San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Oakland Athletics. The 29-year-old is just 4-for-25 (.160 average) since joining the Padres and will take a seat against A's southpaw Sean Manaea despite a .812 OPS versus lefties. Infielder Jake Cronenworth will stake his normal claim at second base while […]

The San Diego Padres designated utilityman Jorge Mateo for assignment Tuesday. The move makes way for reliever Matt Strahm's (knee) activation from the 60-day IL.

Adam Eaton Hitting .244 With Angels

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Adam Eaton's offensive struggles continue to persist heading into the team's matchup against the Rangers on Tuesday.

Max Scherzer to the Dodgers - Fantasy Impact

Max Scherzer made it to southern California by the trade deadline — but it wasn't to the team everyone had expected.

The Seattle Mariners placed second baseman/outfielder Shed Long Jr. (shin) on the 10-day injured list on Monday. Outfielder Jake Fraley was activated from the COVID list in a corresponding move.
