The Cleveland Indians have transferred catcher Roberto Perez (finger) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Perez first landed on the injured list a few weeks ago after fracturing his right ring finger. He is expected to be out for a total of two months at least, so the move isn't much […]

James Karinchak Takes Loss Sunday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher James Karinchak had a day he would like to forget Sunday as he allowed three runs (two earned) on one hit and two walks without recording an out in the top of the tenth inning of Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins.

Cleveland Indians shortstop and outfielder Amed Rosario went 4-for-5 with two RBI and finished one home run shy of the cycle in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins.

Ryan Yarbrough Will Start On Monday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough will make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, according to manager Kevin Cash.

Zach Davies Records A No-Decision

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies picked up another no-decision on Sunday versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Davies has looked better of late and went five innings on the evening.

Javier Baez Plays Hero In Sunday's Victory

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez came up big in Sunday's victory versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Baez was 1-for-4 with the game winning two-run home run.

Trevor Story Walks It Off On Sunday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday. Story played the hero when he walked the game off with a solo home run, his fifth of the year, in the bottom of the ninth inning. He deposited a Stefan Crichton […]

Tanner Houck Resumes Throwing Program

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck (elbow) has resumed his throwing program, according to Red Sox pitching coach Dave Bush.

Kyle Lewis Has Two Hits, Steals A Base

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis stole his second base of the season Sunday against the San Diego Padres. He also went 2-for-3 in the contest with two singles. It's good to see Lewis contributing in the speed department, but he doesn't have an extra-base hit since May 7. There's plenty of potential here, but Lewis […]

Michael Pineda Should Return Wednesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (thigh) is expected to return from the injured list on Wednesday.

Victor Reyes Likely To Be Recalled Before Monday's Game

Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes is expected to be recalled from Triple-A prior to Monday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

Since then, he […]

Alex Verdugo Pinch Hits Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (hamstring) pinch-hit in Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies, grouding into a force-out against Archie Bradley in the nith inning.

Eduardo Rodriguez Saddled With Third Loss Sunday

Franchy Cordero Launches Monster Home Run

Boston Red Sox outfielder Franchy Cordero hit his first home run of the season Sunday, a 474-foot moon shot off of Phillies starter Zack Wheeler in the top of the eighth inning.
