Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo went 2-for-3 with a walk and run scored on Tuesday versus the Reds.

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez took a loss on Tuesday, tossing the ninth inning of a tie game and allowing two runs on two hits and a walk. The loss dropped his record to 2-1 and raised his ERA to 2.91, but the fact that he was used in the ninth inning of a […]

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty pitched seven great innings on Tuesday, allowing just one run on three hits and three walks.

CC Sabathia Gets Animated In No-Decision

New York Yankees veteran CC Sabathia, currently in the midst of his final season, continues his hatred of the Tampa Bay Rays. The 38-year-old posted a quality start, but provoked a clearing of the benches as he engaged in an argument with Avisail Garcia. Aside from that, he allowed three runs on five hits and […]

Eloy Jimenez Expected To Go On The Injured List

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (elbow) is flying back to Chicago and is expected to wind up on the injured list with right elbow soreness.

Aaron Judge Ignites Yankees Comeback Win

The New York Yankees bounced back from a tough defeat Tuesday night as they defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 8-3. The home club took the lead in the eighth after trailing 3-2 from the seventh.

Dylan Cease Struggles In Second Start

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease struggled in his second career start versus the Kansas City Royals. Over six frames, Cease allowed eight hits, six runs (four earned), one walk and struck out seven. Owners should remain patient with Cease due to his strong upside and strikeout ability. Cease will look to improve in […]

Adalberto Mondesi Injured Tuesday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (arm) left the game early on Tuesday after landing hard while diving for a ball in foul territory. He was helped off the field by head trainer Nick Kenney, who was holding Mondesi's left arm. That doesn't sound good at all, but stay tuned for more updates on the […]

Hunter Strickland, Felix Hernandez Making Strides

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Hunter Strickland (lat) will throw live batting practice at Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Strickland has been out since late March […]

Johnny Cueto On Track To Start Rehab Assignment In August

San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) is on track to start a rehab assignment in early August.

Jesus Luzardo Playing Catch From 90 Feet

Oakland Athletics starting pitching prospect Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) has been playing catch from around 90 feet of late and is working to get back on a mound. Luzardo suffered a Grade 2 lat strain in the minors on July 2 and might not return now until the final month of the season. It's definitely a […]

Rich Hill Set To Throw Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (elbow) will play catch for the first time on Thursday since going on the injured list with a flexor tendon injury in his left arm four weeks ago. However, the veteran left-hander isn't expected to return to the team until September. The 39-year-old is typically solid for fantasy […]

Jay Bruce Appears Headed For Injured List

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (oblique) left the game with a strained right oblique after a swing on Tuesday night. Bruce was hitless with two strikeouts in his two plate appearances before leaving. Oblique strains usually require injured list stints and can keep players out for over a month, especially an […]

Eloy Jimenez Has Right Elbow Soreness

Updating a previous report, Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (elbow) left the game early on Tuesday with right elbow soreness after colliding with teammate Charlie Tilson in the outfield. It's somewhat good news, although Jimenez could still land on the injured list after the team re-evaluates him. The 22-year-old phenom hasn't really found his […]

Brendan Rodgers Has Season-Ending Surgery

Colorado Rockies shortstop prospect Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) underwent season-ending surgery on the labrum of his right shoulder on Tuesday. This is a pretty big development, as Rodgers is the team's top prospect and No. 6 overall, per MLB Pipeline. There's a chance the 22-year-old might not be ready for the start of next season, too, […]

Jordan Yamamoto Solid Again Tuesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jordan Yamamoto gave up three runs, two earned, in five innings Tuesday vs the Padres. Yamamoto walked two and struck out four while lowering his ERA to a pristine 1.59. The Marlins seem to have more young pitchers than rotation spots but as long as Yamamoto keeps this up he should […]

Evan Longoria Could Miss Up To A Month

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (foot) is guessing he'll be out for two weeks to a month, but it isn't set in stone because the team foot specialist hasn't looked at his MRI exam. Longo thinks he strained his foot while overcompensating while dealing with plantar fasciitis. Either way, the veteran infielder will […]

Stephen Piscotty Hopeful To Return Soon

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (knee) has been hitting the last four days and started running in a straight line on Sunday. He's feeling good in his recovery from a sprained MCL and is hopeful he can come back on the short side of his four- to six-week timetable. Piscotty has been out since late […]

Jameson Taillon Throws From 90 Feet

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (elbow) threw from 90 feet Tuesday. Taillon hasn't pitched since May 1 because of a flexor strain and still has many obstacles to clear before we see the tall righty on a Major League mound. Taillon pitched to a 3.20 ERA last season supported by a 3.46 FIP. He […]

Andrew Cashner Struggles In Boston Debut

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Andrew Cashner gave up six runs (five earned) on eight hits against the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

Corey Kluber To Throw Bullpen Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber (arm) will throw a 20-pitch bullpen session of all fastballs on Wednesday, according to manager Terry Francona. Kluber fractured his right arm and has been out since May 1, but he's on the mend and will be an option for Cleveland's rotation in the second half. The veteran right-hander […]

Twins Activate Eddie Rosario, C.J. Cron

The Minnesota Twins activated outfielder Eddie Rosario (ankle) and first baseman C.J. Cron (thumb) from the injured list on Tuesday, and both players returned to the starting lineup. Rosario sprained his left ankle on June 26 and will return to a healthy slash line of .282/.312/.529 with 20 home runs, 51 runs, 60 RBI and […]

Ken Giles Could Be Available Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles (elbow) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday, and his fastball had lots of life and his slider was moving well, according to pitching coach Pete Walker. There's a chance that Giles could be available against Boston on Tuesday despite not pitching since July 4 with nerve irritation in […]

Josh Harrison Suffers Setback

Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said that second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) suffered a setback and felt tightness in his hamstring again, possibly the breaking up of scar tissue. There remains no set timetable for Harrison to restart his rehab assignment. Harrison needed surgery on his hamstring, so don't expect him to return anytime soon. […]

Byron Buxton Placed On Concussion IL

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list Tuesday. Buxton banged his head making a diving catch on Saturday and was kept out of the lineup Sunday. He's been experiencing concussion-like symptoms and the safe thing to do is put him on the IL to recover. Head injuries can be […]

Mark Trumbo Resumes Baseball Activities

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) has resumed baseball activities and took batting practice on the field last weekend. However, there are no immediate plans for him to go on a rehab assignment, but the Orioles are hopeful he'll return this year. Trumbo was one of the elite power hitters in baseball just a few […]

Austin Hedges Back In The Fold

The San Diego Padres activated catcher Austin Hedges from the bereavement list on Tuesday and optioned catcher Austin Allen to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Hedges returns to a weak .185/.245/.310 slash line with six home runs, 15 runs and 23 RBI, so he might split even more time with Francisco Mejia, who […]
