Anthony Rendon Held Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (shin) will remain out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Tigers Throw Combined No-Hitter

The Detroit Tigers have made history versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Right-hander Matt Manning did most of the heavy lifting. He went 6 2/3 hitless innings before being relieved at 91 pitches. It was hard to imagine him going the distance with his pitch count already that high. Reliever Jason Foley came on […]

Jordan Hicks Fires Scoreless Inning

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jordan Hicks was called upon to hold a three-run lead versus the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. The right-hander allowed two one-out singles, but settled down after that. He struck out Jake Burger before getting Gavin Sheets to line out to end the contest. The hard-throwing righty earned his seventh […]

Josh Lowe Placed On Medical Emergency List

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe has been placed on the family medical emergency list on Saturday.

Ryan Yarbrough Expected To Start On Sunday

Kansas City Royals left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough (head) is expected to return and start Sunday's meeting with the Guardians.

Yarbrough appeared in 10 games this season before going down, starting three, and compiled […]

Yu Chang Taking Saturday Off

Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang (wrist, hand) won't play on Saturday.

Chang recently returned from a lengthy stint on the injured list […]

Andrew Painter Receives Good News

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter (elbow) recently underwent tests after experiencing more discomfort in his right elbow. Luckily, the results revealed his partially torn UCL is healing, although the team will give him some time to rest before considering the next step in his rehab process.

Austin Pruitt Now Starting Against Boston

Oakland Athletics right-hander Austin Pruitt will start Saturday's meeting with the Red Sox. Paul Blackburn (illness) was initially scheduled to be on the hill for this one. However, he's under the weather, so Pruitt will enter the equation. The 33-year-old has appeared in 23 games this season, starting three, and has amassed a 1-5 record […]

Paul Blackburn Scratched From Start On Saturday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Paul Blackburn (illness) won't play against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. The 29-year-old isn't feeling well. However, an official diagnosis hasn't been made public, so it's anyone's guess if he'll miss any more time moving ahead. In the meantime, Austin Pruitt will take Blackburn's spot on the bump. The right-hander […]

Kaleb Ort Placed On 15-Day Injured List

Boston Red Sox reliever Kaleb Ort (elbow) landed on the 15-day injured list on Friday, retroactive to July 5. The 31-year-old hasn't done anything beneficial for fantasy managers this season and is currently sitting on a horrendous 6.26 ERA. But the move to the IL opened up a spot for James Paxton, who was out […]

Pablo Reyes To Remain Out Beyond All-Star Break

Boston Red Sox infielder Pablo Reyes (abdomen) won't rejoin the big club before the All-Star break. The 29-year-old, who has been out a few weeks because of an abdominal strain, recently began a rehab assignment. He's played well during his time in Triple-A, with skipper Alex Cora stating, "he's doing well." However, with Yu Chang […]

Salvador Perez Absent From The Lineup On Saturday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians. This looks to just be a routine day off for the veteran backstop as Freddy Fermin is starting behind the plate and batting fifth against rookie starter Gavin Williams. Perez should be back out there for Sunday's series […]

Luis Arraez Getting A Breather On Saturday

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 26-year-old hitting machine is getting a breather on Saturday so Bryan De La Cruz is batting leadoff while Garrett Hampson is drawing the start at second base and batting ninth against Phillies' starter Ranger Suarez. Arraez […]

Jeimer Candelario Returns To The Lineup On Saturday

Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (knee) is back in the lineup on Saturday against the Texas Rangers. The 29-year-old missed Friday's contest with knee soreness but he's back in the lineup for this one, serving as the Nats' DH and batting third against Andrew Heaney. Candelario has been a solid contributor this season and […]

Drey Jameson Transferred To The 60-Day Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Drey Jameson (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. The former first-round pick was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday with elbow inflammation but was quickly moved to the 60-day on Saturday, which doesn't bode well for his recovery. He will now be out until at […]

Andrew Benintendi Taking A Seat On Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 29-year-old is sitting out while rookie Zach Remillard draws the start at second base and bats leadoff while Luis Robert Jr., Oscar Colas, and Gavin Sheets round out the White Sox outfield. Benintendi hasn't really […]

Jordan Westburg Not In The Lineup On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Minnesota Twins. Ramón Urias (third base) and Adam Frazier (second base) are getting starts to round out the Orioles infield, leaving the rookie Westburg on the bench for this one. The 24-year-old has been rock-solid since his call-up, slashing .314/.400/.457 with […]

Joely Rodriguez Activated From The 15-Day Injured List

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Joely Rodriguez (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list on Saturday. Rodriguez missed a little over a month of action with left shoulder inflammation.

Willson Contreras Remains Out On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (mouth) is out of the lineup on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. Contreras had a dental procedure earlier in the week and sat out of Friday's contest as well. Rookie Ivan Herrera is starting behind the plate and batting eighth against Touki Toussaint.
