Domingo Santana Placed on Injured List

Seattle Mariners outfielder Domingo Santana (elbow) has been placed on the injured list with right elbow inflammation, according to The Athletics' Corey Brock. Santana has been dealing with a sore elbow for some time, as he is hitting .131 with a .490 OPS since the All-Star break. In a corresponding move, the Mariners have called up […]

Harrison Bader Recalled by St. Louis

The St. Louis Cardinals announced on Tuesday that they have recalled outfielder Harrison Bader from Triple-A Memphis and optioned outfielder Randy Arozarena to Triple-A. In 90 games with St. Louis this year, Bader had struggled at the plate with a .195 average and .648 OPS, but since joining Memphis at the end of July he […]

Nomar Mazara Placed on IL with Oblique Strain

After exiting Monday's game early, Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara (oblique) has been placed on the injured list with an oblique strain, according to Dallas Morning News writer Evan Grant. Shin-Soo Choo and Hunter Pence will likely see a slight increase in playing time with Mazara out. In a corresponding move, the Rangers have called up […]

Shin-Soo Choo Not in Lineup Against Angels in Game 1

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo is not in the starting lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Angels. Much like teammate Elvis Andrus, Choo is likely just sitting out the early game and should be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

Alex Gordon Is Hitting .091 In August

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon found the fountain of youth for a little while early in the year, but that is nothing but a distant memory now. After a 1-for-4 day on Monday, Gordon is now just 5-for-55 in the month of August with a single home run. That's the worst batting average in […]

Whit Merrifield's Average Drops Under .300

Kansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield drove in a run with a single on Monday to help his team top the Orioles, but it wasn't enough to keep his batting average at the .300 plateau. Merrifield has gone 2-for-17 over the last four games to drop his batting average following his most recent nine-game […]

Mike Trout One Home Run Shy Of Career High

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 2-for-6 with one run scored in the Angels 8-7 loss in 11 innings to the Rangers. Trout is putting together another MVP-campaign and is already only one home run shy of his career-best of 41. Trout is currently slashing .321/.472/.696 in the month of August and has been […]

Kole Calhoun Hitting Only .220 In August

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun went 1-for-5 with one RBI in the Angels loss to the Rangers in extra innings Monday. Calhoun is coming off the heels of hitting his career-high 27th home run of the season but, once again, the veteran has backed up a strong month with a dud. After slashing .272/.343/.576 […]

Is Justin Upton Turning The Corner?

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs batted in as the Angels lost to the Rangers in extra innings on Monday. Upton now has hits in each of his last three games and has two home runs and 10 runs batted in over his last six games. This […]

Mitch Haniger Slowed By Back

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (back) was still experiencing back soreness on Monday and wasn't with Triple-A Tacoma. Manager Scott Servais said that Haniger's status is like being at the onset of spring training, so it's fair to wonder if Haniger will even play in the big leagues again this year. The 2018 breakout has […]

Mariners Calling Up Jake Fraley

The Seattle Mariners are calling up outfield prospect Jake Fraley, their No. 8 prospect per MLB Pipeline, according to a source. The 24-year-old is expected to be part of the team's long-term future in the outfield, and he should get a chance to play regularly right off the bat. Due to injuries to Mitch Haniger, […]

Ian Desmond Gets Day Off on Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Desmond will get a routine rest day here, but should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Garrett Hampson will cover center field and bat eighth versus righty Zac Gallen. Hampson doesn't have enough upside to […]

Ryan Braun is Out Again on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Braun sat out on Sunday due to rest, but he's sitting out again on Monday as well. It's unclear if he's dealing with an injury or the Brewers just want to shake up their outfield. […]

Billy Hamilton Claimed by Braves

Kansas City Royals outfielder Billy Hamilton has been claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves on Monday. He was designated for assignment by KC after hitting .211/.275/.269 with the team. The Braves have lost two outfielders in just a few short weeks, so Hamilton provides depth. His speed makes his a useful fantasy option, but […]

Jose Peraza Draws Start in Outfield

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jose Peraza is moving to the outfielder for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Peraza normally plays second base for Cincinnati, but is shifting to the outfield against the left-handed starter. Peraza will play left field and bat fifth versus lefty Eric Lauer. Peraza is 0-for-8 through his last seven games, […]

Max Kepler is Out of the Lineup Monday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (illness) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Kepler left Sunday's game due to illness, so that could be why he's sidelined again. Marwin Gonzalez will cover right field and bat sixth versus righty Ivan Nova. Gonzalez has been incredible with the bat […]

Mallex Smith is Back in the Lineup

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mallex Smith is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Smith was benched for a few games after making multiple mistakes on the while running the bases. He's starting in right field and batting seventh versus lefty Brendan McKay. Smith has been able to get a […]

Lorenzo Cain Remains Out on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (oblique) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Cain will miss his third straight game on Monday due to an oblique issue. The Brewers are hopeful that Cain can avoid the injured list and get back into the lineup this week. Trent Grisham […]

Tyler O'Neill Takes Batting Practice Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (wrist) is scheduled to take batting practice before Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. O'Neill has been sidelined basically all month due to a strained left wrist. He's expected to begin a rehab assignment either Tuesday or Wednesday. O'Neill should be back in the Cardinals' lineup before the end […]

Nick Senzel Scratched on Monday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (elbow) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. He was hit by a pitch during Sunday's contest and is still dealing with a sore elbow. However, he's listed as day-to-day, so he shouldn't land on the injured list. Phillip Ervin will bat […]

Ketel Marte Back in the Lineup Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks center fielder Ketel Marte (back) will return to the lineup on Monday against the Colorado Rockies. Marte had missed the previous two games with the injury but is healthy enough to slot back into the No. 2 spot in the D-backs order. The 25-year-old faces a favorable matchup against Rockies starter Chi Chi […]

Charlie Blackmon Homers In Second Straight

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon launched his second home run of the weekend to help Colorado snag another victory from the Marlins on Sunday.
