The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder Dominic Canzone (groin) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a right-groin strain and recalled outfield prospect Jonatan Clase from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Canzone hurt his groin on Sunday while making a catch against the Toronto Blue Jays and then made things worse on Tuesday night […]

Heston Kjerstad, Ryan O'Hearn Sitting Against A Lefty

Baltimore Orioles rookie outfielder Heston Kjerstad and first baseman/designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn are out of the lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Chicago Cubs with left-hander Shota Imanaga on the mound. Catcher Adley Rutschman will serve as the designated hitter and bat second, while Austin Hays will start in left field and bat sixth. James […]

Mike Clevinger Could Continue Build-Up In Big-League Rotation

Chicago White Sox right-hander Mike Clevinger (elbow) threw 61 pitches in 2 2/3 innings during his minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday night. Manager Pedro Grifol said the team will find out how Clevinger is feeling on Wednesday. If he's healthy, it's possible he could be built back up on the fly in […]

White Sox Optimistic Yoan Moncada Will Return Soon

The Chicago White Sox seem optimistic that third baseman Yoan Monada's (groin) minor-league rehab assignment could be relatively quick. Moncada is going to start serving as the designated hitter before playing third base. Manager Pedro Grifol said Moncada is feeling good and the team is hoping to "push him a little bit," with hopes of […]

Jake Eder Likely To Debut In Wednesday's Doubleheader

Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol made it sound likely that left-handed pitching prospect Jake Eder, who is serving as the 27th man on Wednesday for the doubleheader against the visiting Minnesota Twins, will make his major-league debut out of the bullpen. Grifol said there's "a good chance." "If I get the opportunity to put […]

Zach Evans On The Roster Bubble

The Rams Wire's Cameron DeSilva lists Los Angeles Rams running back Zach Evans as being on the roster bubble heading into training camp this summer. The Rams re-signed Ronnie Rivers, drafted Blake Corum in the third round and signed Boston Scott in free agency this offseason, so Evans' place in the RB room is shaky. […]

Brock Bowers Has To Earn A Starting Role

The Las Vegas Raiders did select rookie tight end Brock Bowers with the 13th overall pick in April, but he will have to earn a starting role in 2024. Bowers has a dynamic skill set as a pass-catcher and can line up as an in-line tight end, outside receiver or inside as a slot receiver. […]

Gardner Minshew, Aidan O'Connell Expected To Split Reps In Training Camp

Las Vegas Raiders quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell split snaps with the starters during offseason team activities and will continue to do so when training camp begins later this month. Both signal-callers got off to rough starts during OTAs and struggled with accuracy, turned the ball over too much and failed to consistently push […]

Gus Edwards Viewed As Lead Back

The Athletic's Daniel Popper sees running back Gus Edwards as the Los Angeles Chargers' clear lead back heading into training camp. The secondary touches behind Edwards are open for competition, but Popper thinks J.K. Dobbins wins that battle if he's healthy over Kimani Vidal and Isaiah Spiller. Edwards was nursing an undisclosed injury during spring […]

Dak Prescott, Cowboys Have Had Extension Talks

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said that his agent and the Cowboys have had "conversations back and forth," with Prescott saying that "the money and all that will take care of itself." He was also seen in a walking boot recently while on vacation, but Prescott said his surgically repaired ankle is completely fine and […]

Shohei Ohtani Steals 21st Base In Blowout Loss

The Los Angeles Dodgers may have gotten blown out 10-1 in Tuesday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies, but designated hitter Shohei Ohtani still made a mark, going 1-for-2 with his 21st stolen base of the season, a walk and a strikeout. Because the game was out of hand, the Dodgers pulled the 30-year-old two-way […]

Pirates In On Taylor Ward

The Pittsburgh Pirates are in on Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward and are working on a deal to acquire him before the July 30 trade deadline, according to sources. Ward would most likely move over to right field if he landed in Pittsburgh, replacing Joshua Palacios. Although Ward is batting a mediocre .238 (77-for-324) […]

David Bednar Picks Up A Hold In First Rehab Outing

Pittsburgh Pirates closer David Bednar (oblique) made his first minor-league rehab outing with Double-A Altoona on Tuesday and pitched a clean inning to pick up a hold. Bednar didn't allow a hit or a walk and struck out one batter. Bednar is getting close to returning from the injured list, but with the All-Star break […]

Blake Snell Looks Sharp In First Start Off The Injured List

In his return from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday night against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants left-hander Blake Snell looked the best he's looked all year in what has been a rough season after winning the National League Cy Young in 2023. Snell threw five shutout innings while allowing just one […]

Yusei Kikuchi Racks Up Career-High 13 Punchouts In No-Decision

Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Yusei Kikuchi was dialed in on the road on Tuesday night in San Francisco against the hosting Giants, but he came away with a no-decision despite giving up only two earned runs on six hits (two homers) while walking none and striking out a career-high 13 batters. In fact, this was […]

