Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The Braves will give Markakis the day off against the left-handed starter.

Max Kepler Out on Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Jhoulys Chacin Placed on Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Chacin is dealing with a lower back strain, so the Brewers will give him some time off to rest.

Andre Iguodala Expected to be Fine for Game 2

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (leg) aggravated his left leg injury during Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The Warriors said that the MRI came back clean, so Iggy should be fine for Game 2 on Sunday. Kevin Durant (calf) has already been ruled out, so Iggy will play a big role without Durant […]

Kevin Durant Ruled Out for Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) has been officially ruled out for Game 2 against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. He was already listed as doubtful, so this news won't come as a shock to anyone. The Warriors are hopeful to get Durant back by halfway through the series, but that depends on how […]

Josh Jackson is Day-to-Day

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Jackson (foot) is reportedly considered day-to-day after tweaking his foot.

Gerardo Parra will bat seventh and play […]

Guillermo Heredia is Starting on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Guillermo Heredia is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Tommy Pham is Out on Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (leg) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Pham tweaked his leg on Thursday, and was not able to suit up during Friday's contest. The MRI came back clean, so the Rays are just going to give Pham a few days to rest. […]

Brendan Rodgers is Out on Friday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Rodgers is hitting .303/.361/.364 since being called up, so he's not sitting out due to poor performance. Manager Bud Black feels that Ryan McMahon is a better option for Friday's contest. McMahon will bat sixth […]

Mike Freeman is Starting at Third Base

Cleveland Indians infielder Mike Freeman is drawing a rare start for the Tribe in Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Freeman normally only plays on rest days for Jose Ramirez. However, Ramirez is sliding over to designated hitter for this contest, so that opens up third base for Freeman. The veteran lefty infielder will […]

Willians Astudillo Moves Up in the Batting Order

Minnesota Twins catcher Willians Astudillo is drawing the start behind the plate against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.

He's batting third and starting behind the plate versus […]
