Hunter Greene and Justin Steele have looked very sharp to start the 2022 season.

Steven Kwan: Champ or Chump for Fantasy Baseball?

Steven Kwan was one of the biggest stories to come out of MLB's Opening Week, setting numerous records for most times on base over a player's first X games. Unsurprisingly, the 24-year-old has endured a couple of hitless games and likely won't hit .400. Now that the initial performance is in the rear-view mirror, it's […]

Free-agent left-hander Ross Detwiler signed a minor league deal with the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.

Tyler Naquin Placed On Injured List

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin was placed on the 10-day injured list without an injury designation ahead of the team's game on Monday.

The team activated outfielder Nick Senzel from the injured […]
