Mauricio Dubon Back In Leadoff Spot

Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Mauricio Dubon is starting in right field and is back in the leadoff spot on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds and rookie left-hander Andrew Abbott.

Ezequiel Duran Taking Day Off Thursday

Texas Rangers infielder/outfielder Ezequiel Duran is not in the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels.

Houston Astros infielder Mauricio Dubon will start on the bench on Thursday against the Washington Nationals with shortstop Jeremy Pena (illness) returning from a three-game absence due to an illness.

Zach Neto Leaves Early With Side Cramping

Los Angeles Angels rookie shortstop Zach Neto (side) left the game early on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers with cramping in his left side. Neto didn't have an official at-bat before leaving as a precautionary measure, and he was replaced at shortstop by Luis Rengifo, who shifted over from the keystone. For now, fantasy managers […]

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (illness) remains out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals.

Ryan Kreidler Undergoes Core Muscle Surgery

Detroit Tigers infielder Ryan Kreidler has undergone core muscle surgery and is without a timetable for his return.
