The 22-year-old […]

Dane Myers Leaves on Monday With Elbow Injury

Miami Marlins outfielder Dane Myers (elbow) left the game on Monday early against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies in the fourth inning due to left-elbow discomfort after being hit by a pitch.

Derek Hill Starts Hitting Progression

Miami Marlins outfielder Derek Hill (wrist) began a hitting progression on Monday, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com.

Kameron Misner Heads to the Bench

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kameron Misner is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Misner will head to the bench after starting in each of the last four games. During that span, Misner went 2-for-15 at the plate, so he could use a day off. Misner has been struggling […]

Colton Cowser Returns to Orioles Lineup

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser is back in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Ryan Pepiot after missing the last three games due to general soreness from crashing into the outfield wall last Thursday against the Detroit Tigers.

Jasson Dominguez Sitting Out in Series Finale

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez will head to the bench for Monday's series opener versus the visiting Los Angeles Angels in the Bronx.

The Washington Nationals announced on Monday that they optioned outfield prospect Robert Hassell III to Triple-A Rochester on Monday and recalled outfield prospect Daylen Lile in a corresponding move.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie homered again on Sunday, the fourth time he's done so in his last seven games, going 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI for Triple-A Iowa. The home run was a 449-foot shot to dead center and extended his current hit streak to 10 games, during which time he's […]

Jesse Winker "Multiple Weeks Away" From Rehab Assignment

New York Mets outfielder Jesse Winker (oblique) is still "multiple weeks away" from going on a minor-league rehab assignment, according to president of baseball operations David Stearns. It's been a slow recovery from Winker, who suffered a Grade 2 strain of his oblique back on May 4 against the St. Louis Cardinals. Because he hasn't […]

Jose Siri Suffers a Setback

The Athletic's Tim Britton writes that New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri (leg) suffered a setback, with the reimaging of his fractured tibia showing that it hasn't healed as much as the team had hoped. Siri has backed off his running and baseball activities and will be re-evaluated in around two weeks. President of baseball […]

Cubs Being Cautious With Kyle Tucker's Finger

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (finger) was absent from the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and manager Craig Counsell acknowledged that Tucker's recent sprained right ring finger remains a consideration.

Giancarlo Stanton to Make Season Debut on Monday

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) will be in the starting lineup to make his 2025 season debut in Monday's series opener in the Bronx against the visiting Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Jose Soriano, league sources tell SNY's Andy Martino. Tendinitis in both of Stanton's elbows has kept him out for the […]

The Atlanta Braves announced on Monday that they reinstated outfielder Stuart Fairchild (finger) from the 10-day injured list and designated outfielder Jose Azocar for assignment in a corresponding move.
