Lawrence Butler Swipes Two Bags On Wednesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler made an impact on the basepaths Wednesday, stealing two bases in a 3-1 win over the Chicago White Sox.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Nick Pivetta was solid on Wednesday, hurling six one-run innings in a 4-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Corey Seager Has Another Multi-Hit Game

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager had a solid day at the dish on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with two RBI. While all three of Seager's hits were singles, it is still nice to see him getting on base.

Noah Dobson Heads To Injured Reserve

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (lower body) has been placed on IR due to an injury suffered on Monday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Patrick Kane Not Ready To Return

Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane (upper body) won't play on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Kane also missed Thursday's game, but head coach Todd McLellan said that Kane remains day-to-day.

Matthew Knies Has No Timeline To Return, Deemed Day-To-Day

Toronto Maple Leafs winger Matthew Knies (upper body) is day-to-day after leaving Wednesday's game early with an upper-body injury.

Knies has been a key part of Toronto's first line this season, scoring […]
