Brett Phillips Makes First Start Of The Season Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brett Phillips will make his first start of the season Wednesday afternoon against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore.

Yordan Alvarez Takes A Day Off

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The 25-year-old left-handed slugger dealt with some left hand soreness in spring training, but it […]

Joey Gallo Set To Start Rehab Assignment

Minnesota Twins first baseman/outfielder Joey Gallo (side) is feeling good and is heading to Triple-A St. Paul to get at-bats before rejoining the Twins when he's eligible to come off the 10-day injured list.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is batting leadoff for the second consecutive game on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. He'll face Sonny Gray and the Minnesota Twins.

The 31-year-old hasn't played since being pulled out of Sunday's contest due to left hamstring soreness. The team hasn't placed Garcia on the injured list yet, so that's a good sign. Hopefully, Garcia only needs a […]

Ramon Laureano Sitting Out Tuesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The right-handed slugger will get a well deserved day off after playing in the first 10 games to begin the season. He's hitting .250 with two home runs and four RBI in that span. Brent Rooker […]

Andrew McCutchen Resting On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is starting in center field and hitting ninth on Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics and left-hander Kyle Muller.

Brandon Marsh Absent From Tuesday's Starting Lineup

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Miami Marlins and left-hander Jesus Luzardo.
