Tyler O'Neill Benched For Disciplinary Reasons

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is being benched on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves for disciplinary reasons after manager Oliver Marmol thought O'Neill wasn't running the bases hard on Tuesday.

Jean Segura Continues To Bat Near Bottom Of Order

Miami Marlins infielder Jean Segura will make his sixth start of the season in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins at third base, but for the second consecutive game, will bat seventh. The 33-year-old was expected to be a key fixture at the top of the batting order for Skip Schumaker's club, but after batting […]

Vaughn Grissom Off To Hot Start

Atlanta Braves shortstop Vaughn Grissom continued his hot start for Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday with a 3-for-4 effort with a double and RBI. Grissom was a surprise demotion at the end of spring training, but the Braves wanted to get him more seasoning defensively. His replacement at the big-league level, Orlando Arcia, has been off […]

Kyle Manzardo Off To Slow Start

Tampa Bay Rays first base prospect Kyle Manzardo went 1-for-5 on Tuesday for Triple-A Durham, but has struggled to open the season with just three hits over his first 17 at-bats. Despite the slow start, it's a very small sample size and the on-base machine should be able to climb out of his slump sooner […]

Maikel Garcia Starts Triple-A Season On High Note

Kansas City Royals shortstop prospect Maikel Garcia continued his hot start in Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday. The 23-year-old went 1-for-2 with a home run, two runs and two walks.

Max Scherzer Struggling To Begin 2023

New York Mets star right-hander Max Scherzer's start on Tuesday didn't go as planned, as he allowed five earned runs across 5 1/3 innings.

Masyn Winn Picks Up Three Hits

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop prospect Masyn Winn went 3-for-5 with a triple and two runs on Tuesday for Triple-A Memphis. Winn, 21, had an impressive spring for the Cardinals and is making his debut in Triple-A this year. The Cardinals have one of the deepest rosters in the league, so Winn should be expected to […]

Kyle Harrison Struggles With Command

San Francisco Giants pitching prospect Kyle Harrison only lasted two innings in his debut for Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. The lefty tossed two innings and allowed four walks to go along with one hit, one run and four strikeouts. Harrison has quickly risen through the Giants farm system and had a chance to break camp […]

Trevor Larnach Starting The Year Off Strong

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach went 1-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Miami Marlins. It was another solid showing for the 26-year-old, who's slashing .421/.522/.684 with a home run, four runs, and five RBI over five games. Larnach is a recent former prospect but has yet to put it all together […]

Mookie Betts OK After Collision

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/second baseman Mookie Betts (ankle) collided with Jason Heyward on a pop-up during Tuesday's 5-2 win against the Colorado Rockies.
