AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 24

Brandon Lowe With A Key Homer Sunday Versus The Orioles

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe struck the game-winning blow Sunday versus Baltimore.

He […]

The Toronto Blue Jays activated infielder Yangervis Solarte (oblique) from the 10-day disabled list on Sunday, and he will play second base and hit seventh against Indians starter Mike Clevinger.
