Bryan Reynolds Drives In Two In Saturday's Loss

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds had one hit in four at-bats on Saturday against the New York Yankees, a two-run homer in the bottom of the first. His club still lost, though, 6-3. Reynolds has been solid once again this season, as he's slashed .272/.333/.474 with 22 home runs, 78 runs, 77 RBI, and 12 […]

Adbert Alzolay Plays Catch Saturday

Chicago Cubs right-hander Adbert Alzolay (forearm) played catch on Saturday before his club's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to MLB.com. The 28-year-old was placed on the injured list earlier this week with a right forearm strain. There's a chance Alzolay can return to the Cubs before the end of the regular season, though. Over […]

Triston Casas Hits The Injured List Saturday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, according to MLB.com. Bobby Dalbec was recalled in a corresponding move. The Rookie of the Year candidate missed Friday's contest and was scratched from Saturday's lineup with right shoulder soreness. Hours later, the club decided Casas would […]

Corey Kluber Done For The Season

Boston Red Sox right-hander Corey Kluber (shoulder) won't pitch again this season, according to MLB.com. The 37-year-old was in the middle of a rehab assignment but will instead focus on getting healthy during the offseason from shoulder inflammation that's kept him on the shelf since June 20. Kluber's first season in Boston wasn't pretty, as […]

C.J. Cron Back From The Injured List Saturday

The Los Angeles Angels activated first baseman C.J. Cron from the injured list on Saturday after missing about a month with a back ailment. The veteran 33-year-old has split time between the Angels and the Colorado Rockies this season, slashing .252/.299/.441 with 12 bombs, 38 runs, and 37 RBI across 70 contests. Cron isn't starting […]

Tanner Bibee Removed With Hip Tightness

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee (hip) left his Saturday start against the Texas Rangers with right hip tightness after 5 1/3 innings of work, according to Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal. Before leaving the game, he allowed one run on five hits and no walks while striking out four. Bibee's enjoyed a […]

Ian Kennedy Placed On The 60-Day Injured List

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Ian Kennedy (shoulder) has been placed on the 60-day injured list with a strained right rotator cuff. The 38-year-old veteran mostly struggled this season, putting up a 7.16 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 21:7 K/BB ratio over 16 1/3 innings (16 appearances). His season is now done, even if the Rangers were […]

Christian Yelich Remains Out On Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is not in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Washington Nationals. The veteran outfielder missed six consecutive games dating back to last week before playing in Friday's game. He ended up leaving that contest early and is now sitting out on Saturday. It doesn't appear that Yelich had […]

Isaac Paredes Not In The Lineup On Saturday Vs. Baltimore

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes is absent from the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This looks to just be a day off for the 24-year-old slugger as Curtis Mead will start at third base and bat sixth against Grayson Rodriguez and the O's. Paredes has put it all together this […]

Heston Kjerstad Is Not In The Lineup On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad is absent from the Orioles' starting lineup on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The top-prospect homered in Friday's contest while serving as the O's designated hitter but he'll start Saturday's game on the bench as Anthony Santander steps in as DH against Tyler Glasnow and the Rays. Kjerstad will […]

Felix Bautista Plays Catch Again On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Felix Bautista (elbow) played catch once again on Saturday and is gradually increasing the distance in which he is throwing, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. Bautista landed on the injured list back in late August with a partially torn UCL in his throwing elbow but he's been making solid […]

Michael Fulmer Lands On The 15-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Michael Fulmer (forearm) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a forearm issue on Saturday. The 30-year-old righty was recently activated from the injured list on September 11 after dealing with the same forearm issue but only made one appearance for the Cubbies before landing back on the IL. […]

Shohei Ohtani Out For The Season With Oblique Strain

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list and will be out for the remainder of the regular season. The 29-year-old superstar was also diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow last month but was still serving as the Angels' DH up until September […]

Tristan Gray Getting Called Up By The Rays

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Tristan Gray has had his contract selected from Triple-A Durham and is slated to make his MLB debut this weekend. Infielder Taylor Walls was placed on the paternity list so Gray will take his place on the roster. The 27-year-old prospect has some swing and miss to his game with a […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Out On Saturday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (calf) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Miami Marlins. The 25-year-old phenom left Friday's contest early with calf tightness so the Braves want to give him an extra day to rest up. This move makes sense with the NL East division already clinched and the […]

Manny Machado Not In The Lineup On Saturday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran third baseman has been in and out of the lineup over the last six games while dealing with tennis elbow in his right arm. So far, he's been able to manage the issue with […]

Charlie Blackmon Taking A Seat In Game 1 Of Doubleheader Vs. The Giants

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants. The 37-year-old will take a seat in the opening game while Elehuris Montero serves as the Rockies' DH against San Francisco opener Keaton Winn. Blackmon has quietly been highly productive this season for […]

Mitch Haniger Absent From The Lineup For Game 1 Of Doubleheader

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran outfielder will likely be out there for Game 2 in the afternoon but he'll be taking a seat in the opener. Haniger has struggled mightily at the dish since being activated […]

Ha-Seong Kim Goes Hitless In Five At-Bats

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim went hitless in five at-bats out of the leadoff spot in the 8-3 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night, but he also walked and stole his 36th base of the season. The 27-year-old has easily had the best season of his career in 2023, hitting .266/.356/.408 with […]

Patrick Bailey Sitting In First Game Of Doubleheader

San Francisco Giants rookie catcher Patrick Bailey is not in the starting lineup on Saturday for the contest against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Game 1 of a doubleheader. Blake Sabol is doing the catching and will bat in the nine-hole for the Gigantes. Bailey will most certainly be in the team's lineup […]

Johnny Cueto Doesn't Last Long Against Braves

Miami Marlins right-hander Johnny Cueto wasn't very effective in a no-decision on Friday night in an eventual 9-6 win over the visiting Atlanta Braves. Cueto allowed three earned runs on seven hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out two in only four innings of work. The veteran 37-year-old Dominican hurler has only appeared […]

Triston Casas Scratched From Saturday's Lineup

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (shoulder) was scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Toronto Blue Jays for the second straight day due to a sore shoulder. Justin Turner is now starting at first base and will bat third against Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt. Masataka Yoshida is the designated hitter, Adam Duvall […]

Royce Lewis Hits Another Grand Slam

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Royce Lewis continues to have a flare for the dramatic with the bases loaded, as he hit a franchise-record fourth grand slam on Friday in the 10-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. Lewis also became the first player in MLB history with five grand slams among his first 16 career home […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Has Big Game In Win Over Astros

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. finished Friday night's 4-2 win over the visiting Houston Astros by going 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two stolen bases and a walk. Witt's home run proved to be the difference in this ballgame, and he's now up to a career-high 29 home runs and a career-high […]

Carlos Santana Goes Yard Twice Friday Night

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Carlos Santana displayed some power in Friday night's 5-3 win over the visiting Washington Nationals, going 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk while hitting third in the lineup. The Brewers acquired Santana in a midseason trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he's now up to 21 home runs, […]
