Additionally, the minor league HR leader, Franmil Reyes, made his MLB debut this week. He still […]

Carlos Gomez Placed On Disabled List Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday with a groin strain. Gomez was a superstar back in 2013 and 2014.

Brandon Belt Homers In Third Straight Game

Brandon Nimmo Provides Only Mets Offense

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo may not be in the best situation playing-time wise, but at least on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays, he made the most of his one appearance. Pinch hitting in the bottom of the ninth in what finished as a 12-1 route, Nimmo was the lone bright spot for […]

Solid Outing From Curtis Granderson Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Curtis Granderson hasn’t been quite as productive as he was earlier this season, but at least for the last two days he’s gotten back on the right foot. After going hitless in four straight games, Granderson got back on the board a single against the New York Mets on Tuesday and […]

Cody Bellinger Playing Centerfield Wednesday, Matt Kemp Sits

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman and outfielder Cody Bellinger is playing centerfield on Wednesday versus the Marlins and batting fifth. Bellinger is shifting Joc Pederson over to left and Chris Taylor, who sometimes plays center, is firmly entrenched as the Dodgers' everyday shortstop. Matt Kemp is inexplicably sitting. He's dominated lefties and the Dodgers are […]

Josh Reddick Hitting .360 Lifetime Against Angels Garrett Richards

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick will have a favorable matchup when the team takes on Garrett Richards and the Angels Wednesday night.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (thumb) is 7-for-15 on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento. Pence has been sidelined with a thumb sprain since late April.

Ben Zobrist Won’t Start Wednesday Versus Braves

Jason Heyward Resumes Baseball Activities

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (concussion) resumed baseball work on Wednesday. Heyward suffered a concussion on May 6 against the St. Louis Cardinals after crashing into the outfield wall. This activity suggests that Heyward is feeling better. He should be expected to return to the team early next week as long as his concussion symptoms […]

Mitch Moreland Stays In Lineup Wednesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland stays in the lineup against right-hander Trevor Cahill on Wednesday. Manager Alex Cora said on WEEI that the Red Sox lineup is the same as Tuesday.

Adam Jones Is Only Offense As Orioles Fall To Phillies

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones got the Camden Yards crowd going early when he hit a solo shot in the first frame of Wednesday afternoon's game against the Phillies.

Jorge Soler Returns To Lineup

Kansas City Royals outfielder and breakout star Jorge Soler is back in the lineup on Wednesday after missing Tuesday's game with a rib injury.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (back) will sit out again on Wednesday in the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Leonys Martin (hamstring) ran 90-foot sprints on Wednesday, indicating that he's feeling good as his stint on the 10-day disabled list comes to a close.

Brandon Guyer Cranks a First-Inning Grand Slam on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Brandon Guyer smashed a grand slam in the first inning of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. He went hitless in his next four at-bats, but his fantasy owners certainly didn't mind. Guyer is a solid platoon player who could be an asset for savvy owners in deep leagues with daily lineups […]
