Quatraro has spent the last five seasons as the bench coach to Kevin Cash in Tampa Bay. He'll […]

Brennen Davis To Miss The Rest Of Arizona Fall League

Chicago Cubs outfielder Brennen Davis (back) will miss the rest of the Arizona Fall League. This is not good news after Davis missed most of the season due to surgery on his legs. Luckily, this sounds like it's only back tightness, so hopefully it won't linger into Spring Training. The Cubs were expected to add […]

Dillon Dingler Leaves Arizona Fall League

Detroit Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler (knee) has left the Arizona Fall League. The 24-year-old is dealing with knee soreness, but the good news is that the tests came back negative. The expectation is that Dingler will be fully healthy for the beginning of spring training. He slashed .238/.333/.419 with 14 homers across 387 plate appearances […]

Ranger Suarez Gets The Nod For Game 4

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez will get the start in Game 4, according to manager Rob Thompson. The Phillies announced they will start right-hander Noah Syndergaard on Monday, so the lefty will get the nod on Tuesday. The 27-year-old has a 1.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 9/5 K/BB ratio across 9 2/3 innings this […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Named Game 3 Starter

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. will get the nod for Monday's Game 3 against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to manager Dusty Baker. The right-hander pitched in Game 4 of their last series, so this appears to be a minor change. Now, Cristian Javier is likely to take the mound for Game 4, but […]

Alex Bregman Goes Deep In Saturday's Win

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman played a key role in Saturday's World Series Game 2 against the Philadelphia Phillies, going 1-for-4, but that lone hit was a two-run shot off of Zack Wheeler that helped his club win 5-2. Over nine games this postseason, the 28-year-old is batting .316 with three home runs and […]

Jose Altuve Breaking Out Of His Slump

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve had a big day at the plate on Saturday, going 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored to help his club win Game 2 of the World Series 5-2 against the Philadelphia Phillies. The former MVP started the postseason in an 0-for-25 slump and is batting just .171 […]

Zack Wheeler Loses Saturday's Game 2

Philadelphia Phillies starter Zack Wheeler couldn't limit the Houston Astros offense during Saturday's World Series Game 2, allowing five runs (four earned) while walking and striking out three apiece over five innings. He was tagged with the loss and is 1-2 in postseason play, but he owns a 2.67 ERA over five starts. The 32-year-old […]

Noah Syndergaard To Start Game 3 Of World Series

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Noah Syndergaard will start Game 3 of the World Series against the Houston Astros on Monday in Philadelphia, while left-hander Ranger Suarez will get the nod for Game 4 on Tuesday. Game 3 will be Syndergaard's second start of the postseason, with his first coming in Game 4 of the National League […]

Aledmys Diaz In Astros Lineup For Game 2

Houston Astros utility man Aledmys Diaz is in the starting lineup on Saturday, batting seventh and playing left field in Game 2 of the World Series. Outside of Yordan Alvarez, the Astros have struggled to find a capable designated hitter this postseason, which might have something to do with why manager Dusty Baker keeps changing […]

Edmundo Sosa In Lineup Against Lefty For Game 2

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Edmundo Sosa is in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the World Series against lefty Framber Valdez. Sosa and lefty Bryson Stott have formed a platoon this postseason, which continues tonight as Sosa gets in against a left-handed pitcher. The 26-year-old has made the most of his limited opportunities, going 2-for-4 […]

Matt Vierling In Phillies Lineup For Game 2

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Matt Vierling will start in center field and hit eighth in Game 2 of the World Series. Vierling and Brandon Marsh have formed a platoon in center this postseason, and that continues tonight as Vierling starts against lefty Framber Valdez. In 10 postseason at-bats, Vierling has two hits, four strikeouts, and no […]

Nolan Arenado Opting Into The Rest Of His Contract

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado has informed the team that he will opt into the remainder of his five-year, $144 million contract, according to a league source. Arenado was facing his second and final opt-out clause in the deal, and the Cardinals were optimistic throughout the 2022 season that the seven-time All-Star would […]

A's Sign Tyler Wade

The Oakland Athletics signed infielder Tyler Wade to a minor league deal on Friday. Wade played the second half of the 2022 regular season on a non-roster deal with the New York Yankees but elected free agency earlier this month.

Aaron Nola Lit Up In Game 1

Kyle Tucker Goes Deep Twice Friday

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker was a force in Friday's World Series Game 1 against the Philadelphia Phillies, going 3-for-5 with a pair of homers and four RBI, but his team still lost 6-5 in 10 innings. The young star has been solid over eight games in the playoffs, slashing .273/.351/.545 with three bombs and […]

J.T. Realmuto Gives Phillies Game 1 Win

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto was a sensation at the plate in Friday's World Series Game 1. He went 2-for-4 in the 6-5 victory with a double, a walk, three RBI and a solo home run in the 10th inning that was the eventual game-winning run. Realmuto has been one of the best Phillies hitters […]

Justin Verlander Disappoints In Game 1

Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander's World Series woes continued Friday night in Game 1 against the Philadelphia Phillies, when his team lost 6-5 in 10 innings.

Bryson Stott In Phillies Lineup For Game 1

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Bryson Stott is in the lineup for Game 1 of the World Series, batting seventh and playing shortstop.

Brandon Marsh In Phillies Lineup For Game 1

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is in the lineup for Game 1 of the World Series, batting ninth and manning center field. Marsh and Matt Vierling have formed a platoon this postseason, with Marsh handling duties against righties.

Martin Maldonado To Handle Catching Duties In Game 1

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado will catch Justin Verlander in Game 1 of the World Series.
