Niko Goodrum Starting Wednesday

The Detroit Tigers will start Niko Goodrum at second base Wednesday, giving regular second baseman Dixon Machado a day of rest.

Asdrubal Cabrera Stays Red-Hot

Much like the early stages of the 2017 season, New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera has started off 2018 on a tear. In an 8-6 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, Cabrera finished 2-for-4 with two home runs. Even more impressive was the fact that he went deep from both sides of the […]

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa was added to the 25-man roster following Rougned Odor’s move to the disabled list. Kiner-Falefa has logged time at five different positions in 2017 and 2018, including catcher, second base and third base.

Jose Ramirez Goes Yard on Tuesday Against the Tigers

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez hit a home run on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers, finishing the game 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Ramirez has been in a slump to kick off 2018, as even with Tuesday's nice effort he's still hitting just .132 with a .572 OPS. Perhaps Tuesday's 2-for-3 will […]

Rougned Odor to the DL

The Texas Rangers placed second baseman Rougned Odor on the disabled list with a left hamstring strain. Odor tweaked his leg returning to first base on a fly ball and will take a break to recover. There's no word yet on how long he'll be on the mend, but players without a DL spot will […]

Joe Panik Recieves A Day Off On Tuesday

The San Francisco Giants will rest second baseman Joe Panik on Tuesday as they square off versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Eric Sogard will hit leadoff on Tuesday after subbing in for Orlando Arcia at shortstop. Sogard comes off a 3-for-4 game with two doubles, bumping his batting average up to .222 on the season.

Javier Baez Hits A Pair Of Home Runs Tuesday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez hit his first two home runs of the season Tuesday evening. He finished the game 2-for-4, but also struck out twice. Baez came into the game hitting just .147 and the hope is that the home runs is what Baez needs to get going.

Chicago Cubs utilityman Ben Zobrist will play first base Tuesday with first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) placed on the 10-day disabled list earlier in the day. Zobrist is off to a hot start and is worthy of some run, as he will likely get the majority of the starts with Rizzo on the shelf.

Anthony Rizzo Lands On Disabled List

Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. Rizzo hasn’t played since this last Thursday, so his DL stint should be backdated to Friday. That would allow Rizzo to return next Monday versus the Cardinals. Backup catcher Victor Caratini has […]

Yoan Moncada Picks Up Two Hits Monday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada drew two walks and went 2-for-3 with two singles and two runs scored. He also struck out once.
