Patrick Corbin Takes No-Decision Thursday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin got plenty of run support Thursday night, leaving game two of the doubleheader against the Phillies in position for a win, but an unfortunate bullpen meltdown left him with just a no-decision.

Yadiel Hernandez Drives In Two In Game Two

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez started game two of Thursday's doubleheader, going 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Ryan Zimmerman Reaches Four Times In Loss

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman started Thursday's nightcap against the Philadelphia Phillies, batting third and playing first base.

[…]

Juan Soto Adds Three Hits In Nightcap Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 3-for-5 with three singles and two runs scored in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Daniel Hudson Traded To Padres

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson has been traded to the San Diego Padres, according to Robert Murray of Fan Sided.

Aldama averaged 21.2 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, though he wasn't playing against elite competition. There's a ton of upside here as Aldama […]

Nets Take Day’Ron Sharpe At 29

With the 29th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets — who acquired the picks from the Suns in a deal that sent Landry Shamet to Phoenix — have selected North Carolina center Day'Ron Sharpe.

Last season, Springer averaged 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 43.5 prcent from three.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (back) was removed in the third inning during the second game of a doubleheader Thursday against the Washington Nationals.

Nets Take Cam Thomas At 27

With the 27th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets have selected LSU guar Cam Thomas. Thomas showed a knack for scoring with LSU last season, averaging 23.0 points per game, though he shot just 40.6 percent. That efficiency should rise in Brooklyn though, as Thomas will be surrounded by James Harden, Kevin […]

Nuggets Draft Bones Hyland

With the 26th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets have drafted VCU guard Bones Hyland. The Atlantic-10 Player of the Year, Hyland is a great scorer who can hit the three but can also score inside.

Kyle Schwarber Traded To Red Sox

Washington Nationals outfielder Kyle Schwarber (hamstring) has been traded to the Boston Red Sox, per Robert Murray of Fan Sided.

Of course, […]

Yoan Moncada Goes Hitless In Loss Thursday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada continued his struggles at the plate on Thursday, finishing 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a 5-0 loss to the Royals.

Rockets Take Usman Garuba With 23rd Pick

With the 23rd pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets have drafted Real Madrid center Usman Garuba.

Wizards Draft Isaiah Jackson, Trade Him For Aaron Holiday

With the 22nd pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards selected Kentucky center Isaiah Jackson, then traded Jackson to the Indiana Pacers for guard Aaron Holiday.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu tossed six scoreless innings on Thursday as his club rolled to a 13-1 victory over the Red Sox.
