Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran had a monster game Monday as his team fell to the Toronto Blue Jays 7-3.

Kansas City Royals Catcher Salvador Perez had a monster performance in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader 9-4 win against the Cleveland Guardians. He went 2-for-4 with two homers, six RBI, and a walk.

Christian Scott Could Throw Off A Mound Soon

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Christian Scott (elbow) has been playing catch for more than a week and could move to throwing off a mound soon. It's important for Scott and the Mets that he return to the big leagues this season to get a sense of how his elbow feels heading into the […]

Tylor Megill The Favorite To Join Mets Rotation

New York Mets right-hander Tylor Megill is the strong front-runner to join the team's starting rotation in Paul Blackburn's (hand, wrist) spot, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Megill's first turn in the rotation will come on Thursday on the road against the hosting Arizona Diamondback, which won't be ideal for deep-league streaming purposes. The 29-year-old […]

Brett Baty Likely Done For The Season

New York Met third baseman Brett Baty (finger) is likely done for the rest of the 2024 season after breaking his left index finger while playing in the minors. Baty had a chance to be part of the team's September roster at the big-league level by the end of his week, but instead he's out […]

He tried to pitch through a back strain for two weeks […]

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil (back) threw a bullpen session on Sunday. The Yankees are now deciding whether Gil will throw a live batting practice session or appear in a minor-league rehab game. Manager Aaron Boone said it's possible it could be a minimum stay on the 15-day injured list for Gil. The 26-year-old […]

Byron Buxton "Getting Closer" To Rehab Assignment

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) is "getting closer" to a minor-league rehab assignment but is "not there yet." Baldelli doesn't expect it to be a long rehab assignment, but the expectation is that Buxton will be sent to the minors for at least a few games. It means that […]

Devin Williams Dealing With Shoulder Injury

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that closer Devin Williams (shoulder) is dealing with a left-shoulder injury. "He got up this morning and his left shoulder, he didn't feel right," Murphy said. The Brewers had the day off on Monday, so it's unclear if the injury to Williams' non-throwing shoulder will require him to be […]

Orioles Place Ryan Mountcastle On 10-Day Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (wrist) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 23) on Monday with a sprained left wrist. The earliest Mountcastle can return to the O's is on Sept. 2. In a corresponding move, Baltimore recalled infielder Livan Soto from Triple-A Norfolk. Mountcastle injured his left wrist sliding […]

Javier Baez To Have Season-Ending Hip Surgery

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (hip), who was moved to the 60-day injured list on Monday, will have season-ending arthroscopic right-hip surgery next week. Another hugely disappointing season comes to an end early for Baez. The 31-year-old Puerto Rican infielder has somehow gotten worse in each year in Detroit and will finish the 2024 campaign […]

Riley Greene Getting A Breather

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene will head to the bench for Monday's contest against the division-rival Chicago White Sox and right-hander Davis Martin at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Randy Vasquez Recalled And Starting On Monday

The San Diego Padres recalled right-hander Randy Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso on Monday and optioned right-hander Lake Bachar to El Paso after Sunday's game against the New York Mets in a corresponding move.

Luke Raley Returns On Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder/first baseman Luke Raley (illness) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This is good news after Raley was scratched from Sunday's contest due to flu-like symptoms. It must've been a minor issue as Raley is in the leadoff spot and covering first base against […]

Victor Robles Remains Out On Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (finger) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The speedy outfielder will miss his second game in a row due to a bruised right finger. He suffered the injury during Saturday's game, but will hopefully only need a few days off to […]

Brenton Doyle Scratched On Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle (leg) has been scratched ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. The team has decided to pull Doyle from the game due to right leg soreness. For now, Doyle is considered as day-to-day, so it looks like he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. In the meantime, Jake […]

Ryan Jeffers Retreats To The Bench

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers will head to the bench ahead of Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Jeffers returned to the lineup on Sunday after leaving Friday's game due to a right hand injury. It's uncertain if Jeffers suffered a setback or if he's just getting a rest day on Monday. Regardless, Christian Vazquez […]

Sean Murphy Heads To The Bench

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This appears to be a routine rest day for Murphy who has started in six of the last seven games. It's worth noting that fellow catcher Travis d'Arnaud returned from the injured list over the weekend. […]

Michael Harris II Remains Out On Monday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hand) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This isn't too shocking, considering Harris was forced to exit early during Sunday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. Luckily, it appears Harris has avoided any fractures and should be […]

Washington Nationals outfield prospect Dylan Crews is starting in right field and is batting second against the New York Yankees and left-hander Nestor Cortes in his major-league debut on Monday night at Nationals Park.

Jose Altuve Out Against Phillies

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is getting a day off on Monday for the series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in a rematch of last year's World Series. With Altuve out, rookie Shay Whitcomb will make the start at the keystone and bat ninth for Houston against Phillies right-hander Zack […]
