Kyle Larson And His Consistency Punctuated At Darlington

Naturally, Kyle Larson keeps finishing in the top-three including the last three appearances at Darlington. However, despite leading 204 out of 660 laps last season, the No. 5 car still did not win either race on the track "too tough to tame". Larson has found more ways to almost win on this course than most […]

Joey Logano Wins Pole At Darlington

Joey Logano the last few seasons has performed pretty well at Darlington for the most part. He has three top-ten results in his last six races. The fact that he won the pole for Sunday's race was mildly surprising. The Team Penske driver barely beat out Kyle Larson in the final round of qualifying. The […]

Jorge Soler Swats Grand Slam Saturday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler launched a grand slam to cap off his club's 8-0 win over the Padres on Saturday night. His 405' shot to left field in the top of the ninth was his first slam of his career, and fourth long ball of the year, as he also added a double to […]

Brandon Lowe Lifts Two Dingers In Win

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe launched a pair of long balls to help his club defeat the Mariners 8-2 on Saturday night. The left-handed slugger victimized Marco Gonzales in the fourth inning and then again in the sixth as he also added a pair of walks to finish the game going 2-for-3 with […]

Pablo Lopez Tosses Eight-Shutout In Victory

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez continued his impressive campaign on Saturday against the Padres, tossing eight-shutout frames in the 8-0 victory. The right-hander struck out five while walking two and giving up five hits, which were all singles, in the 97-pitch outing to improve his record to 4-1. Lopez has now allowed one run […]

Mark Melancon Allows Four Runs, Blows Save Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Mark Melancon blew his first save of the season on Saturday as he allowed four runs (three earned) in the club's 4-1 loss to the Rockies. The veteran returned to the mound after a 10-day stint on the COVID list on Friday night to record a one-out save, but couldn't shake the […]

Brandon Belt Exits With Neck Stiffness

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt departed Saturday's contest versus the Cardinals early due to stiffness in his neck and is considered day-to-day. Belt's injury came on a swing during his at-bat in the eighth inning as his club was enjoying a 13-7 lead, so he was pulled before finishing the AB, The timing […]

J.P. Crawford Leaves With Back Spasms

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford left Saturday's contest versus the Rays with back spasms after diving into first base in the third inning. He remained in the game for the defensive half of the fourth inning, but was pulled before the fifth on a chilly evening in Seattle. The injury seems to be a minor […]

Patrick Wisdom Suffers Ankle Contusion

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom was forced from Saturday's second game of a doubleheader with an ankle injury after his at-bat in the seventh inning. He fouled a ball of his ankle in the first game of the twin bill, but stayed in the lineup for the remainder of the day until favoring his […]

Gabe Vincent Questionable For Game 4

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is questionable ahead of Sunday's playoff matchup against Philadelphia. The 25-year-old has been dealing with right knee irritation for a while now, so he probably won't miss any time unless the ailment turns in the wrong direction. With Kyle Lowry (hamstring) recently returning for Game 3 on Friday night, […]

P.J. Tucker Listed On The Injury Report, Again

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is questionable for Sunday's postseason meeting against Philly. It wouldn't be an injury report unless Tucker and his nagging right calf strain were on it. Yet, considering he hasn't missed time recently because of the ailment, it should be business as usual for the 36-year-old in Game 4. Tucker […]

Max Strus Back On The Injury Report For Sunday

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's playoff battle against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 26-year-old has played well throughout the postseason, averaging 11.6 points, 2.9 assists, and 1.3 steals. Kyle Lowry (hamstring) returned for Game 3 after missing some time with his own hamstring issue. Yet, considering Lowry isn't 100%, there's still […]

Caleb Martin Still Dealing With An Ankle Injury

Miami Heat guard Caleb Martin (ankle) is questionable heading into Game 4 of the postseason series against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 26-year-old has a sprained left ankle. However, considering he's continuously played with the ailment for a while now, he's not expected to sit this one out. Nonetheless, Martin is only averaging 3.8 points throughout […]

