Nolan Schanuel Makes Early Exit On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel (knee) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Garrett Mitchell Makes Early Exit

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique) has been removed early during Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cardinals Snag Will Johnson At No. 47

Rams Select Terrance Ferguson With 46th Pick

The Los Angeles Rams have selected Oregon tight end Terrance Ferguson with the No. 46 pick in the second round of Friday's draft.

Brett Baty Optioned To Minors

New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday. Well, this was expected with fellow infielder Jeff McNeil (oblique) being activated from the 10-day injured list.

The rookie outfielder will take a seat against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez on Wednesday. Since being recalled, Simpson is hitting .333 with one RBI and two stolen bases in three games. He's worth an add in […]

Joc Pederson Taking A Seat Versus Southpaw

Texas Rangers outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics. Unsurprisingly, Pederson will get the night off against a left-handed starting pitcher as he has historically struggled against southpaws. His absence will mean Jonah Heim takes over as the designated hitter while Kyle Higashioka will be […]
