Jurickson Profar Removed During Thursday's Game

San Diego Padres infielder/outfielder Jurickson Profar was removed from the game on Thursday after a scary collision. Profar was accidentally hit directly in the jaw by teammate C.J. Abrams.

Anthony Santander Doubles In Thursday's Contest

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels with a double and a run scored. The night brought his line up to .239/.323/.425 with 15 HRs, 41 RBI, 36 runs, and no stolen bases over 77 games. Santander's power is legitimate, as he hit a combined 29 […]

George Springer Out Again Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. Springer will start on the bench for the second straight game, but there hasn't been any word that he's injured.

Chicago White Sox first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn (illness) is feeling under the weather on Thursday, which is why he's out of the starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers, according to manager Tony La Russa.

M's Hope To Have Mitch Haniger, Kyle Lewis Back In July

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said he hopes to have outfielders Mitch Haniger (ankle) and Kyle Lewis (concussion) back in the lineup by the end of July.

Marcell Ozuna Homers, Continues Heating Up

Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Marcell Ozuna added another home run Wednesday night, his 17th of the season. Ozuna has now homered three times in his last four games and has a modest five-game hitting streak going. Ozuna's disappointing .708 OPS surely has fantasy managers in fits, but he does have a chance to eclipse his […]

Eddie Rosario Hits First Homer

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario hit his first home run of the season Wednesday night, smacking a solo shot off Miles Mikolas in the fifth inning of a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Rosario was 1-for-2 before being removed for a pinch hitter. It appears that Rosario will be used as a platoon […]

Hunter Dozier Homers, Drives In Three

Andrew Benintendi Steals A Base, Scores Thrice

Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi continued to build his trade value Wednesday night, going 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, three runs scored, an RBI, and a stolen base in a 7-4 win over the Houston Astros.

Cody Bellinger Steals A Base, Adds Three Hits

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger led the way offensively in a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored.

Mark Canha And The Mets Come Up Short
