Alex Blandino Has Reconstructive Knee Surgery

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Alex Blandino (knee) underwent reconstructive surgery on his ACL and MCL in his right knee on Monday and is expected to be out for six to eight months.

Atlanta Braves infield prospect Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday. Infielder Charlie Culberson continues to fill in for Albies in the meantime.

Niko Goodrum Gets Rare Day Off

Detroit Tigers second baseman Niko Goodrum is sitting out Monday night's game at the Kansas City Royals. Ronny Rodriguez is getting the start at second base and hitting second in the lineup.

Scooter Gennett is Sitting Out Monday

Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder Scooter Gennett (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Dixon is not worth adding in […]

Braves Interested In Jonathan Scoop, Kevin Gausman, Dylan Bundy

The Atlanta Braves have shown interest in Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop and starting pitchers Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy.
