Scott Kingery Staying Hot

Philadephia Phillies utilityman Scott Kingery has been swinging a hot bat with everyday playing time. He's hit .286 with four homers over the last two weeks in 49 at-bats.

Gleyber Torres Out In First Game Tuesday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is not in the starting lineup for the first game of a doubleheader on Tuesday.
