DJ LeMahieu Belts Two Homers Friday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's loss to the Nationals. LeMahieu had superb career numbers against Patrick Corbin coming into the game- and continued that trend, as he homered, singled, then homered again in each of his first three at-bats against the southpaw. The […]

C.J. Cron Scratched From Lineup With Back Tightness

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (back) was scratched from Friday's lineup due to lower back tightness, according to Nick Groke of The Athletic.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White is in the lineup Friday, batting in the eighth spot. White has struggled mightily to start the year, slashing .141/.202/.205.

Max Muncy's Offense May Be Turning A Corner

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy will try and continue to turn his season around as the team will take on the Angels in Anaheim on Friday. Muncy is hitting only .221 this season but is sporting an impressive 31-to-29 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a .422 on-base percentage. Muncy also heads into this series with […]

Miguel Andujar Recalled From Triple-A

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before Friday's game against the Nationals.
