Hunter Harvey Dealing With Shoulder Issue

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Hunter Harvey (shoulder) is considered day-to-day. The 26-year-old was due to enter the game against Houston on Wednesday night, but he was ultimately held out after experiencing right shoulder discomfort while warming up. The news is concerning, primarily since he has already spent most of the year on the 60-day IL because […]

Kolten Wong Aggravates Calf Issue

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (calf) exited Thursday's matchup against Pittsburgh. The timing isn't good, primarily since the veteran missed three games already this week because of the ailment. With the calf tightness not going away, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that Wong may be nearing a stint on the 10-day injured list. […]

Alex Kirilloff Extends Hitting Streak To Four Games

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Alex Kirilloff extended his hitting streak to four games with Thursday's multi-hit effort against the Chicago White Sox.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday due to mid-back tightness.

Gonsolin has only allowed one run in each of his four starts since returning from a shoulder injury, but he has failed to go past […]

Zack Collins Goes Yard In Victory

Chicago White Sox catcher Zack Collins put together a strong performance in Thursday's win versus the Minnesota Twins. Collins went 2-for-3 with a walk, stolen base, two RBI and a solo home run. The stolen base would be his first of the season and managers shouldn't expect many more moving forward. Despite the nice day […]

The San Francisco Giants placed outfielder Mike Tauchman (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a right knee sprain and recalled outfielder Jaylin Davis from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Victor Gonzalez To Serve As Opener Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Victor Gonzalez will get the start on Thursday as the opener as the team visits the Washington Nationals.
