Carlos Correa Looks To Snap Skid On Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) underwent successful surgery to repair his torn ACL on Wednesday, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic.

Eddie Rosario Making Progress In Rehab, Still No Timetable

Cleveland Indians outfielder Eddie Rosario (abdomen) is doing rotational exercises and progressing well in his rehab program, according to Mandy Bell of MLB.com.

Mitch Haniger Held Without A Hit

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger didn't look like himself during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts at the plate during Thursday's 4-1 defeat. It was a frustrating day for the Mariners who managed just four total hits in this one. Despite a rough day at the plate, Haniger is […]

Kris Bryant Gets Pitch Hit Appearance On Thursday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hamstring) got back onto the field during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, but this was a positive sign. He came off the bench and recorded a walk in a pinch hit appearance versus lefty T.J. McFarland. Sadly, it […]

Dodgers Intrigued With Ian Kennedy

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Ian Kennedy could be on the move within the next week or so. The veteran closer is one of the few trade pieces that Texas has to offer right now. The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly shown interest in acquiring Kennedy. This season, Kennedy has a 2.59 ERA and 33/7 K/BB […]

Joc Pederson Struggles On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson was unable to get much going at the plate during Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. In fact, Pederson went 0-for-5 at the plate versus lefty Matt Moore. To be fair, Pederson does not hit left pitching well, so this wasn't an ideal matchup for him. He has already shown […]

Orlando Arcia Smacks Solo Blast In Victory

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia has struggled during a majority of his time with the big league club. However, he finally had something go his way during Thursday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run off lefty Matt Moore in the fourth inning.

Ronald Torreyes Reaches Four Times In Loss To Braves

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Ronald Torreyes had a perfect day at the plate on Thursday, going 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in a loss to Atlanta. Torreyes has filled in admirably at the hot corner, but his days as a starter are numbered as Alec Bohm (COVID) is starting a rehab assignment […]

Matt Moore Allows Six Runs To Braves

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Matt Moore allowed six runs in six innings in a loss to the Braves on Thursday. Moore actually wasn't terrible in this one aside from one inning that culminated with a grand slam off the bat of Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson. All the runs count, however, and Moore's ERA rose to […]

Andrew Heaney Looks Sharp Thursday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (6-7) pitched well in Thursday's 3-2 win against the Minnesota Twins. He threw seven innings while giving up two runs, two walks, no home runs and striking out seven while securing the victory. His biggest issue this year has been the long ball, so it's a good sign […]

Mark Canha Reaches Base Four Times Versus Mariners Thursday

Michael Thomas To Miss The Start Of The 2021 Season

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) underwent surgery to repair the ligaments in his ankle last month. Four months of recovery are recommended after the surgery, which means Thomas is likely to be sidelined for several weeks at the start of the 2021 season. This news will certainly make Thomas's ADP drop significantly. […]

Adam Eaton Collects A Hit Thursday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Adam Eaton went 1-for-3 with a single and a run scored during Thursday night's victory against the Minnesota Twins. He's now gone 6-for-18 with a double and two runs since joining the Angels on July 14. Nonetheless, it's been a difficult year for Eaton at the plate. He's slashing .213/.300/.348 with […]