Ja Morant Injures Knee, Exits Game 3

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (knee) exited Saturday's postseason matchup against the Warriors. During garbage time late in the fourth quarter, the superstar tweaked his right knee and was taken back to the locker room for further evaluation. He'll likely undergo more testing ahead of Game 4, but it appears there's a real chance he […]

Tyler Herro Questionable For Game 3

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is questionable ahead of Sunday's postseason matchup against Philadelphia. He has a sprained left ankle, which is nothing new, so it's highly unlikely he won't be around for Game 4. Kyle Lowry (hamstring) returned on Friday, but there's a slight chance he may be sidelined some more. If he's […]

Kyle Lowry Back On The Injury Report

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is back on the injury report ahead of Sunday's playoff showdown with the Philadelphia 76ers. Lowry returned on Friday night after straining his left hamstring during the previous series versus the Atlanta Hawks. However, while it was good to see the veteran back in the lineup for Game 3, […]

Franmil Reyes Homers In Saturday's Game 2 Win

Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Franmil Reyes went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's Game 2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. He took Ross Stripling deep in the third inning for his third long ball of the season. The 26-year-old went 3-for-6 with a homer and a walk over both games in Saturday's […]

Jhoan Duran Notches Second Save On Saturday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Jhoan Duran allowed one walk while striking out five across two scoreless innings in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Oakland Athletics. He entered the eighth inning with a one-run lead and recorded six outs to earn the save on Saturday. The 24-year-old has electric stuff, posting a 3.68 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and […]

Dane Dunning Will Start Sunday Vs. The Yankees

Texas Rangers pitcher Dane Dunning will start Game 1 of the team's doubleheader Sunday against the New York Yankees. The Yankees-Rangers series was postponed for a second consecutive day due to inclement weather. Dunning had his start pushed back one day. The 27-year-old owns a 3.81 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 26 strikeouts over 26 innings […]

Kris Bryant Making "Steady Progress" In His Recovery

Colorado Rockies' third baseman Kris Bryant (back) is making "steady progress" in his recovery from a back injury. Bryant was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 29th. He will remain in Arizona for treatment at the team's extended Spring Training facility when the Rockies head to San Francisco this week. The 30-year-old is […]

Al Horford Looks Sharp In Game 3

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford looked like he was back in his prime during Saturday's Game 3 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. One of the biggest reasons why Horford played well is that Milwaukee swapped Bobby Portis for Grayson Allen in the starting five. Horford took full advantage of that and nearly helped his team […]

Jayson Tatum Struggles In Loss

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (wrist) had a tough time getting anything to go his way during Saturday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. The All-Star forward has been dealing with a lingering left wrist injury for around two months. Tatum did fall to the ground on a dunk, but he appeared to be fine afterwards. […]

Jon Berti Lands On The Injured List

The Miami Marlins placed infielder Jon Berti on the injured list Saturday. He was placed on the injured list with no injury designation, which is the same consistent pattern when a player is dealing with COVID. The 30-year-old either tested positive for COVID-19 or came in close contact with someone who was infected. He is […]

Carlos Martinez Signs Minor League Deal With Boston

Free-agent right-hander Carlos Martinez (thumb) signed a minor-league deal with the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. He agreed to a minor league deal with the San Francisco Giants during the offseason but was released in late April. The 30-year-old posted a 6.23 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and 57 strikeouts over 82 1/3 innings for the Cardinals […]

Roberto Perez Placed On Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Roberto Perez (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He was forced to exit early during Saturday's first game of the doubleheader versus the Cincinnati Reds. Perez was unable to put any pressure on his leg, so he could end up missing significant time. Andrew Knapp and Michael Perez should […]

Brandon Belt Activated From COVID-19 List

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt has been activated off the COVID-19 list on Saturday. He has missed over a week of action after testing positive for COVID-19 in late April. Before that, Belt was hitting well for the Giants, so hopefully that continues to happen. He'll play first base and bat third versus […]

Dauri Moreta Will Be The Opener On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Dauri Moreta will be the opener for Saturday's second game of the doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This looks like it's going to be a bullpen game for the Reds pitching staff. Moreta is posting a 5.11 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 13/6 K/BB ratio in 12 appearances this season. That being said, […]
