Anthony Rendon Held Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (shin) will remain out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Tigers Throw Combined No-Hitter

The Detroit Tigers have made history versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Right-hander Matt Manning did most of the heavy lifting. He went 6 2/3 hitless innings before being relieved at 91 pitches. It was hard to imagine him going the distance with his pitch count already that high. Reliever Jason Foley came on […]

Jordan Hicks Fires Scoreless Inning

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jordan Hicks was called upon to hold a three-run lead versus the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. The right-hander allowed two one-out singles, but settled down after that. He struck out Jake Burger before getting Gavin Sheets to line out to end the contest. The hard-throwing righty earned his seventh […]

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe has been placed on the family medical emergency list on Saturday.

Fantasy managers will have to wait and see if Lowe misses more time […]

Miguel Vargas Not In The Lineup On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Miguel Vargas is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This appears to be a routine rest day for Vargas who has struggled heavily at the plate this season. He's slashing .197/.300/.370 with seven home runs and 32 RBI in 69 games. Mookie Betts […]

Jeimer Candelario Out Of The Lineup

Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 29-year-old will sit out this contest after getting hit in the knee by a pitch during Thursday's game.

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 next step is for Woodruff to take the mound for a bullpen session on Sunday. It sounds like the 30-year-old will stay in Milwaukee over the All-Star break to continue his rehab program. The expectation […]

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers.

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 left-handed slugger missed Thursday's contest due to left hamstring soreness. It sounds like Baty is being considered day-to-day right now. Honestly, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Mets give Baty a […]

Hunter Brown To Start On Friday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown will take the mound versus the Seattle Mariners on Friday. The Astros are shaking up their rotation with Framber Valdez (ankle) getting an extra day of rest before starting on Saturday. Brown has been relatively solid throughout the first half of the season.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday.

The Cardinals will give him some extra […]

Nico Collins Looking Great In Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is reportedly quarterback C.J. Stroud's favorite target in offseason practices, according to DJ Bien-Aime. It's only pad-less summer practices, but it's still good to see Collins playing this well. Collins has a chance to really set himself apart this season with minimal competition at the wide receiver position. Collins […]

Tank Dell Surprising In Camp

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been providing excellent route running skills during recent practices. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Dell has been open a lot during OTAs.

Jets Gaining Momentum On Dalvin Cook

Free-agent running back Dalvin Cook remains one of the biggest names available on the open market. The 27-year-old is expected to sign sooner rather than later with training camp quickly approaching.

Utah Jazz forwards Brice Sensabaugh (knee) and Taylor Hendricks (hamstring) remain out for Thursday's Summer League matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The next […]

Keyonte George Available On Thursday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (foot) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 19-year-old suffered a left foot injury during a Summer League matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. The good new is, George appears to be fine and shouldn't be limited during this game. The 16th […]

Bulls Waive Marko Simonovic

The Chicago Bulls have waived center Marko Simonovic on Thursday. He was the 44th overall pick during the 2020 NBA Draft.
