Byron Buxton Absent From Lineup Again Monday

Outfielder/designated hitter Byron Buxton (back) will not start Monday as the Minnesota Twins travel to Atlanta to face the Braves and right-hander Spencer Strider. Buxton left Saturday's game in Detroit after his third at-bat due to back spasms and did not start in the finale on Sunday, though he did ground out in his lone […]

Joey Votto Gets The Day Off Monday At Baltimore

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto is not in the lineup Monday night against left-handed starter Cole Irvin and the Baltimore Orioles. The presumed rest day comes one week after Votto made his 2023 debut, which was delayed due to a lengthy shoulder injury. The 2010 MVP started six consecutive games in the sixth spot […]

C.J. Cron Activated From Injured List

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (back) should return to the starting lineup on Tuesday at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers after he was activated from the injured list on Monday afternoon. The 33-year-old has been out since May 15 due to back spasms. Cron will presumably slot back into the heart of the […]

Jordan Westburg Bats Seventh In MLB Debut

The Baltimore Orioles will start rookie call-up Jordan Westburg at second base on Monday against the Cincinnati Reds and left-hander Brandon Williamson, and he will bat seventh in the order behind All-Star center fielder Cedric Mullins. The 24-year-old spent the first half of the season raking at Triple-A Norfolk to the tune of a .295/.372/.567 […]

Francisco Alvarez Hitting Ninth Monday

New York Yankees catcher Francisco Alvarez is doing the catching and is batting ninth in the lineup on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Colin Rea. Alvarez went hitless in six at-bats on Friday and Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies and was given a day to rest on Sunday, but he's back in there […]

Nationals Release Chad Kuhl

The Washington Nationals requested unconditional release waivers on right-hander Chad Kuhl on Monday. The team also recalled relief pitcher Amos Willingham from the minors ahead of the series opener against the Seattle Mariners. Kuhl was designated for assignment on Saturday and wasn't claimed on waivers. He'll head back to the free-agent market after inking a […]

Wade Miley To Start Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Wade Miley (side) will make the start on Wednesday against the New York Mets. Miley won't end up missing a start after dealing with cramping in his right side in his last start on June 23 against the Cleveland Guardians, when he tossed six shutout innings with three strikeouts and no walks. […]

Adrian Houser To Start On Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Adrian Houser will return to the starting rotation and make the start on Thursday against the New York Mets. Left-hander Wade Miley will toe the rubber on Wednesday. Houser's last two appearances have been out of the bullpen for the Brewers, but he's also made seven starts for the Brew Crew in […]

Cal Quantrill Goes Five Innings In Rehab Start

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Cal Quantrill (shoulder) looked good in a minor-league rehab start for Double-A Akron on Sunday, giving up no runs on three hits while walking one and striking out three in his five innings of work. Quantrill threw 58 pitches in the outing and will likely need one more rehab outing before the […]

Levi Stoudt Optioned To Triple-A After Spot Start

The Cincinnati Reds optioned rookie right-hander Levi Stoudt to Triple-A Louisville on Monday and also designated right-hander Randy Wynne for assignment. In corresponding moves, the team recalled right-hander Eduardo Salazar from Louisville and selected the contract of pitcher Jake Wong from Louisville. Stoudt got the spot start against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday in the […]

George Springer Goes Deep In Win Over A's

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer had a big day at the plate in the 12-1 beatdown of the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Springer went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk while serving as the designated hitter. Springer got the party started with a leadoff home run, the […]

Carlos Rodon Looks Great In Second Rehab Start

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back) is getting closer to making his debut for the Yankees in 2023. In his second minor-league rehab start for Double-A Somerset on Sunday, he didn't allow a run while giving up just one hit, walking none and striking out four in four innings of work. Rodon was able […]

Trevor Rogers Shut Down Through All-Star Break

Miami Marlins left-hander Trevor Rogers (lat) will be shut down from throwing through the All-Star break and hopes to have a better timeline for a potential return from a partial tear in his right, non-throwing lat after that. Rogers has a long recovery ahead of him and hasn't pitched in a game since April 19, […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Could Return During Road Trip

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (toe) could come off the injured list to rejoin the team during their road trip this week. "He's trending in the right direction," manager Skip Schumaker said over the weekend. "Hopefully we'll see him at some point on this road trip. I'm not going to put a timeline on […]

Colt Keith Promoted To Triple-A

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Colt Keith was promoted from Double-A Erie to Triple-A Toledo on Monday. The club's No. 1 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, earned the promotion by hitting an impressive .325/.391/.585 with a .977 OPS, a career-high 14 home runs, 18 doubles, two triples, 50 RBI, two stolen bases and 43 runs scored in […]

Luis Robert Jr. Leaves The Yard Twice Sunday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. did all the heavy lifting in Sunday's 4-1 win over the visiting Boston Red Sox on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored. Robert is now up to 21 home runs on the season and has been sizzling-hot in his last eight […]

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, […]
