Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks (shoulder) picked up a win on Tuesday in his latest minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Iowa.

Carlos Carrasco Goes Three Innings In Rehab Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow, illness) made his first minor-league rehab start for Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday and allowed a run on three hits while walking one and striking out one in three innings of work.

Michael Brantley Shut Down From Hitting

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) has been shut down from hitting, according to manager Dusty Baker. The skipper also said it's unclear when Brantley will return and said it wasn't a setback. When specifically asked if Brantley had suffered a setback, Baker said, "Not really. We decided to just take it easy for a […]

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) said he threw 25 pitches during a bullpen session on Tuesday, reaching 91.6 mph with his fastball.

Jacob deGrom Could Be Out "Another 2-3 Weeks"

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) could be "another 2-3 weeks" from returning from the injured list. deGrom continues to only do light throwing as he rehabs from a right forearm/elbow injury, and the Rangers certainly aren't going to rush the oft-injured 34-year-old right-hander back into action. There is […]

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (neck, shoulder) said he expects to miss a couple of days and pitch against the Washington Nationals in the next series this weekend.

Geraldo Perdomo On The Bench Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo is sitting to start Tuesday's game against Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins.

Josh Rojas Not The In Lineup Again Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas is not in the lineup for a second consecutive day as the club faces a lefty for the second game in a row in Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins.

Kolten Wong Starting Tuesday On The Bench

Seattle Mariners second baseman Kolten Wong isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup against Andrew Heaney and the Texas Rangers.

Cal Raleigh Getting A Rest Tuesday

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is absent from Tuesday's starting lineup for the matchup with Andrew Heaney and the Texas Rangers. The slugging backstop is slashing .211/.301/.413 with five homers, 18 runs, 18 RBI, and no steals across 31 games. The club will have Tom Murphy behind the plate instead, batting seventh.

Robby Snelling - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Robby Snelling, SP, San Diego Padres ANALYSIS: Snelling is a talented, young southpaw who was selected 39th overall in the 2022 MLB Draft. The 19-year-old consistently lands his fastball in the mid-90s, and that could prove to be a lethal pitch that induces plenty of whiffs once he reaches the upper levels of pro […]

Nolan Arenado Returning On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (neck) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He sat out of Monday's series opener while dealing with neck stiffness. However, he's back on Tuesday, so it appears this is a minor issue for the All-Star slugger. He'll cover third base and […]

James Paxton To Pitch On Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher James Paxton (hamstring) is set to make his season debut against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

There aren't any […]
