J.P. Feyereisen Lands On Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher J.P. Feyereisen (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement on Friday. Feyereisen said that the shoulder had been bugging him for a few weeks and that Thursday's appearance was his "breaking point." He had an MRI Friday morning, and manager Kevin Cash is hopeful […]

Shohei Ohtani Returns Saturday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani will return to the lineup tonight, batting second and in the DH spot against the Toronto Blue Jays. The two-way sensation was removed from Thursday's game with back stiffness and sat out Friday's game but is ready to return Saturday. Ohtani has picked it up a bit […]

Nathan Eovaldi Throws Complete Game Saturday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi was terrific on Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles, throwing the first complete game of his career. Eovaldi allowed two earned runs, seven hits, and one walk while striking out six on 108 pitches. While the results were there, Eovaldi did allow 13 balls hit over 100 mph. Almost […]

Brandon Nimmo Dealing With Sore Wrist

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is out of the lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday with a sore wrist. Manager Buck Showalter said that it's a "day-to-day" thing and that there is no structural damage. Nimmo will receive a cortisone injection Saturday and will miss the weekend, but intends to return on Monday. […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Stays Hot Saturday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. doubled thrice on Saturday, going 3-for-5 with two RBI and 2 runs scored. The stud rookie has been on a tear at the dish, going 10-for-23 with seven extra-base hits in his last five games. Witt Jr. got off to a disappointing start in April with a .558 […]

Max Kepler Exits Game Early, Will Have MRI

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler was removed from Saturday's game in the 5th inning with tightness in his right leg. Kepler took two at-bats, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout, before being taken out of right field. After the game, manager Rocco Baldelli said that Kepler would get an MRI and it "could go either way" […]

Eloy Jimenez Beginning Rehab Assignment Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez has been out since April 23 with a right hamstring strain but will start his rehab assignment tonight for triple-A Charlotte. The slugger will likely need at least a week to get back into form. The White Sox start a home stand on June 7th, so that could be […]

Graham Ashcraft Called Up To Start Friday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Graham Ashcraft will start Friday night against the San Francisco Giants. The 24-year-old is the Reds No. 12 prospect, according to Baseball America. In his only major league start, he gave up two runs in 4 1/3 innings pitched. The Reds have also made it clear that Friday is not just […]

Jesse Winker Scratched Late Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker was originally in the lineup to face Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander but was taken out for unspecified reasons. This move doesn't seem strategic, as Winker has been much better against righties in his career. There should be more details soon, but for now, get Winker out of your lineup […]

Avisail Garcia Headed To Injured List

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia was placed on the injured list without a designation on Friday. When this happens, it is safe to assume that the player either tested positive for COVID-19 or was feeling under the weather. There is no way to know when he will return until we know more about the situation, […]

Jorge Polanco Good To Go Friday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (ankle) will return to the lineup and bat third against Royals righty Brad Keller on Friday. Polanco missed the last three games with a right ankle injury, but after testing it out on Friday he feels ready to play. He has had a disappointing season so far after his […]

Marcell Ozuna Returns To Lineup Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna (abdomen) is batting third and playing left field against Marlins lefty Trevor Rogers on Friday night. Ozuna missed Thursday's game against the Phillies with lower abdominal tightness, but he is ready to go Friday. He hasn't lived up to expectations so far this season, with just a .669 OPS. That […]

Jeffrey Springs Looking Stellar Early On

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs is off to an excellent start this season, compiling a 1.32 ERA and 0.80 WHIP over 27 1/3 innings pitched. The 29-year-old lefty was pitching out of the Rays bullpen early in the season but has since moved to the starting rotation, where he hasn't missed a step. […]

Patrick Wisdom Homers In Fourth Consecutive Game

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer off of Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Vladimir Gutierrez on Monday. The streaky slugger will strike out a ton and won't help out your batting average, but when he gets hot, he can put up monster numbers in a short period of time. He […]

Triston McKenzie Dazzles in Win

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie spun seven quality innings against a strong Houston Astros lineup on Monday. The lanky righty allowed only three hits and one walk while striking out three batters. That makes four impressive outings in a row for McKenzie, who has picked up three wins over that span while posting a […]

Kolten Wong Continues Tough Stretch, Goes Hitless Monday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong went 0-for-5 Monday and is now hitting .107 over his last seven games. Wong's Baseball Savant page is a disaster as well, as he's posted the lowest xBA and xWOBA of his career. Unless Wong can start hitting the ball with more authority, it is unlikely that his current […]

Anthony Rizzo Comes Back Down To Earth In May

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo has just one home run and a .587 OPS in May. This comes after a scorching-hot April that saw him lead baseball with nine home runs. The good news for Rizzo is that the Yankees seem to like him hitting in the third spot between righties Giancarlo Stanton […]
