Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suarez is getting the day off on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. Suarez along with J.P. Crawford, Ty France, Mitch Haniger, and Cal Raleigh are all getting the day off on Saturday after the Mariners clinched their first postseason bid in 21 years on Friday. Abraham Toro, Dylan Moore, Brian […]

Daulton Varsho Absent From The Lineup On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the San Francisco Giants. The 26-year-old looks to just be getting a day off but should be available as a pinch-hitter in this one. Varsho has put together an excellent season, slashing .238/.306/.452 with 27 home runs, 73 RBI, and 14 […]

Jarren Duran Optioned To Triple-A Again

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran has been optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday. Boston called him on Friday but his stay with the big league club was brief. The Red Sox added Kaleb Ort and Josh Winckowski to their active roster in a pair of corresponding moves. Duran struggled whenever he was up with […]

J.D. Martinez Absent From The Lineup On Saturday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is just a day off for the 35-year-old veteran, who's been swinging a hot bat over the last five or so games. It's still been an underwhelming season for the slugger, who has a .271/.339/.438 […]

Aaron Ashby Starting Vs. The Marlins On Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers left-handed pitcher Aaron Ashby is starting on Saturday against the Miami Marlins. Ashby's last start came on September 20 against the Mets and he's only had one appearance, as a reliever, since then. The 24-year-old owns a 2-10 record, 4.50 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and 118:47 K/BB ratio across 100 innings (25 appearances, 18 […]

Edward Cabrera Set To Start On Saturday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (ankle) is in line to start on Saturday vs. the Milwaukee Brewers. The lanky hurler left his last start early after twisting his ankle while fielding a bunt in the fourth inning against the Nationals. He will most likely be on a pitch count as this will be his […]

Reid Detmers Wins His Seventh Game Friday

Los Angeles Angels starter Reid Detmers was impressive in his outing on Friday against the Texas Rangers, going six strong with one run, four hits, nine strikeouts, and one walk.

Josh Rojas Swipes His 21st Bag Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Josh Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, and an RBI in Friday's 10-4 loss to the San Francisco Giants. The speedster also stole a base, his 21st of the season, which is tied for 14th in all of baseball. Rojas is hitting .264 on the season but has just eight […]

Ian Happ Collects Two Hits Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ reached base three times in Friday's 6-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, singling twice and walking once while crossing home plate two times.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez had a rough outing on Friday, allowing six earned runs in just 5 1/3 innings pitched during the 7-3 loss against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Fried was caught on […]

Charlie Blackmon Plans To Pick Up 2023 Player Option

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon told reporters on Friday that he intends to exercise his $18 million player option for the 2023 season. Blackmon went on to state that he is not thinking beyond the 2023 campaign at the moment. The veteran outfielder went on the injured list earlier in the week with a knee […]

Spencer Strider Not Throwing Yet

Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider (oblique) has yet to resume throwing. Strider went on the injured list last week with a left oblique strain. The recovery has been slow going for the hard-throwing rookie, who felt something in the injured oblique last Friday when he attempted to throw. Atlanta may be heading into the postseason […]

Ketel Marte Placed On Injured List Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday, with the team recalling Buddy Kennedy to take his place on the roster. The team did not provide a reason as to the nature of Marte's injury, but his 2022 campaign is now over. Marte finishes the year hitting .240 with […]

Zack Britton Leaves Friday’s Game With Injury

New York Yankees reliever Zack Britton left Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles with an apparent injury. Britton threw a wild pitch with the bases loaded and then left the mound with an athletic trainer. He walked one batter and threw nine pitches without recording an out in the outing. Look for the Yankees to […]

Corey Seager Back In Rangers Lineup Friday

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) is back in the starting lineup Friday against Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels. Seager missed the previous two games due to a bruised left forearm he got after being hit by a pitch in Tuesday's game. The 28-year-old is having a nice season power-wise, smacking a career-high […]

Charlie Morton Agrees To Contract Extension With Braves

The Atlanta Braves and starting pitcher Charlie Morton have agreed to a one-year, $20 million contract extension for the 2023 season, with a $20 million club option for 2024. The 38-year-old righty will be back in the Braves rotation for at least another year, and maybe two, with the new deal. Morton hasn't quite lived […]

Game 2 Of Phillies-Nationals Doubleheader Postponed Friday

The second game of Friday's doubleheader between the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals has been postponed due to inclement weather. It will be made up Saturday as the second game of a split doubleheader and will start at 7:05 ET. Scheduled starting pitchers Noah Syndergaard and Tommy Romero will likely slide back and start one […]

Jesus Sanchez Returns To Marlins Lineup

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez will be in the starting lineup on Friday against Corbin Burnes and the Milwaukee Brewers. He will hit fifth as the designated hitter for the fish. It will mark the first time Sanchez has been in a major league lineup since August 2. Sanchez has immense potential and can crush […]

Jose Urquidy Probably Won't Start Again This Season

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy is unlikely to make another start this regular season. Instead, the Astros plan to use the righty out of the bullpen, in what is likely a tune up for the playoffs. The Astros have so many high-quality starting options that even though Urquidy has had a solid season, posting […]

Simeon Woods Richardson Likely To Pitch For Twins This Season

Minnesota Twins top prospect Simeon Woods Richardson is expected to pitch for the club at some point in the final week of the season, according to manager Rocco Baldelli. The Twins have starters set for every day left in the season except for Sunday, so that will likely be the day Richardson makes his major […]

Josh Bell In Lineup Friday

San Diego Padres first baseman Josh Bell is back in the lineup Friday as the team's designated hitter against Davis Martin and the Chicago White Sox. Bell sat the Padres previous two games, and he has now sat four of the team's last seven games, as he appears to be in a platoon role with […]

Nelson Cruz Still Out In Game 2 Friday

Washington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (eye) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 2 of the doubleheader on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Noah Syndergaard. At this point, it seems likely that the 42-year-old veteran won't play again before the end of the regular season next week. He's missed the last […]

J.T. Realmuto Taking A Seat In Game 2 Of Doubleheader

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto made history in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Friday against the Washington Nationals, but he'll start on the bench in Game 2. Realmuto went 2-for-5 with a double, three stolen bases, an RBI and two strikeouts in Game 1 to become only the second catcher in major-league history to […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Eyeing A Return On Monday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (illness) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday at Minute Maid Park, and the tentative plan would be for him to return to the starting rotation on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. McCullers was unable to make his last start on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks […]
