Nolan Gorman Not In The Lineup On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman (back) is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. The 22-year-old missed Friday's contest as well with lower back tightness but he was able to appear as a pinch-hitter in that one. The Cards are just playing it safe with him for now. There's a […]

Willson Contreras Starting At Designated Hitter

St. Louis Cardinals catcher/designated hitter Willson Contreras (ankle) is serving as the team's designated hitter on Saturday and batting third against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran backstop hurt his ankle in Friday's series opener against Detroit but he's healthy enough to take at-bats on Saturday, which is a good sign. Andrew Knizner is batting ninth […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury News and Updates: Jose Altuve, Jacob deGrom, Liam Hendriks, Tyler Glasnow and more

The topsy-turvy baseball season continues chugging along into May. The Pirates are in first place along with the Rays and the Yankees and Cardinals are in last place. Just like we all expected. The new rules in baseball may have something to do with these results with more stolen bases and more offense in general. […]

Michael Brantley Might Return Early Next Week

According to Houston Astros skipper Dusty Baker, outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) might return early next week for the series with the Los Angeles Angels. The 35-year-old underwent shoulder surgery in August and recently began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land. Although Brantley is not the player he once was, he still has something to […]

Tarik Skubal To Throw Another Pen Session Saturday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal (elbow) will throw another bullpen session on Saturday. The 26-year-old remains on the IL after undergoing flexor tendon surgery in August.

Kutter Crawford Placed On 15-Day IL

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Kutter Crawford (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday, retroactive to May 4.

Skipper Alex Cora was optimistic the righty wouldn't require a stint on the IL. […]

Kyle Wright Has A Strained Shoulder

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright (shoulder) recently landed on the 15-day injured list. However, the team has reason to remain optimistic, with an MRI revealing on Friday that the righty has a shoulder strain. While the news is still not ideal, it's better than an alternative. Wright hasn't looked the best in 2023, amassing […]

Zach Jackson Tasked With The Ninth Inning On Friday

Oakland Athletics manager Mark Kotsay went with right-hander Zach Jackson in the ninth inning on Friday to complete the 12-8 win over the Kansas City Royals.

The 22-year-old may only be hitting .221 (23-for-104) with three doubles, a […]

Anthony Santander Goes Deep From Both Sides Of The Plate

Max Muncy Was Sick On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that infielder Max Muncy (illness) was sick all day, which is the reason he was removed from Friday's game early against the San Diego Padres.

Whit Merrifield Steals Three Bases Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Whit Merrifield could not be stopped on the base paths in Friday's 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, as he swiped three bases.

Liam Hendriks Has Scoreless Rehab Outing

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks made his first minor-league rehab appearance on Friday for Triple-A Charlotte and tossed a scoreless and hitless inning while striking out one batter. After being diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in January, Hendriks is now cancer-free and on the verge of making his season debut for the White Sox […]

James Paxton Throws Five Innings In Rehab Start

Boston Red Sox left-hander James Paxton (hamstring) made a minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Worcester on Friday and allowed two runs on two hits while walking five and striking out four in five innings of work.

Luis Garcia To Have Tommy John Surgery

Houston Astros starting pitcher Luis Garcia (elbow) will have Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery, according to general manager Dana Brown. A date for the surgery hasn't been set.
