Wilmer Flores' Injury Not Serious

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said infielder Wilmer Flores (knees) has "some arthritis buildup" in his knees. The injury isn't believed to be serious and wouldn't have kept Flores out for more than 10 days if it weren't the end of the regular season. Even on a bad team, Flores didn't see regular playing […]

Jose Fernandez Not in Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez is not in Wednesday's lineup against Yohander Mendez and the Texas Rangers.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini will bat second and play first base versus righty Nathan Eovaldi on Monday.
