Out of an abundance of caution, the game on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City between the Royals and Colorado Rockies has been postponed due to inclement weather and will be played as the second game of a traditional doubleheader on Thursday, starting at 1:10 pm CT. Veteran right-hander Michael Lorenzen was scheduled […]

He's worth an add in […]

Joc Pederson Taking A Seat Versus Southpaw

Texas Rangers outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
