Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's victory over the Kansas City Royals. Jeffers' homer was a towering blast, traveling 435 feet at an exit velocity of 110.4 MPH. The young backstop's time down at Triple-A must have served him well, as he has looked like a completely […]

Jose Iglesias Activated, Starting Saturday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Jose Iglesias (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The veteran infielder missed the minimal 10 days, while recovering from a hamstring issue. Jose Rojas has been optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Bailey Ober Gets Spot Start On Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober will receive a spot start against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The right-hander will be making his second appearance of the season.

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers picked up his sixth hold of the season in Saturday's win over the Kansas City Royals.

Austin Nola Nearing Rehab Assignment

San Diego Padres catcher Austin Nola (knee) will need to have a rehab assignment before returning to the big league roster. He was placed on the 10-day injured list towards the end of May.

Drew Steckenrider, Yacksel Rios Join Mariners Roster

Seattle Mariners relief pitchers Drew Steckenrider (protocols) and Yacksel Rios will join the roster on Saturday. Steckenrider has been activated off the 10-day injured list and Rios was acquired by Seattle earlier this week.

Zack Britton To Pitch Again Tuesday

New York Yankees pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) will throw again on Tuesday with Double-A Somerset. He made his third rehab appearance on Friday, so it sounds like Britton is making steadily progress.

He will be replaced […]

Corey Kluber Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday. Kluber was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain, though the move to the 60-day injured list isn't because of a new development in his status but for roster management purposes. The veteran hurler was able to resume throwing on […]
