Yordan Alvarez Officially Placed On Injured List

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. This was expected after manager Dusty Baker mentioned Alvarez was likely to end up missing time. The left-handed slugger is dealing with a right oblique issue that forced him to exit early on Thursday. The organization will have […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. To Miss Fifth Straight Game

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This marks the fifth game in a row that Gurriel has missed due to a lingering groin issue. At this point, it's fair to wonder whether Gurriel will require a trip to the injured list. […]

Jake Fraley Remains Out On Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This marks the third game in a row that Fraley has missed due to a wrist contusion. It sounds like a minor issue, so the organization is hopeful to avoid the injured list. In the […]

Anthony Bass Designated For Assignment

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Anthony Bass has been designated for assignment by the organization on Friday. Bass recently shared an anti-LGBTQ+ video on social media. The highly-publicized off-field controversy was enough for the Blue Jays to move on from the 35-year-old. He has been struggling this season, posting a 4.95 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and […]

Cole Irvin To Start On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Cole Irvin will get the nod versus the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. This marks the first time that Irvin as made a start since April 13. He was solid in Triple-A, posting a 3.21 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 22/4 K/BB across seven starts in Norfolk. It's uncertain if the 29-year-old […]

Marcell Ozuna Hits 12th Homer In Wild Win

Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Marcell Ozuna went 1-for-5 with his 12th home run of the season, an RBI, run scored and three strikeouts in the team's wild 13-10 walk-off victory over the division-rival New York Mets on Thursday night. Ozuna's long ball was one of five for the Braves in the extra-inning affair. The 32-year-old […]

Michael Grove Making Next Start Against Phillies

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Michael Grove will remain in the starting rotation and make his next start on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies on the road. This will be Grove's second start since returning from an injured-list stint. The 26-year-old has been very hittable so far in his five starts in 2023, and he allowed […]

Nationals Release Erasmo Ramirez

The Washington Nationals released right-hander Erasmo Ramirez on Thursday. The Nationals had designated Ramirez for assignment the day prior, and now he's free to sign with any team he pleases.
