Clay Holmes Squeaks Out Seventh Save

New York Yankees reliever Clay Holmes picked up his seventh save of the season on Thursday night, closing out his club's 2-1 win over the Angels.

Ryan Thompson Secures Third Save On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Thompson tossed a scoreless inning to earn the save during Thursday's 3-1 win over the Texas Rangers. He entered the ninth inning to protect a 3-1 lead.

After missing all of 2020 and most of 2021, the two-time All-Star has reemerged as a reliable, high-end fantasy starter. Buoyed by a strong Yankees lineup and bullpen, […]

Sam Hilliard Evaluated For A Concussion

Colorado Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard was in concussion protocol after making a diving catch in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Miami Marlins. He missed Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader and was held out of Thursday's contest against the Atlanta Braves. The 28-year-old is day-to-day, and there's a possibility that he could land […]

Blake Snell Rounding Into Form

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell is rounding into form after missing all of April and part of May since returning from a groin injury. The 29-year-old allowed two earned runs across six innings while allowing two hits, three walks, and striking out six on Tuesday in St. Louis against the Cardinals. On the […]

Omar Narvaez Placed On COVID-19 Injured List

The Milwaukee Brewers placed catcher Omar Narvaez on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday. Alex Hall was selected from Class-A Wisconsin in a corresponding move.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (finger) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers after closing a door on his right hand and injuring a finger, according to skipper Buck Showalter.

Jacob deGrom Progressing As Planned

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) won't travel with the team on their 10-game road trip to Southern California, but manager Buck Showalter said deGrom is progressing as planned. deGrom remains in New York and has yet to get back on a mound. The 33-year-old right-hander extended his throwing distance to 135 feet […]

Clayton Kershaw, Andrew Heaney Starting Rehab Assignments

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) will make his first minor league rehab start for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, and he could rejoin the Dodgers after that if all goes well.

Robinson Cano Optioned, Elects Free Agency

The San Diego Padres optioned infielder Robinson Cano to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, but he has elected free agency. In a corresponding move, the team selected the contract of outfielder Nomar Mazara from the minors. After getting cut by the New York Mets earlier this year, Cano went just 3-for-33 with one RBI and […]

Drew Smyly Could Miss A Month

Chicago Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly (oblique) estimated that he could be out for at least a month after he landed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a right oblique strain. It's not a surprise, as oblique injuries often take plenty of time for pitchers to return from. The 32-year-old southpaw will rest for […]

Dylan Carlson Expected To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson (hamstring) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday night with Double-A Springfield. Carlson has been on the injured list since suffering a hamstring tear in late May, but he's inching closer towards a return to the Cardinals. Hopefully the time off allowed him reset mentally, […]
