Luis Torrens Gets First Career Start At Third Base

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens will shift positions and cover the hot corner for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He was originally a shortstop out of Venezuela, but has played primarily as a catcher in the MLB. However, he does often take groundball drills in the infield, so Torrens should be comfortable at […]

Nate Lowe Held Hitless On Tuesday

Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe struggled at the plate during Tuesday's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Angels. He went 0-for-4 in this one, but his absence at the plate didn't make much of an impact in the 11-3 defeat. Lowe is batting .249 with 12 home runs and 50 RBI this season. He […]

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia collected two hits in what ended up being a blowout loss on Tuesday. Garcia went 2-for-4 with a single and double in the 11-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos (wrist) could be activated off the 10-day injured list as early as Thursday. He'll miss Wednesday's game, but is expected to take batting practice prior to the game, according to manager David Bell.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (forearm) remains without a timetable for his return from the injured list. He has been out of action since July 7 due to forearm inflammation.

Jake Dolegala To Compete For No. 3 Role

New England Patriots quarterback Jake Dolegala is now in his second stint with the organization. He was recently claimed off waivers from the Green Bay Packers.

Rhamondre Stevenson Activated From Injury List

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (undisclosed) has been activated from the non-football injury list. The Pats selected Stevenson in the fourth round of this year's draft. He draws comparisons to LeGarrette Blount for his size and ability to truck over defenders. However, Stevenson was also an efficient receiver at Oklahoma. His return could […]

Jarrett Stidham Will Miss Training Camp

New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham (back) underwent surgery and will miss the rest of training camp. Stidham had back surgery and was given a three-month timetable.

Josh Allen Not Close To Contract Extension

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen does not appear close to a contract extension with the organization.

Eli Morgan Recalled, Starting Versus Blue Jays

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan has been recalled to make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) is expected to make at least one more rehab start. He tossed five innings of one-run ball on Saturday in Triple-A Worcester. Sale has posted a 1.76 ERA and a 27/2 K/BB ratio in 15 1/3 innings over four starts in the minors. It sounds like Sale […]

Austin Riley Knocks In Lone Run On Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley was seemingly the only offense for this team on Sunday. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI during Sunday's close to 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Riley slapped an RBI single in the sixth inning off righty John Curtiss as the only run for this offense. It was a frustrating […]

Charlie Morton Gets Tough Luck Loss

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton was solid on the mound, but was saddled with the loss on Sunday. He went six innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, and six strikeouts in the 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Braves offense didn't help Morton, but at least fantasy managers got a solid outing […]

Charlie Culberson Has Three-Hit Game

Texas Rangers infielder Charlie Culberson was a tough player to get out during Sunday's game versus the Seattle Mariners. He went 3-for-4 at the plate with three singles during the 4-3 win on Sunday.

Jonah Heim Hits Another Walkoff Sunday

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is looking like prime Babe Ruth at the plate over the weekend. The 26-year-old hit a pair of home runs including a walkoff winner in the 10th inning on Saturday. Heim returned as the DH for Sunday's contest and continued his clutch ways at the plate. He went 2-for-4 with […]

Mike Foltynewicz Has Decent Outing On Sunday

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.
