Texas Rangers left-handed pitcher Dallas Keuchel will start Saturday against the Detroit Tigers after having his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock.

The 34-year-old has struggled mightily in the majors this season, compiling an […]

Nolan Arenado Reinstated From Paternity List

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado has been reinstated from the Paternity List and is back in the lineup Saturday against Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves, hitting fourth and playing third base.

Gavin Lux Remains Out Of Lineup, Could Return Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux (neck) remains out of the starting lineup Friday but could return Saturday. Lux has been dealing with a stiff neck since Tuesday, which has held him out of the Dodgers' last three games. He was able to hit in the batting cages today, though, and the team is […]

Luis Robert Likely To Miss This Weekend

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) will likely miss the entirety of the team's weekend series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Robert continues to feel pain in his wrist, and after a new scan showed inflammation in the wrist the team decided to shut him down for a few days. Manager Tony La Russa did […]

Willson Contreras Back In Lineup Friday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (ankle) will return to the lineup Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Contreras missed the last four games due to stiffness in his left ankle, which was caused by a tweak during the Field of Dreams game. He is ready to go tonight, though, and will catch and bat second against […]

Cristian Javier Likely Returning To Rotation Soon

Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Cristian Javier is expected to shift back into a starting role soon, according to manager Dusty Baker. Javier was taken out of the Astros rotation for this turn, as the team wants to go with a five-man rotation for the time being. However, Javier will likely pitch multiple innings out of […]

Javier Baez Returns To Lineup Friday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (back) is back in the lineup Friday against the Texas Rangers. Baez missed Wednesday's game with back spasms but is feeling good enough to play now. He will man shortstop and bat third in the Tigers' order. Baez has disappointed greatly in his first year with Detroit, slashing .224/.266/.636 with […]

Juan Soto Remains Out Of Lineup

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto (back) is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Kansas City Royals. Padres manager Bob Melvin was hopeful that the 23-year-old superstar would be able to return for the start of their weekend series after missing the last two games with mid-back tightness, but clearly Soto isn't feeling […]

Bryan Hoeing To Make MLB Debut On Saturday

The Miami Marlins have called up right-handed pitcher Bryan Hoeing to make a spot start Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers in place of Braxton Garrett. This will be Hoeing's debut, and it's safe to say the Marlins aren't exactly easing him into things. The 25-year-old isn't a highly ranked prospect and had pitched to […]

Tyler Mahle Headed To IL

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Tyler Mahle (shoulder) is headed to the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation. The Twins have been debating whether they wanted to leave Mahle on the active roster and see if he is feeling better later next week, but ended up placing him on the IL with no clear return date […]

Josh Hader Getting Break From Closer Role

San Diego Padres left-handed pitcher Josh Hader has been removed from the closer role for now, according to manager Bob Melvin. Supposedly this will just be a small break to get Hader right, as he has been scuffling for well over a month now. He now has a 16.20 ERA and 3.00 WHIP with a […]

Braxton Garrett Scratched From Start, Put On IL

Miami Marlins left-handed pitcher Braxton Garrett (oblique) will not make his scheduled start Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and will instead head to the 15-day IL with a right oblique strain. The details on how and when the injury occurred are still unknown, but Garrett will not start tonight and won't be available until […]

Luis Robert Returns To White Sox Lineup Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) will make his return to the lineup Friday night against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert had been nursing a sprained left wrist that caused him to miss the White Sox last 7 games, but after receiving a cortisone shot earlier in the week he is feeling better and is […]

Eloy Jimenez In White Sox Starting Lineup

The Chicago White Sox will have outfielder Eloy Jimenez (knee) back in their lineup Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians. Jimenez left Friday's game against the Guardians with right knee discomfort after twisting his knee while swinging, which is scary considering his injury history. However, he is feeling better today and will get back in the […]

Teoscar Hernandez Leaves Game After Fouling Ball Off Foot

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez left Saturday's game against the New York Yankees after fouling a ball off his left foot. Hernandez went for X-rays after the game and they came back negative, which is a good sign. He did say that he was still feeling some pain in his foot, so the Blue […]

Keegan Thompson Roughed Up By Brewers

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Keegan Thompson had a rough start against the Brewers on Friday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over three and two-thirds innings. Although Thompson has been useful this season, he has really struggled recently, pitching to an 8.44 ERA in four August starts. This […]

