Pete Fairbanks' Hip "Locked Up" While Warming Up On Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Pete Fairbanks' hip "locked up" on him while he was warming up in the bullpen during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Emilio Pagan Leaves Early With Possible Arm Injury

Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Emilio Pagan (arm) left Sunday's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays early after facing just one batter in relief.

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Vince Velasquez (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort.

He's heading for his second stint on the injured list due […]

Jack Suwinski Absent From Sunday's Lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski is not in the lineup for Sunday's matchup with Marco Gonzales and the Seattle Mariners.

Chris Owings is taking his spot in the lineup, […]

Jon Berti Getting A Day Off Sunday

Miami Marlins utility man Jon Berti is not in Sunday's lineup for the game against the Los Angeles Angels.

The 38-year-old […]

Zach Neto Off On Sunday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto is missing from the lineup for Sunday's game against Eury Perez and the Miami Marlins. The rookie has been decent over 39 games, slashing .252/.327/.389 with three homers and three steals. Livan Soto is playing short instead and batting ninth. The 22-year-old has played in just one game this […]

Hunter Renfroe Getting A Rest Sunday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Hunter Renfroe is getting a breather on Sunday in the matchup with Eury Perez and the Miami Marlins. The veteran has been solid with the bat, slashing .250/.303/.450 with 10 bombs, 30 runs, and 29 RBI across 51 contests. Taylor Ward will get a chance to play, batting eighth. The 29-year-old […]

Dinelson Lamet Likely Starting Wednesday

Colorado Rockies right-hander Dinelson Lamet (back) will probably start Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post. The right-hander hasn't pitched since May 3 after suffering back issues and landing on the injured list. Over 10.2 frames before the injury, Lamet pitched to a 12.66 ERA, 2.44 WHIP, and […]

Max Muncy Left Early With A Hamstring Cramp

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hamstring) exited Sunday's contest against the Rays early with a hamstring cramp. Muncy started pulling up and limping while running the bases in the third inning of Sunday's game and exited the contest shortly thereafter. It's nice to hear it's just a cramp and not […]

Jeff McNeil Not In The Lineup On Sunday Against Colorado

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil (groin) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Colorado Rockies. McNeil is dealing with some groin discomfort, according to Mets manager Buck Showalter so he's giving the 31-year-old the day off on Sunday. He will be available off the bench but the Mets are going […]

Jesse Winker Scratched With Neck Discomfort

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Jesse Winker (neck) has been scratched with neck discomfort.

It'll now be Darin Ruf serving as the Brewers' DH and batting eighth against San Francisco starter Alex Cobb.

Juan Soto Scratched With Back Tightness On Sunday

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto (back) has been scratched from Sunday's lineup due to back tightness. Soto was originally in the lineup against the Yankees and was scratched late so something must have flared up during pregame warmups. The Padres should make a formal announcement following the game. Jose Azocar is starting in left […]

Kyle Tucker Scratched From Sunday's Lineup

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker has been scratched from Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Tucker was on the original lineup card, batting fifth, but the Astros have now removed him three hours before the first pitch.

Matt Moore Lands On The 15-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Matt Moore (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right oblique strain on Sunday. Moore is arguably the Angels' most effective reliever so this is a rough loss for the Halos. He put together an impressive 1.44 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, 21:7 K/BB ratio, and 12 holds over […]

Brenton Doyle Still Absent From The Lineup On Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle (knee) is absent from the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the New York Mets.

The Rockies are hoping that the 25-year-old will avoid the injured list, but that's still to […]

Esteury Ruiz Sitting Out On Sunday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Houston Astros. This looks to be a day off for the speedy 24-year-old.

Josh Donaldson Could See Another Rehab Game On Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) could see another minor-league rehab game on Tuesday before joining the team, per manager Aaron Boone.

Anthony Santander Back In The Lineup On Sunday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (elbow) is back in the lineup on Sunday for the series finale against the Texas Rangers. Santander missed Saturday's contest with elbow soreness, per manager Brandon Hyde. The issue must not be too serious and he's starting in right field and batting cleanup against Texas starter Cody Bradford.

Max Muncy Leaves Game Early Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (knee) was having his left knee examined in the top of the third inning of Sunday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays before being removed. Muncy was limping on the bases the inning prior but managed to tag up and advance twice. Chris Taylor replaced him at third base, […]

Jose Trevino Could Return Tuesday

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) will travel with the team to Seattle early next week, and he's in play to be activated from the injured list on Tuesday. Trevino has been sidelined since May 17 with a left-hamstring strain, but he's nearing a return to the team's active roster. When he returns, he'll […]

Giancarlo Stanton Could Begin Rehab Assignment Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) could begin his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday, and he isn't being ruled out yet for the series next weekend on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to manager Aaron Boone. Stanton has been out since mid-April with a hamstring strain, but he took on-field […]

Xander Bogaerts Back In Sunday's Lineup

San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts (wrist) has returned to the team's starting lineup on Sunday against the New York Yankees and right-hander Gerrit Cole, and he'll be hitting cleanup for the Friars. Bogaerts took Saturday's game off while dealing with wrist soreness, but it's apparently not much of an issue. Ha-Seong Kim will move […]

Carlos Rodon To Throw Bullpen On Monday

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back) is "doing well" and will travel with the team on their west-coast road trip to Seattle and Los Angeles this week, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Josh Fleming Starting Against Dodgers Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Josh Fleming is getting the nod as the starter on Sunday in the series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers, so the Rays won't be using an opener with their bullpen being worked a lot of late. Rookie Taj Bradley was expected to get the nod on Sunday, but the Rays […]
