San Francisco Giants right-hander Caleb Kilian had a rough outing in his most recent appearance against the Athletics on Thursday, allowing four earned runs for his second blown save of the year.

Across 116 plate appearances, the 20-year-old is hitting .212/.293/.481 with seven home runs, 17 RBI, 15 runs scored, and one stolen base. Emerson's underlying metrics are a bit concerning, as his strikeout rate (31.9%) […]

Boston Red Sox second baseman Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) could be activated on Sunday, according to manager Chad Tracy.

We’re now entering Week 14 of the 2026 MLB season, which makes it a good time to start stashing high-upside prospects who could help down the stretch in the second half. Most of these names are best suited for deeper AL- or NL-only leagues, but a few could work their way into mixed-league value if […]

New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list sometime during the team's upcoming homestand, manager Aaron Boone told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.

The 31-year-old has run into some difficulties in June after a dominant start to the season, allowing six earned runs across 5 2/3 innings (seven appearances) […]

Across 297 plate appearances in 2026, San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee is hitting .327/.360/.471 with five home runs, 30 RBI, 41 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The 27-year-old does an excellent job of limiting swing-and-miss, as he's struck out in just 9.1% of his trips to the plate this season. Lee's .345 […]

Kansas City Royals right-hander Alex Lange had a rough outing on Friday, allowing five earned runs while recording just one out in the seventh inning of his team's 22-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
