Pete Alonso Slugging Just .379 Through Nine Games

Andrew Vaughn Inserted Into White Sox Lineup On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox rookie first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn will start and bat seventh on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Indians.

San Diego Padres outfielder/first baseman Wil Myers (knee) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

It seems like the veteran outfielder is day-to-day for now, with Jurickson Profar […]

Bobby Dalbec Starting To Heat Up

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec is showing signs of breaking out of a season-opening slump. Dalbec has collected three extra-base hits in the last two games after having none in his first six games, raising his slugging percentage from .095 to .286 over that span. Even more encouraging has been his visible change […]

Through 11 games on the year, he's hit four home runs and a double while tallying eight RBI and seven runs. He's also shown great plate discipline with six walks compared with only six strikeouts.

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Rowdy Tellez went deep for the first time this season during Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the New York Yankees.

Miguel Sano Draws A Pair Of Walks Tuesday

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Red Sox. Sano has been slumping to start the season, so it was nice to see him put together a couple of patient at-bats. The 27-year-old slugger is batting just .086 with a 40 percent strikeout […]

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (meniscus) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a torn right meniscus. He is expected to miss an extended period of time.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Colin Moran is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against lefty Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres. Phillip Evans is shifting over to cover Moran's typical first base post in the game. Moran started each previous game this year for the Pirates. He's never been awful against lefties, […]

Evan White Batting Eighth In Return

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup Tuesday, batting in the eighth spot. After missing three straight games with a hamstring strain, White came on as a defensive replacement Sunday night.

Nate Lowe Driving In Runs Early In The Season

Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe, who was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in the offseason, has been the team's best player so far this year. He looked great through the first two series and has three home runs and 14 RBI, but he also struck out three times in four at-bats on Monday […]
