Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Luke Voit (neck) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. It's uncertain when Voit picked up the injury, but it appears he's dealing with a strained neck.

The right-handed slugger slipped at third base and re-aggravated his groin issue. The team is uncertain of the severity of the injury, so Diaz will undergo an MRI on Monday. Hopefully, it's only a day-to-day […]

Raisel Iglesias Struggles On Sunday

Eric Lauer To Be Skipped In Rotation

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Eric Lauer will have his next turn in the rotation skipped. The 27-year-old will be available out of the bullpen, but will take a backseat to Colin Rea for at least one start.

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) has been scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Houston Astros. The veteran catcher was removed early during Thursday's game due to hamstring tightness.

James Outman Absent On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. The left-handed slugger will receive a rare off day here.
