The 20-year-old allowed three runs over five […]

Kansas City Royals infielder Nicky Lopez has been traded to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for left-hander Taylor Hearn.

He's slashing […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox.
