Elvis Andrus Continues To Struggle At The Plate

Oakland Athletics shortstop Elvis Andrus went 0-for-3 on Sunday as he continues to struggle in his first season away from Texas. Andrus is batting just .224 this season and is yet to homer in green and gold. He's not getting on base either, as his OBP sits at an anemic .272. He provides good defense […]

Dane Dunning Hit Around By Twins

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning did not look like himself during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Twins. Dunning went four innings, allowing a career-high 10 hits, while surrendering three earned runs. It's also worth noting that he walked two batters and struck out five over the course of his outing on Sunday. Despite this […]

Kenta Maeda Earns Third Win Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda earned his first win since returning from the injured list Sunday against the Texas Rangers. Maeda pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits with one walk issued. The veteran righty struck out four and induced 12 whiffs on 84 pitches. Maeda is still building up his […]

Matt Olson Launches Solo Homer In Loss To Yankees

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in a 2-1 loss to the Yankees on Sunday. Olson took left-hander Jordan Montgomery deep in the first inning with a moonshot homer to center field.

Aaron Sanchez Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (bicep) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list on Sunday. This clears room on the 40-man roster for John Brebbia to return from injury.

Chris Gittens Optioned To Triple-A

New York Yankees first baseman Chris Gittens was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's win over the Oakland Athletics. Gittens appeared in 10 games for the Yankees, going 2-for-18 with a home run and four RBI. By sending down Gittens, it seems like New York is making room on the roster for Luke Voit (oblique), […]

Sean Manaea Whiffs 11 Yankees In Loss

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea was the tough-luck loser on Sunday in Yankee Stadium, despite a season-high 11 strikeouts. Manaea cruised through five innings in a Father's Day pitcher's duel versus fellow lefty Jordan Montgomery, but he served up a two-run double in the sixth which would be the difference in the game. Despite […]

John Brebbia Activated Sunday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher John Brebbia (elbow) has been activated off the 60-day injured list on Sunday. He has been sidelined since last June after he underwent Tommy John surgery. Last offseason, the Cardinals non-tendered Brebbia, but the Giants were willing to take a chance on him. Since 2017, Brebbia has a 3.14 ERA […]

Zack Britton Dealing With Soreness

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (soreness) was unavailable Sunday due to some general soreness he was feeling. Manager Aaron Boone described the condition as similar to what pitchers feel when building up their arms in spring training, so it doesn't sound as if it's anything serious. The southpaw has shown decreased velocity on […]

Gary Sanchez Collects Two-Run Double

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and RBI in Sunday's win over the Oakland Athletics. Sanchez was stranded after a double in the first inning but left his mark on the game with a double in the sixth inning, scoring a pair of runners. Sanchez continues to hit […]

Austin Gomber Lands On Injured List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (forearm) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He exited early during Saturday's start due to left forearm tightness. Unsurprisingly, Gomber will head to the injured list and does not have a timetable attached. Hopefully, Gomber won't miss more than the minimal 10 days, but fantasy managers are […]

George Springer Likely To Drop In Batting Order

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quad) is nearing a return and is currently rehabbing in Triple-A Buffalo. Springer has been banged up all season long and has taken just 17 plate appearances with Toronto. On Sunday, manager Charlie Montoyo mentioned that Springer is likely going to bat fifth or sixth when he does return. […]

Aroldis Chapman Aided By Defense In 16th Save

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman got into a bit of trouble but was bailed out by his defense in his 16th save of the season Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. Chapman walked the first two batters he faced on nine pitches, then induced a groundball, which the Yankee defense used to turn their […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Goes Seven Strong In Win

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu was superb in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Orioles, firing seven innings of one-run ball. His only blemish was a home run in the first inning off the bat of Trey Mancini as he struck out four and walked one in the 100-pitch effort. It was a welcomed […]

Reese McGuire Has Four-Hit Afternoon

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Reese McGuire had his best day at the plate so far this season on Sunday, going 4-for-5 in the team's 7-4 win over the Orioles. Three of his four knocks went for doubles as he scored twice and drove in another pair to help pace the offense to a series victory. […]

Tyler Chatwood Collects First Save

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Tyler Chatwood notched his first save of the season on Sunday by protecting the team's 7-4 lead over the Orioles in the series finale.

Jonathan Loaisiga Records Seventh Victory

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga recorded his seventh win of the season in Sunday's defeat of the Oakland Athletics. Loaisiga came on in relief of Jordan Montgomery with two runners on base and quickly got a pair of groundball outs to put out the fire. He then pitched another scoreless frame and was […]

Jordan Montgomery Allows One Run In No-Decision

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery authored a strong effort despite not factoring into the decision in Sunday's win over the Oakland Athletics. Montgomery allowed one run on three hits with two walks issued over 5 1/3 innings pitched. The southpaw struck out six batters and generated an impressive 17 whiffs on 85 pitches. […]

Michael Pineda Scheduled For Bullpen Session Friday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (forearm) was playing catch on Sunday and is scheduled for a bullpen session on Friday, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Pineda has been out since the beginning of June due to forearm tightness, but before then he was having a decent season as he is 3-4 with […]

Nelson Cruz Leaves Game With Neck Tightness

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (neck) left Sunday's game due to neck tightness, according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Cruz had gone 1-for-2 at the plate before being pinch-hit for by Miguel Sano in the fourth inning. Cruz has been having another nice year at the plate so far, slashing .300/.373/.559 with 15 […]

Washington Nationals outfielder Kyle Schwarber (knee) exited Sunday's contest due to soreness in his knee, according to Maria Torres of The Athletic.

Kevin Plawecki Leaves Sunday With Hamstring Tightness

Boston Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki (hamstring) left Sunday's contest with the Royals due to left hamstring tightness, according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe. Plawecki played the first three innings of the contest before being pinch-hit for by Christian Vazquez in the fourth inning. He should be considered day-to-day for now, but this […]

Christian Arroyo Exits Sunday With Bone Bruise On Shin

Boston Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo (shin) exited Sunday's contest with a bone bruise on his right shin, according to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe. Arroyo was injured in the bottom of the fifth inning on a collision with center fielder Kike Hernandez while trying to make a play on a shallow fly […]

Adam Duvall Has Another Two Homer Game On Saturday

Miami Marlins outfielder Adam Duvall did it again on Saturday, hitting two more home runs and driving in four more runs. Duvall hit two homers and drove in six on Friday, so he's on what you may call a bit of a hot streak. On Saturday, Duvall went 2-for-4 with the two home runs, three […]
