Jacob deGrom Being Activated From Disabled List Sunday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) is returning to the team's rotation this Sunday to start against the Phillies. deGrom hyperextended his elbow two weeks ago in his start against the Braves and was not expected to miss too much time. The Mets erred on the side of caution to allow deGrom ample […]

Bradley Zimmer Scratched From Saturday's Lineup

Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer (chest) has been removed from Saturday's lineup. Zimmer is dealing with a bruised chest as he has complained about soreness when swinging the bat so he'll get the day off and Brandon Guyer will start in his place. Zimmer has had a lackluster sophomore campaign thus-far, as he continues to […]

Trevor Story Knocks In Four Against Milwaukee

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story was the main offensive force the team on Friday, but it wasn’t enough to hang on to a win. Story did most of his damage on a triple in the bottom of the fourth with the bases loaded, and he chipped in a sacrifice fly to give him four RBI […]

Chad Bettis Drilled By Brewers

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chad Bettis was knocked around by the Brewers on Friday, surrendering 10 hits and seven earned runs in just five innings. Even though he was spotted a huge 9-3 lead after four, Bettis wasn’t able to factor into the decision as the bullpen would eventually blow the lead and lose the […]

Jake McGee Takes Loss In 10th Inning

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Jake McGee hasn’t been as stellar in 2018 as expected, and he was saddled with a loss on Friday as he ended up getting victimized for a run in the 10th inning by the Brewers. McGee has struggled to throw clean innings this season, and he’s now carrying a 5.52 ERA. […]

Gerardo Parra Steals His Fourth Base

With the power sapped from his bat, Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra is still keeping himself relevant in the lineup by staying active on the basepaths. Parra stole his fourth base of the season on Friday in a losing effort against the Brewers, and he racked up four hits in the game. Parra is now […]

Carlos Gonzalez Homers In Loss

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez smacked his fourth homer of the season against Milwaukee on Friday night. Unfortunately, the team lost the game, and Gonzalez appears to be slowly losing the starting right field job. Gonzalez is getting regular days off as the team rotates CarGo, David Dahl, Gerardo Parra, and Noel Cuevas amongst the […]

Hunter Pence Has Restarted Minor League Assignment

San Francisco Giants right fielder Hunter Pence (thumb) has resumed baseball activity after dealing with recurring soreness. Pence was pulled from his last start a week ago and is seemingly back on track to return to the field. The veteran outfielder has been away from his major league squad since April 18 and now could […]

Chris Iannetta Knocks Fourth Homer

Colorado Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta hit another home run in a futile effort to beat the Brewers on Friday. It’s Iannetta’s second home run in his last four games, but those games have covered a span of 10 days because Iannetta is getting a lot of rest. There are no reports of any injuries, but […]

Wade Davis Blows Second Save

A worrisome game seemed to be in hand when Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis took the mound in the ninth on Friday. Davis has been a lights-out closer this season, and though the Brewers had been scraping their way back from an early 9-3 deficit, the crowd thought the game was sealed up. Instead, Davis […]

Wade Miley Transferred to 60-Day Disabled List

Milwaukee Brewers left-handed pitcher Wade Miley (oblique) has been placed on the 60-day DL. Miley seemed to have injured his oblique in the first inning of Tuesday's game against Cleveland and is now expected to miss several months of playing time while recovering. Oblique issues are the bane of any baseball player's existence as they […]

Josh Harrison Cleared for Baseball Activities

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (hand) has been cleared for baseball activities and expects to begin a rehab assignment "soon," according to The Athletic's Rob Biertempfel. Harrison took batting practice on Friday, an important step in returning from a broken left hand that has kept him out since April 15. He was initially expected […]

Jacob Barnes Optioned To Minors

The Milwaukee Brewers have sent right-handed pitcher Jacob Barnes down to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Barnes has struggled mightily in the month of May as he has given up four earned runs and 12 hits in a total of three innings pitched. He had been a dominant set up man in 2017, and was speculated to […]

Mark Reynolds Contract Purchased From Triple-A

The Washington Nationals have decided to bring up veteran Mark Reynolds as a corresponding move to placing first baseman Ryan Zimmerman on the disabled list. Reynolds has not had a single major league at-bat all season and is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks. Reynolds had a very solid 2017 season with […]

George Springer Out of Astros Lineup Saturday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (left elbow contusion) is riding the pine Saturday after he took a pitch to his elbow on Friday evening. Springer exited Friday's game and went in for X-rays after getting hit, but thankfully the results came back negative. Today's benching was to be expected, as Springer seemed to be in […]

