Teoscar Hernandez Goes Deep Twice Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was mashing on Sunday, getting three hits in four at-bats, two of which were home runs. He ended the game with a pair of runs and three RBI. Hernandez has gone deep four times in his last seven games. The 29-year-old has taken a bit of a step back […]

Yandy Diaz Sits Out For Rest Purposes

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz didn't play in Sunday's contest against the Houston Astros. Manager Kevin Cash has indicated postgame that Diaz sat out for rest purposes. The team wants to make sure that Diaz is fully healthy heading into the postseason. Cash also mentioned that Diaz is only going to play in one […]

Albert Pujols Hits 702nd Career Home Run

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols played in his final regular season game at Busch Stadium on Sunday. The veteran slugger smacked his 702nd home run, which ties him with Babe Ruth for second on the all-time list. Possibly, Pujols adds to his total before the season is over with three games left remaining […]

Mike Trout Hits 39th Home Run

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout blasted his 39th home run of the season against the Texas Rangers on Sunday. The superstar outfielder kicked off what became a six-run inning with an infield hit in the opening frame. He'd come back to blast a homer off Tyson Miller in the fourth inning. The 31-year-old is […]

Bryan Garcia Recalled To Start On Monday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Bryan Garcia has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday. The right-hander will make the start against the Seattle Mariners on Monday. Garcia has a 3.29 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 11/8 K/BB ratio across three starts with the Tigers this season. There should be better streaming options available for Monday's slate. […]

Eric Hosmer Likely To Be Activated On Monday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Eric Hosmer (back) is expected to be activated off the injured list on Monday, according to manager Alex Cora. The left-handed slugger has been out since August 20 due to inflammation in his back. Luckily, it sounds like Hosmer will be ready in time to play during the final series […]

William Contreras Not Starting On Sunday

Atlanta Braves catcher William Contreras (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Mets. Contreras does see a lot of time at designated hitter whenever he's not catching. However, the Braves have decided to give the 24-year-old the day off to rest. Marcell Ozuna will serve as the DH […]

Kevin Gausman Removed From Sunday's Game

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (finger) exited early during Sunday's contest against the Boston Red Sox. He was removed in the third inning due to what appears to be a cut on his middle finger. This doesn't sound like something that is going to limit Gausman going forward. Gausman should be fine for […]

Gregory Soto Earns 30th Save

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Gregory Soto made quick work of the Minnesota Twins hitters during Sunday's game. The lefty reliever needed only 12 pitches to close out the game. He earned his 30th save of the season to go with a 3.17 ERA and 60 strikeouts. It has been a down year for the Tigers, […]

David Peralta Leaves Sunday's Game Early

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder David Peralta was removed from Sunday's contest against the Astros early with an apparent injury.

Jakob Junis Optioned To Triple-A Sacramento

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jakob Junis has been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. The Giants sent him down following his start on Saturday and also placed Logan Webb (back) on the 15-day injured list. Sean Hjelle and Luis Ortiz were both recalled in a pair of corresponding moves. Junis ends the regular season with a […]

Logan Webb Placed On The 15-Day Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (back) has landed on the 15-day injured list with lower back stiffness. The back issue was bothering him following his last start on September 28 so the Giants shut him down and have now placed him on the IL four days later. Webb followed up his breakout 2021 […]

Michael Grove Lands On The 15-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Michael Grove (knee) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left knee contusion. The 25-year-old right-hander put together a 4.60 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 24:10 K/BB ratio over 29 1/3 innings (seven appearances, six starts). He's got a shot to come back if the Dodgers make a […]

Andre Jackson Recalled From Triple-A

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Andre Jackson has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Jackson is taking the place of Michael Grove, who was placed on the injured list. The 26-year-old reliever has a 0.00 ERA over 5 2/3 innings of relief at the big league level this season. He'll give the Dodgers some bullpen depth […]

Jacob Barnes Designated For Assignment

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jacob Barnes has been designated for assignment to make room on the active roster for starter Chi Chi Gonzalez. The 32-year-old right-hander owns a 5.64 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 12:9 K/BB ratio over 22 1/3 innings of relief between the Tigers and the Yankees this season.

Mike Trout Is In The Starting Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (foot) is back in the lineup on Sunday for the series finale against the Texas Rangers. Trout fouled a ball off his foot during Friday's game and sat out Saturday's contest as a result. The 31-year-old outfielder has put together another solid campaign in 2022, slashing .277/.363/.618 with 38 […]

Felix Bautista Has Some Soreness In Left Knee

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Felix Bautista (knee) has some soreness in his left knee after sustaining an injury on Friday. The 27-year-old jammed his knee in the eighth inning of a 2-1 win over the Yankees. It's unclear if he'll be available on Sunday but there's a good chance he won't pitch anymore this season […]

Salvador Perez Not In The Lineup

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (thumb) is absent from the starting lineup on Sunday vs. the Cleveland Guardians. The veteran catcher has some thumb soreness but this is more of a maintenance day for him. MJ Melendez is starting behind the dish and Edward Olivares is filling in at designated hitter vs. Shane Bieber.

Chi Chi Gonzalez Will Start On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Chi Chi Gonzalez had his contract selected and will start Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles. The 30-year-old right-hander pitched relatively well in the minors before being called up but has struggled in limited major league action this year. He owns a 6.87 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and 12:4 K/BB ratio over […]

Matt Carpenter Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

New York Yankees utilityman Matt Carpenter (foot) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list. This was a procedural move for the Yankees as they needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.

Bo Naylor Debuts Saturday

Cleveland Guardians catcher prospect Bo Naylor had his contract selected from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday and made his major league debut against the Kansas City Royals. Naylor came in for Luke Maile in the sixth inning and went hitless in two at-bats, striking out once. The 22-year-old had a very nice season in the minors, […]
