David Peralta Out With Hand Soreness

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta will be out of the lineup on Wednesday with a sore hand. The sore hand seems to be the reason Peralta missed Tuesday's game as well.

Brett Phillips Optioned to Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Brett Phillips was optioned to the Triple-A affiliate Colorado Springs Sky Sox to make room for some pitchers -- Junior Guerra and Jorge Lopez. Hernan Perez will most likely take a spot in the outfield as Lorenzo Cain is not ready to go just yet.

Mike Trout Blasts Fourth Home Run

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout hit his fourth home run of the season in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Rangers. After an ugly start to the season, Trout is back and looking like the superstar that he is. Not that you should have been worried, but it's nice to take a deep breath and […]

Dexter Fowler Not in Wednesday's Starting Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler is not in Wednesday's starting lineup against the Milwaukee Brewers. Harrison Bader will get the start in right field and will be batting seventh.

Hunter Renfroe Smacks Game-Clinching Homer

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe went 1-for-4 and hit a go-ahead three-run home run Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies. Renfroe's long ball in the seventh inning proved to be the game-winning run as the Padres won 5-2. More encouraging, it was off right-handed pitcher Bryan Shaw. Tuesday was a typical boom-or-bust Renfroe game. He […]

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, two runs, one RBI and a walk in the 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Thames has newfound success at the second spot in the batting order, as he now has four home runs in the month of April […]

Colby Rasmus Has MRI On Hip

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colby Rasmus had an MRI on his hip on Tuesday. He'll likely miss five to eight days. He's hoping to be able to stay in baseball, but his early-season stats of .095 in 21 at-bats is not encouraging. Maybe he'll warm up when this eternal East coast winter ends, but Orioles fans […]
