Jackie Bradley Jr. Sitting Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. is sitting on Friday against the White Sox. Tzu-Wei Lin will start in center in his place.

Diego Castillo Picks Up Save For Rays

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Diego Castillo closed out the Rays 3-1 win on Thursday. He now has four saves on the season, two of which have come in the past week. It seemed like Jose Alvarado was going to be the clear-cut favorite for closing duties shortly after the season began, but he has […]

Closer Situation Murky In Tampa

Tommy Pham Fills Stat Sheet

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham went 4-for-5 with a home run, one run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in the Rays loss to the Orioles on Thursday. It’s nice to see the power numbers pick up for Pham, as he has already been aggressive on the base paths, stealing six bags so […]
