Jose Iglesias Getting A Breather On Thursday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Jose Iglesias is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker went 6-plus innings pitched in the Mets 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, yielding just two hits, one walk, and two earned runs (three runs total).

Andrew McCutchen Collects Two Hits In Loss To Rays

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a run scored in a loss to the Rays on Wednesday.
