Jake Fraley Suffers Ankle Sprain On Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (ankle) left Friday's game early against the hosting division-rival Milwaukee Brewers with a left-ankle sprain, according to the team.

Riley Greene To Run Bases On Sunday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (hamstring) is set to run the bases on Sunday as part of his recovery from a right-hamstring strain. This will mark the first time Greene has ran the bases since he was placed on the 10-day IL on July 26th. In conjunction with running, Greene has also been completing on-field […]

Matt Vierling Not Playing On Friday

Detroit Tigers infielder/outfielder Matt Vierling (back) is absent from the team's starting lineup on Friday versus the hosting San Francisco Giants. Back spasms forced Vierling from Thursday's series finale against the Seattle Mariners early, so it shouldn't come as a big surprise that he's being held out of the series opener in San Francisco. Fantasy […]

Nick Morabito Swipes 38th Bag At High-A

New York Mets outfield prospect Nick Morabito continued to show his elite speed on Thursday evening as he stole his 37th and 38th bags since joining High-A. Morabito opened the season at Single-A, where he swiped 11 bags across a 24-game stint, bringing him to a current season total of 49 bags. In the batter's […]

Mookie Betts To Play Right Field Upon His Return

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that infielder Mookie Betts (hand) will play right field when he returns from the injured list on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Mike Trout Has Successful Knee Surgery

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) had successful left-knee surgery on his birthday on Wednesday, according to the team.

Jace Bohrofen Stays Hot With Four-Hit Game

Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Jace Bohrofen went 4-for-5 with a double, home run, and six RBI on Thursday evening. This extended his current hitting streak to four games.

Byron Buxton Sitting During Nightcap

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is absent from the starting lineup ahead of the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Absent On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This looks to be nothing more than a routine rest day after Gurriel collected two hits on Thursday. In his place, Jake McCarthy will cover left field and bat second against right-hander Zack Wheeler. Fantasy […]

Cody Bellinger Returning On Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The lefty slugger was held out of Wednesday's contest due to a minor hamstring issue. It seems that two days of rest has helped as Bellinger will serve as the designated hitter and bat […]

Austin Hays Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Austin Hays (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 8) with a left-hamstring strain on Friday and recalled outfielder Cal Stevenson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Taylor Ward Back From Paternity Leave

The Los Angeles Angels reinstated outfielder Taylor Ward from the paternity list on Friday and optioned third baseman Charles Leblanc to the minors in a corresponding move. The Angels haven't released their starting lineup yet for Friday's series opener in D.C. against the hosting Washington Nationals, but Ward should return to his starting duties in […]
