Mike Foltynewicz Has Decent Outing On Sunday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz finally put together a decent outing after getting smacked around his last few starts. He went five innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, three walks, and one strikeouts versus the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. Both of his runs came with the bases loaded in the second inning. However, […]

Alex Bregman Pulled Early During Rehab Game

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (hamstring) was removed early during Sunday's rehab game with Triple-A Sugar Land. It sounds like he was removed from the game as a precaution. Bregman should return in a day or two, but this could push back his return date to the big league roster. The hope was that […]

Josh James Activated, Optioned To Minors

Houston Astros pitcher Josh James (hip) has been activated off the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land. He was already with the organization for a rehab assignment, so he won't have to go anywhere. The 28-year-old righty has been sidelined all season due to a hip issue. He'll get some more work […]

Huascar Ynoa Gets Lit Up During Rehab Start

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) was not sharp during his rehab start in Single-A Rome on Sunday. He only pitched two innings, eight hits allowed, six runs allowed, while striking out two. The most important thing is that Ynoa is healthy and back on the mound. He has been sidelined since mid-May due […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Gets Day Off On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This marks Guerrero's first rest day of the season, so it's well-deserved. Cavan Biggio will cover first base and bat sixth versus righty Brad Keller. Biggio is not a favorable fantasy option […]

Jorge Soler Collects Three Hits In Braves Debut

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler began his team debut with a bang on Saturday. He went 3-for-4 with an RBI single in the 8-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Soler has struggled at the plate this season, but offers huge upside in terms of power. He is a threat to go deep everytime he steps […]

Kyle Muller Pitches Well In No-Decision

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Muller pitched well during Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. He tossed five innings, four hits allowed, one earned run, two walks, and seven strikeouts in the 8-1 victory. Since joining the Braves, Muller has posted a 2.43 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 33/15 K/BB ratio across 29 2/3 innings. He'll […]

Thomas Hatch, Tayler Saucedo Optioned To Minors

Toronto Blue Jays pitchers Thomas Hatch and Tayler Saucedo has been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. The Jays needed to make room for Jose Berrios and Joakim Soria on the active roster. Saucedo performed well during his time in Toronto, so he could be back soon. He posted a 2.03 ERA and 0.98 WHIP […]

Billy Hamilton Heads To IL, Jimmy Lambert Recalled

Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive July 31. The switch-hitting speedy outfielder has been below average with the bat during his time in Chicago. His absence won't make much of an impact in the lineup. In the meantime, Jimmy Lambert has been recalled from Triple-A […]

Rhys Hoskins Remains Out On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has not played since July 29 due to a tweaked groin. It sounds like he'll avoid a trip to the injured list, but will remain out of the lineup for a few days. In […]

Tigers Expected To Hold Onto Jonathan Schoop

Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop is unlikely to be moved before the July 30 trade deadline. The interest in Schoop has been limited enough that the Tigers don't believe it's worth it to deal him. Schoop is making $4.5 million this season and has put up a .791 OPS with 17 home runs and […]

White Sox Sign Reliever Kyle Crick

The Chicago White Sox have signed relief pitcher Kyle Crick to a minor league deal. He was designated for assignment by the Pittsburgh Pirates, but surprisingly didn't draw any interest. The righty reliever will now get a chance with a new organization. Crick has posted a 4.43 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 24.3 innings with […]

Spencer Howard Available For Trade

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Spencer Howard is reportedly available in trade discussions. He was viewed as the Phillies top pitching prospect prior to his debut last season. Since then, Howard has battled a few injuries and has struggled heavily at the MLB level. He has posted a 5.71 ERA through 28.3 innings with the Phillies […]

Jesus Aguilar Unlikely To Be Traded On Friday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar is likely going to stay with the organization. It doesn't appear that the organization has plans to move Aguilar at the trade deadline despite interest from other organizations. He has one more year of arbitration eligibility remaining, so Miami is likely going to bring him back next season. Aguilar […]

Rays Acquire Shawn Armstrong From Orioles

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Shawn Armstrong has been dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays. In exchange for Armstrong, the Orioles will receive cash considerations. Armstrong has an 8.55 ERA over 20 appearances for the Orioles this season. He was removed from the 40-man roster last month, but has pitched well in the minors. Armstrong could […]

