Houston Astros right-hander Luis Garcia (elbow) is throwing out to 75 feet and is going to get back on a mound in a couple of days, according to general manager Dana Brown.

Nick Senzel Could See Regular Playing Time At Second Base

With Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (groin) potentially returning from the injured list soon and Lenyn Sosa sent to Triple-A Charlotte, it seems as though the newly signed Nick Senzel could be set to take over the majority of time at second base with his new team.

Houston Texans second-year pass-rusher Will Anderson said he added 15 pounds to his frame this offseason and is now at 263 pounds heading into the 2024 season.

Randall Cobb Becoming College Football Analyst

Veteran wide receiver Randall Cobb is hanging up his cleats and will join the SEC Network as a college football studio analyst this year.

Houston Texans second-year quarterback C.J. Stroud, who won Offensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2023, said he thinks there are "a ton of things" he can do better in his second year in the NFL, starting with "owning the offense more" than he did a year ago.

Brady House Has A Chance To Become Nationals Third Baseman This Year

Washington Nationals infield prospect Trey Lipscomb has taken over third-base duties after the team released Nick Senzel earlier this month. While Lipscomb's defense has been solid at the hot corner, he's hit a disappointing .234/.296/.269 in 160 plate appearances. Meanwhile, infield prospect Brady House was recently promoted to Triple-A Rochester, where he's gone 4-for-12 with […]

Nationals Will Consider Calling Up Dylan Crews In The Second Half

MASN's Mark Zuckerman thinks the Washington Nationals are at least willing to consider calling outfield prospect Dylan Crews up to the big leagues in the second half of the season after they promoted him to Triple-A Rochester in mid-June.

Triston Casas Could Begin Rehab Assignment Before End Of July

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) started taking soft toss and hitting off a tee before the All-Star break and could progress within the next week to hitting in the cage with no setbacks. That could mean that he could head out on a minor-league rehab assignment before the end of July. Casas […]

Yainer Diaz An Option At First Base

The Athletic's Chandler Rome suggests the Houston Astros could move catcher Yainer Diaz to first base, perhaps putting him in a platoon with the left-handed-hitting Jon Singleton on days he does not catch, when Victor Caratini returns from a hip-flexor strain. The Astros haven't ruled out Diaz playing first base, and he took ground balls […]

Kyle Tucker Hasn't Resumed Hitting

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) fouled a pitch off his right shin on June 3 and is still walking with a slight limp. As of Sunday morning, he had only resumed light, on-field baseball activities that did not include hitting. "I can't do everything normally right now," Tucker said. The Astros have described Tucker's […]

Colson Montgomery Hoping To Find Consistency In Second Half

Chicago White Sox shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery has struggled to find consistency in the batter's box through his first look at Triple-A this summer. Across 78 games, the former 22nd overall selection sits with a .212/.328/.373 line, 11 home runs, 36 RBI, seven stolen bases, and a 43:101 BB:K ratio. These numbers are on pace […]

Jaison Chourio Incredible Through First Half

Cleveland Guardians outfield prospect Jaison Chourio has been incredible at Single-A through the first half of the season and should see time at High-A in the coming weeks. Through 71 games, the 19-year-old has posted a dominant .272/.394/.394 slash line. He has tallied 49 RBI, stole 26 bases, and holds a strong 55:51 BB:K ratio. […]

Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks scored 23 points and grabbed nine rebounds in Wednesday's 86-76 Summer League victory over Toronto. Following Monday's awful outing against the Kings, where Hendricks finished 0-for-6 from the field, the 20-year-old was nearly perfect from the floor, hitting 9-for-10, including 3-for-4 from downtown. Hendricks also notched a steal and a […]

Owen Caissie Solid At Triple-A Iowa

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie has turned in a good first half of the season for Triple-A Iowa.
