Max Fried Tosses Solid Outing Versus Dodgers

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried was smacked around during his last outing, but did turn it around on Sunday. He threw six innings, six hits allowed, one earned run, and four walks in the victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It wasn't a perfect outing, but Fried was holding his own out there. The […]

Dane Dunning Throws Five Scoreless Innings

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning looked sharp during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He tossed five scoreless innings, three hits allowed, two walks, and six strikeouts. Somehow, the Rangers managed to lose 7-1, but you can thank the Rangers' bullpen for that one. Dunning will carry a 4.26 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and […]

Jakob Junis Optioned To Minors

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jakob Junis has been optioned to Triple-A to free up a roster spot for Jackson Kowar. This shouldn't surprise anyone with Junis posting a 5.19 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 35/11 K/BB ratio across 34 2/3 innings. He was already pulled out of the rotation, so Junis was the odd man out […]

Jackson Kowar To Make MLB Debut Monday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jackson Kowar is scheduled to make the start against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. The young starter will make his MLB debut after posting a 0.85 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 41/10 K/BB ratio over 31 2/3 innings of work in Triple-A this season. The fact he has been this […]

Austin Voth Suffers Broken Nose On Sunday

Washington Nationals pitcher Austin Voth (nose) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He suffered a broken nose when getting hit in the face by a pitch. It sounds like he'll remain in Philly to have his nose reset before rejoining the team. The Nationals have not announced a timetable […]

Nick Maton Optioned To Triple-A

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Nick Maton has been optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. It is a bit of an odd move considering the organization didn't announce a corresponding move along with Maton to the minors. He slashed .255/.296/.373 with a pair of homers, and eight RBI during his first stint in the MLB. Maton didn't offer […]

Triston McKenzie Has Solid AAA Start

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie pitched 5 1/3 innings while allowing no runs on two hits and two walks and striking out four for AAA Columbus on Sunday. It is nice to see McKenzie working things out in AAA for Columbus as he needs to cut back on the walks to have success at […]

James Kaprielian Pitches Well Despite Loss At Colorado

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian allowed two runs in five innings but was outpitched by German Marquez Sunday at Coors Field. Kaprielian danced around trouble all afternoon as he allowed eight hits and three walks, but he managed to escape with just the two runs allowed. The right-hander has been a pleasant surprise for […]

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Michael Fulmer (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday due to a right shoulder strain. Pitcher Jason Foley was called up from Triple-A to fill Fulmer's roster spot. Fulmer's injury history makes any injury to his throwing arm scary. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told the media, "We need […]

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jose Urena made his return from the injured list on Sunday against the Chicago White Sox after missing the minimum 10 days due to a forearm injury.
