Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro (Achilles) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He has been sidelined since late May due to left Achilles soreness.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales made his longest start since returning from the injured list on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins, lasting five innings and throwing 91 pitches.

Justin Thomas Looks To Regain Form At Torrey Pines

It has been something of an up-and-down year for the ultra-talented Justin Thomas. He kicked off the year with some off-the-course issues before rebounding to win The Players Championship in March. Thomas has mostly disappointed since that victory at TPC Sawgrass and has failed to log a top-10 result in six subsequent starts. His struggles […]

Dylan Moore Triples Home A Run

Brandon Crawford Hits 15th Homer Of Season Monday

The veteran went 2-for-4 with a single, a two-run home run (his 15th of the season), three RBI, and a strikeout. Crawford has been a huge fantasy value to this point and now owns a .257/.341/.545 slash line […]

Ty France Reaches Twice, Drives In A Run Monday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and an RBI Sunday against the Minnesota Twins.

Jon Rahm Set To Return To Action At Torrey Pines

After a gut-wrenching situation at the Memorial two weeks ago, Jon Rahm is set to return to action in this week's U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. Rahm was the 54-hole leader at Memorial but was forced to withdraw - and basically forfeit a win - due to a pair of positive COVID-19 tests. The Spaniard […]

Anthony Rendon Exits Early Monday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (triceps) was unable to play all the way through Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Zack Littell To Serve As Opener Again

San Francisco Giants pitcher Zack Littell will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He threw a scoreless frame last Wednesday against the Texas Rangers.

Ryan Weathers Comes On In Relief Monday

San Diego Padres pitcher Ryan Weathers tossed three innings of relief Monday against the Colorado Rockies, allowing one earned run on three hits. Weathers earned five consecutive starts prior to this appearance as the Friars moved to a temporary six-man rotation, but reverted to swingman as starter Dinelson Lamet completed just four frames.

Lance McCullers Jr. To Start On Tuesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (shoulder) will rejoin the rotation versus the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. He allowed one run over four innings of work during his rehab start.

Luke Voit Continues Rehab Assignment On Tuesday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) will continue his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday. The slugging first baseman played his first rehab game on Sunday and will stay with the organization throughout the week. Voit is working his way back from a Grade 2 oblique strain.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Brock Stassi has signed a minor league deal with the organization.

Rhys Hoskins Extends Hitless Streak To 28 Plate Appearances

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday. Hoskins will need a map around the bases next time he gets a hit as the big first baseman is now hitless in his last 28 plate appearances and is batting just .238 this season. The […]

Kansas City Royals designated hitter Jorge Soler had one of his best offensive games of the year against the Detroit Tigers on Monday.

Stewart Cink Might Be One To Pass On At The US Open

Stewart Cink has had that one round in the last three tournaments where you just throw your hands up in disgust. Last week, it was a 77 at The Memorial which took him out of contention. The week before was a 76 on the Friday at the PGA Championship combined with a slightly less horrid […]
