Isiah Kiner-Falefa Doubles In Blowout Loss

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa was one of the few bright spots for this offense on Sunday. He went 1-for-3 with a double off lefty Steven Matz during the 10-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. This game was over in the second inning and the Rangers didn't put up much of a fight. Kiner-Falefa […]

On Sunday, Foltynewicz allowed 10 earned runs, eight hits, two walks, and zero strikeouts through 1 2/3 innings. During that time span, Foltynewicz allowed four home runs to the Blue Jays.

Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt looked solid at the plate during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored during the 7-5 defeat.

Sonny Gray Activated, Rocked By Brewers

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (ribs) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. He had been sidelined since July 8 due to a strained rib cage muscle.

Jazz Chisholm Suffers Minor Injury

Miami Marlins shortstop Jazz Chisholm (shoulder) was forced to exit early after diving for a ball during Sunday's contest.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly was handed a no-decision during his outing versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. He went 5 2/3 innings, four hits allowed, three earned runs, two walks, and struck out six batters. It wasn't a bad outing for Smyly, but he allowed the game-tying home run before exiting the […]

Nate Lowe Doubles In Loss To Jays

Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe was one of the few batters who actually showed up for this offense on Sunday.

Kolby Allard Rocked For Five Runs On Sunday

Braves Acquire Stephen Vogt From Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Stephen Vogt has been traded to the Braves in exchange for infielder Mason Berne. Vogt is hitting .212/.307/.386 with five homers over 151 plate appearances. He'll get some playing time against right-handed pitching, but isn't a huge upgrade for the Braves. Berne is a solid contact hitter without much pop and has […]