Brayan Bello Gives Up Five Runs But Fans 11

Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello capitalized on a juicy matchup on Tuesday night, picking up his ninth win of the season in a 12-9 victory over the visiting Oakland Athletics. Bello did allow five earned runs on nine hits (one home run), but he walked only two and struck out a season-high 11 batters. […]

Brenton Doyle Goes Deep Twice In Losing Effort

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle did his best to carry the offense on Tuesday on the road against the Cincinnati Reds, but it wasn't enough in a 12-6 loss. Doyle finished the game 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk. His other hit was a double. The 26-year-old didn't look too great last […]

Esteury Ruiz Singles, Steals A Base In First Rehab Game

Oakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz (wrist) singled, stole a base and drove in a run in two at-bats in his first minor-league rehab game with Single-A Stockton on Tuesday night. He also walked once and struck out while playing seven innings in left field. It was Ruiz's first game action since injuring his wrist with […]

Ross Stripling, Paul Blackburn Look Shaky In Rehab Outings

Both right-handers Ross Stripling (elbow) and Paul Blackburn (foot) had uneven performances in their minor-league rehab appearances for Single-A Stockton on Tuesday night. Stripling started the game and gave up two runs (one earned) on two hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out one in just two-thirds of an inning. Blackburn, meanwhile, came […]

Yimi Garcia Has Rehab Outing Pushed Back Due To Stiff Neck

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed reliever Yimi Garcia (elbow, neck) was scheduled to make a minor-league rehab appearance for Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday but was scratched due to a stiff neck. Garcia's issue is considered minor, though, and he's now scheduled to pitch for the Bisons on Wednesday. The 33-year-old's rehab has taken a slight pause, […]

Wandy Peralta Injures His Groin On Tuesday Night

San Diego Padres left-handed reliever Wandy Peralta (groin) threw a pitch in the ninth inning in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the visiting Seattle Mariners and immediately winced. It appeared to be a left-groin/hip injured based on his reaction, and he was forced to leave the game after allowing an earned run on one hit in […]

Dominic Canzone Leaves Early With Groin Injury

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (groin) felt discomfort in his groin/adductor area while making a catch on Sunday and was pulled early from Monday's game against the San Diego Padres after it didn't feel great while running the bases. Canzone will go for an MRI exam on Wednesday and could need to rest through next […]

Johan Rojas Says He's OK After Hit-By-Pitch

Philadelphia Phillies rookie outfielder Johan Rojas (forearm) left Tuesday's game early against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers in the seventh inning after getting hit in the right forearm with a pitch. Rojas said he is OK, though, so it may just be a day-to-day type of injury. Before leaving the contest, Rojas went 2-for-3 with […]

Jesus Sanchez, Bryan De La Cruz Not Expected To Be Traded

The Miami Herald's Craig Mish writes that the Miami Marlins are unlikely to trade outfielders Jesus Sanchez and Bryan De La Cruz by the July 30 trade deadline this summer. The Marlins could very well trade outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. and left-hander Jesus Luzard (back), but not before Luzardo is healthy. Both Sanchez and De […]

Devin Williams Faces Live Hitters On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams (back) threw to live hitters for the first time on Tuesday before the team's game against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates. A pretty serious back issue has kept Williams out the entire first half of the 2024 season. However, the 29-year-old right-handed reliever is making good progress after he resumed throwing […]

Jacob deGrom Throws 30-Pitch Bullpen Session

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (elbow) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and mixed in his changeup, but he's still "a ways away," according to manager Bruce Bochy. deGrom is making progress, but it's slow progress after he underwent Tommy John surgery last June. After perhaps a few more bullpen sessions, the 36-year-old could […]

Clayton Kershaw To Make Next Rehab Start On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that left-hander Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) will make his next minor-league rehab start on Saturday with Triple-A Oklahoma City and will go three innings. Kershaw had been nearing a return from offseason surgery on his left shoulder when he experienced soreness in his arm during a rehab game with […]

Mets Acquire Phil Maton From Rays

The New York Mets acquired right-hander Phil Maton on Tuesday from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. In a corresponding move, the Mets designated left-hander Joey Lucchesi for assignment. Maton is expected to provide middle-relief depth for the Mets with the move to the National […]

Kodai Senga Throws 2 2/3 More Scoreless Innings In Rehab Start

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (shoulder, triceps) threw 2 2/3 more scoreless innings on Tuesday in his second minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse and he's now thrown 5 1/3 scoreless innings so far on his rehab assignment. However, Tuesday's outing wasn't as dominant as his first rehab start, as he walked two batters […]

Bryan Woo To Return This Weekend Against Angels

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (hamstring) will be activated from the 15-day injured list this weekend to face the division-rival Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, according to manager Scott Servais. The skipper didn't specify which of the four games that Woo will start, though. Woo's rotation turn comes up on Friday, but the Mariners could […]
