Tommy Pham Will Start on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham (groin) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres. He missed two games earlier in the week due to a groin issue. He will draw the start in center field and be in his normal leadoff spot in the lineup. He should be […]

Dee Gordon Will Sit on Thursday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (toe) will not play against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. He is sitting out due to a bruised right toe. He suffered the injury when he fouled a ball off his toe. The Mariners do not expect Gordon to miss more than one game. Gordon should be back […]

David Dahl Hitting Cleanup On Thursday

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl will bat cleanup on Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. With Dahl hitting for a .304 batting average in 46 at-bats this season, it looks like Rockies manager Bud Black is starting to trust Dahl more as his starts continue to increase. He was normally hitting at the two-hole, however, it […]

Carlos Gonzalez To Sit Again On Thursday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez (rest) will sit again for the third time in four nights in the bout against the Milwaukee Brewers. After going 2-for-4 on Wednesday, it looks like the Rockies will opt to use Gonzalez as a bench outfielder. David Dahl will play right field in place of Gonzalez. It looks like […]

Randal Grichuk Hitting Off Tee

With most of the Toronto Blue Jays lineup producing at the plate, outfielder Randal Grichuk has essentially been relegated to an afterthought sitting on the disabled list. Grichuk sprained his PCL in late April, but looks to be progressing nicely. He’s advanced to hitting off a tee, and the next steps will be facing live […]

Domingo Santana Will Rest Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana (rest) will sit out of Thursday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. As part of the move, Christian Yelich will move to right field, Ryan Braun to left field, and Jesus Aguilar at first base. With the Brewers outfield remaining crowded and Aguilar playing quite well, Santana remains the odd one […]

Mitch Haniger Leading Mariners in RBI

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger reached base four times on Wednesday by striking an RBI-double and walking three times. Haniger now leads the team in RBI with 29 for the season and it was a positive night for a player who has cooled off recently. Haniger is hitting only .240 through the first eight games […]

Yasiel Puig Scores Two Runs In Return

Los Angeles Dodgers oufielder Yasiel Puig went 3-for-4 in his return from the disabled list Wednesday and scored two runs in the Dodgers' 6-3 defeat of the Diamondbacks. Puig had been nursing a sore hip after colliding with a foul wall in San Francisco ten days before. He's been off to a terrible start this […]

Adam Eaton Getting Second Opinion On Ankle

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (ankle) has flown to Wisconsin to get a second opinion on his ankle which is still hurting a month after he injured it. That's not good news as the situation had originally been classified as a bone bruise. Eaton's been out since early April and walking around with a boot. […]

Juan Soto Promoted To Double-A

Washington Nationals outfielder prospect Juan Soto has been promoted to the team's Double-A affiliate Harrisburg, lasting only 16 games in High-A.

Rhys Hoskins Returns To Lineup Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Rhys Hoskins will return to the lineup Thursday against the San Francisco Giants following a day of rest. The slugger will be batting cleanup for the Phillies against left-hander Ty Blach. The 25-year old had a sacrifice fly as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's game. Hoskins holds a .907 OPS in […]

Nomar Mazara Slams Two Homers in Walk-Off Win

Outfielder Nomar Mazara hit two home runs, including a 10th inning walk off, in the Texas Rangers 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers. The outing brings the 23-year-old's batting line to .294/.357/.545 with 10 home runs, 22 runs scored, and 28 runs batted in. Mazara has quietly put up a solid season leading into the […]

Big Night For Teoscar Hernandez

When the Toronto Blue Jays called up outfielder Teoscar Hernandez on April 13, he tore up the Major Leagues for his first week or so. While he did quiet down after that, he has been steadily productive and absolutely fantasy-worthy regardless. In a 5-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, though, we saw the […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 6)

Over the past two weeks we have seen three rookie pitchers throw no-hitters through six innings (one of them was a perfect game), and flat-out dominance from some other rookie arms.

Adam Duvall Launches Pinch-Hit, Walk-Off Homer

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Adam Duvall didn't get the start in Wednesday's series finale against the New York Mets, but he certainly made his presence felt.

Aaron Judge Smashes Late Home Run In Another Win

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge had a fantastic game against the Boston Red Sox Wednesday, recording three hits and scoring three runs. His biggest impact, however, unquestionably came in the eighth inning, with Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel on the mound.

San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot went 3-for-4 with an RBI, run scored and stolen base in Wednesday's win against the Washington Nationals.

Christian Yelich Swinging A Hot Bat In May

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 1-for-4 with a run in the 6-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. Yelich has really been swinging a hot bat since May started as he's collected hits in six of the seven games thus far while holding a .370 batting average as well. On top of the […]

Justin Upton Continues Hot Streak Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton went 3-for-5 with another home run in Wednesday's contest against the Rockies. He now has back-to-back games with a home run and has one in three of the last four games as well. Hopefully, this trip to Coors Field has jump started a hot streak for Upton, as his […]

Adam Duvall Crushes Pinch-Hit, Walk-Off Home Run

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Adam Duvall hit a pinch-hit, walk-off home run on Monday, lifting the Reds over the Mets in 10 innings. The blast was Duvall's sixth of the season. Duvall has started off slow this season, batting just .176 and has had to worry about sharing a crowded outfield with Billy Hamilton, Scott Schebler, […]

Ian Desmond Snags Golden Sombrero

Colorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Ian Desmond was saddled with a golden sombrero in the final game against the Angels on Wednesday. Desmond struck out four times in four at-bats as the Rockies fell by a score of eight to nothing. He was booed by the hometown fans because he also left six runners on base. […]

Bryce Harper is Not Starting on Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper (rest) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. This will be his first day off this season, but don't expect him to see many of those. He's currently battling an 0 for 19 slump, so hopefully a night off will help him get his groove back. Moises Sierra will […]
