Jackson Jobe to Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jackson Jobe (elbow) received some bad news on Wednesday.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Returning on Wednesday

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (neck) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This is great news after Chisholm was forced to exit early on Tuesday due to neck tightness. It appears his removal was precautionary and he's ready to go on Wednesday. Chisholm will […]

Jasson Dominguez Absent on Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Dominguez will now head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. It's a bit odd to see Dominguez heading to the bench after a three-hit game on Tuesday. He's […]

Jorge Soler Returns to the Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (groin) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

Christian Yelich Absent on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be a routine rest day for Yelich who has started in each of the last seven games. Over the last three games, Yelich is 1-for-9, so a rest day looks like it's needed. […]

Gabriel Moreno Returns from Three-Game Absence

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (hand) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Moreno has missed the last three games after getting hit in the right hand during Friday's game. He missed a few games due to inflammation in his hand, but appears to be ready to go […]

Shohei Ohtani Playing on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (foot) is in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Jorge Soler Still Out on Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (groin) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the A's.

Michael Conforto Absent on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Michael Conforto is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. This appears to be a routine rest day for Conforto, but a bit odd to see it happening against a right-handed starter. The Dodgers have been platooning Conforto in left field this season. In […]

Gabriel Moreno Remains Out on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (hand) is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This marks the third game in a row that Moreno will sit out after being hit in the hand during Friday's game. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so Moreno appears to have avoided a […]

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers (lat) has been placed on the 60-day injured list on Monday. Weathers was pulled from his most recent start on Saturday after reportedly dealing with discomfort. The Marlins had Weathers undergo further testing, which revealed a lat strain.

Freddy Peralta Throws Six Scoreless Innings

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta bounced back nicely during Sunday's outing against the San Diego Padres.

Meyers has proven to be a consistent […]

Paul Skenes Looks Excellent in No-Decision

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes was once again fantastic on the mound, but didn't get much run support. Skenes had seemingly no issues as he threw 7 ⅔ innings, allowing only two hits while striking out seven batters in a no-decision. The right-hander has now allowed one earned run or less in six straight […]

Marcelo Mayer Heads to the Bench

Boston Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game. Mayer will head to the bench with left-hander Carlos Rodon throwing for the Yankees on Sunday. The 22-year-old appears to be in a straight platoon as he continues to sit out against left-handed pitching. Mayer hasn't exactly been […]

Raisel Iglesias Removed From Closer Role

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Raisel Iglesias has been reportedly removed from the primary closer role. Braves manager Brian Snitker told reporters on Friday that Iglesias won't be the closer going forward. This move isn't shocking considering Iglesias holds a 6.75 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, and 25/6 K/BB ratio this season. He's only 8-for-12 in save situations, […]

Jordan Westburg Expected to Return on Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (hamstring) appears to be on the verge of returning to the big-league roster. Westburg has been crushing the ball in the minors during his rehab assignment. He's slashing .360/.429/.760 with two home runs and five RBI across 28 plate appearances. Recently, O's interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters Westburg is […]

Denzel Clarke Returning on Sunday

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (shoulder) will make his way back into the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Clarke sat out of Saturday's contest after suffering a shoulder contusion on Friday. It's a bit surprising to see Clarke back after only one game, but that's good news for the A's. Clarke […]
