IL Stint Coming For Garrett Whitlock, But Injury Not Considered Serious

Boston Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock (elbow) left his start early on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays due to tightness in his right elbow, and although he's expected to need a stint on the 15-day injured list, the Red Sox don't believe it's a long-term injury after he underwent an MRI exam on Monday, […]

Joey Gallo Sitting Out Versus Lefty

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo is absent from Monday's starting lineup versus the Kansas City Royals.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Yankees.

Austin Hays Absent On Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (wrist) is absent from Monday's starting lineup versus the New York Yankees. This isn't surprising considering Hays suffered a left hip contusion from Sunday's game. He suffered the injury when he collided with Reds infielder Donovan Solano during their last contest. It's not shocking to see the O's being extremely […]

Nick Madrigal Removed Early On Monday

Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Absent On Monday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique) is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals.

Seiya Suzuki Still Feeling Neck Issues

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said that outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is still feeling neck issues, which is why he wasn't included in the starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers.
