Tyler Glasnow Will Start Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (forearm) will be activated from the injured list and make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. Glasnow pitched well during his rehab appearances, so he's set to join the active roster. However, Glasnow is only expected to pitch a few innings, but this is a […]

Joe Ross Scratched From Start

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (forearm) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves.

Austin Voth will draw the […]

Mike Yastrzemski Sits Out on Friday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yastrzemski will get a routine day off here to rest against the left-handed starter. Joey Rickard will bat sixth and play left field versus lefty Clayton Kershaw. Rickard is not worth a look against […]

Craig Kimbrel Expects to Return Thursday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel (elbow) expects to return from the injured list when first eligible on Thursday. The Cubs have shut down Kimbrel for a few days due to his elbow inflammation. Steve Cishek and Pedro Strop are the two favorites to see save chances.

Mike Moustakas Remains Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (hand) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Manager Craig Counsell said that Moustakas isn't making much progress from his hand injury. Hernan Perez will play third base and bat sixth versus lefty Cole Hamels. Perez doesn't have much upside with the bat, […]

Jhoulys Chacin Debuts for Red Sox Friday

Jorge Polanco is Back on Friday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (finger) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Polanco did not play on Thursday due to a minor finger issue.

Joe Musgrove Scratched on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (foot) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Musgrove is dealing with right foot discomfort, but hopefully it's a minor issue. Alex McRae will draw the start on Friday, but he's not worth streaming against the Cardinals.

Starling Marte Back on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Marte has missed the last two games due to minor discomfort. However, he's back in the lineup batting third and playing center field versus righty Miles Mikolas on Friday. Marte has been red-hot with the […]

Javier Baez Will Undergo MRI

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) will undergo an MRI on his thumb. Baez has been absent since Sunday and was scratched from Thursday’s lineup.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna was 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base, and two runs scored during Thursday's 4-2 win over the Washington Nationals.

Phegley is a mid-tier catcher that offers modest power. […]

Brett Anderson Struggles Against The Angels On Thursday

Oakland Athletics starter Brett Anderson allowed five runs on nine hits across five innings of work during Thursday's 10-6 win over the Los Angeles Angels. He struck out four batters without issuing a walk. Home runs victimized the 31-year-old, as Mike Trout and Kevan Smith went deep off of him. Anderson owns an 11-9 record […]

Robbie Ray Looks for Another Win Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray will look to keep the D-backs win streak going on Friday when he travels to take on the Cincinnati Reds. Ray has won his last two starts and shouldn't have too much trouble against a strikeout-prone Reds lineup. However, it will be up to Ray to be efficient with his […]

Steven Matz Hopes to Continue Surge

New York Mets left-hander Steven Matz will look to stay hot on Friday when he takes the mound against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field.

Glenn Sparkman Only Goes Four Innings

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman struggled mightily once again, lasting just four innings in the loss to the Tigers on Thursday. Sparkman allowed four earned runs on seven hits, three of which were home runs. He only struck out two, but he didn't walk anyone. This makes three straight outings where Sparkman has […]
