Trent Grisham Hitless In Return From The Injured List

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham returned from the injured list Saturday and went 0-for-3 with a walk against the New York Mets.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Skye Bolt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Royals on Saturday. Bolt took Wade Davis deep in the eighth inning for his first career homer.

Seattle Mariners utility man Donovan Walton and outfielder Dillon Thomas were sent to Triple-A before Saturday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

Tim Lopes Recalled From Triple-A Nashville

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tim Lopes was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. Lopes will be replacing injured Tyrone Taylor on the team's roster.

Randy Arozarena Sitting Out Of Saturday's Matchup

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game with the Orioles. It appears to be just a day off for the rookie, who has played in 14 straight games and 30 of the team's last 31 games. Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's game, as […]