Whit Merrifield Expected To Stay In KC

Kansas City Royals second baseman White Merrifield is unlikely to be traded by the July 30 deadline. Jon Morosi of MLB Network has been told by rival executives that the Royals are expected to keep Merrifield. He is under team control through 2023, so it's not shocking that the Royals are staying put right now. […]

Trey Mancini, John Means Unlikely To Be Dealt

Baltimore Orioles first baseman and starting pitcher John Means are unlikely to be dealt by the end of the trade deadline on July 30. Means is looking like a prime trade candidate, but has struggled since returning from a shoulder injury. He is under team control until 2024, so the team has no rush to […]

Dansby Swanson Shows Off His Power Versus Mets

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson continues to be a surprising source of power for this lineup. On Thursday, Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the eighth inning in the 6-3 win over the New York Mets. That gives Swanson 18 home runs on the season, which is a new career high. The […]

Austin Riley Hits Another Homer On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley has been a home run machine over the last few games. He has now collected six home runs and 13 RBI over his last seven games. On Thursday, Riley went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an RBI single in the 6-3 win over the New York Mets. Riley […]

Drew Smyly Lifted After Four Innings

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly wasn't at his best during Thursday's contest against the New York Mets. He tossed four innings, nine hits allowed, three earned runs, one walk, and six strikeouts on Thursday. His velocity was down in this start and it's worth noting he was pulled due to a knee injury during […]

Rhys Hoskins Exits Early On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (undisclosed) was removed early during Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. Hoskins left early during the second game of the doubleheader with an apparent injury. J.T. Realmuto took over at first base for the rest of the game. The Phillies should have more news on Hoskins shortly after the […]

Luis Severino Cleared For Rehab Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (groin) has been cleared for a rehab start on Tuesday. He suffered a groin injury while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The good news is, Severino has thrown to live batters and is ready for a rehab assignment. It sounds like Severino has a chance to return to […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Out Of The Lineup Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfield Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (elbow) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He exited early on Wednesday after being hit by a pitch in the elbow. It sounds like this is a day-to-day issue, so hopefully Gurriel can avoid a trip to the injured list. […]

Eduardo Escobar Likely To Join Brewers On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Eduardo Escobar is expected to join the organization on Friday, according to manager Craig Counsell. The 32-year-old infielder was acquired by Milwaukee from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. In exchange for Escobar the Diamondbacks received Alberto Ciprian and Cooper Hummel. Counsell mentioned that Luis Urias will serve as a utility player […]

Max Fried Posts Quality Start On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried didn't make too many mistakes during Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. He tossed seven innings, five hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and nine strikeouts. Infielder Brandon Drury was the difference maker in this one with a solo home run in the seventh inning off Fried. […]

Jordan Lyles Tosses Solid Outing Versus D-Backs

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles threw one of his better outings of the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. He went seven innings, two hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and six strikeouts in the no-decision. The 30-year-old wasn't able to get the win, but at least he held his own here. […]

Kyle Van Noy Placed On PUP List

New England Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy has been placed on the PUP list. The injury is currently undisclosed, but not believed to be anything serious. He'll be joined by right tackle Trent Brown and defensive back Stephon Gilmore on the PUP list. Van Noy is back in New England after a horrendous year with […]

Marcus Maye Activated From Non-Football Injury List

New York Jets safety Marcus Maye has been activated off the non-football injury list. He passed his physical and should have no problems heading into training camp. Possibly, his absence was a negotiating tactic, but the Jets are unwilling to pay him top tier money. Maye recorded 11 passes defended and two interceptions last season. […]

Zach Wilson And Jets Not Close On Deal

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson remains unsigned as training camp begins. The No. 2 overall pick has not reported to camp yet. It sounds like the Jets are unlikely to budge on contract talks. His agent haggles with the Jets over "offset language" in his rookie deal that could let the team void his […]

Hunter Long Signs Four-Year Deal With Dolphins

Miami Dolphins tight end Hunter Long has signed a four-year deal with the organization. That means, the Dolphins have only one draft pick left unsigned as they begin training camp. Long is a third-round pick of the Dolphins who put together 57 receptions during his final season at Boston College. He could develop into a […]
