Yoan Moncada Expected To Return Wednesday

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria is expecting third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) to return to the lineup on Wednesday. Moncada suffered an upper back injury last Monday and aggravated it returning to the lineup on Sunday. It looks like the 24-year-old will avoid the injured list, but check back on Wednesday before returning him […]

The Minnesota Twins placed infielder Ehire Adrianza (abdomen) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with abdominal issues and called up infielder Luis Arraez from the minors in a corresponding move. Adrianza was hitting .271 with four home runs in 43 games for the Twins in a utility role. He doesn't have much value behind […]

Ryan Zimmerman Running The Bases

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (foot) ran the bases on Tuesday and will do so again on Wednesday.

Zimmerman has been out since April 27 with plantar fasciitis and was hitting just .213/.302/.373 with […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German (hip) played catch on Monday for the first time in his rehab and was scheduled to do so again on Tuesday.

Hunter Strickland To Resume Playing Catch

Seattle Mariners closer Hunter Strickland (lat) will resume playing catch in the next day or two after his MRI exam didn't show any new injuries. Strickland felt soreness in his right lat while throwing over a week ago, but it looks like he avoided something much worse. The right-hander has two saves in three appearances […]

Teoscar Hernandez Day-To-Day

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (wrist) is listed as day-to-day after spraining his left wrist and coming out of the game on Monday. He wasn't in the team's lineup on Tuesday either. Hernandez has some intriguing power, but he just doesn't make enough contact to be relevant in mixed leagues. The 26-year-old is hitting […]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (testicle), who is out indefinitely after rupturing a testicle on June 6, was scheduled to begin "light" activity on Monday, according to manager Scott Servais.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (biceps, elbow) resumed throwing on Monday after being shut down two weeks ago with right biceps tendinitis.

Daniel Poncedeleon To Make Another Start Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon will make another start on Wednesday against the Marlins.

St. Louis Cardinals closer Jordan Hicks was available on Sunday but he remained in the bullpen as insurance for a bullpen that didn't have any other available arms, according to manager Mike Shildt. Carlos Martinez pitched two scoreless innings to pick up his second save of the season, and Hicks completed the 10-day road trip […]

Cameron Maybin Homers In Fourth Straight Game

The New York Yankees continue to regain their injured players and there will be roster casualties as a result. Outfielder Cameron Maybin, however, is trying his hardest to avoid losing his spot. The 32-year-old launched a bomb of a home run in the seventh inning to extend his club's lead. It was Maybin's fourth consecutive […]

Willie Calhoun Back With Rangers

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day disabled list on Monday and was back in the starting lineup and in left field for the first time since May 22. He went 3-for-11 with two walks in four games for Triple-A Nashville on his rehab assignment. Calhoun was 0-for-3 with a strikeout […]

J.A. Happ Records Seventh Victory

New York Yankees starter J.A. Happ recorded his seventh victory of the season Tuesday night as his club extended their divisional lead over the Rays to two and a half games. The 36-year-old went just five innings, but allowed only two runs and struck out three. He threw only 87 pitches and saw his offense […]

Francisco Lindor Comes Up Empty in Six At-Bats on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor had a hard time on Tuesday, going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts. The Cleveland offense scored 10 runs, and every other player who came to bat reached base at least one. It was a rough one for Lindor, but he's not likely to have another game like this any time soon. […]

Ender Inciarte Resumes Baseball Activities

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (back) has resumed baseball activities but is still "a ways away" and there is no timetable for when he'll go on a rehab assignment. The 28-year-old Inciarte has been out since May 14 and was hitting a disappointing .218/.300/.323 with only two homers, nine RBI, 13 runs and three stolen […]

Jake Bauers Gets Three Hits on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers had a strong game on Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with a home run and a double. He scored two runs and recorded an RBI. Bauers has had some enormous games this season, but has been mostly inconsistent overall. He's hitting .236/.314/.403, and looks like a better DFS option that a […]

Edwin Encarnacion Hits First Yankees Home Run

The New York Yankees secured a series victory and extended their AL East lead once again Tuesday night in the Bronx. Defeating the Tampa Bay Rays, 6-3, newcomer Edwin Encarnacion drilled his first home run with his new club. It was only his second game with his new club. The 36-year-old now has 22 home […]

Jose Ramirez Hits a Home Run on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez hit his fifth home run of the season on Tuesday, going 1-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored.

Jason Kipnis Drives in Three on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians second baseman (playing as the designated hitter) Jason Kipnis had another solid game on Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with two singles, a walk, a run scored, and three RBI. He's hitting just .219/.274/.318, but he looks like he's starting a hot streak and could be a solid source of several categories if he can […]

Odubel Herrera's Leave Extended To July 1

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera's administrative leave has been extended to July 1 while he's investigated for domestic violence back on May 27. Even if he's not eventually convicted of domestic violence, Major League Baseball will likely wind up suspending the 27-year-old outfielder. At this point, you should probably have already dropped Herrera in redraft […]
