Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Cahill (calf) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Thursday.

Ian Kennedy Placed On The Injured List

Texas Rangers closer Ian Kennedy (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a mild left hamstring strain on Wednesday.

Taylor Rogers Saddled With Third Loss

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers had a rough outing in Tuesday's loss to the New York Yankees. Rogers allowed two runs on three hits in his one inning of work. The southpaw allowed a pair of hitters to reach base but was then dealt a bad hand by his defense, which committed two errors. […]

Scott Alexander Could Be Out Until July

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Scott Alexander (shoulder) could very well miss another month of action. The lefty reliever has been sidelined since early May due to inflammation in his shoulder. The Dodgers are expected to activate Tony Gonsolin on Wednesday, so Alexander might be moved to the 60-day injured list. That would create a […]

Ian Kennedy Sat Out Tuesday As Precaution

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Ian Kennedy (hamstring) was unavailable out of the bullpen for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He has not pitched since last Friday due to hamstring tightness. It doesn't sound like the team plans on placing Kennedy on the injured list. They'd rather give him a few days to rest […]

Zack Littell To Serve As Opener Wednesday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Zack Littell will serve as the opener for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. He will technically draw the start, but Sam Long will get the bulk of the innings. This will be Long's MLB debut, but the fact Littell is being used as the opener means Long might not […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Picks Up Fifth Win

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga notched his fifth win of the season in Wednesday's 8-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Loaisiga pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings, inducing four groundball outs. The 26-year-old owns an outstanding 1.99 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP while allowing a career-low 2.3 percent barrel rate.

Zack Britton's Rehab Moves To Triple-A

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) will shift to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for the remainder of his rehab assignment.

Austin Voth To Be Out A While After Hit By Pitch

Washington Nationals pitcher Austin Voth (face) will likely miss a lengthy amount of time after being hit in the face by a pitch on Sunday, according to Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post.

Brandon Belt Activated Tuesday, Batting Fourth

The San Francisco Giants activated first baseman Brandon Belt from the 10-day injured list Tuesday ahead of their matchup with the Rangers on the road. The veteran had been recovering from an oblique injury but will play first base and bat fourth. Belt's return will be welcomed by the Giants, who are currently dealing with […]

Ranger Suarez An Option For Starting Rotation?

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Ranger Suarez has been excellent in a middle-relief role for the Phillies and the 25-year-old Venezuelan could get his shot in the starting rotation. Top pitching prospect Spencer Howard has been holding down the fifth spot in the rotation, but hasn't lasted past the fourth inning in any start. In fact, […]

Ryan Weathers Picks Up Third Victory

San Diego Padres starter Ryan Weathers gathered his third victory Monday against the Chicago Cubs with five frames of three-run baseball.

Garrett Cleavinger Looks Sharp During Rehab Outing

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Garrett Cleavinger (forearm) threw one scoreless inning during his first rehab appearance in Triple-A on Monday.

Hopefully, Cleavinger will be back […]

Adam Ottavino Takes Advantage Of Save Opportunity

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino recorded his third save of the season as his team knocked off the Marlins 5-3. Ottavino gave up one run in 1 1/3 frames pitched. He is rostered by 20 percent of teams in Yahoo fantasy leagues and could be a decent addition to a team's lineup if […]

Daniel Castano Called Up Then Immediately Unavailable

Miami Marlins left-handed pitcher Daniel Castano was called up on Monday and then immediately unavailable due to a shoulder issue. Castano was brought up to aid the bullpen in what was planned to be a bullpen game (the Marlins will likely have to have another one on Wednesday) but was unavailable once the game started. […]
