Garrett Whitlock Resumes Throwing

Boston Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock (elbow) played catch on Monday and is feeling great. The last report we had on Whitlock was that he hadn't resumed throwing since landing on the injured list on the Fourth of July, so this news is much more encouraging.

The Atlanta Braves signed catcher Travis d'Arnaud to a one-year, $8 million deal for the 2024 season, and it includes an $8 million club option for the 2025 season with no buyout.

The New York Giants placed linebacker Jarrad Davis (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, ending his 2023 season before it even started.

Framber Valdez Up In The Air To Start Friday

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said that the team isn't sure yet if left-hander Framber Valdez (calf) will be able to make his next scheduled start on Friday against the Oakland Athletics.

Brandon Woodruff To Make First Rehab Start Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) will make his first minor-league rehab start on Saturday for High-A Wisconsin on the road.

The […]

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is taking a mental break from baseball on Tuesday with the team facing the Seattle Mariners.

Jeremy Pena Good To Go To Return To Lineup

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said that shortstop Jeremy Pena (hamstring) is good to go to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Jake Bird. Pena suffered from cramping in his hamstring on Saturday and didn't play on Sunday, but he's back in there for fantasy managers after the […]

Eddie Rosario Remains On The Bench

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario (hamstring) continues to sit out on Tuesday as the team takes on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Logan Allen Called Up To Start Tuesday

Cleveland Guardians rookie left-hander Logan Allen has been called up from Triple-A Columbus to make the start on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Indians rotation is really struggling due to injuries to Shane Bieber, Cal Quantrill and Triston McKenzie, so Allen will return from the minors to enter the starting rotation for Cleveland. The […]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (quadriceps) will miss another game on Tuesday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers.
