Eduardo Rodriguez Logs A Quality Start On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez allowed one run on seven hits with three strikeouts and one walk across six innings in a 3-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Joey Meneses Not In Sunday's Lineup

Washington Nationals first baseman/designated hitter Joey Meneses is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Colorado Rockies.

Miguel Rojas Returns To The Lineup On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas is starting at shortstop and batting eighth against Ryne Nelson and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.

C.J. Cron Absent From The Lineup On Sunday

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron is not in the lineup on Sunday for the series finale against the Washington Nationals.
