Bo Bichette Reaches Three Times Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette had a nice day at the plate on Tuesday, going 2-for-3 with a walk. He chipped into the offense with a double and a single to boost his average to .267 on the campaign, but unfortunately the bats behind him couldn't help him regain the league lead in runs […]

Javier Baez Remains Sidelined On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) will miss Tuesday's game versus the San Diego Padres. Baez left Sunday's game early with a contusion on his thumb and hasn't played since.

Corey Seager Could Hit Off Tee Soon

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) is inching closer to a return and manager Dave Roberts said on Tuesday that the star shortstop could start taking swings off of a tee in the next couple of days.

Miguel Rojas To Begin Baseball Activity

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (finger) is set to begin baseball activities today and will field ground balls and hit off a tee.

Nick Maton Optioned To Triple-A

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Nick Maton has been optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. It is a bit of an odd move considering the organization didn't announce a corresponding move along with Maton to the minors.
