Kyle Busch Starts In Third Place

Kyle Busch will be looking to finally score a top-10 finish while starting in third place on Sunday at Michigan International Speedway.

Travis d'Arnaud Day-To-Day With Leg Injury

X-rays on Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud's right leg came back negative, and he's considered day-to-day. d'Arnaud was injured in the second game of the team's doubleheader on Saturday against the New York Mets, but he appears to have dodged a bullet and shouldn't miss too much time. Still, there's a good chance he won't […]

Frankie Montas Activated For Yankees Debut Sunday

The New York Yankees reinstated right-hander Frankie Montas from the bereavement list on Sunday in time for him to make his team debut against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (oblique) will miss yet another game on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: A.J. Puk was a project pick for the Oakland A's at 6th overall in the 2016 MLB Draft out of the University of Florida, and at age 27, the 6'7, 248-lb. lefty has definitely turned a corner. In 44.2 IP this season […]
