Chris Taylor Unlikely To Return Before All-Star Break

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (knee) isn't expected to return until after the All-Star break. The 32-year-old has been out since mid-June after suffering a bone bruise in his right knee. However, he had been struggling before going down, batting just .206 with 63 strikeouts, so hopefully, the time away will help. In the […]

Jeremy Pena Sitting Out Again On Saturday

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (neck) is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Texas Rangers. Pena sat out Friday's contest as well due to neck stiffness so apparently the issue is still bothering him.

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds and left-hander Brandon Williamson, starting at second base and batting leadoff as the Padres attempt to end their six-game losing skid.

Ha-Seong Kim Dealing With Hamstring Strain

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (hamstring) is dealing with a left-hamstring strain, which is why he wasn't in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Cincinnati Reds. Kim might have been able to play, but the Padres didn't want to risk making it worse. The 27-year-old is day-to-day, and he could be back […]

Taylor Walls Back In Action Against Mariners

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Taylor Walls (back) has returned to the starting lineup on Friday against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Bryce Miller, and he is starting at second base and batting eighth in the lineup.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Taylor Walls (back) remained out of the team's lineup on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks after being scratched from Tuesday's lineup with mid-back tightness.

Brice Turang Recalled From Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Brice Turang has been recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is out of the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers. In his place, Josh H.

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (elbow) and first baseman Joey Meneses are both getting the day off on Wednesday as the team takes on the Seattle Mariners.
