Carlos Correa Sitting Out, Joey Gallo Returns Saturday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) is out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Meanwhile, first baseman/outfielder Joey Gallo (hamstring) is back in there, starting at first base and batting leadoff against Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt. Correa is battling plantar fasciitis in his foot and missed a few games […]

Anthony Volpe Hitting In Nine-Hole Against Padres

New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe has been dropped to ninth in the batting order on Saturday against right-hander Michael Wacha and the San Diego Padres. Volpe earned himself the starting shortstop gig to open the 2023 season because of an impressive spring training, but he's starting to really struggle at the plate. The […]

Javier Baez Starting On The Bench Saturday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez will start on the bench on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. It will be the first time that Baez isn't in the team's starting lineup in a month, so it's just a regular day of rest. So far in the month of May, the 30-year-old free-swinger has gone 22-for-92 […]

Luis Robert Jr. Out Against Tigers

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Detroit Tigers. Robert dealt with tightness in his hip earlier in the week and didn't play on Wednesday, but this looks to be just a normal day of rest for the oft-injured outfielder. In the two games […]

Ha-Seong Kim Returns To Lineup Saturday

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday and is starting at shortstop and batting eighth against the New York Yankees and right-hander Luis Severino. Kim is starting at the 6 with Xander Bogaerts dealing with some wrist soreness. Kim fouled a ball off his left knee on […]

Xander Bogaerts Out With Wrist Soreness

San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts (wrist) is out of the lineup on Saturday against the New York Yankees with wrist soreness. It's unknown if the injury is serious enough to potentially land Bogaerts on the injured list, but it could help explain why he's hit just .195 (16-for-82) with only one home run and […]

Jordan Romano Registers His 11th Save On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jordan Romano closed out Friday's 3-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. The 30-year-old threw one inning, giving up one hit without a walk or a strikeout, earning his 11th save of the season. Romano has remained a top closer in baseball this season, sporting a 3.15 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 28.2% […]

Chad Kuhl Picks Up His First Career Save Friday

Washington Nationals right-hander Chad Kuhl, who recently moved to the bullpen, earned his first career save on Friday when his team beat the Kansas City Royals 12-10.

Unfortunately, he landed on the 15-day injured list nearly a week ago because of right shoulder impingement syndrome. However, it appears Keller is […]

Michael Brantley Not Hitting Yet

According to Astros manager Dusty Baker, outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) hasn't resumed hitting. Although the 36-year-old has swung a bat, it doesn't appear he's anywhere close to a return. Brantley has been on the shelf since June 2022 and underwent surgery in August. At this rate, nobody knows for sure when he will be back […]

Jose Urquidy Throws On Flat Ground

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy (shoulder) threw from flat ground on Friday. The 28-year-old has been on the injured list since May 1 because of shoulder inflammation.
