Rangers Considering Acquiring Andrew McCutchen

The Texas Rangers have considered the possibility of acquiring Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen, but the Pirates aren't prepared to move him yet. The deal would have particular interest to the Rangers if at least one pitcher is part of the deal as well. The Rangers are seeking more production out of their designated-hitter spot, […]

AJ Smith-Shawver Sent To The Minors

The Atlanta Braves optioned right-handed rookie AJ Smith-Shawver to Triple-A Gwinnett after Sunday's game and recalled right-hander Dereck Rodriguez from the minors on Monday in a corresponding move. Smith-Shawver didn't pitch poorly in his first four major-league appearances (three starts), allowing eight runs (five earned) on 13 hits (five homers surrendered) while walking six and […]

Elvis Peguero Records First Career Save

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Elvis Peguero has been surprisingly solid out of the bullpen this season. The right-hander has a 2.89 ERA and a 25/11 K/BB ratio in 28 innings of work. He was asked to hold the lead versus the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Normally, Devin Williams is the closer, but he pitched a […]

Ryne Nelson Outstanding On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ryne Nelson looked outstanding during his start against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The right-hander racked up six strikeouts over seven strong innings of work. Nelson only allowed one-run, while issuing two free passes during this outing. He was nearly flawless in this game, so the D-Backs are hopeful this […]

MacKenzie Gore Piles Up Nine Strikeouts

Washington Nationals starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore was on his game versus the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The left-hander struck out nine batters, while only allowing a pair of walks in five innings of work. Gore gave up five hits in this game, but the only one that hurt was an RBI single by Fernando […]

Jeimer Candelario Homers For Second Straight Game

Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario has been a reliable option in the middle of the order all season long. The switch-hitter continued his hot stretch of play versus the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Candelario opened up the scoring with a 427-foot solo home run in the first inning. In the seventh inning, Candelario […]

Hunter Brown Looks Terrific In No-Decision

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown looked like he was in complete command throughout Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. His only mistake came when he gave up a leadoff home run to Mookie Betts. After that, Brown was sharp and threw six strong innings on Sunday. He racked up seven strikeouts, allowing three […]

Noelvi Marte Promoted To Triple-A

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Noelvi Marte has earned himself a promotion to Triple-A Louisville. The Reds already have shortstops Matt McLain and Elly De La Cruz making an impact at the big league level. Marte could be the next in line to make it to the Reds roster. The 21-year-old is slashing .281/.356/.464 with eight homers, […]
