Domingo German Listed As Thursday's Starter

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German is slated to take the mound on Thursday against Cleveland.

The 28-year-old reportedly pitched well in […]

Yimi Garcia Saves Wednesday's Game

Miami Marlins closer Yimi Garcia earned a save, his fourth of the season, in Wednesday's win over the Baltimore Orioles.

Anthony Rendon Could Return This Weekend

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) has been sidelined since April 10 due to a left groin strain. However, he is progressing well. On Wednesday, Angels manager Joe Maddon said that he wouldn't rule out the possibility of Rendon returning this weekend against the Houston Astros. It seems just as likely, if not […]

Trevor Rogers Blanks The Orioles On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers was excellent on Wednesday, keeping the Orioles off the board for seven innings. He allowed just four hits and a walk while striking out eight.

Teoscar Hernandez Recovering Nicely

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez, who tested positive for COVID-19, is recovering well. "He's symptom-free and feeling ready for baseball again.

Aaron Hicks Returns To The Lineup On Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday as the team faces Ian Anderson and the Atlanta Braves. He's playing center field and batting seventh.

Wil Myers Heads To The Bench On Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers is absent from Wednesday's starting lineup as the team prepares to face Adrian Houser and the Milwaukee Brewers. This will be the second time Myers is out of the starting lineup over the team's past four games, which is a surprising development given Myers' solid start to the 2021 […]

Nelson Cruz Good To Go For Wednesday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (foot) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Athletics. Cruz was hit by a pitch on his foot in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, though he appears to have shaken off the issue quickly and will slot into his usual spot as the number-three hitter in […]

Gavin Lux On Track To Return Next Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux (wrist), who was placed on the injured list on April 18 with right wrist soreness, is on track to be activated when he's eligible, which would be for next Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

T.J. Ward Announces Retirement

Free-agent safety T.J. Ward announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday after eight years in the league.

Miguel Sano Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Athletics. It makes sense considering Sano is dealing with a tight hamstring- and the Twins have a scheduled off-day on Thursday before their next series. The slugger should be considered day-to-day and will likely rejoin the lineup […]

San Francisco Giants second baseman Tommy La Stella launched his first homer of the year on Tuesday, finishing 1-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in the win over the Phillies. While 2020 was by no means a bad year for La Stella, he is looking close to his 2019 All-Star self early on with […]

John Tavares Strikes Twice In Maple Leafs Loss

Toronto Maple Leafs centerman John Tavares sniped two goals on Tuesday despite a 6-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Toronto is struggling big time and are winless in their last five contests.

Justin Fields Managing Epilepsy

Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields confirmed to NFL teams during the pre-draft process that he is managing epilepsy, a neurological disorder that can cause seizures. However, it has not affected his football career, and doctors think Fields will outgrow it like his other family members have. It's something to watch, but it's unlikely to keep […]
