Eric Thames Drills Sixth Home Run In Eight Starts

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in the 2-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Just like Tuesday's game, the Brewers beat the Reds 2-0 and a Thames two-run home run was the only offense that the team could muster. Thames now has a .995 OPS […]

Eloy Jimenez To Report To Double-A Thursday

Chicago White Sox top prospect, outfielder Eloy Jimenez, will report to Double-A Birmingham on Thursday, the club has reported. Jimenez is one of the best offensive prospects in the game but is getting a late start to the season after a pectoral injury. Jimenez has a strong chance to force his way into the big […]

Ben Gamel Expected to Rejoin Mariners on Wednesday

After suffering a strained right oblique prior to the season, it appears as if Seattle Mariners outfielder Ben Gamel is finally ready to join the team. With Ichiro Suzuki currently playing right field in Seattle, a Gamel return would likely see him regain the starting role with Suzuki shifting to the bench. Last season, Gamel […]

Byron Buxton Out With Migraine Again On Wednesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (migraine) will miss a second consecutive game after developing a migraine on Tuesday. The Twins are in Puerto Rico taking on the Cleveland Indians in a two-game series but will have to do so without their Gold Glove center fielder. Manager Paul Molitor told reporters that there are currently no […]

Delino DeShields to Begin Rehab Thursday

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields will head to Double-A Frisco to rehab on Thursday and Friday.

Michael Conforto Back In Lineup

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto is back in the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale with the Washington Nationals.

David Dahl Returns to Triple-A Lineup

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (illness) returned to the lineup for Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday. He had been on the disabled list with an illness for the last week.

Avisail Garcia Sitting Wednesday Versus Athletics

Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia will rest Wednesday versus the Oakland Athletics. Garcia has struggled this year and is hitting .233 with just one home run and three RBI on the season.

Braves Sign Jose Bautista To One-Year Minors Deal

Free-agent outfielder Jose Bautista is not finished with baseball. The Atlanta Braves signed him to a one-year minor league contract and said that he would be playing his former position, third base. Whether we'll actually see Joey Bats in the big leagues is another question, since he's going to be playing extended spring training games […]

Jesse Winker Back In Leadoff Spot; Billy Hamilton Batting Ninth

The Cincinnati Reds went back to a familiar configuration for their lineup in Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. A day after batting second, outfielder Jesse Winker is back in the leadoff spot, while yesterday's leadoff man, Billy Hamilton, is batting ninth. Hamilton mostly held down the leadoff spot while Winker was sidelined over the […]

Renato Nunez Plays Third Base

Texas Rangers outfielder Renato Nunez is in the Texas starting lineup for the second time in four days. He is playing third base Wednesday, allowing Adrian Beltre to have a game as the designated hitter. Nunez went 1-for-4 with one strikeout in his Rangers debut. If he can be competent at the plate, he could […]

Jurickson Profar Remains Out Wednesday

Texas Rangers infielder Jurickson Profar remains out of the lineup Wednesday after suffering a concussion Monday. Profar has been placed in the concussion protocol but has not gone on the 7-day disabled list. The Rangers are continuing with Isiah Kiner-Falefa at shortstop. Shortstop is one of the positions Kiner-Falefa has the least experience at, so […]

Tommy Pham Will Undergo Tests on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham will undergo tests on his injured right groin on Wednesday. Pham was hurt in the ninth inning of Tuesday's game, but with no bench players left, Pham was forced to finish out the game. Top outfield prospect Tyler O'Neill is being called up before Thursday's game, likely to serve […]

Ryan Braun Sitting Unexpectedly Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun has been forced out of the lineup Wednesday due to his calf injury flaring up. Indications are that Braun was due to be in the lineup for a second straight day had it not been for the injury. This will be the third day in four games that Braun has […]

Cardinals to Promote Tyler O'Neill

The St. Louis Cardinals will promote outfield prospect Tyler O'Neill from Triple-A Memphis before Thursday's game. O'Neill is the No. 4 prospect in the Cardinals system, but he will likely be up just to provide depth this time around. With Tommy Pham dealing with a potential groin injury, O'Neill gives the Cardinals another starting option […]

Scott Schebler Continues Rehab Stint; Should Be Activated By Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler (elbow) is expected to play for Double-A Pensacola again on Thursday and should be reinstated from the 10-day disabled list on Friday. Schebler has been sidelined for over two weeks after he was hit on the elbow by a pitch, resulting in an ulnar collateral ligament sprain. Schebler lost feeling […]

Max Moroff, David Freese, Sean Rodriguez Playing Wednesday

The Pittsburgh Pirates are making use of their hitting depth on Wednesday. Max Moroff will make his first appearance at second base since being called up to the majors. David Freese and Sean Rodriguez also get starts against the left-handed Kyle Freeland. Ironically, Freese has actually been better when facing right-handed pitchers this season, but […]

Corey Dickerson and Colin Moran Sitting Wednesday

Both Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson and third baseman Colin Moran are out of the Pittsburgh Pirates lineup Wednesday. Both are off to good starts this season. Dickerson is hitting .328 with one home run and two steals in 65 plate appearances. Moran is hitting .298 and also has one home run in 53 plate appearances. With […]

Gregory Polanco Sitting For Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates are taking advantage of an early start on Wednesday to get outfielder Gregory Polanco a day off. Polanco is hitting just .197 this season but has five home runs and 15 RBI. Polanco is on pace to hit 50 HRs and .050 lower than he has in the last three seasons. Going forward, […]

Michael Brantley Collects Three Hits on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley had a strong game on Tuesday, finishing 3-for-5 with a home run and a double. Brantley is hitting an impressive .346 with a .931 OPS on the young season. He's too injury-prone to project for another 40-double, 20-home run season, but he'll have strong games like this one as long […]

Mookie Betts Has Monster Game

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts hit three solo home runs in a 10-1 win against the Angels Tuesday. He set the tone from the first at-bat by hitting a homer off Shohei Ohtani.

Randal Grichuk’s Batting Average Climbs Above .100

It’s been a slow start to the Toronto Blue Jays career of outfielder Randal Grichuk, to say the least. Entering the team’s doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday, Grichuk was hitting .071 across 42 at-bats to start the season. That all changed when the real Grichuk stood up in the first game of […]

Matt Duffy To The DL

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy has been placed on the 10-day disabled list for his hamstring injury. Outfielder Kevin Kiermaier was moved to the 60-day DL and outfielder Brandon Snyder was called up. Duffy might have been able to get back onto the field quicker than the 10 days, but the Rays were […]

Rhys Hoskins Delivers In Extras

After nine innings Tuesday at SunTrust Park between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves, the score was tied at one run each. In the top of the 10th inning, however, two men reached base before two outs put them on the verge of wasting a golden chance. Up to the plate, however, stepped up outfielder Rhys […]

Giancarlo Stanton Could Be Dropped In Order

As his struggles persist nearly a month into this 2018 regular season, New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton could be dropped in the lineup. Manager Aaron Boone expressed the possibility of the move after Tuesday’s disappointing 9-1 defeat in the Bronx to the lowly Miami Marlins. The reigning National League MVP went hitless in four plate […]
