Adam Jones Out of the Lineup on Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Yordan Alvarez Knocks Out 26th Home Run

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez went 1-for-3 with one home run in the Astros 4-1 win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Alex Bregman Goes Yard In Win

Ramon Laureano Gets A Rest Day on Tuesday
