Miguel Sano Hitting .371 Over Last 10 Games In Single-A

Minnesota Twins embattled infielder Miguel Sano made headlines earlier in the year when the team demoted him down to Single-A, but it seems he’s doing his best to make his way back to the majors.

Tyler Wade Recalled From Triple-A Friday

New York Yankees second baseman Tyler Wade has officially been promoted to the big leagues on Friday. The move comes after sensational rookie Gleyber Torres (hip) was placed on the disabled list.

Tyler Saladino Returns, Eric Sogard Designated For Assignment

The Milwaukee Brewers activated Tyler Saladino (ankle) from the 10-day disabled list. In a corresponding move, the team designated second baseman Eric Sogard for assignment.

Updating a previous report, Miami Marlins shortstop Yadiel Rivera will indeed be in the lineup on Thursday against the Washington Nationals. He will bat eighth. J.T. Riddle will sit the matchup out. Rivera is having a bad 2018 season and should not be started against Jeremy Hellickson Thursday.

J.T. Realmuto Back In, Martin Prado Batting Fifth

After the Miami Marlins activated Martin Prado (hamstring) from the disabled list, the veteran third baseman will bat fifth on Thursday.

Realmuto, who returns to the lineup after […]

Trea Turner Leading Off, Matt Adams Returns

After swapping places on the lineup with Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton on July 4, shortstop Trea Turner will return to leadoff on Thursday against the Miami Marlins.

Updating a previous post, New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (hip) is sitting Tuesday's game for precautionary reasons, as opposed to a regular day off.
