Alex Verdugo Homers, Drives In Three Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo had another strong showing Tuesday, going 2-for-5 with a go-ahead three-run home run and two runs scored. The homer, his ninth of the year, came in the top of the eighth inning off Braves reliever Chris Martin. Verdugo is in the midst of perhaps his hottest stretch this year, […]

Bryce Harper Leaves Tuesday's Game With Undisclosed Injury

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper left Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers with an undisclosed injury. Harper appeared to tweak something in his upper body during a plate appearance in the fourth inning and quickly exited the game. While team officials haven't readily announced how severe the injury is, Harper's departure surely has some […]

Adam Engel Hits Second Home Run

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Engel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's victory versus the Tampa Bay Rays. Engel started the year on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring injury, but he has become a regular in the White Sox lineup since being activated on June 6. Engel is more known […]

X-rays on Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant (hand) turned up negative following Tuesday's loss to the New York Mets.

Cody Bellinger Placed On The 10-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left hamstring tightness. He hasn't played since exiting last Friday's contest early with a left hamstring strain.

George Springer Hitless In Tuesday’s Rehab Debut

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quadriceps) started in center field and went 0-for-4 during his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo. As expected, he played five innings in Tuesday's contest. The former Houston Astro has been sidelined since early May due to a right quadriceps strain. It's unclear how many games Springer will play […]

AJ Pollock Absent From Tuesday’s Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Matt Beaty is batting fifth and […]

Mitch Haniger Could Be Back On Wednesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (knee) could return for the series finale against Minnesota on Wednesday. The veteran has been absent since fouling a ball off his left knee on Sunday against the Indians, but it appears as if he will avoid a trip to the 10-day injured list, which is good news. Fantasy managers […]

Kyle Tucker Dealing With Illness

Updating a previous post, Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (illness) is not in the lineup on Tuesday against Texas. While it was initially thought that the 24-year-old was getting the night off to rest, skipper Dusty Baker indicated that he is currently feeling under the weather. It's unfortunate timing, primarily since he was red-hot during […]

Kris Bryant Exits Early On Tuesday Against The Mets

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hand) left Tuesday's game against the New York Mets early after being hit by a pitch in the first inning. Bryant was struck on the left hand by a Taijuan Walker offering in the top of the first, but he initially stayed in the game. He ran the bases and […]

Mike Brosseau Recalled From Triple-A

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Mike Brosseau has been recalled from Triple-A Durham after starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Brosseau was just sent down on Monday so it didn't take long for him to get recalled. He's slashing just .184/.259/.336 with four home runs, 16 RBI, and 17 […]

Darin Ruf Working Through His Running Progression

San Francisco Giants' first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf (hamstring) is still working through his running progression, according to manager Gabe Kapler. The 34-year-old slugger strained his hamstring in late May and there was an expectation that he would be activated from the IL on Thursday or Friday of this week but it sounds like he'll be […]

Pavin Smith Getting A Night Off On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Pavin Smith is sitting out Tuesday's game vs. the San Francisco Giants. This appears to just be a routine day off for the rookie so he should be available off the bench as a pinch-hitter. The 25-year-old has struggled over his last seven games, slashing .200/.259/.241 so a night of rest should […]

Mitch Haniger Out Again On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (knee) is out again on Tuesday vs. the Minnesota Twins. Haniger fouled a ball off his left knee in Sunday's win over the Indians and suffered a bone bruise. He also sat out Monday's contest but it looks like he will avoid a stint on the injured list. Jake Fraley […]

Miami Marlins center fielder Lewis Brinson was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Brinson was placed on the injured list with a finger injury on May 18 and has shuttled between the Triple-A and the big-league club since the beginning of June. Even when Brinson returns to the Marlins […]

Cody Bellinger Not In Lineup On Tuesday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday night. This will be Bellinger's fourth straight game that he has missed while dealing with a hamstring injury, and it looks increasingly likely that he could be heading for a stint on the injured list. The one silver lining is […]

Wil Myers Out Of Tuesday's Lineup

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Colorado Rockies. The 30-year-old is riding a modest four-game hitting streak but has limped to a .517 OPS in June. Overall, Myers has endured a down year, registering a 99 wRC+ with a .244/.322/.383 slash, six homers, four steals and 42 runs-plus-RBI […]

Kyle Tucker Sitting Out Tuesday's Contest

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers.

Luis Arraez Returns To Lineup

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Luis Arraez (shoulder) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners. This will be Arraez's first game in the lineup since May 22, as he was sidelined with a right shoulder strain. He'll start at second base and bat leadoff against Mariners righty Chris Flexen. Arraez has two hits in two […]

Aaron Judge Back In Lineup Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (back) has returned to the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Corey Dickerson To Be Placed On The Injured List

Miami Marlins outfielder Corey Dickerson (undisclosed) is going to be placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The injury "does not look promising" according to manager Don Mattingly, who added that "even the best-case scenario's not great." It sounds like Dickerson could be out for a long time, giving Jesus Sanchez a shot to […]

Taylor Ward Playing Well In June

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward will try to stay in a rhythm at the plate heading into Tuesday's game against the A's. Over his last 12 games, Ward is slashing .282/.378/.487 with four extra-base hits, five runs batted in and nine runs scored. Not much has been expected from Ward from an offensive perspective […]

Trevor Larnach Records Second Straight Multi-Hit Game

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Larnach gave the Twins an early lead in the first inning with an RBI single, then later ripped a 107.3 MPH double, narrowly missing out on a home run. It's his second straight multi-hit […]

Jesus Sanchez Called Up To Join The Marlins

Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Jesus Sanchez will be called up from Triple-A Jacksonville to join the Marlins on Tuesday. Sanchez was destroying Triple-A pitching, putting up a .349/.400/.643 slash line with nine home runs and 28 RBI. He saw 29 plate appearances at the big league level last season, but did not do well at […]

Jake Bauers Hits Game-Winning Homer Monday

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers came through in the bottom of the eighth inning Monday, delivering a solo home run that gave Seattle the lead over the Minnesota Twins for good.

Jake Fraley Gets On Base In All Four PA's Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley led the way to a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins Monday, going 2-for-2 with two walks, a run, and an RBI. Fraley's 14 RBI since June 3 lead the majors in that time, and his .493 OBP, 28.8 percent walk rate, and 14.5 percent chase rate all lead the […]

Chad Pinder Avoids Concussion After HBP In Head

Oakland Athletics outfielder Chad Pinder (head) is not in concussion protocol after being hit in the head with a pitch on Monday.
