Noah Syndergaard Nearing Rehab Assignment

According to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, Dodgers starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (finger) will begin a rehab assignment soon. Skipper Dave Roberts didn't specify how long it would last, only stating it would depend on "health and performance.." The 30-year-old has been on the shelf since the beginning of June because of a […]

Jordan Montgomery Exits Early On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (leg) exited Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The 30-year-old logged 4 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and one run while striking out five.

Skipper John Schneider stated he could pitch four innings this time, […]

Brandon Drury Still Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) hasn't started baseball activities. The veteran appeared in 75 games this season, batting a career-high .277 with 78 hits, 14 home runs, and 45 RBI. But Drury landed on the injured list because of a left shoulder contusion, and he continues to be bothered […]

Zach Neto Scheduled For Live Hitting

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (oblique) is scheduled for live hitting on Saturday. The 22-year-old has been on the injured list since mid-June after suffering an oblique strain. He played well before going down, batting .259 with 45 hits, six home runs, and 22 RBI. Fortunately, he's made progress since then, so it's possible […]

Matt Moore Scheduled To Face Hitters Saturday

Los Angeles Angels reliever Matt Moore (oblique) is scheduled to face hitters on Saturday. The 34-year-old appeared in 22 games before going down with an oblique strain in May, amassing a 3-1 record with a 1.44 ERA and 12 holds. But he has been working his way back since then, recently throwing a bullpen session […]

Dominic Canzone Called Up To Majors

The Arizona Diamondbacks have selected the contract of outfield prospect Dominic Canzone. In the process, Arizona optioned outfielder Dominic Fletcher and designated left-handed pitcher Konnor Pilkington for assignment. Canzone has put together an incredible season with Triple-A Reno, slashing .354/.431/.634 with 16 home runs, 71 RBI, 61 runs, and two stolen bases in 71 games. […]

Tyler Glasnow Leaves Early Due To Hand Cramping

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow left his start early on Friday against the visiting Atlanta Braves due to cramping in his left, non-throwing hand. It's something that he has dealt with in the past, but it's nothing serious. Before departing early, Glasnow allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits (one homer) while walking […]

Jose Urquidy To Face Hitters Sunday

Houston Astros right-hander Jose Urquidy (shoulder) will face live hitters again on Sunday in a batting practice session. Urquidy also faced live hitters on Tuesday, so the 28-year-old starter is getting closer to being cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment. He's been sidelined since May 1 with right-shoulder inflammation, so Urquidy is probably going to […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Goes Back On Injured List

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) back on the 10-day injured list on Friday and recalled right-hander Cody Bolton from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. Hayes just returned from a short stint on the 10-day injured list due to lower-back inflammation on Thursday and went 0-for-3 with a walk and two […]

Pirates Place Andrew McCutchen On 10-Day Injured List

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder/designated hitter Andrew McCutchen (elbow) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to July 6) on Friday and also recalled first baseman Ji Man Choi (Achilles) from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. To make room for Choi on the 40-man roster, the Bucs activated left-hander Rob Zastryzny (forearm) from […]

Corbin Carroll Back In The Lineup Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (shoulder) is right back in the team's lineup on Friday to start a series against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates and veteran left-hander Rich Hill. Carroll is starting in center field and batting second in the lineup. The 22-year-old missed three starts last weekend due to a right-shoulder injury and then […]

Jo Adell Starting In Center Field

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell is making the start in center field and batting fifth in the lineup on Friday against right-hander Tony Gonsolin and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's Adell's second straight start since being called up earlier this week. He's only played in three games this year, but he's gone 3-for-8 with […]

Anthony Rendon Remains Out Against Dodgers

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (shin) is missing from the team's starting lineup again on Friday for the series opener against the crosstown Los Angeles Dodgers. Mike Moustakas will make the start at the hot corner and bat sixth in the lineup against Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin. Rendon fouled a ball off his […]

Miguel Vargas Not In The Lineup On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Miguel Vargas is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This appears to be a routine rest day for Vargas who has struggled heavily at the plate this season. He's slashing .197/.300/.370 with seven home runs and 32 RBI in 69 games. Mookie Betts […]

Jeimer Candelario Out Of The Lineup

Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 29-year-old will sit out this contest after getting hit in the knee by a pitch during Thursday's game. The expectation is that this is a day-to-day issue, so hopefully Candelario will avoid a trip […]

Brandon Woodruff To Throw Bullpen Session On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) looked sharp during his throwing session on Friday, according to Adam McCalvy. The next step is for Woodruff to take the mound for a bullpen session on Sunday. It sounds like the 30-year-old will stay in Milwaukee over the All-Star break to continue his rehab program. The expectation […]

Keibert Ruiz To Rest On Friday

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. The Nats will give Ruiz a break after he went 1-for-9 with three strikeouts over the last two games. The 24-year-old is slashing .225/.279/.360 with nine home runs and 31 RBI in 70 games this season. Riley […]
