Adbert Alzolay Scheduled To Start Saturday

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said on Wednesday that starting pitcher Adbert Alzolay is scheduled to start on Saturday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Alzolay pitched well in his last start versus the Brewers, but the Cubs bullpen came in and hurt his stat line. Alzolay was then sent down to the teams alternative training site. […]

Nino Niederreiter Tallies Two Points On Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes forward Nino Niederreiter registered a goal and added a primary assist as his team picked up a 4-1 road victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.

Julian Merryweather Likely Out Longer

The Toronto Blue Jays are still waiting for more information on relief pitcher Julian Merryweather's left oblique strain, and his injury is expected to keep him out of action beyond his 10-day injured list stint. Merryweather is eligible to come off the injured list on Saturday, April 24, but it doesn't look as though that'll […]

Jesus Aguilar Drives In Two Runs On Wednesday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar had a productive day in Wednesday's win over the Baltimore Orioles, going 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI. He also scored a run of his own and drew a walk. Aguilar's power has yet to show up as he hasn't hit a home run yet this season, but […]

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 Yankees sent German down to their alternate site, presumably to work on some things after having a rough outing in his first start- two home runs and three earned runs allowed. 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. Garcia was called upon for one of the easier saves of the season, coming into the ninth inning of a 3-0 game. He made it look even easier than that though, tossing just 10 pitches […]

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. Rogers only threw 82 pitches (60 strikes), but he was wisely removed after the seventh inning and the Marlins bullpen held on to […]

Tyler Chatwood Should Be Back Soon

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Tyler Chatwood (triceps) "should be back, too, right away" when his 10-day injured list stint is up, according to pitching coach Pete Walker.

Joc Pederson Sitting Against Lefty On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson is heading to the bench for Wednesday's game against lefty David Peterson and the New York Mets.

Jordan Romano's Injury Isn't Serious

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jordan Romano (arm) threw a side session on Sunday, and pitching coach Pete Walker hopes to have him back as soon as his 10-day injured list stint is up.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Remains Out Of Lineup On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (abdomen) will miss his second-straight game as he nurses an abdominal injury.

Nate Pearson Getting Closer To A Return

Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Nate Pearson (groin) was scheduled to throw a live batting practice session on Tuesday as he builds back up from a right adductor strain he suffered late in spring training, according to pitching coach Pete Walker.

Clint Frazier Batting Ninth In Wednesday's Game

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He is starting in left field and batting ninth.

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.

Yadier Molina Sitting On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals.

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 […]