Aaron Ashby Struggles Friday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Aaron Ashby was torched on Friday, allowing six runs on eight hits over his five innings of work in an 8-7 loss against the Chicago Cubs. Ashby struck out eight and didn't walk a batter, which is a good sign for the young lefty considering his struggles with control, but the […]

Juan Yepez Activated Off IL, Sent To Minors

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Juan Yepez (forearm) has been activated off the IL and sent to Triple-A Memphis. Yepez had been contributing nicely for the Cardinals, but was slumping hard in July, slashing just .149/.196/.277 with two homers over 47 at-bats. With Lars Nootbaar heating up and Tyler O'Neill, Dylan Carlson, and Brendan Donovan contributing […]

Ryan Helsley Placed On Paternity Leave

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Ryan Helsley (personal) has been placed on paternity leave by the team. The fireballer will likely miss all of this weekend's series against the Arizona Diamondbacks as he awaits the arrival of his baby. Helsley has been a revelation this season, taking over the Cardinals' closer job while consistently hitting […]

Joe Barlow Headed Back To Injured List With Blister Issue

Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Joe Barlow (finger) is headed back to the injured list. Barlow is once again dealing with a blister issue on his right index finger, and it is bad enough that he is making a second trip to the injured list because of it. Barlow has pitched well this season with a […]

George Springer Out Of Lineup Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) is not in the lineup Friday after fouling a ball off his knee in Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Springer has dealt with his fair share of injuries over the last few years, and although this doesn't sound like a serious injury, the Jays will likely […]

Kyle Stowers Called Up Friday, In Starting Lineup

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Kyle Stowers has been called up by the team and will hit fifth in his return from the minors on Friday. Stowers was first called up in mid-June, but only appeared in two games before being sent back down. The Orioles' ninth-ranked prospect has played exclusively at Triple-A this season, outside of […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Suspended 80 Games For PED Use

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. has been suspended 80 games for violating MLB's P.E.D. policy. This is a huge loss for the Padres, who just went all in at the deadline only to have their young star get busted for P.E.D.'s just as he was about to return. It's a shame that we […]

Clayton Kershaw Throwing, Won't Rush Back

os Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) began throwing on Thursday and said he is feeling better after receiving an epidural injection. Kershaw has been dealing with lower back pain, which has plagued Kershaw for a few seasons now. The future Hall-Of-Famer said he will take his time building up and wants to be […]

George Springer Begins Hitting, Throwing

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) has been hitting and is expected to begin throwing Friday. Springer has been on the IL since August 5th, although he's been dealing with the issue since late July. The hope is that his stint on the injured list will at least allow Springer to feel less pain […]

Tarik Skubal Moved To 60-Day IL, Injury Could Be Elbow Related

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal (forearm/elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL on Friday. While this move appeared likely to end Skubal's season, manager A.J. Hinch made it official when asked about the injury. Hinch also said that the issue, deemed a forearm injury at first, is more related to the elbow area and […]

Max Muncy Playing On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hand) is back in the starting lineup Friday against Kansas City Royals. Muncy left Wednesday's game after taking a ball off the hand and wasn't able to swing a bat on Thursday. Nevertheless, he feels better now and is going to DH tonight. The 31-year-old has been heating up […]

DL Hall Called Up By Orioles, Could Start Saturday

Baltimore Orioles top pitching prospect DL Hall has been called up to the big leagues and appears likely to make a start tomorrow against the Tampa Bay Rays. The top 100 prospect has shown elite swing-and-miss stuff in the minors this season, racking up 114 strikeouts in 70 innings pitched in Triple-A. That said, he […]

Ken Giles DFA'd By Mariners

The Seattle Mariners DFA'd relief pitcher Ken Giles on Friday. The 31-year-old has had major struggles staying healthy over the past few years, as he has pitched only eight innings since the start of 2020. With Giles having both elbow and shoulder issues over that time span, it makes sense that the Mariners would move […]

San Francisco Giants Listening To Offers On Carlos Rodon, Others

The San Francisco Giants are now listening to offers for veteran players, according to Jon Heyman. With the Giants in a freefall, going 2-8 in their last 10 and falling four games out of the final wild card spot, this change in philosophy makes sense. While Carlos Rodon and Joc Pederson are the obvious trade […]
