J.P. Crawford Headed To Injured List

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (hand) has been placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game.

Elias Diaz Returns To The Lineup

Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz (calf) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon (finger) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The lefty slugger will miss his second straight game after jamming his finger over the weekend. The assumption is that this is a minor injury and McMahon should be considered as day-to-day. Aaron […]

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Julian Merryweather (shoulder) has been activated off the 60-day injured list on Monday. The right-hander has missed 3 1/2 months of action due to a shoulder strain.

German Marquez Placed On Injured List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right-elbow inflammation, retroactive to July 19.

Ramon Urias Dealing With Minor Injury

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Ramon Urias (neck) was held out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers.

Anthony Rizzo Making Slow Progress

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (forearm) is reportedly making slow progress, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. France has struggled to the tune of a .224/.313/.351 slash line with eight home runs and 31 RBI through 87 games this season. That being said, the Mariners will give him a day off to […]

Jacob Wilson Placed On Injured List

Oakland Athletics infielder Jacob Wilson (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday.

DJ LeMahieu Out On Sunday

New York Yankees third baseman DJ LeMahieu is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The veteran infielder will get a routine rest day here.
