Luis Robert Injured In AFL
Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Luis Robert (leg) hurt his leg while playing for the Glendale Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League on Friday. The good news is that he walked off the field under his own power. Robert is the team's fourth-ranked prospect and No. 44 overall in baseball and was 1-for-3 before […]

Domingo Santana Clutch Off The Bench Friday In NLCS Game 1
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana made his one at-bat count on Friday versus Los Angeles. Pinch-hitting for the pitcher, he would single in two runs to make it 4-1. Santana would then steal second and come around to score. His single was the last pitch that Clayton Kershaw would throw in the game. Santana possesses […]
Hector Rondon, Joe Smith Added To ALCS Roster
Houston Astros relief pitchers Hector Rondon and Joe Smith are being added to the roster for the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox in favor of reliever Will Harris and outfielder Myles Straw. Rondon was solid for the Astros as their primary closer for much of the year, but he lost the job […]
Keon Broxton Removed From NLCS Roster
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Keon Broxton has been removed from the roster for the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers in favor of relief pitcher Xavier Cedeno. Broxton was mainly used as a pinch-runner and defensive replacement in the Division Series, going 1-for-2 at the plate with a solo home run in two games.
Adam Eaton Available Via Trade?
Some believe that Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton is available in a trade now that prospect Victor Robles is ready for a full-time role in this outfield. Both Robles and Juan Soto are the future for the Nats outfield, so Eaton may see a decrease in playing time if he remains in Washington. He hit […]
Dee Gordon Could Be Trade Candidate
Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon could be a trade candidate this winter with Robinson Cano reportedly wanting his second base job back. Gordon and shortstop Jean Segura also got into a fight this year. Gordon is making $13 million annually, however, which would make him "untradeable" in the words of a rival executive. It's […]
Phillies Unlikely To Sign Both Manny Machado, Bryce Harper
The Philadelphia Phillies are unlikely to sign both impending free-agent shortstop/third baseman Manny Machado and outfielder Bryce Harper, but it shouldn't be ruled out. Philadelphia is expected to be the most aggressive team on the free-agent market. They have a strong connection to Machado, but Harper could be the guy they land, as he'd have […]
Braves Won't Give Nick Markakis A Qualifying Offer
The Atlanta Braves don't plan on extending outfielder Nick Markakis a $17.9 million qualifying offer for 2019 despite his excellent season. The 34-year-old had a great season, hitting .297/.366/.440 with 14 home runs, 93 RBI and 78 runs. His age and the fact that he doesn't have much power will keep his upside limited for […]
Christin Stewart, Jordan Zimmermann Undergo Surgery
Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Christin Stewart (abdomen) and starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (abdomen) underwent core muscle surgery in Philadelphia on Thursday. According to Dr. Robert Meyers, both surgeries were a success and both players are expected to be ready for spring training in 2019. Stewart has plenty of upside and should compete for a starting […]
Padres Fire Hitting Coach Matt Stairs
The San Diego Padres fired hitting coach Matt Stairs on Tuesday. The Padres will be searching for their 10th hitting coach in 15 years after another terrible season at the dish. The Padres were last in on-base percentage (.297), tied for second-to-last in average (.235) and struck out 9.4 times per game. Whether the Friars […]
Aaron Hicks Returns; Andrew McCutchen, Miguel Andujar Out
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) is back in the leadoff spot and in center field for Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday against Red Sox starter Rick Porcello. Andrew McCutchen, who has two hits in three games of the series, is on the bench with Brett Gardner in left […]
Miguel Sano Could Play Winter Ball; Byron Buxton Will Not
The Minnesota Twins are hoping that third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) will play winter ball in the Dominican Republic, but outfielder Byron Buxton will not play winter ball. If Sano's knee checks out fine, he should play winter ball as he looks to improve after hitting a disappointing .199/.281/.398 with 13 home runs and 41 […]
Andrew Benintendi Delivers Three RBI In Game 3 Win
Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi was 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs scored, a stolen base, and two walks in a 16-1 win over the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the ALDS.

Avisail Garcia, Kevan Smith Undergo Surgeries
Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia (knee) and catcher Kevan Smith (ankle) both had successful offseason surgeries. Both surgeries weren't believed to be very serious, so both Garcia and Smith should be fully recovered in time for spring training in 2019. Garcia was a big disappointment after being an All-Star in 2016, hitting .236/.281/.438 with […]
Marwin Gonzalez Delivers Another Huge Double In Win
Houston Astros outfielder Marwin Gonzalez came up huge again in Game 3 of the ALDS, hitting a bases-loaded double to spark an offensive explosion in the 11-3 series winner. Gonzalez has been fantastic during the three-game sweep of the Indians, hitting .538 with two doubles and five runs batted in. The versatile Gonzalez is getting […]
George Springer Makes History In Sweep Of Indians
Houston Astros outfielder George Springer went 3-for-6 on Monday with two home runs to help sweep the Indians 11-3 in the ALDS. Springer hit .429 in the series with three home runs and made history with eight home runs in his last nine postseason games. The outfielder is only the fourth player to do that […]
Aaron Hicks Remains Out In Game 3
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Monday against the Red Sox.

Outfielder Tony Kemp is serving as the designated hitter and batting ninth. Catcher Martin Maldonado and first baseman Tyler White will start on the bench. McCann is hitless in […]
Keon Broxton Finishes Off NLDS Game 3 Scoring
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Keon Broxton came off the bench to contribute Sunday versus Colorado. He would spend most of the game on the bench but in his lone at-bat, he would homer in the ninth inning. Broxton only had four HR in 52 games this season but in 2017, he had 15 HR and 21 […]
Aaron Hicks Ready To Return
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) said he feels ready to play in Game 3 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Monday after he was injured in Game 1 on Friday. Brett Gardner started in his place in center field in Game 2 on Saturday. Hicks would be facing […]
David Freese Hitting Third In Game 3
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder David Freese is starting at first base and is hitting third in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against Braves left-handed starter Sean Newcomb on Sunday. That moves Cody Bellinger to center field, while he's hitting sixth. Outfielders Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig will start on the bench. Bellinger […]
Yandy Diaz, Brandon Guyer To Start In Game 3
Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said that infielder Yandy Diaz and outfielder Brandon Guyer will be in the lineup in Game 3 of the American League Division Series against Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel on Monday. Diaz will serve as the designated hitter, while Edwin Encarnacion will handle first base, pushing Yonder Alonso to the bench. […]
David Dahl, Chris Iannetta Sitting In Game 3

Aaron Hicks Gets Good News From MRI
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks' (hamstring) MRI exam came back clean on Saturday. Hicks was held out of the lineup for Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox on Saturday, but it looks like he avoided a serious injury and he could be back in there on Monday in […]

Ender Inciarte To Bat Second In Game 3
Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said outfielder Ender Inciarte will bat second in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against Dodgers starter Walker Buehler on Sunday. Third baseman Johan Camargo, who has hit second in the first two games of the series, is hitless in eight at-bats against two lefty starters. With a […]
Gerardo Parra Picks Up Two Hits
Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra got a rare start on Friday and took full advantage. Parra drilled a pair of singles in his four at-bats, accounting for a third of the team's total hits in the game. Parra's performance definitely supported manager Bud Black's decision to start him over David Dahl, but it's unlikely Parra […]
