Jacob Misiorowski Struggles in No-Decision

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski didn't look like himself on the mound during Saturday's outing against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The right-hander tossed five innings, allowing […]

Dylan Cease Brilliant in Win

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Cease was excellent on the mound during Saturday's outing against the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander tossed six innings, allowing one run on five hits while striking out six batters in the win. Cease had good command in this one as he walked only one batter during this outing. That's […]

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo had some outstanding swing-and-miss stuff going for him during Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. He got hit around early, giving up two runs in the second inning. After that, Woo settled down and looked untouchable over the next few innings. He tossed six innings, allowing two runs […]

Nick Kurtz Blasts Grand Slam in Win

Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz was quiet with the bat throughout most of Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Max Muncy Exits Early on Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (head) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. It doesn't seem that Muncy can catch a break lately.

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitching prospect Bubba Chandler turned in the best start of his young career in a 5-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday.

Dominic Smith Placed on 10-Day Injured List, Likely Done for Regular Season

The San Francisco Giants have placed first baseman Dominic Smith (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring. It appears he'll sit out longer than that, though, as Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Smith will probably miss the final 15 games of the Giants' regular season. Smith injured […]

Trey Yesavage Heading to Big Leagues

According to Ben Nicholson-Smith, Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trey Yesavage is set to be promoted to the big leagues. Yesavage is a former first-round pick of the organization from the 2024 draft. The right-hander has been impressive during his first season in pro ball. He holds a 3.12 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and a 160/41 […]

Zach Neto Remains Out on Saturday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (illness) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Adell has missed each of the last two games while battling vertigo. In fact, Adell has been held out of the lineup in four of the last five contests due to the issue. It […]

Brandon Sproat Excellent in No-Decision

New York Mets starting pitcher Brandon Sproat was outstanding on the mound during Saturday's start against the Texas Rangers.

Sproat exited the game after […]

Keider Montero to Start on Sunday

Detroit Tigers pitcher Keider Montero will draw the start against the Miami Marlins on Sunday.

Will Smith Placed on 10-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 11. The Dodgers tried to avoid this, but sadly, Smith wasn't improving quickly enough.

Tyler Soderstrom Remains Sidelined

Athletics first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom (groin) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Soderstrom will miss his second straight game after being scratched ahead of Friday's contest. It sounds like he's still dealing with some groin tightness, so Soderstrom will miss at least one more game. The hope […]

Tommy Edman Heads to the Bench on Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Edman will get a night off after going 1-for-8 during his two games since returning from the injured list. The Dodgers don't want to push anything, so they'll give Edman some time to rest […]

Matt McLain Idle on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Matt McLain is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Athletics. This appears to be a routine rest day for McLain who has started in each of the last 12 games. Over the last two weeks, McLain is slashing .289/.400/.605 with three home runs and six RBI. […]

Spencer Steer Taking a Seat on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Spencer Steer is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler (shoulder) will undergo thoracic outlet decompression surgery on Sept. 23, according to Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic.

Edmundo Sosa Not in Lineup on Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa (groin) is out of the lineup against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. Bryson Stott will cover shortstop and hit eighth versus right-hander Ryan Bergert, and Donovan Walton will play second base and bat ninth. It's no surprise that Sosa will get the day off after leaving an 8-2 win […]

Liam Hendriks Shut Down With Forearm Tightness, Likely Done for Season

Boston Red Sox right-handed reliever Liam Hendriks (hip, forearm) has been shut down with forearm tightness, making it unlikely that he'll return this season.
