Justin Steele Looking To Build On Bounce- Back Effort Thursday

Chicago Cubs pitcher Justin Steele will look to build on a bounce-back effort when he gets the ball for a road start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.

Tanner Bibee Looking To Remain In Cruise Control Thursday

Cleveland Guardians pitcher Tanner Bibee is looking to stay hot on Thursday as he takes on the Chicago White Sox opposite right-hander Dylan Cease. Bibee has been on an absolute tear, tossing 29 2/3 innings of four-run ball over his last five starts, striking out 34 batters in that time. He is coming off his […]

Dylan Cease Not Going Anywhere At Deadline

Chicago White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease will reportedly not get traded at this year's MLB trade deadline. The club dealt pitchers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez to the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night and will almost certainly deal impending free agent Lance Lynn as well but Cease is apparently staying put. The 2022 AL […]

Gunnar Henderson Taking A Seat Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson (back) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Ranger Suarez. The 22-year-old departed Tuesday's contest late with lower back discomfort, but it's likely he was going to start this one on the bench regardless considering he is hitting just .206 with two […]

Will Smith Hits The Bench Wednesday Afternoon

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is on the bench for Wednesday afternoon's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Smith started each of the first two games of the three-game set with the Blue Jays, going 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored on Tuesday, but will predictably take a […]

Enrique Hernandez Starting For The Dodgers Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers utility player Enrique Hernandez is starting at second base and hitting sixth Wednesday afternoon against the Blue Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. The Dodgers brought the versatile Hernandez back in a trade with the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday and will immediately plug him into the starting lineup against a left-handed pitcher. […]

George Springer Returning To The Starting Lineup Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is back in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Dodgers and right-hander Tony Gonsolin. While Springer didn't start Tuesday's extra-innings loss, he did walk and score a run across a pair of pinch-hitting plate appearances. It's been an underwhelming season by his standards as the veteran is hitting .260 […]

Tigers And Angels Postponed Wednesday

The scheduled contest on Wednesday between the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels has been postponed due to thunderstorms in the Detroit area. The contest will be made up on Thursday as part of a straight doubleheader with the first game starting at 1:10 pm ET with the second contest kicking off 40 minutes after […]

Zach Eflin Exits Early Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Zach Eflin departed Wednesday's contest against the Miami Marlins early with discomfort in his left knee. It was already a tough afternoon for the right-hander as the Marlins tagged Eflin for five earned runs on seven hits and a walk before he left the contest after completing four innings. Despite the […]

Aaron Hicks Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left-hamstring strain sustained in Monday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. The veteran was injured while diving for a fly ball in center field in the bottom of the third inning of his club's 3-2 win and will get […]

J.T. Realmuto Returns Tuesday Night For The Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday night's contest against the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Kyle Gibson. Realmuto didn't start Monday night's loss but did draw a pinch-hitting walk in that one. The veteran backstop has bounced back from a slow start to produce what has amounted to league-average […]

Javier Baez Back In The Starting Lineup Tuesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday night's series opener versus Los Angeles Angels right-hander Griffin Canning. Baez didn't start Monday afternoon's contest against the Giants but struck out in a pinch-hitting appearance. It's been a disastrous season at the plate for the veteran as Baez is hitting just […]

Adley Rutschman Returning To Starting Lineup Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman is back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Taijuan Walker. Rutschman got a breather in Monday's series-opening 3-2 victory but will get back at it Tuesday out of the two-hole. The 25-year-old has collected just five hits over his last seven games but has […]

Pablo Lopez Looking To Build On Improved Outing Tuesday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Pablo Lopez will look to build on a strong outing from his last time out Tuesday night against the Seattle Mariners. He wasn't completely dominant last week against this same Mariners club in Seattle but surrendered just two earned runs across five innings of work while punching out seven. Of course, that […]

Charlie Morton In Search Of Bounce-Back Effort Tuesday

Atlanta Braves pitcher Charlie Morton will be in search of improved results on Tuesday when he gets the ball for a road start against the Boston Red Sox. His previous outing wasn't a complete disaster but Morton did yield four earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out just four across 5 […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Getting The Ball Tuesday

Detroit Tigers pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez will get the start Tuesday night as the club opens up a three-game set against the Los Angeles Angels. There's a real possibility this could be his final start in a Tigers uniform as E-Rod will be one of the more sought-after players leading up to the Aug. 1 MLB […]

Adam Duvall Receiving Trade Interest From Braves

Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall is being eyed by the Atlanta Braves prior to the Aug. 1 MLB trade deadline. Of course, the Braves are familiar with Duvall as the slugger spent parts of four seasons in Atlanta, providing them with excellent production for the vast majority of that time. It's no surprise to […]

Evan Longoria On The Bench Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria is not in the starting lineup for Monday night's series opener versus the St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Adam Wainwright. The veteran went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in Sunday's series finale with the Reds but will take a seat on Monday. Longoria's bat has remained productive at […]

Gary Sanchez Taking A Seat Monday

San Diego Padres catcher Gary Sanchez is on the bench for Monday's series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Quinn Priester. Sanchez has cooled off after a red-hot start to his Padres tenure but has still offered up power with nine homers and a .214 isolated power across 46 games on the season. The […]

Jack Suwinski Returns To Starting Lineup Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski is back in the starting lineup Monday night against San Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish. The lefty-swinging Suwinski didn't start Sunday's series finale against the Angels and southpaw Tyler Anderson but will predictably get right back into the lineup against a righty on Monday. It's been a big season for […]

Shane Bieber Transferred To 60-Day IL

Cleveland Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber (elbow, forearm) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list and will not return before Sept. 10. The right-hander was recently shut down from throwing for two weeks after experiencing forearm irritation and it appears if the Guardians will be without their ace for longer than they had hoped. It's […]

Mitch Keller Being Discussed In Trade Talks

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller is being discussed in trade talks by the team's front office leading up to the Aug.1 MLB trade deadline. It's unclear how far talks with interested parties have gone to this point but it appears the club is at least willing to listen on the 2023 All-Star. Keller has largely […]

Despite the unsuccessful […]

J.P. France Looking To Avoid Regression Thursday

Houston Astros pitcher J.P. France is looking to avoid regression on Thursday when he takes the mound on the road against the Oakland Athletics. The 28-year-old rookie has pitched to a quality 3.31 ERA across 12 starts on the season but his peripheral numbers spell regression moving forward. The right-hander also sports a 4.65 FIP […]

Carlos Correa On The Bench Thursday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is not in the starting lineup Thursday afternoon against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander George Kirby. Correa went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Mariners but has otherwise been hot of late. He has collected a multi-hit game in three of his last six games with […]

Jarred Kelenic Placed On 10-Day Injured List With Foot Fracture

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left foot fracture.

Kelenic has had a nice season, hitting .252 with 11 homer […]

Cade Marlowe Gets The Call To The Big Leagues

Seattle Mariners prospect Cade Marlowe has been promoted to the big leagues from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. He will take the roster spot of outfielder Jarred Kelenic who was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left foot fracture. The 26-year-old has appeared in 69 games with Tacoma this season, hitting .255 with 11 […]

Tommy Pham Exits Early On Thursday

New York Mets outfielder Tommy Pham exited Thursday afternoon's game against the Chicago White Sox with what appeared to be a lower-body injury.
