Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo connected on his 16th home run of the season versus the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

Akil Baddoo Steals A Base And Scores Game-Winning Run

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo scored the game-winning run in the 10th inning of Sunday's game against the Houston Astros.

Aaron Judge Hits 17th Homer Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Boston Red Sox.

Max Kepler Not In Starting Lineup For Second Straight Game

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler is not in the starting lineup for the second game in a row on Sunday. There's no word of any injury right now, so it appears it's just another day off for Kepler, who has struggled since coming off the injured list. Over his last seven games, Kepler is slashing […]

Mets Hope To Activate Brandon Nimmo On Tuesday

New York Mets manager Luis Rojas said the team is hoping to activate outfielder Brandon Nimmo (finger) from the injured list on Tuesday.

Cody Bellinger Comes Up Big In Victory

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger played the role of hero in Saturday's victory versus the Chicago Cubs.
