Alex Bregman's Workout Stalled By Late Test Results

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman was unable to participate in the team's workout on Wednesday because his COVID-19 test results were delayed. The situation is being described as a "snafu" and team sources have declared that Bregman is "fine." But this is the second such test that has delayed an Astros player from joining […]

Ronald Guzman Working Out Wednesday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman is working out with the team on Wednesday. It looks like Guzman's recent absence at summer camp was just the result of delayed testing results. In his two big league seasons with the Rangers, Guzman has hit a weak .229/.307/.415 with 26 home runs and 94 RBI in 643 […]

Giants Add Alexander Canario, Others To Player Pool

The San Francisco Giants announced Wednesday that outfielder Alexander Canario, left-handed pitcher Caleb Barager, and right-handed pitcher Sam Wolff have been added to the team's player pool for summer camp, bringing their total to 59 players.

Chris Bassitt Building Up Arm Strength

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Chris Bassitt said he is trying to build his arm strength up to be a starter but is still behind the other starting pitchers.

Tyler Mahle Set For Long-Relief Role

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that starting pitcher Tyler Mahle will be set up as a piggyback or long-relief option in the back end of the starting rotation. Pitchers Sonny Gray, Luis Castillo, Trevor Bauer, Wade Miley and Anthony DeSclafani make up the five-man rotation, so Mahle will begin the 2020 season as the […]

Brandon Marsh Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brandon Marsh was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Details are unknown, but typically teams have been very protective of players that have tested positive for COVID-19 or are still in the quarantine period. The 2016 second-round pick had been praised as a prospect coming into spring training even […]

Jonathan Villar Likely To Play Multiple Positions

Miami Marlins outfielder/infielder Jonathan Villar is "bracing" to play multiple positions this season, according to Marlins writer Joe Frisaro. Villar has been working in centerfield, shortstop, and second base so far in summer camp, and the Marlins are also considering using him as designated hitter for some games. Villar may not end up with a […]

Tom Murphy Returns To The Field

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy (foot) was back on the field for the full morning workout on Tuesday after he sat out on Monday with a bruised left foot from a ball that he fouled off himself on Sunday. Murphy should be just fine and should see the majority of starts behind the plate this […]

Andrew Vaughn Getting Work At Third Base

Chicago White Sox first base prospect Andrew Vaughn has been getting practice at third base. Manager Rick Renteria said "He has all the makings of being able to play that position." A move to third base would likely allow Vaughn to get to the big leagues significantly faster, because Jose Abreu is firm at first […]

Charlie Morton Expects To Go 4-5 Innings In First Start

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Charlie Morton said that he expects to be able to go four or five innings in his first start of the season.

Miles Mikolas Faces Hitters

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (forearm) faced hitters on Tuesday night at the team's summer camp, making swift work of his two innings.

Carlos Martinez Could Pitch In Relief Role

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez, who was cleared to take part in summer camp on Tuesday, looks likely to pitch out of the bullpen in 2020. Martinez took his COVID-19 test on Friday but didn't have the results needed to participate until Tuesday. The veteran right-hander spent all winter and this spring trying to […]

Mike Green Expected To Be Ready For Play-In Round

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Mike Green (knee) will be good to go heading into the team's play-in matchup with the Chicago Blackhawks.

While the 34-year-old used to be a fantasy stalwart, his days of relevance are […]
