Bobby Witt Jr. Promoted To Triple-A On Sunday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. was promoted to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. The move is not too surprising, as Witt had been raking at Double-A Northwest-Arkansas this season, slashing .292/.369/.568 with 16 homers, 14 steals, 49 RBI and 44 runs scored over 58 games. Witt is now […]

Christian Arroyo Likely Heading To Injured List

Boston Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo (hamstring) is most likely heading to the injured list after exiting Sunday's game due to a strained hamstring, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers had three walks Sunday, the first time this season he's collected as many free passes in a game. Devers has posted a career-high 8.5 percent walk rate in his 376 plate appearances this year, and that improved batting eye may be contributing to his outstanding year. With his […]

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Martin Perez took his fifth loss of the season against the New York Yankees Sunday night, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk in four innings. He struck out five batters. Perez has a decent 4.16 ERA on the season, but he hasn't completed six innings since June […]

Hector Neris Slams Door On Marlins For 12th Save

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris pitched a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts to earn his 12th save of the season Sunday versus the Marlins. Closer intrigue in Philly? Perhaps. Ranger Suarez had earned the previous three saves for the Phillies and, since he pitched each of the last two days, was likely unavailable […]

Didi Gregorius Hits Eighth Homer Sunday Versus Marlins

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius launched a solo homer on Sunday in a win versus the Marlins. It was his only hit in four at-bats as the veteran shortstop is batting just .221 on the season.

Dominic Smith Adds Three Hits Against Pittsburgh

New York Mets utility man Travis Blankenhorn played a key role in the comeback win over the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday, hitting a pinch-hit three-run home run off of Pirates starter J.T. Brubaker in the fourth inning. It was his first major-league home run. Blankenhorn has enjoyed some success in his limited action this year, going […]

Jonathan Davis Heading To Buffalo

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jonathan Davis is heading back down to Triple-A Buffalo. Davis was recalled a few weeks ago, so his most recent tenure with the big club was short-lived. The 29-year-old hasn't done much this season, batting only .143 throughout 48 games in the majors, so it's unlikely any fantasy managers will miss […]

Taijuan Walker Records Just One Out Sunday

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker recorded just one out against the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday, allowing six runs (five earned) on four hits and four walks. He also made an inexplicable mental error when he swatted what he thought was a foul dribbler towards the third-base dugout. The umpire ruled the ball fair, and […]

Trey Amburgey Day-To-Day

New York Yankees outfielder Trey Amburgey (hamstring) is considered day-to-day. Amburgey exited Sunday's matchup against the Red Sox after injuring his right hamstring. Although it looked bad when it happened, it now appears that he was dealing with a cramp, which is good news for a club that is sorely lacking depth in the outfield. […]

Ty France Homers, Drives In Three Sunday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France had three hits in four at-bats Sunday, including his ninth home run of the season, a three-run shot off of Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval.

Zach Davies Can't Get Through Five Innings

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies only lasted 4 2/3 innings in Sunday's no-decision versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Jake Fraley Diagnosed With COVID-19

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley (illness) has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Fraley hasn't been in the lineup because of Flu-like issues.

Will Smith Has Big Game In Loss

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith put together a nice all-around performance in Sunday's loss versus the Colorado Rockies. Smith went 3-for-4 at the plate with a walk, three RBI and a stolen base. Smith continues to be one of the more productive options behind the dish and is now hitting .265 with 11 homers […]
