Max Fried Lifting Weights

According to Braves manager Brian Snitker, starting pitcher Max Fried (forearm) has been lifting weights. The left-hander has been on the 15-day injured list after suffering a strained forearm. There was talk he'd miss a few months. However, the fact he's at least doing something is a positive sign. Fried had played well before going […]

Carlos Rodon Throws From 120 Feet

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back, elbow) threw from 120 feet on Friday. The 30-year-old tossed from 90 feet on Wednesday, so he's moving in the right direction. He'll also play catch in the coming days. Unfortunately, nobody knows when Rodón will be on the bump, which is a tough blow for the fantasy […]

Ramon Urias Moving In The Right Direction

According to Orioles skipper Brandon Hyde, infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) traveled with the team to Toronto. Additionally, Urias hit pregame on Saturday and is set to do some light base running on Sunday. The 28-year-old is on the 10-day injured list because of a left hamstring strain. However, it sounds like he's moving in the […]

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Luke Voit (neck) was sent to Triple-A Nashville for a rehab assignment. The 32-year-old has struggled in his first season in Milwaukee, batting .221 with 15 hits and 27 strikeouts in 68 at-bats. Hopefully, some time away from the big club will do Voit some good. But until he gets his […]

Elvis Andrus "A Bit Ahead Of Schedule"

According to White Sox manager Pedro Grifol, infielder Elvis Andrus (oblique) is progressing. Even better, the veteran may be working his way back sooner than anticipated. "Those oblique strains have a mind of their own," said Grifol. "His body has healed quickly from this and is able to do some things that put him a […]

Miguel Castro Notches Fourth Save

Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Miguel Castro allowed one walk while striking out three to pick up the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Logan Webb Removed With Back Tightness

San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb (back) was removed from Saturday's start against the Miami Marlins due to lower back tightness.
