Kevin Pillar Getting The Start Versus Lefty Monday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Kevin Pillar is in the starting lineup Monday versus the Colorado Rockies and left-hander Austin Gomber.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Zack Greinke.

It's been a solid, if unspectacular […]

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is back in left field and will hit second for the Red Birds on Monday against the visiting San Diego Padres and left-hander Blake Snell.
