Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer in a win over the Tigers on Thursday.

San Francisco Giants second baseman Wilmer Flores (hamstring) was removed from Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers due to left hamstring tightness.

Matt Duffy Scratched On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Duffy (neck) has been scratched from Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He is dealing with neck stiffness, so hopefully it's just a day-to-day type of issue.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe isn't in the lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Boston Red Sox and left-handed starter Chris Sale.

The Detroit Tigers activated infielder Niko Goodrum (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The 29-year-old is batting .224 with a .304 on-base percentage, six home runs, and 12 stolen bases so far this season. Goodrum can certainly contribute with some stolen bases, but he's also striking out 35.4% of the time, which limits […]

Abraham Toro Delivers Dramatic Grand Slam

Seattle Mariners infielder Abraham Toro provided all four runs Tuesday's game had to offer on one swing, a grand slam off of Houston Astros relief pitcher Kendall Graveman in the eighth inning.
