Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (back) is scheduled to do soft toss hitting in the batting cage on Sunday.

The 21-year-old […]

Updating a previous report, the Los Angeles Dodgers don't expect two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (knee) to be back on the mound as a pitcher for "some time," according to Jack Harris of The California Post.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the visiting San Diego Padres due to back tightness, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com.
