Alex Cobb Will Make O's Debut In Boston

After going six innings in a minor league tune-up on Monday, Baltimore Orioles starter Alex Cobb will take the mound in Fenway Park on Saturday. It's been a whirlwind since he first signed late in spring training. Drawing the Red Sox is tough, since they seem determined to become the first team in Major League […]

Hunter Harvey Gets Called Up To The Majors

If Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Hunter Harvey looks a little familiar to long-time baseball fans, it's because his dad was former Major League closer Bryan Harvey. Hunter Harvey is going to be used in the bullpen for now, but he's not going to be the one ending games like his father. See how he does […]

Manny Machado Supplies Only Offense as O's Fall To Jays

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado is doing what he set out to do -- go out and wreak havoc on the league as he aims to make bank this upcoming offseason. He crushed his third homer of the year during Monday's game. It was a no-doubter off J.A. Happ. It was the only run as […]

Dylan Bundy Has Fantastic Start But Sees Bats Become Happ-Less Versus Jays

Baltimore Orioles starter Dylan Bundy wound up with the loss on Monday night, but it wasn't his fault. He pitched a strong seven innings, striking out seven and giving up two runs on a two-run homer by Steve Pearce. It was later in the game when Josh Donaldson's crushing grand slam homer -- when Bundy […]

Luiz Gohara Will Throw Side Session

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Luiz Gohara (ankle) is making strides in his recovery. He'll throw a side session, and the team expects him to be back in late April or early May. His role with the team will be determined on how Anibal Sanchez keeps faring as the No. 5 starter. Keep your eyes peeled […]

Julio Teheran The Hard-Luck Loser As Braves Get Blanked

Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran didn't have that bad of a game on Monday night, even with his four walks. The righty went six innings and struck out seven. He did give up two runs on one bad pitch to Howie Kendrick, who ripped a double that scored the only runs that Max Scherzer would […]

Miles Mikolas Allows Four Runs on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas lasted 6 1/3 innings on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers, giving up four runs on eight hits. He didn't issue a walk and struck out five.

Drew Pomeranz To Make A Second Rehab Start On Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz (forearm) will make another rehab start on Friday, this time at Double-A Portland, according to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe.

Andrew Miller Picks Up a Save on Monday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller picked up his first save of the season on Monday, tossing a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout. Cleveland closer Cody Allen had only thrown 28 pitches total, pitching in two games over the past three days, so it is unclear why exactly Miller was called upon for the […]

Phil Hughes Will Throw This Week

Minnesota Twins right-hander Phil Hughes (oblique) is scheduled to throw a side session either Tuesday or Wednesday this week. The veteran pitcher has been on the disabled list since the season began after coming down with an oblique strain during spring training.

Victor Robles Injures Wrist

Washington Nationals top prospect and outfielder Victor Robles exited his game with the Potomac Nationals in the second inning on Monday after injuring his wrist. He dove on a play awkwardly and left the game immediately. There's no word yet on the extent of the injury, but it means at the very least that his […]

Bradley Zimmer Hits His First Home Run of the Season on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer hit his first home run of the season on Monday, a two-run shot in the fifth inning. Zimmer is off to a slow start this season, hitting just .179 in the early going, but he has some serious upside and perhaps Monday's homer will be the start of a hot […]

Corey Kluber Dominates the Tigers on Monday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber dominated the Detroit Tigers in his start on Monday, tossing eight scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and a walk. Kluber struck out 13 in his eight innings of work, throwing 103 pitches, 72 for strikes. Kluber would likely have been left in for an attempt at a […]

Anthony Rizzo Lands On Disabled List

Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. Rizzo hasn’t played since this last Thursday, so his DL stint should be backdated to Friday. That would allow Rizzo to return next Monday versus the Cardinals. Backup catcher Victor Caratini has […]

Struggling Manuel Margot Batting Eighth Against Rockies

San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot is batting eighth against the Colorado Rockies on Monday. Pushed from the leadoff spot over the weekend against the Houston Astros, Margot will likely continue slotting at the bottom of the order until he finds his groove. Margot is off to a rough start with a .135 average, .416 […]

Padres Place Kirby Yates on DL

The San Diego Padres placed relief pitcher Kirby Yates on the disabled list with right ankle tendinitis. Yates was pulled on Saturday after throwing just one pitch. The 31-year-old righty had started the season hot as the Padres primary setup man with five strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings without allowing a run. The ankle issue […]

Leury Garcia Steals Two Bases Monday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia stole two bases on Monday versus the Tampa Bay Rays. Garcia drew his second consecutive start over outfielder Adam Engel and made the most of it.

Nick Delmonico Hits First Home Run Monday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Nick Delmonico hit his first home run of the season Monday. The two-run shot came off of Tampa Bay Rays starter Chris Archer.

Brett Cecil Still "A Couple Weeks Away"

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Brett Cecil (shoulder, ankle) is still "a couple weeks away" in his return from the disabled list.

Miguel Gonzalez Struggles Versus Rays Monday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Miguel Gonzalez struggled Monday versus the Tampa Bay Rays. Gonzalez went 4 1/3 innings in which he allowed eight hits and four runs. He also allowed two walks and didn’t record a strikeout. Gonzalez doesn’t hold much value and should be on the waiver wire. He’ll look to bounce back […]

Yoan Moncada Picks Up Two Hits Monday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada drew two walks and went 2-for-3 with two singles and two runs scored. He also struck out once. Moncada has gotten off two a slow start, but this is his second two-hit game in the past three games. He remains a potential 20/20 threat and should be owned […]

Josh Reddick Out Of Lineup With Illness

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick is out of the lineup Monday due to an illness, per MLB.com. Manager A.J. Hinch informed reporters that Reddick is under the weather but is available to pinch hit if necessary.

Greg Holland "Only Solves the Ninth"

St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said on Monday that the arrival of closer Greg Holland "only solves the ninth." The bullpen roles ahead of the ninth inning are still to be sorted out.

Luke Gregerson to Make His Third Rehab Appearance on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (hamstring) will make his third rehab appearance on Monday but will still need to pitch in back-to-back games before returning to the big league team.

Ian Kinsler Unsure When He Will Be Activated

Los Angeles Angels second baseman Ian Kinsler (groin) says he feels ready to play but is unsure if he will be activated from the disabled list when he is first eligible on Tuesday. This contradicts a previous report that said he would for sure be activated. Keep an eye on this situation if you are […]

Jonathan Villar To Rest Monday Against Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar will get the day off against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. Eric Sogard will take his place at second base as a result of this move. This is a rest day, as normally he was taking days off against lefties, but Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas is a righty. With the […]

Andrew Heaney Nearing Return

Los Angeles Angels starter Andrew Heaney (elbow) indicated that he is ready to pitch. The Angels have openings on both Thursday and Friday of this week, and Heaney will likely take one of those two spots. Heaney looked very solid in a rehab start at Single-A, so it is no surprise that he is nearing […]

Brett Phillips Called Up From Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Brett Phillips has been called up from the Triple-A affiliate Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Currently ranked No. 10 on the Brewers top-30 prospects, Phillips comes to the Brewers with a 1-for-7 stat line with a very impressive seven walks in 14 plate appearances with the Sky Sox.
