Atlanta Braves right-hander Chris Martin, who's on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, has begun throwing, per beat writer David O'Brien.

Manny Machado Getting A Day Off On Tuesday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This looks to be a regular day of rest for the 28-year-old.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Is Absent From The Lineup On Tuesday

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. is absent from the team's lineup on Tuesday vs. the Milwaukee Brewers.

Jake Cronenworth is starting at shortstop and batting third in […]

Clint Frazier Taking A Seat For First Game Of Series

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is taking a seat on the bench for the first game of the series against Atlanta.

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Cavan Biggio (hand) has returned to the lineup on Tuesday. He's starting in right field and batting sixth against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez and the Boston Red Sox.

Aaron Hicks Getting The Day Off Tuesday, Could Sit Again Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is not in Tuesday's lineup for the contest against the Braves. At first glance, it seems like a routine day off, though manager Aaron Boone said that Hicks could remain out of the lineup on Wednesday to work on "mechanical adjustments."

Alex Kirilloff Won't Be Recalled During Road Trip

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff won't be recalled from the team's alternate site while the big club is on a road trip.

It's unfortunate timing for Kirilloff, as Twins' outfielders […]

Brent Rooker Reinstated From Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Brent Rooker (neck) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Rooker's return comes at a good time for the Twins, as they will be without outfielders Max Kepler (COVID-19) and Kyle Garlick (COVID-19) for at least the remainder of the week. The 26-year-old has been a bit disappointing at […]

Kyle Lewis Returns Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis is in the lineup batting second and playing center field Tuesday against Julio Urias and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ty France Sits Out Tuesday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France (forearm) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (COVID-19), outfielder Kyle Garlick (COVID-19), and relief pitcher Caleb Thielbar (COVID-19) have been placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday.

Lewis Brinson Expected To Be Called Up

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson is expected to be called up from the alternate site before Tuesday's game. With Starling Marte (rib) heading to the injured list, the Marlins need another outfielder up, and Brinson appears to be the choice.

New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford has been recalled from the team's alternate site ahead of Tuesday's game with the Braves.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 3-for-4 with a stolen base in a 2-0 loss to the Giants on Monday.

Jose Berrios To Start Second Game Of Doubleheader

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios will start the second game of Tuesday's scheduled doubleheader against the Athletics. Berrios was originally slated to take the mound on Monday, though the game was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Twins' clubhouse.

Brandon Woodruff Dominant In Win

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Bradnon Woodruff (1-0) allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out seven over six innings as he earned the win over the Padres on Monday.

Rafael Montero Saves Third Game

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Rafael Montero collected his third save of the year Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. After Kendall Graveman dazzled for 1 2/3 innings, Montero entered in the ninth and promptly allowed two men on base, though he induced a double play ball from Corey Seager to end it. Montero now has […]

Kendall Graveman Used In High Leverage

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Kendall Graveman had locked down the last two save opportunities entering Monday's game, but against the Los Angeles Dodgers he was brought in with one out and two on in the seventh inning. Graveman proceeded to set down the five batters he faced in order, collecting two strikeouts. He was credited […]

Chase Anderson Lasts Four Innings Versus Giants

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Chase Anderson allowed two runs in four innings while taking the loss Monday versus the Giants. Anderson allowed five hits and didn't walk a batter while whiffing five on the evening. The 33-year-old journeyman is a solid back of the rotation arm for the Phillies, but there's not a lot to […]

Justus Sheffield Credited With First Win

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield faced a tough task against the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers Monday, and he performed well. Over 5 2/3 innings, Sheffield allowed three runs on four hits and three walks. He added six strikeouts. The lone major blemish was a hanging slider that Corey Seager turned around for a […]

Jose Marmolejos Hits His Third Homer
