Melvin Gordon III To Be Part Of Tandem Attack?

The Denver Broncos likely plan this year will be to use running backs Melvin Gordon III and rookie Javonte Williams as a tandem that can equal parts control the clock and produce big plays, increasing their per-carry average. One possible scenario is Gordon starting the season opener against the New York Giants, and maybe beyond, […]

Miguel Sano Struggling, But Should See Regular Playing Time

Minnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano has had a rough time at the plate this year, slashing just .198/.278/.426 over 72 games. He has just one home run over his last 51 at-bats. However, with Alex Kirilloff (wrist) undergoing surgery and likely to miss the rest of the season, Sano should find himself with an […]

Michael Pineda Picks Up Fourth Victory

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda notched his fourth victory of the season in Wednesday's defeat of the White Sox. Pineda pitched five innings, allowing one run on four hits while issuing just one walk. The veteran right-hander struck out four and had his slider in peak form, generating nine of his 10 whiffs on […]

Broncos Think Javonte Williams Is Special

The Denver Broncos were ecstatic when they traded up five spots on April 30 to take running back Javonte Williams in the second round this year. Williams was identified as the draft's top running back after he averaged 7.3 yards per carry in 2020 for North Carolina. "We just think he's a special back," general […]

Giancarlo Stanton Could Play Outfield This Weekend

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton hasn't played in the outfield in a regular season game since September 28, 2019. However, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, there is a "good chance" Stanton plays in the outfield during this weekend's series against the Boston Red Sox. Stanton would of course still need to string […]

Rougned Odor Belts 11th Homer

New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor swatted his 11th homer of the season in Wednesday's victory over the Phillies. Odor's round-tripper registered an exit velocity of 103.1 MPH, traveling 363 feet.

The Detroit Tigers have placed infielder Isaac Paredes (hip) on the 10-day injured list due to a right hip strain. The move is retroactive to July 20.

Jake Rogers Likely Out Until September

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers (forearm) was placed on the injured list this past Monday due to a right forearm strain. It was originally estimated that he would miss two or three weeks, but now it sounds like the injury will keep him out longer. The team is going to shut him down for 2-4 […]

Wilmer Flores Plays Hero With Homer Wednesday

San Francisco Giants second/third baseman made his one hit count in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers, going 1-for-4 with a two-run, go-ahead home run.

Miami Marlins closer Yimi Garcia picked up his 14th save of the season on Wednesday with a perfect 10th inning of work. Garcia came into the bottom of the 10th inning with the task of preserving a 3-1 lead and he did just that, recording a fly out, a ground out, and a line out […]

Nate Lowe Heading To The Bench On Thursday

Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Tyler Alexander and the Detroit Tigers.

Dallas Goedert Likely Back To Sharing His Position

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was flying up draft boards all offseason with the news that Zach Ertz would be playing elsewhere in 2022. While the Eagles did allow Ertz to explore trade options, it seems no team was willing to take on the $8.5 million owed to the 30-year-old who just came off […]

Asher Wojciechowski Pitches Four Innings In Spot Start

New York Yankees pitcher Asher Wojciechowski worked four innings in a spot start against the Phillies on Wednesday.

Hector Neris Suffers Another Blow Up On Wednesday At Yankees

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris allowed three runs in one inning at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday. Two steps forward, three steps back for Neris, who earned a save in his last outing on Sunday.

Vitek Vanecek In Line For Big Role With Kraken

The Seattle Kraken selected goaltender Vitek Vanecek from the Washington Capitals in the Expansion Draft on Wednesday night. The 25-year-old is coming off a very respectable rookie campaign in D.C. in 2020-2021 - posting a 21-10-4 record to go along with a 2.69 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage in 36 appearances. Vanecek will […]

Spencer Howard Spins Three Good Innings At Yankees

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Spencer Howard threw three shutout innings in a start at the Yankees on Wednesday. Howard allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two.

Jared McCann Headed To Seattle

Forward Jared McCann will be joining the Seattle Kraken in its debut season in 2021-2022 as the franchise selected him from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night. The 25-year-old was only a member of the Leafs for a handful of days following getting traded from Pittsburgh in exchange for prospect Filip Hallander and a […]

Carey Price To Remain In Montreal Following Expansion Draft

The Seattle Kraken chose to pass on goaltender Carey Price in Wednesday's expansion draft. The 33-year-old netminder's decision to volunteer to be exposed so his team could instead protect fellow goaltender Jake Allen was arguably one of the biggest topics of discussion over the past few days. Price had a mediocre regular season in 2020-2021 […]

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Scott Barlow closed out the team's 6-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday to earn his fifth save of the year.

Ranger Suarez Tagged With Loss Versus Yankees

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Ranger Suarez was the tough-luck loser on Wednesday at the Yankees, as he allowed an unearned run to score in the 10th inning.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Texas Rangers. The home run was his eighth of the year and his third over his past six games. Baddoo had a long power drought, hitting just one home run from April 14 to July 10, but […]