Ryan Zimmerman's Lingering Back Issue Lands Him On Designated List

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (back) has been placed on the 10-day DL. Zimmerman had been in and out of the Nationals lineup these past few weeks, and it seems as if the organization saw it best to allot their veteran a proper amount of time to heal. In his absence, it is likely […]

David Peralta Swinging A Hot Bat In May

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the 3-1 loss to the Washington Nationals on Friday. Peralta has been a pleasant surprise this season and has stayed relatively consistent this year, with a .302 batting average along with a .914 OPS in 126 at-bats this season. He also holds […]

Matt Koch Continues To Pitch With Excellence

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Matt Koch went eight innings, giving up seven hits, three runs, and a walk while striking out three in the 3-1 loss to the Washington Nationals. Despite Koch being handed the loss after an eight-inning performance, he now rocks a 2.43 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP with 20 strikeouts in 33 […]

Troy Scribner Called Up From Triple-A, Will Start For Diamondbacks On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Troy Scribner has been called up from Triple-A Reno Aces and will start Saturday against the Washington Nationals. Scribner posted a 4.18 ERA with a 2-1 record last season in 23 2/3 innings pitched and will look to try and make a name for himself in an injury-plagued Diamondbacks pitching staff. […]

Jon Jay Settles Back In At Leadoff

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jon Jay was promoted back to the leadoff position six games ago, and so far, he’s taken to it like a duck to water. Jay has hit .320 with a .345 OBP and five runs scored in the 27 leadoff plate appearances he’s had since his promotion. While he won’t provide […]

Ozzie Albies Hits His 12th Homer

Another day, another homer for the exciting Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies. The 21-year-old was 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a solo home run in the 6-3 loss to the Miami Marlins. The home run was his 12th, a tie for the NL lead. He also stole his fifth base of the […]

Jason Hammel Rocked By Cleveland

For the second night in a row, the Kansas City Royals starting pitcher surrendered nine earned runs. This time, Jason Hammel was the victim at the hands of the Indians, as he was rocked and sent packing after just 3 2/3 innings. Hammel struggled mightily, but his offense kept bailing him out for the first […]

Kelvin Herrera Locked Down His Eighth Save

Kansas City Royals closer Kelvin Herrera locked down his eighth save of the season on Friday by pitching a clean inning against division rival Cleveland. Herrera has been nearly untouchable this season, as he’s only surrendered one run all year, but his save numbers have been severely limited so far by how bad his team […]

Brandon McCarthy Pounded In Loss To Marlins

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy got destroyed Friday for six runs, 11 hits, and two walks in five innings in the 6-3 loss to the Miami Marlins. Well, if you streamed McCarthy this week against Miami, I'm sorry. McCarthy got hit hard, surrendering home runs to J.T. Realmuto and Starlin Castro. He started the […]

Raisel Iglesias Earns Sixth Save Of The Season

Cincinnati Reds closer Raisel Iglesias earned his sixth save of the season on Friday against the Dodgers. Iglesias came on in the ninth inning up four runs with runners on first and second and one out. He allowed no hits and no walks with one strikeout. Iglesias has converted six of seven save opportunities with […]

Brad Keller Nails Down First MLB Win

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Brad Keller locked down the defending division champion Indians on Friday to score his first major league win. Keller tossed three scoreless innings as the Royals chipped away at the Indians staff and came back from a 9-5 deficit to steal a win. Keller has mostly served in short relief […]

Max Moroff Notches Two Hits on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Max Moroff went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in a victory over the San Francisco Giants on Friday. After going hitless in his first three at-bats, Moroff singled in the sixth inning and hit a laser of an opposite-field homer to right-center in the eighth to put a cap on […]

Eric Lauer Pummeled By Cardinals

San Diego Padres rookie starter Eric Lauer was roughed up for six earned runs in only 2 1/3 innings in Friday's loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Looking to build off ten consecutive scoreless innings, Lauer breezed through the first inning before coming undone. He ultimately gave up seven hits including four home runs, walked […]

Ben Zobrist Out of Saturday's Lineup

Chicago Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist will get the day off on Saturday, as manager Joe Maddon continues to monitor the 13-year veteran's workload. David Bote is starting in his place at the keystone and hitting eighth against starter James Shields and the White Sox. Bote is not someone to look at taking a flier […]

Josh Bell Knocks Second Homer in Four Games

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Josh Bell went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in an 11-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday evening. It was one of four homers on the day for Pirates hitters, a no-doubter that traveled an estimated 432 feet over the center-field wall in PNC Park. After going 124 […]
