Albert Almora Jr. Gets Sent To Club’s Alternate Training Site

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. was optioned off of the active roster Monday to make way for Cameron Maybin, who was acquired from Detroit. Once a highly-regarded prospect, Almora has become primarily a defensive replacement in 2020, receiving just 34 plate appearances in 28 games. While Ian Happ had already claimed full-time center field […]

Seattle Mariners utilityman Dylan Moore appears on track to rejoin the starting lineup this week with the team opening a seven-game homestand against Oakland on Tuesday. Moore, who is in the midst of a breakout 2020 campaign, has been on the IL since Aug. 22 due to a sprained right wrist. Having delivered a .902 […]

Oscar Mercado Gets Recalled Monday, Domingo Santana DFA'd

The Cleveland Indians outfield shuffle continued Monday with Oscar Mercado being recalled from the club’s alternate training site while Domingo Santana was designated for assignment. Mercado’s open to the 2020 campaign has been woeful with a -23 OPS+ in his first 17 games, which earned him his demotion. Santana slashed .157/.298/.286 during his stint with […]

Ryan Braun Sits Monday To Manage Back Issue

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Ryan Braun is not among the starting nine for Monday’s contest against Pittsburgh and right-hander Trevor Williams.

Jay Bruce Rejoins Lineup Monday, Scott Kingery Hits IL

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Jay Bruce was activated from the injured list prior to Monday’s contest against the Nationals and right-hander Erick Fedde.

Aristides Aquino Gets Recalled Monday, Enters Starting Lineup

Cincinnati Reds outfielder/designated hitter Aristides Aquino was brought up prior to Monday’s contest against the Cardinals and right-handed pitcher Dakota Hudson and was inserted directly into the starting lineup, batting sixth.

Cincinnati Acquires Brian Goodwin From Angels

The Cincinnati Reds added another outfield bat during Monday’s Trade Deadline, landing outfielder Brian Goodwin from the Los Angeles Angels. So long as Nick Senzel remains out of the mix, Goodwin is likely to see everyday playing time against right-handed pitching, making him a high-upside short-term season-long addition. Having amassed a 114 OPS+ through his […]

J.D. Martinez Out Of Lineup Monday After Being HBP

Boston Red Sox outfielder/designated hitter J.D. Martinez is not among the club’s starting nine for Monday’s contest versus the Braves and left-hander Max Fried.

Cameron Maybin Lands With Cubs At Trade Deadline

The Chicago Cubs brought aboard outfielder Cameron Maybin from the Detroit Tigers just prior to Monday’s Trade Deadline. Having missed time in 2020 due to injury, Maybin has opened the year just 10-for-41 at the dish, but it’s his 2019 form (.858 OPS) that the Cubs are hoping to bottle. Detroit got back infield prospect […]

Jesse Winker Gets Tagged With One-Game Suspension

Cincinnati Reds outfielder/designated hitter Jesse Winker has been handed down a one-game suspension stemming from a benches-clearing incident with the Cubs on Saturday.

Entering Monday, Winker’s 1.122 […]

A’s-Mariners Have Series Postponed Through Wednesday

The Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners will not play the first two games of their projected series, which was set to begin Tuesday, due to additional contact tracing for Oakland after a positive COVID-19 test.

Toronto Acquires Jonathan Villar From Miami

The Toronto Blue Jays have brought aboard versatile infielder Jonathan Villar in a Trade Deadline deal with the Miami Marlins. After going 0-for-2 during Sunday’s contest against the Mets, Villar is slashing .259/.315/.345 with a Major League-high nine stolen bases through his first 30 games this season. While primarily a second base and shortstop, Villar […]

Miami Acquires Starling Marte From Arizona

The Miami Marlins have procured the services of outfielder Starling Marte, who will be dealt by the Arizona Diamondbacks after just 33 games with the club.
