Jackie Bradley Jr. Delivers Four RBI on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. had his best game of the season on Tuesday night. Bradley went 3-for-4 at the plate (including a homer) and delivered four RBI, his most in a game since May 30 of last season. It has been a bit of a battle offensively for Bradley throughout the year, […]

Drew Pomeranz to Throw Simulated Game on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starter Drew Pomeranz is expected to throw a simulated game on Wednesday, but he will still need a minor league rehab assignment before he can come back to the team. Couple this with the recent injury to Steven Wright, and it seems likely that the Red Sox will have to throw together […]

Steven Wright Heads to Disabled List

Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright is heading to the disabled list with left knee inflammation. This is a big blow for the Red Sox as Wright has been filling in admirably for fellow starter Drew Pomeranz, who is also injured. Wright had an egregious effort last game which saw him give up 10 earned […]

Red Sox Showing Interest in Zach Britton

The Boston Red Sox are in an arms race with the New York Yankees in an effort to improve their bullpen. Recently, both teams have been linked to Baltimore Orioles reliever Zach Britton.

Trevor Cahill to Resume Throwing Soon

Oakland Athletics starter Trevor Cahill has been sidelined with a strained Achilles since June 2, but he is getting closer to a return.

Mookie Betts Out With Illness on Saturday

Boston Red Sox star Mookie Betts (illness) will not be in the starting lineup on Saturday when the Red Sox take on the Seattle Mariners.

Yonder Alonso Sitting Out on Saturday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Yonder Alonso is getting a day off on Saturday when the Indians take on the Detroit Tigers. Edwin Encarnacion is starting at first while Jose Ramirez is the designated hitter. Alonso has a .255 average on the season to go along with 12 home runs and 43 RBI through 68 games. […]

Hanley Ramirez Reportedly Part of Federal Drug Investigation

This certainly won't help free-agent first baseman Hanley Ramirez convince suitors to give him a contract. The former Boston Red Sox infielder is reportedly being looked at in connection to an ongoing federal investigation related to a drug ring. The police stopped a car in Massachusetts on Friday morning and found a significant amount of drugs […]

Domingo Santana Optioned to Triple-A

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana has had a rough year after breaking out in a big way in 2017. He has a .249 average with just three home runs and 17 RBI through 211 plate appearances.

Xander Bogaerts Expected to Return on Sunday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (finger) is expected to return to the lineup on Sunday against the Seattle Mariners. Red Sox manager Alex Cora has said that Bogaerts is day-to-day with a sprained finger and should rest on Saturday. The injury is clearly minor. Bogaerts has enjoyed great success so far this season with […]

Gleyber Torres Sitting Out on Saturday

It is just a regular day of rest for New York Yankees prodigy Gleyber Torres. The 21-year-old has been a fantasy revelation since being called up in April. Although he has cooled down lately with just a .212 average during June, Torres still has fantastic numbers on the season. He is carrying a .288 average […]

Eduardo Escobar Back in Starting Lineup

Minnesota Twins third baseman Eduardo Escobar (elbow) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday when the Twins take on the Texas Rangers. He will be batting third in the order. Escobar was on the bench to start Friday's game, but he appeared as a pinch-hitter and played an inning in the field. Escobar has […]

Xander Bogaerts Unlikely to Play Saturday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts sprained his finger sliding into second base during Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Bogaerts is considered day-to-day and is unlikely to be in Saturday's starting lineup. Hopefully, this injury is minor as Bogaerts has been having a fantastic fantasy season. He is carrying a .279 average with 34 […]

Drew Pomeranz Makes Big Step in Recovery Process

Boston Red Sox starter Drew Pomeranz (neck) threw off of a mound on Friday afternoon. This is a massive step in the recovery process for the lefty, who has been on the disabled list since June 5. Red Sox manager Alex Cora has said it is unclear whether or not Pomeranz will go back into […]

San Diego Padres manager Andy Green said that outfielder Wil Myers (oblique) is close to returning and could rejoin the team over the weekend in San Francisco.

Michael Wacha Removed Early from Wednesday's Start

St. Louis Cardinals starter Michael Wacha was removed in the fourth inning of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies with a left oblique strain.

Khris Davis Out on Wednesday With Stomach Virus

Updating a previous post, Oakland Athletics slugger Khris Davis is out of Wednesday's lineup with the flu. It originally looked like a regular rest day for the Athletics designated hitter, but the team said that Davis is dealing with a minor stomach bug. He is still available to pinch hit if the opportunity arises and […]

Noah Syndergaard Expected to Throw Bullpen This Weekend

New York Mets starter Noah Syndergaard (finger) has been on the disabled list with a strained finger since May 26, but he has been steadily progressing in his rehab.

Brad Hand a Possible Trade Option for Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox are interested in upgrading their bullpen and San Diego Padres closer Brad Hand is reportedly a target for the team.

Paul DeJong Getting Closer to Return

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (hand) is set to visit a specialist next week that can give him clearance to start hitting live pitching again. DeJong has been on the disabled list since May 18 with a fractured left hand. He was hitting off a tee last weekend, and a minor league rehab assignment […]

Adam Wainwright Still Weeks Away From Rehab Assignment

St. Louis Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright (elbow) is still a long ways away from beginning a minor league rehab assignment, according to Cardinals general manager Michael Grisch. Wainwright has had supreme elbow discomfort for the majority of the season and will probably not begin throwing again until some point in July. Wainwright has only managed to […]

Khris Davis Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

Oakland Athletics slugger Khris Davis is on the bench against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Davis is dealing with a routine stomach virus but he is still available to pinch-hit if necessary. It just looks like a regular day off for Davis, as there is no designated hitter spot available in the National League ballpark. He […]

Dustin Pedroia Still Far Away From Returning

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) has been hit hard by the injury bug in 2018. After having cartilage restoration surgery in his knee back in October, he finally returned to the Red Sox lineup on May 26. That was short-lived, however, as Pedroia only played in three games before being put back on […]

Brett Gardner Not in Monday's Starting Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner will not be in the starting lineup for the Yankees second game tonight, although he is hopeful that he could pinch hit if need be. Gardner is dealing with a sore right knee. Gardner has been productive at the top of the Yankees order so far this season. He […]

Jeremy Hellickson Close to Returning, Possible Starter on Tuesday

Washington Nationals starter Jeremy Hellickson (hamstring strain) is feeling good after throwing bullpen sessions and doing fielding drills over the past week. Hellickson seems to think he will not even require a rehab stint and could conceivably be the starter tomorrow against the Baltimore Orioles. Hellickson has compiled a 2-0 record over nine starts this season […]

Miguel Sano Making First Rehab Appearance on Monday Night

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano will be batting third in the order on Monday night for High-A Fort Myers. Sano has had a dismal 2018 season so far and was looking lost at the plate. He was carrying a .203 average through 37 games with seven home runs. The Twins felt Sano needed to be […]

Melky Cabrera Opts out of Contract, Becomes Free Agent

Cleveland Indians veteran outfielder Melky Cabrera has decided to become a free agent.

Jeurys Familia Activated off of Disabled List

New York Mets closer Jeurys Familia (shoulder soreness) was activated off of the 10-day disabled list on Sunday.

Jay Bruce Returns to Mets Lineup on Sunday

New York Mets outfielder Jay Bruce is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Bruce had missed the past three games with a sore back.
