Cincinnati Reds second baseman Mike Moustakas and outfielder Nick Senzel have both tested negative for COVID-19, according to teammate Nicholas Castellanos.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit his first homer of the 2020 season during the team's 5-1 win over the Nationals on Tuesday.

David Bote Stays Hot

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote stayed hot with a solo home run as part of a 2-for-3 performance on Tuesday versus the Reds. Bote also drew a walk. Bote has started the last two games for the Cubs and with the way he’s seeing the ball, Bote could remain in the lineup. Bote serves in […]

Jason Kipnis Picks Up Two Hits

Chicago Cubs second baseman Jason Kipnis went 2-for-4 with a run scored and RBI. Kipnis hit a triple in his first at-bat after Reds outfielder Shogo Akiyama lost the ball in the sun and later hit a single. Kipnis is sharing reps at second base with Nico Hoerner, but was the designated hitter Tuesday. The […]

Nico Hoerner Continues To Hit

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner went 1-for-3 with a pair of RBI Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds.

Cesar Hernandez, Roberto Perez Not In Lineup For Second Game

Cleveland Indians second baseman Cesar Hernandez and catcher Roberto Perez are not in the lineup for the second game of a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox. It's merely a rest day for both in light of the 60-game sprint ahead of both players. Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a run scored in the first game […]

Luis Rengifo Activated Off Injured List

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (hamstring) was activated off the 10-day Injured List on Tuesday. It's good timing for the 23-year-old and the Angels, considering starting shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) rolled his ankle while trying to beat out a throw to first base in yesterday's game. Rengifo will be on the bench Tuesday but […]

Rougned Odor Hitting Third In Tuesday's Game

The Texas Rangers have shuffled around their batting order a bit as they attempt to get their struggling offense going. Second baseman Rougned Odor had hit out of the five-spot the previous three games, but now he is moving up to third in the order, following leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo and Danny Santana. Odor, a […]

Kris Bryant Dealing With Elbow Bruise

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (elbow) will sit out on Tuesday with a left elbow bruise. Manager David Ross didn’t seem overly concerned when asked about and he may just miss Tuesday. Replacing Bryant will be infielder David Bote. Bote is coming off of a nice day at the plate on Monday and is […]

Yankees and Orioles To Play On Wednesday And Thursday

With the Phillies and Marlins postponing their games because of a coronavirus outbreak, the Yankees and Orioles will have a two-game series on Wednesday and Thursday this week.

According to Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com, the Miami Marlins 2020 season has been put on pause, "at least temporarily." The Washington Nationals players voted and a majority chose not to travel to Miami to play this weekend.

Shed Long Jr. Collects Second Steal Monday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Shed Long Jr. walked twice, scored a run and stole his second base of the season in Monday's loss to the Astros. Though it's great to see Long steal bases from the leadoff spot in Seattle, it's not something he has been consistent with. Long did steal 21 and 19 bases […]
