New York Yankees infielder Brandon Drury (head) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Logan Forsythe Has Resumed Throwing

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Logan Forsythe (shoulder) has resume throwing on Monday. He's been battling a shoulder issue since spring training. The Dodgers originally thought Forsythe would be ready to return when he's first eligible on April 25, but that is obviously not going to happen.

Ryon Healy Could Return Next Week

Seattle Mariners corner infielder Ryon Healy (ankle) went 1 for 3 with a walk and two runs scored in his second rehab game with Double-A Arkansas on Monday.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (quad) will play first base at Double-A Bowie on Monday. He played one rehab game earlier this month before re-aggravating his injury.

Chris Rusin Headed to Disabled List

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Chris Rusin (ribs) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list.

Carlos Rodon Throws Three Innings Monday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (shoulder) threw three innings in an extended Spring Training game on Monday. He threw 34 pitches over that span. Rodon has been recovering well during his rehab and is targeting June as a return date. He is worth a stash in most leagues.

Elias returns to the team that signed him in 2011 and the Cuban left-hander was 1-0 with 1.23 ERA for the Red Sox Triple-A team this season. Elias simply had difficulty cracking into the Red Sox bullpen […]

Andrelton Simmons Out of Monday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons (forearm) is not in the lineup for Monday's game.

Brandon Guyer Gets the Start on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Brandon Guyer is starting in right field and batting ninth in Monday's game.

Carlos Correa Hitting .541 Over His Last Seven Games

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa has caught fire over the past week, posting 13 hits over his last 24 at-bats (.541) with one double, two home runs, seven runs batted in and seven walks.

Jake Marisnick Should Crack Lineup Monday Against Angels

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick has struggled mightily to begin the season, hitting only .130 with 29 strikeouts through 54 at-bats.

With all four outfielders finally […]

Josh Reddick Has Eight RBI Over Last Six Games

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick has enjoyed a productive past week, hitting three home runs with eight runs batted in over his last six games. These numbers have been inflated by his monster two-home run, five-RBI performance on Saturday against the White Sox, but Reddick now has six home runs in the month of April. […]

Rougned Odor Spotted Doing Running Drills

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor (hamstring) was running agility drills during practice, a sign that the infielder is nearing a return to action. The 24-year-old has been off of the field for two weeks now and has thus far had a season to forget. Fantasy owners will be anxious to see Odor get back […]

Kenley Jansen Picks Up Shaky Save

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen notched his third save of the year on Sunday, but not before providing some drama. He gave up two leadoff singles to Matt Adams and Wilmer Difo before setting down the next three batters, two by strikeout. His velocity on his cutter also got as high as 96 mph, […]

Juan Soto Promoted To High-A Potomac

Manager Dave Martinez and the team are hoping that Eaton can be ready for the series […]

Ryan Zimmerman Heating Up

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman is starting to look like himself again. He hit a double on Sunday and would eventually score, his only hit and run of the game. That was his sixth hit in his last 12 at-bats, and he's now raised his OPS from a dreadful .390 to .650 on the […]

Jeremy Hellickson Undone Third Time Through Order

Washington Nationals starter Jeremy Hellickson had difficulty handling the Dodgers' order a third time on Sunday. After a double to Corey Seager and a walk to Cody Bellinger in the first inning, Hellickson retired the next 14 batters.
