Samuel Basallo Collects First Career Hit

Baltimore Orioles catcher/first baseman Samuel Basallo made his MLB debut against the Houston Astros on Sunday.

He would finish this game […]

Juan Mejia Earns First Career Save

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Juan Mejia was asked to close down Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It wasn't a pretty outing as Mejia allowed three straight hits to load up the bases. He gave up an earned run on a sacrifice fly, but was able to earn his first career save. Mejia normally doesn't […]

Andrew Kittredge Earns Save on Sunday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Andrew Kittredge was tasked with holding a one-run lead against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. On Saturday, manager Craig Counsell said Daniel Palencia was unavailable because he was feeling under the weather. That was likely the case again as Kittredge was asked to close out this game. He tossed a perfect […]

Konnor Griffin Promoted to Double-A

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin has earned himself a promotion to Double-A Altoona on Sunday. This shouldn't come as a shock given how well Griffin was hitting in Single-A. Griffin was slashing .331/.414/.525 with 16 home runs, 71 RBI, and 59 stolen bases in Single-A this season. The 19-year-old is looking fantastic in his first […]

Tory Horton Misses Sunday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton (ankle) did not participate in practice on Sunday.

Kenneth Walker III Practices in Full on Sunday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (foot) was looking good on the practice field on Sunday. Walker was able to practice in full, after dealing with foot soreness.

Harrison Bryant Traded to Texans

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded tight end Harrison Bryant to the Houston Texans on Sunday. Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick will head to Houston in exchange for wide receiver John Metchie III and a 2026 sixth-round pick. This seems like a good move for Houston to add another tight end to the mix. Dalton […]

Ketel Marte Resting on Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This appears to be a routine rest day for Marte after he started in each of the last 12 games. Marte is in the middle of a hot stretch at the plate. Over the last […]

Josh Lowe Remains Sidelined on Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants.

Casey Schmitt Absent on Sunday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Casey Schmitt (forearm) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Schmitt was hit by a pitch on the forearm during Friday's contest. The X-rays came back negative, so Schmitt shouldn't require a stint on the injured list. He sat out on Saturday […]

Paul Goldschmidt Playing on Sunday

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (knee) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Goldschmidt is back in the mix after missing three games due to right knee soreness. He missed the first two games of this series, but will at least get to play one […]

Thomas Hatch Starting on Sunday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Thomas Hatch will take the mound against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.

Emeka Egbuka Scores on Saturday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka didn't see a ton of action, but was able to help his team during their second preseason matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. Egbuka was on the field for the first three drives and made an impact during his little time on the field. The rookie wideout […]

Bucky Irving Rushes Eight Times

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving played the first three offensive drives during Saturday's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Irving was one of the few offensive skill-position players to actually take the field on Saturday. The 22-year-old didn't have a ton of success as he rushed eight times for 12 yards on the […]

Teddy Bridgewater Tosses Two Touchdowns

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater drew the start under center for Saturday's preseason contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He […]

Casey Mize Records 10 Strikeouts in Win

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize had his swing-and-miss stuff going for him during Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Justin Verlander Looks Excellent on Saturday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Justin Verlander posted arguably his best outing of the season versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.

Verlander has looked better on the mound lately […]

Adrian Houser Tosses Five Scoreless Innings

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Adrian Houser was able to bounce back on the mound during Saturday's outing against the San Francisco Giants. Before this outing, Houser was blasted for nine runs on 17 hits over his first two starts with the Rays. The veteran right-hander was able to settle down on Saturday. Houser tossed […]

Luis Morales Earns First Win

Athletics starting pitcher Luis Morales looked sharp on the mound during Saturday's outing against the Los Angeles Angels.

This time around, Morales was able to locate his pitches much better on the mound. […]

Nolan McLean to Remain in Rotation

According to Laura Albanese, New York Mets starting pitcher Nolan McLean will remain in the starting rotation going forward. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering how well McLean looked during his MLB debut. The 24-year-old tossed 5.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, while walking four batters, and striking out eight. There are […]

Marcus Semien Avoids Serious Injury

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien (hand) was absent from the starting lineup during Saturday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Semien missed this game after waking up on Saturday with a swollen wrist after getting hit by a pitch during Friday's contest. He underwent X-rays which came back negative for any fractures or serious […]

Vinnie Pasquantino Removed Early on Saturday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (illness) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Pasquantino was pulled out of the game after his first-inning strikeout due to a heat related illness. This doesn't sound like a serious issue, so Pasquantino should be back in the lineup in a day or […]

Kyle Stowers Heads to Injured List With Left-Side Strain

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (side) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Stowers was reportedly held out on Saturday as a precaution, but manager Clayton McCullough announced he's going to the shelf due to a Grade 1 left side strain.

Zack Wheeler Placed on Injured List With Blood Clot in Shoulder

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday. Wheeler is going to miss an unknown period of time due to blood clots near his right shoulder. This could explain why Wheeler has been struggling on the mound lately. The Phillies will take the cautious approach and shut […]

Daniel Palencia Unavailable Due to Illness

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Daniel Palencia (illness) didn't take the mound during the ninth inning of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
