San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) is opting to rehab his knee rather than undergo surgery.

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 […]

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.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (foot) won't be available for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Hawks. While Young reported that he is feeling better, he still isn't healthy enough to suit up as he continues to deal with a bruised right foot. With the series knotted up, there is a chance […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Scratched With Back Tightness

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday due to mid-back tightness. It's not the first time that Acuna has dealt with back issues, but the good news is that he's available to pinch hit against the division-rival New York Mets. The 23-year-old is one of the best […]

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (shin) is returning to the starting lineup on Thursday after fouling a ball off his shin on Monday night. Yastrzemski will return to right field and bat second on Thursday against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly.

Trea Turner Out Of The Lineup Against Dodgers

Tony Gonsolin Won't Start On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers scheduled starter Tony Gonsolin won't start on Thursday as planned, but he is warming up as if he will operate as the Dodgers bulk pitcher this evening. 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.
