Mike Minor Labors For 200th Strikeout

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Minor allowed five runs in 8 2/3 innings with nine strikeouts in a win over the Red Sox Thursday. The nine strikeouts are what mattered to Minor as he labored through 126 pitches, and a suspect pop fly that was allowed to drop foul, in order to reach the 200 […]

Dylan Cease Sidelined With Left Hamstring Strain

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease (hamstring) was scratched from Thursday’s start versus the Indians with a left hamstring strain. The rookie had been performing well over his last three starts and this likely ends his season. Over 73 innings, Cease had a 5.79 ERA with 9.99 K/9. Cease will be a name to […]

Felix Hernandez Making Possibly His Last Start in Seattle

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez is making what could be his final start of his Mariners' career against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday. Hernandez has been pitching in Seattle since 2005, but is in the final year of his contract. He's posting a horrendous 6.51 ERA in 14 starts with Seattle this season. Hernandez […]

Starling Marte, Josh Bell Both Done for 2019

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (wrist) and first baseman Josh Bell (groin) have both been shut down for the 2019 season. Both players have been injured for multiple weeks, so it's not too surprising that the Pirates shut them down. Pablo Reyes will cover center field and bat fifth on Thursday. Jose Osuna plays first […]

Kyle Schwarber, Jason Heyward Are Sitting Out

Chicago Cubs outfielders Kyle Schwarber (rest) and Jason Heyward (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both sluggers will get a day off along with most of the regular starters. The Cubs are eliminated from the playoffs, so manager Joe Maddon decided to give most of the regulars […]

Willson Contreras Gets A Breather

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs were eliminated from postseason contention on Wednesday. Most of the regulars are out of the lineup here, so it's not surprising to see Contreras getting the day off. Jonathan Lucroy will draw the start […]

Jeff Hoffman Expects to Start on Sunday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (knee) is planning on making his final start of the season versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Hoffman was struck in the knee by a comebacker on Tuesday. He was carted off the field, but the X-rays came back negative. Hoffman has been getting crushed this season, so he's […]

Justin Turner Continues to Be Rested

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (ankle, back) did not start in Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres. Jedd Gyorko was given the start at third base and that might be the case for the rest of the weekend. Turner continues to deal with a nagging back injury and a left ankle issue. […]

Anthony Rizzo Sits Out on Thursday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs were officially eliminated from postseason contention on Wednesday. Most of the regular starters are out of the lineup for this one. Victor Caratini will draw the start at first base and bat cleanup […]

Jeff McNeil Lands on the 60-Day Injured List

New York Mets outfielder Jeff McNeil (wrist) has been placed on the 60-day injured list on Thursday. McNeil suffered a fractured right wrist during Wednesday's game and is done for the rest of the season.

Aaron Nola Won't Make His Final Start

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (rest) won't make his final start of the season on Sunday versus the Miami Marlins. The Phillies are out of contention, so they see no reason to bother starting Nola one more time. He finished with a 3.87 ERA with 229 strikeouts in 34 starts with the team. The […]

Amed Rosario Gets A Breather on Thursday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins. The Mets have been officially eliminated from playoff contention, so they will give Rosario a day off to rest. Luis Guillorme will bat seventh and play shortstop versus righty Jordan Yamamoto. Guillorme doesn't offer much […]

Kyle Hendricks, Yu Darvish Are Done for the Season

Chicago Cubs starting pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Yu Darvish have been shut down for the rest of the 2019 season. The team is out of playoff contention, so there is no need for either to take the mound again in the last week of the regular season. Alec Mills will draw the start on Friday. […]

Cole Hamels Will Start on Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cole Hamels (shoulder) will make one more start for the team on Saturday versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Hamels did not make his last start due to shoulder fatigue. Hamels is 7-7 with a 3.92 ERA in 26 starts for the Cubs this season. He's set to become a free agent […]

Jonathan Schoop Hits Historic 23rd Homer in Win

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop went 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBI in a 10-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon.

Aristides Aquino Homers, Steals a Base in Loss

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino had a big afternoon in a 5-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday.

New York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso added to his MLB-leading home run total on Wednesday, hitting a three-run home run to help lead the Mets to victory. He now has 51 home runs on the year to go along with 118 RBI and 99 runs. Simply put, he's one of the most lethal power […]

Jacob Waguespack Closes Season On High Note
