting rotation after the All-Star break.

Alek Manoah Returning On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah has been recalled to make the start against the Detroit Tigers on Friday. The 25-year-old was demoted in early June after posting a horrendous 6.36 ERA through 13 starts. He was roughed up in rookie-ball, but bounced back nicely during his start in Double-A. It appears the Blue […]

Anthony Edwards Gets Massive Extension

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards agreed to a five-year, $260 million max extension with the organization. The 21-year-old is one of the brightest young stars in the game, so it's not surprising to see the T-Wolves lock him up. Edwards averaged career-highs in points (24.6), rebounds (5.8), assists (4.4) last season. He'll be the team's […]

Mason Plumlee Returning To Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a one-year deal with center Mason Plumlee on Monday. The 33-year-old has decided to re-sign with the organization on a one-year, $5 million deal.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Yankees. The 24-year-old was hit by a pitch on the left hand during Sunday's game. As a precaution, the O's will hold Westburg out of this game. It wouldn't be shocking to see Westburg sit a […]

Austin Hays Absent On Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (wrist) is absent from Monday's starting lineup versus the New York Yankees.

Nick Madrigal Removed Early On Monday

Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Steven Kwan Considered Day-To-Day

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (shoulder) was held out of Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs.

The […]

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Carlos Estevez was called upon to protect a three-run lead versus the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. The right-hander allowed a leadoff single to Jake McCarthy to begin the ninth inning. However, Estevez battled back and retired the next three batters.

Abbott left the game with […]

Garrett Whitlock To Undergo MRI On Monday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Whitlock (elbow) was forced to exit early during his start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Isaac Paredes (rib) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners.
