Ramon Urias Was Available Off Bench Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (concussion), who was hit in the helmet by a 96.2 mph sinker on Saturday, cleared concussion protocol and was available to come off the bench in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Nationals, said manager Brandon Hyde. While he did not play, it is good news that he was ready to […]

Mookie Betts May Play Shortstop Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that second baseman/outfielder Mookie Betts (paternity list) may start at shortstop when he returns from the paternity list on Wednesday. The Dodgers have been struggling as a whole and both Chris Taylor (side) and Miguel Rojas (torso) are dealing with injuries, so Roberts may have to get […]

Christian Arroyo Unlikely To Play In Series Against Twins

It seems as though Boston Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo (hamstring) is unlikely to play in the current series against the Minnesota Twins due to a tight hamstring. With Arroyo out on Tuesday, Enrique Hernandez got the start at the keystone on Tuesday against the Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray for the first time […]

A's Calling Up Jordan Diaz

The Oakland Athletics are calling up No. 4 prospect Jordan Diaz, according to a source. Diaz is expected to join the team on Wednesday. The A's probably aren't calling up Diaz to the big leagues just to sit him on the bench, so he's worth a look in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues at the corner-infield […]

Michael Massey Returns To Lineup Tuesday

Kansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey is back in Tuesday's starting lineup after sitting out Monday's contest versus the Texas Rangers. In short, it's been an absolute disaster for Massey to begin the 2023 campaign. The 25-year-old is just 4-for-43 with a double across 45 trips to the plate. He's also yet to draw […]

Nico Hoerner Grabs MLB Stolen Base Lead

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner stole his ninth base of the season on Monday, which puts him at the top of the stolen base leaderboard early in the season. Hoerner and his Cubs teammates went off against the A's on Monday, and he collected two hits, three runs, and an RBI in addition to […]

Reviewing the publicly-available Statcast data for Triple-A and the Florida State League in Single-A, there are plenty of hitters and pitchers that stand out this week across minor league baseball.

Tyler Freeman Staying Hot In Triple-A

Cleveland Guardians infield prospect Tyler Freeman is a 23-year-old second baseman who made his MLB debut last season but opened 2023 in the minors. He has looked great with Triple-A Columbus, showing a clear tendency to put the ball in play and drive in runs. His walk and strikeout rates have been solid, and he's […]

Marcus Semien Smacks Grand Slam In Rangers Victory

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien unloaded a grand slam in a 9-1 win over Houston on Sunday. Semien went 2-for-5 in the contest. The 32-year-old is batting lead-off, and he currently has a .250 batting average with two home runs, 12 RBI, and four doubles in the first month of the season. He's only […]

Nick Solak Designated For Assignment

Chicago White Sox infielder/outfielder Nick Solak has been designated for assignment. The White Sox just claimed Solak off waivers from the Mariners several days ago but had to clear up some roster space due to injuries. If he passes through waivers then he would serve as organizational depth for the White Sox. He hit with […]

Hanser Alberto Lands On The IL

Chicago White Sox infielder Hanser Alberto (quad) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right quad. Alberto was slashing a subpar .211/.211/.368 with one home run and four RBI over 19 at-bats this season. Adam Haseley has been recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Edouard Julien Hitting Leadoff Against Yankees

Minnesota Twins rookie second baseman Edouard Julien is getting the nod in the leadoff spot for the Twins on Sunday against the New York Yankees and right-hander Gerrit Cole.
