Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes tested negative for COVID-19 Tuesday evening, and he is expected to be activated from the COVID list in advance of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

New York Mets catcher James McCann drove in a run with a double in the top of the ninth inning Tuesday, but it wasn't enough to keep the team from falling 5-4 to the Miami Marlins. It was McCann's only hit in four at-bats before being lifted for a pinch-runner. The Mets are in freefall […]

Kyle Seager Has RBI Streak Broken

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had recorded an RBI in eight straight games entering Tuesday, but unfortunately he could not extend that streak against the Tampa Bay Rays. Seager went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts. The streak was tied with three others for the longest in the majors this year. Despite an […]

Diego Castillo Earns Save Against Former Team

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Diego Castillo pitched against the Tampa Bay Rays for the first time since being traded away Tuesday, and he walked one and struck out one in an inning of work en route to his 15th save of the season.

Paul Sewald Strikes Out Two In Ninth Hold

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald continued his excellent year Tuesday night, coming on in the eighth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays and striking out two batters in a clean inning to lock up his ninth hold. Sewald appeared to have a claim on the closer's role very briefly this weekend, after Kendall Graveman […]

Yusei Kikuchi With Another Quality Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi delivered another quality start Tuesday night, giving him 13 on the season in 20 starts. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks in six innings while striking out five Tampa Bay Rays. His only meaningful mistake came on the first pitch of the game, […]

Garrett Richards Rough Yet Again

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Richards endured yet another tough outing Tuesday, exiting after allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out five batters. Richards has a 5.21 ERA for the year, and an even worse 7.26 ERA over his last seven starts. He already belongs nowhere […]

C.J. Cron Drives In Three Runs On Tuesday

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron went 3-for-4 with three singles, three RBI, a walk, and a run scored in a 13-6 win over the Cubs on Tuesday. Cron drove in two runs with a single in the bottom of the sixth and added another RBI single in the eighth. He reached base two more […]

It was his only hit in four at-bats. Renfroe has now homered in back-to-back games after a 10-game […]

J.D. Martinez Breaks Skid With Two-Hit Game

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez had been on an awful skid entering Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Tigers with just one hit in his last five games. Martinez bounced back against his former team, going 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. Fantasy managers are surely counting on Martinez as the fantasy […]

Trevor Story Collects A Pair Of Doubles In Win

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, and an RBI in a 13-6 win over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. Both of Story's hits were two-baggers, the second one knocked in a run in the bottom of the eighth inning. It's been a relatively quiet season for the former All-Star, […]

Jarren Duran Swipes Bag From Leadoff Spot

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran led off Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers, going 2-for-5 with his first career stolen base. Duran appears poised to play against most right-handed starters, at least until Kyle Schwarber is ready to return from the injured list, and his blazing speed is a game-changer for Boston as well as […]

Patrick Corbin Goes Seven In Loss Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin was fairly effective Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies, lasting seven innings while allowing four runs on six hits and a walk. He did yield three home runs, and he struck out eight batters. Corbin now has given up at least four earned runs in his last four starts, […]

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland earned the win on Tuesday when he allowed two runs on four hits with no walks and five strikeouts over five innings in a 13-6 win over the Cubs. Freeland allowed just two runs over the first five frames by giving up an RBI groundout to Jason Heyward and […]

Luis Gil Returned To Triple-A After Start Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil was returned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following his impressive start on Tuesday. The 23-year-old dazzled over six scoreless innings against the Baltimore Orioles but one of the "replacement players" following starting pitchers Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery's placement on the COVID-19 list, thus the roster move. It wouldn't be […]

Jose Suarez Earns Fifth Win Of Season

Los Angeles Angels left-hander Jose Suarez (5-4) picked up the win in Thursday's 11-3 blowout against the Texas Rangers. He started strong, going five innings and giving up only one run, but allowed two runs to score on an Andy Ibanez home run in the sixth and was pulled shortly after. Overall, he went 5.2 […]
