Jordan Holloway Optioned To Minors

Miami Marlins pitcher Jordan Holloway has been optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday. It's not a shocking move considering he did throw over four innings during Wednesday's contest. Holloway was excellent, tossing 4 1/3 scoreless innings and struck out six batters. Holloway has struggled as a starter, but appears to be a legit option out […]

David Price Could Be Stretched Out On Friday

Eloy Jimenez To Begin Rehab Assignment On Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Winston Salem on Friday.

Tony Kemp Goes Hitless Again As Struggles Continue

Oakland Athletics second baseman Tony Kemp went 0-for-4 on Wednesday against the Astros as he continues to struggle batting atop the batting order. Kemp has just two hits in his last 25 plate appearances and could drop in the batting order as a result of this cold streak. Kemp's time batting leadoff was likely coming […]

Domingo German Strikes Out Five In Bullpen Appearance

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German (tooth) put forth a solid effort out of the bullpen in Wednesday's win over the Seattle Mariners.

Elvis Andrus Hits Homer At Houston On Wednesday

Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday. The homer was his second this week, but also only his second on the season as he's slugging a measly .321 in his first season with the A's. His .086 ISO is his lowest mark since […]

Sean Manaea Posts Quality Start At Houston Wednesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings but took his sixth loss of the season Wednesday at the Astros. Manaea was plagued by the long ball in this one as he served up a three-run shot to Jose Altuve and a solo homer to Kyle Tucker, which would stand […]

Brett Anderson Pitches Well In Shortened Outing
