Cal Quantrill Shifting to Bullpen

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Cal Quantrill will make the shift to the bullpen, according to manager Brian Snitker.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Placed on Outright Waivers

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa was placed on outright waivers by the organization on Friday. This seems like an odd decision considering Kiner-Falefa has been the primary third baseman since Ke'Bryan Hayes was traded to the Cincinnati Reds. The 30-year-old has struggled at the plate, but does offer solid defense. His fantasy value probably wouldn't […]

Payne Durham Could See Increased Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham could potentially see a larger role in the offense to begin the regular season.

Jason Alexander Records Eight Strikeouts

Houston Astros pitcher Jason Alexander had his swing-and-miss stuff working during Thursday's outing against the Colorado Rockies.

Carlos Santana Released on Thursday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Carlos Santana was released by the organization on Thursday. Santana was placed on outright waivers on Tuesday and surprisingly went unclaimed.

Jack Kochanowicz Optioned to Triple-A

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jack Kochanowicz was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
