Logan Allen Impaled By Marlins

San Diego Padres starter Logan Allen was battered for seven earned runs in just 2 1/3 innings Tuesday against the Miami Marlins. Allen lacked any semblance of control in the contest, surrendering seven hits and three walks while fanning none.

Jonathan Schoop Not in Wednesday Lineup

After exiting Tuesday's game with an apparent injury, Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop will take a seat for Wednesday's matchup against the New York Mets. Luis Arraez will play second base and bat ninth against Mets starter Jason Vargas. The left-handed Arraez is no DFS bargain in that ninth spot against the left-handed Vargas, […]

Cody Bellinger Smacks 34th Home Run On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger was 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during a 9-8 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night.

Kenley Jansen Blows Save, Bruises Ankle

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen (ankle) was limping heavily after his blown save against the Phillies on Tuesday.

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (shoulder) will undergo an MRI exam after leaving the game on Tuesday with a left shoulder injury.
