Kyle Seager Strikes Out Three Times Saturday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had another rough game Saturday, going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts and five men left on base in a loss against Cleveland.

Zack Britton Tosses Scoreless Frame In Return

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton pitched a scoreless frame in his return from the injured list Saturday.

The southpaw's velocity was well below what he was […]

Corbin Burnes Has Tough Outing In Loss

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes allowed four runs (two earned) on eight hits and three walks with eight strikeouts across four innings versus Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Shaw is eligible to come off the IL in August, and if […]

Aroldis Chapman Takes Loss Saturday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was charged with his second loss of the season in Saturday's defeat to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Max Muncy Out On Saturday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (side) will not play for the second game of the series against the Rangers.
