Albert Pujols Off To Solid June Start

Gary Sanchez, Luke Voit Sitting Out Saturday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez and first baseman Luke Voit are not in the starting lineup on Saturday. Austin Romine is catching and batting ninth, while Kendrys Morales will serve as the designated hitter and hit sixth against Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko.

Yonder Alonso is Absent on Saturday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Yonder Alonso (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Alonso will get a routine day off here, but he's been awful at the plate, so he should be avoided in most formats. Jose Rondon will serve as the designated hitter and bat […]

Mitch Moreland Back To The Injured List

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (quadriceps) was placed on the injured list on Saturday following an early exit from Friday night's game against the Rays.

Ji-Man Choi Hits Sixth Homer

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi hit his sixth homer Friday off of Rick Porcello at Fenway Park to start the scoring in the Rays win. It wasn't long ago that Rays fans and media were calling for Nate Lowe to be brought back up to insert the power that Choi wasn't showing. He's […]

Mitch Moreland Leaves Early Friday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (quadriceps) left the game early on Friday with right quadriceps tightness. Fresh off the injured list on Friday, it might have just been a case of Moreland coming straight back to Boston without a rehab assignment. The left-handed slugger was hitless in two plate appearances before departing. Hopefully […]

Ryon Healy Suffers Setback

Seattle Mariners third baseman Ryon Healy (back) suffered a setback with his back and has been slowed in his return. Healy has been out since May 20 and might just be more of a bench bat when he returns now that Kyle Seager is starting every day at third base. Healy was hitting a weak […]

Justin Smoak Getting a Day Off
