Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ben Gamel continued his strong early-season performance Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in a 10-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

Joc Pederson Continues Homer Binge

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Wednesday's 9-3 victory over the New York Mets.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (hand) said he didn't feel entirely right gripping and swinging the bat pregame and will undergo a CT scan on Thursday.

The Cleveland Guardians placed pitcher Aaron Civale (glute) on the 15-day injured list with a sore left glute. He exited his previous start early against the Detroit Tigers with a left glute cramp.

Evan Longoria Drives In Four On Wednesday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria played a huge role in Wednesday's 9-3 victory over the New York Mets, plating four runs on two hits, including a three-run home run.

Ryan McMahon Doubles In Wednesday's Loss

Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon had a couple of hits on Wednesday, including a double, in three at-bats. He also scored two runs and walked, but it wasn't enough to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, losing the contest 10-5.

Taylor Ward To Miss Fifth Straight Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (shoulder) is being held out of the starting lineup for the fifth straight game on Wednesday. The MRI came back clean on Tuesday, but it appears the Angels are going to remain cautious. Possibly, Ward will be used off the bench during Wednesday's contest against the Texas Rangers. The […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Scratched On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (quad) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies. The superstar outfielder is reportedly dealing with tightness in his quad. This is believed to be a minor injury, so the 24-year-old isn't expected to miss much time. Orlando Arcia will be his replacement during Wednesday's contest. […]

Anthony Bender Lands On Injured List

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bender (back) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive May 23. He will be sidelined due to back stiffness, which is something that has bothered Bender for quite some time now. The Marlins are expected to use closer by committee while Bender is out. Anthony Bass, Cole Sulser, […]

Jeff McNeil Avoids Serious Injury

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (knee) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He crashed into the wall while trying to catch a foul ball during the fourth inning. He was able to get up on his own, so that's always a good sign. The organization is calling […]

Nico Hoerner Activated From Injured List Wednesday

The Chicago Cubs activated infielder Nico Hoerner (ankle) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The team placed catcher Yan Gomes (oblique) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Hoerner had been sidelined for about two weeks due to a right ankle sprain. He is not in […]

Chris Bassitt Dealing With Sinus Issue

New York Mets starting pitcher Chris Bassitt (illness) is dealing with a cold/sinus issue, according to Mets manager Buck Showalter. The skipper seems confident that Bassitt will be good to make his next start on Sunday, but if he's unable to go, then David Peterson would be on the mound instead. After a strong start […]
