Spencer Torkelson Sitting Out On Saturday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson is sitting out on Saturday vs. the New York Yankees.

Torkelson is still hitting below the Mendoza Line with […]

Kyle Garlick Not Playing Against Blue Jays

Minnesota Twins outfielder Kyle Garlick (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Taylor Walls Out Again Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls (calf) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. Walls fouled a ball off his calf earlier in the week, but he was reportedly available off the bench on Friday, so the injury doesn't appear to be very serious. The 25-year-old has been primarily […]

Gio Urshela Out Of The Lineup Saturday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Gio Urshela (foot) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Urshela exited Friday's game against the Blue Jays early with a sprain in the mid-arch of his left foot, and he's being considered day-to-day for now. It's bad timing, too, as he was hitting .359 […]

Danny Jansen Takes A Seat Against Twins

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen is not in the starting lineup against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. It will be the second time in the last three games that Jansen isn't starting. Alejandro Kirk will do the catching and is hitting fifth against Twins right-hander Dylan Bundy. Jansen has cooled off of late and […]

Baltimore Orioles rookie catcher Adley Rutschman is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians.

Wade Miley To Throw Another Bullpen Sunday

Chicago Cubs left-hander Wade Miley (shoulder) will throw another bullpen session on Sunday.

St. Louis Cardinals rookie right-hander Andre Pallante will make his first major league start against the division-rival Chicago Cubs in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader.

Jose Miranda Homers Twice On Friday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda had the best game of his young career in Friday's 9-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. He went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in the game. The 23-year-old rookie was initially called up at the start of May and looked overmatched for the […]
