Shea Langeliers Takes Batting Practice

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (oblique) was able to take part in batting practice ahead of Saturday's game. Langeliers looked good swinging the bat and was crushing the ball, so it sounds like he's making good progress. He's currently working his way back from an oblique injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list in […]

Bryce Harper Hitting Soft Toss

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (hand) progressed to hitting soft toss this weekend. Harper has been slowly ramping up his activities but appears to still have quite a while to go before returning to the Phillies lineup.

Jose Berrios Looks Sharp on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios looked sharp on the mound during Saturday's outing against the Chicago White Sox.

Cal Raleigh Hits 30th Homer

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh continued his power hitting ways during Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

He'd finish his […]

Chris Martin Earns Second Save

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Chris Martin was asked to close out the game in the ninth inning during Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Lance McCullers Jr. Resumes Throwing

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (foot) was able to play catch ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The plan is for McCullers to throw again on Sunday.

Landen Roupp Throws Six Shutout Innings

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp looked strong on the mound during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It's nice to see Roupp rebounding after giving up six earned runs during his last outing.

Max Kranick Heading to Injured List

New York Mets relief pitcher Max Kranick (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list. He underwent an MRI that revealed a flexor strain in his right elbow, so Kranick will miss some time. The expectation is that Kranick is going to miss 3-4 weeks of action. That being said, Kranick is unlikely to […]

Tyler Glasnow Beginning Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is set to make a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Glasnow threw a 40-pitch live batting practice session earlier in the week.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Wants to Participate in Home Run Derby

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. said on Friday that he'd participate in the upcoming Home Run Derby if invited this year. The All-Star game will be held in Truist Park this year, so it's only fitting that Acuna gets involved. The league always wants to have a home team representative for the tournament. Acuna […]

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Robert Suarez and the team's manager Mike Shildt have been suspended for their actions during Thursday's contest.

This happened after […]

Logan O'Hoppe Absent on Friday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Astros. O'Hoppe will now head to the bench for the second straight game.

Jake Burger Exits Early on Friday

Texas Rangers corner infielder Jake Burger (side) was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The expectation is that Burger will undergo further […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Playing on Friday

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (hand) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Xazavian Valladay Waived by Saints

New Orleans Saints running back Xazavian Valladay was released by the organization on Friday. This isn't a shocking move given the Saints recently signed running back Cam Akers.

Chig Okonkwo Building Chemistry with Cam Ward

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo is reportedly looking good in recent open practices.

Pete Crow-Armstrong Smacks Two-Run Homer

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong continued his strong campaign during Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
