Teoscar Hernandez to See More Playing Time

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez will reportedly see more playing time down the stretch of the season, according to general manager Ross Atkins. Hernandez has been awful with the bat this season, but the Jays believe he can bounce back. The Jays aren't in playoff contention, so they will likely give Hernandez a long […]

Tommy Pham Expects To Play Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (calf) said he ran on Wednesday and has been cleared to play. He's been dealing with a calf strain but expects to be in the starting lineup on Thursday. "1,000 percent," Pham said. The talented outfielder hasn't played since last Thursday, but it looks like he'll avoid a trip […]

Aaron Hicks Sitting Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is getting the day off Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a routine day off for Hicks, who will be available off the bench. It's been a slow start for the 29-year-old, who has hit just .224 with two home runs and has been striking out at […]

Juan Soto Continues Hot Streak In Nationals Win

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto kept up his torrid pace Wednesday, collecting three hits in the Nationals win over the Chicago White Sox.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Leonys Martin will get the day off Wednesday against Minnesota Twins left-hander Martin Perez. In his place in center field will be rookie outfielder Oscar Mercado.

Hunter Renfroe Not In Starting Lineup Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe is getting the day off Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Renfroe has become a more than useful fantasy contributor so far this season, smacking 17 bombs over 55 games.

Teoscar Hernandez Recalled

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has been recalled to the big league club on Wednesday, with outfielder Jonathan Davis optioned.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Derek Dietrich and outfielder Jesse Winker are batting fourth and fifth, respectively, on Wednesday against right-handed St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson.

Adam Jones Dealing With Cramps

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the team is hopeful that outfielder Adam Jones (hamstring) was just dealing with cramps when he was pulled from the game early on Tuesday with a tight hamstring.
