Brad Miller Has Four-Hits With Two Runs Wednesday

Kingery is a former top-prospect who […]

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux (wrist), who was placed on the injured list on April 18 with right wrist soreness, is on track to be activated when he's eligible, which would be for next Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

San Francisco Giants second baseman Tommy La Stella launched his first homer of the year on Tuesday, finishing 1-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in the win over the Phillies. While 2020 was by no means a bad year for La Stella, he is looking close to his 2019 All-Star self early on with […]

Wilmer Flores Has Pinch-Hit Homer Tuesday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Wilmer Flores hit a pinch-hit, three-run home run to help lead the Giants to a 10-7 win over the Phillies on Tuesday.

Christian Arroyo Records Three More Hits

Boston Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo collected three more hits in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays, raising his average to an outstanding .357.

Champ or Chump: Zach McKinstry

It seems like the young MLB season isn't producing as many random breakout stars as it usually does. Tyler Naquin had one huge game, but he isn't even playing every day. Akil Baddoo is a nice story for Detroit, but his OBP is below .300 and he's in a platoon. Where is Keven Maas when […]
