Nationals Will Consider Calling Up Dylan Crews In The Second Half

MASN's Mark Zuckerman thinks the Washington Nationals are at least willing to consider calling outfield prospect Dylan Crews up to the big leagues in the second half of the season after they promoted him to Triple-A Rochester in mid-June.

The Astros have described Tucker's […]

Temper Expectations With Rece Hinds

Despite one of the best opening weeks for a player in recent memory, fantasy managers should temper their expectations in the second half for rookie outfielder Rece Hinds of the Cincinnati Reds. Hinds, 23, burst onto the scene last week after being promoted to the Reds and went 11-for-26 with three doubles, five homers, 11 […]

Tirso Ornelas Added To 40-Man Roster

The San Diego Padres have demoted outfield prospect Tirso Ornelas back to Triple-A El Paso.
