Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Greene had an outstanding outing, throwing six no-hit innings as the Reds topped the Chicago Cubs 9-0 Friday. Greene registered 110 pitches, striking out 11 batters while surrendering only two walks. For the 23-year-old, it was his first win in 2023. Success in Friday's start should be a much-needed boost for […]

Brad Keller To Throw Bullpen Session On Saturday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session on Saturday. The 27-year-old is 3-4 with a 4.36 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 43 1/3 inning this season. 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. But it appears he's moving in the right direction, considering he wasn't throwing as of Wednesday. Urquidy was 2-2 with a 5.20 ERA in 27 2/3 innings […]

John Means Suffers Setback

According to Orioles general manager Mike Elias, starting pitcher John Means (elbow, back) suffered a setback. The 30-year-old had been working his way back from Tommy John surgery, recently throwing bullpen sessions. However, he's now burdened by a muscle strain in his scapula area, delaying his return until July. Of course, Means wasn't the most […]

Dillon Tate To Remain On The Injured List

Baltimore Orioles reliever Dillon Tate (elbow) will remain on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander was battling a forearm flexor strain and recently finished a rehab assignment. Unfortunately, he's now dealing with an elbow stress reaction and was shut down as a result. Tate finished the 2022 season with a 4-4 record and a 3.05 […]

Adam Duvall To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall (wrist) will start his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Worcester. Duvall resumed hitting off a tee and doing soft toss last weekend, so he's expected to be around three weeks from returning to the major-league roster. The 34-year-old power-hitting outfielder has been rehabbing from a fractured left […]

Danny Jansen Lands On Injured List

The Toronto Blue Jays placed catcher Danny Jansen (groin) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 25) on Friday with a left-groin strain and recalled catcher Tyler Heineman from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Jansen won't return until June now after injuring his groin running to first base in the game on Wednesday […]

Liam Hendriks Throws Batting Practice Session

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks was able to throw a live batting practice session on Friday. The right-hander threw around 20 pitches to three different batters. This might be the final hurdle for Hendriks to clear before he's able to return from the injured list. The team has not given a clear timetable […]

Spencer Steer A Home Run Away From The Cycle On Friday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Spencer Steer went 3-for-6 with an RBI, a run scored, and a strikeout in a 9-0 shutout win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Steer was a home run away from the cycle in this one as he opened up the scoring with his first three-bagger of the season. After he laced […]

Jose Altuve Returning To The Lineup On Friday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He was removed from Tuesday's game due to an illness and has been sidelined since then. Luckily, Altuve is feeling better now and appears ready to play once again. He'll cover second base and bat […]

Tyler Stephenson Collects Three Hits As Reds Rout Cubs

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson went 3-for-5 with two RBI, a double, a run scored, and a strikeout in a 9-0 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Stephenson and the Reds were all over Cubs ace Justin Steele in this one, tagging him for six runs (five earned). The 26-year-old backstop notched a pair […]

Jake McCarthy Officially Recalled, Starting On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy has been officially recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday. The left-handed slugger struggled during his 17-game stint on the MLB roster earlier in the season. Since then, McCarthy is slashing .333/.419/.533 with four homers and four stolen bases in 22 games in the minors. The organization is hopeful that he […]

Rafael Devers Gets Rare Off Day

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This appears to be a rare off day for the 26-year-old slugger. He has been hot, Devers is slashing .249/.290/.513 with 13 homers and 44 RBI in 48 games this season. Justin Turner will cover […]

Joey Gallo Continues To Sit Out

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The left-handed slugger has been sidelined since Sunday due to a hamstring issue. It doesn't sound like the Twins plan on placing Gallo on the injured list. Instead, they will continue to give him rest […]

Carlos Correa Hopeful To Avoid Injured List

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) is in the starting lineup on Friday despite dealing with an injury. Correa was scratched from Tuesday's contest due to plantar fasciitis in his left heel. This is the type of injury that can really only be healed with rest. Manager Rocco Baldelli said the organization is hopeful that […]

Jared Walsh To Sit Out On Friday

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. The left-handed slugger will take a seat here versus the lefty starting pitcher. Walsh has struggled since returning from the injured list. He's slashing .133/.235/.133 with one RBI and a 6/2 K/BB across four games […]

Mickey Moniak Remains Out Of The Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. The left-handed slugger will receive his second rest day in a row. The Angels are facing another left-handed starter, so they've decided to give Moniak another day off. Taylor Ward will bat leadoff and cover left […]

Luis Arraez Returning On Friday

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (leg) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Arraez was pulled out of Wednesday's contest due to a left leg cramp. The Marlins had Arraez sit out of Thursday's game as a precaution. He'll cover second base and bat third versus lefty […]

Nolan Jones Recalled, Brenton Doyle Not Expected To Go On IL

The Colorado Rockies will recall corner infielder/outfielder Nolan Jones from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday and option first baseman Michael Toglia to Albuquerque in a corresponding move. The belief is rookie outfielder Brenton Doyle (knee) won't land on the 10-day injured list after injuring his knee during a crash into the outfield wall on Thursday. Doyle, […]

Sean Murphy Getting A Breather Friday

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is getting a day to rest on Friday as the team takes on the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Taijuan Walker. Murphy has now been out of Atlanta's lineup for two of the last three games, but it hasn't been for a lack of production at the plate. The 28-year-old […]

Cedric Mullins Returns To Lineup Against Rangers

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is back in the starting lineup and his customary leadoff spot on Friday to face right-hander Jon Gray and the Texas Rangers at Camden Yards.
