Cedric Mullins To Sit Out On Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Ryan McKenna will […]

Hunter Renfroe Scratched On Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) has been scratched ahead of Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The 31-year-old slugger was pulled from the lineup due to left hamstring tightness. The organization believes the injury is day-to-day, so Renfroe shouldn't require a trip to the injured list. In his absence, Harrison Bader will cover center […]

Luis Robert Jr. Sitting On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (quadriceps) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals.
