Champ or Chump: Nico Hoerner and Ketel Marte

Is it just me, or are an unusual number of superstars missing time due to injury down the stretch? If you're looking for a Christian Yelich replacement, Trent Grisham was previously covered in the column as an intriguing add with playing time concerns. Those playing time concerns have now evaporated, so Grisham is an astute […]

Hunter Dozier Will Rest on Wednesday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Eric Sogard is Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Eric Sogard (leg) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Sogard hasn't been in the lineup since he took a foul ball to the leg on Friday. It sounds like a minor issue, so hopefully he can get back in the lineup within the […]

Stephen Strasburg In a Tough Spot Wednesday
