Franmil Reyes Continues to Struggle With His New Team

Cleveland Indians outfielder/designated hitter Franmil Reyes continued to struggle with his new team, going 0-for-3 on Thursday with a walk. Reyes was acquired at the trade deadline, but has hit just .074/.100/.111 as a member of the Indians. He'll obviously improve soon, but fantasy owners who were excited about his team change haven't gotten what […]

Jose Ramirez Drives in Three Runs on Thursday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez drove in three runs on Thursday, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a run scored. Ramirez hit his 29th double of the year and helped lead his team to a 7-5 win over the Minnesota Twins. Despite an awful start to the season, Ramirez has started to […]

Mike Yastrzemski Drives In Three Thursday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski had another nice day at the plate in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Phillies, going 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run, three RBI, and a strikeout. Yastrzemski took Nick Pivetta deep to right field in the seventh inning for his 11th HR of the season. The 28-year-old […]

Brad Hand Earns a Four-Out Save on Thursday

Mike Clevinger Throws Seven More Strong Innings on Thursday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger threw well on Thursday, tossing seven innings while allowing two runs on three hits and a walk. He struck out nine and needed 117 pitches to make it through. Clevinger's record improved to 7-2 and he lowered his ERA to 3.02. He's one of the better pitchers in the […]

Madison Bumgarner Pitches Gem Thursday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner was on his game in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Phillies.

Mike Tauchman Stays Hot In Another Victory

Alongside Giovanny Urshela, New York Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman has been at the center of this season-high nine-game winning streak. The 28-year-old once again starred as the Yankees took down the Toronto Blue Jays, 12-6 in Canada Thursday night. He connected on his 11th home run of the season and later drove in two more […]

Giovanny Urshela Homers Twice Again

New York Yankees infielder Giovanny Urshela cannot be stopped at the moment, leading the offensive barrage in a 12-6 victory Thursday night at the Rogers Centre. The 27-year-old hit two home runs for the second night in a row, becoming only the second third baseman in MLB history to homer twice and drive in four […]

Domingo German Stumbles In 15th Victory

While he improved his record on the season to a remarkable 15-2, New York Yankees starter Domingo German didn't have a good game Thursday night in Toronto. The 27-year-old tossed four shutout innings to begin, but ran into major trouble in the fifth, surrendering three extra-base hits and four runs, one unearned. It would be […]

Nelson Cruz Leaves Early With Wrist Issue

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz left Thursday's game against the Cleveland Indians after appearing to injure his left wrist after a swing. He was removed from the game and replaced at designated hitter by C.J. Cron. Cruz already spent time on the injured list with a strain in his left wrist earlier in the […]

Shaun Anderson Lands on Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Shaun Anderson (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Anderson was removed after three innings on Wednesday due to a blister on his middle finger. He shouldn't be sidelined too much longer than the 10 days. Sam Selman has been recalled from the minors to take […]

Andrew Heaney Will Return Saturday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) will return to the active roster for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Heaney missed roughly three weeks of action due to shoulder inflammation. He has a rough 5.09 ERA, but can create strikeouts. He's probably not a reliable option against the Red Sox on Saturday, […]

Austin Brice Activated from Injured List

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Austin Brice (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Brice missed three weeks due to a mild flexor strain in his right forearm. He's posting a 1.88 ERA in 38 1/3 innings with Miami this season. Brice could be mixed in for save chances down the stretch. […]

David Price Officially Placed on Injured List

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive August 5. Price has a triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) cyst in his left wrist. He's been absolutely destroyed during his last four starts, so this injury explains why that happened. It's unknown how much time he's going to […]

Cam Gallagher Placed on Injured List

Kansas City Royals catcher Cameron Gallagher (side) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Gallagher was scratched from Wednesday's game due to a left side injury. The team has decided to place him on the shelf, but it's unclear how much time he's going to miss. Nicholas Dini has been recalled to […]

Brad Brach Signs Deal with Mets

New York Mets relief pitcher Brad Brach should give the organization some much-needed depth in the bullpen. Brach was released by the Chicago Cubs earlier this week after posting a 6.13 ERA through 42 appearances. The former All-Star had a rough time in Chicago, but hopefully a change of scenery will help. He's likely going […]

Pablo Lopez to Throw Bullpen Session Friday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday. Lopez struggled heavily during his rehab outing, so hopefully this goes better for him. He's been sidelined since mid-June due to a shoulder issue. It's unclear at the moment when Lopez will be able to take the mound again […]

Jose Castillo Activated, Adrian Morejon To IL

The San Diego Padres activated reliever Jose Castillo (forearm) from the 60-day injured list and placed reliever Adrian Morejon (shoulder) on the 15-day IL. Castillo’s next pitch will be his first in 2019 as he’s battled forearm issues since spring training. The 23-year-old was a stud from the bullpen last season with a 3.29 ERA, […]

Gary Sanchez Expected to Return Saturday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) is expected to rejoin the active roster on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Sanchez started a rehab assignment on Wednesday, so he should be ready to go by the weekend. Austin Romine and Kyle Higashioka have been sharing the catching duties in New York. Neither have been […]

Austin Riley Suffers Torn LCL

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley (knee) has been diagnosed with a partially torn LCL in his right knee. He's been placed on the 10-day injured list, so he could be sidelined for quite some time. Riley started off the season hitting well with the Braves, but hit a second half slump. There is a chance […]

Jay Bruce Activated on Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Bruce missed three weeks due to a strained oblique. He's back in the lineup, batting fifth and playing left field versus lefty Madison Bumgarner. Outfielder Adam Haseley has been optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Bruce is not […]
