Sean Murphy Getting A Rest Wednesday

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is not in the club's starting lineup Wednesday afternoon against A's right-hander James Kaprielian. It's of little surprise to see the backstop getting a breather in an afternoon game following an evening contest Tuesday night. The Braves are wise to keep their prized catcher rested as he's been a monster […]

Cedric Mullins Hits Injured List, Aaron Hicks Signs

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right-groin strain while outfielder Aaron Hicks has been signed to a major-league contract. Mullins appeared to injure himself while running down the first baseline on Monday and, unsurprisingly, will need time to heal. It's been another big season for the […]

Matt Vierling Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling has been placed on the 10-day injured list with low back soreness. It's one of a flurry of moves for the Tigers Tuesday afternoon as ace Eduardo Rodriguez was placed on the 15-day IL with a finger injury while infielder Tyler Nevin and pitcher Braden Bristo have been recalled in […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Hits The 15-Day Injured List

Detroit Tigers pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a finger injury that has been labeled a left index finger pulley rupture. The move is retroactive to May 29. It's a tough blow for both player and team as Rodriguez was enjoying a fantastic second season with the Tigers. The […]

Tyler Nevin Promoted From Triple-A Toledo

Detroit Tigers infielder Tyler Nevin has been promoted from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday night's contest against the visiting Texas Rangers. The 26-year-old struggled in his go around with the big club this season as he hit just .091 with one homer and a .449 OPS in a rather small 27-plate-appearance sample. He's fared much […]

Brett Sullivan Optioned To Clear Space For Gary Sanchez

San Diego Padres catcher Brett Sullivan has been optioned to Triple-A to make space for fellow backstop Gary Sanchez, who was signed by the club Monday night. Needless to say, it was a tough go for Sullivan in his first taste of big-league action this season. The 29-year-old hit just .170 with one homer and […]

Bryan De La Cruz Getting Rare Start Out Of The Leadoff Spot Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Bryan De La Cruz is getting a rare start out of the leadoff spot Tuesday when the club takes on left-hander Ryan Weathers and the visiting San Diego Padres. It's just the second start out of the one-hole this season for the 26-year-old who has recovered since struggling to begin the month […]

Raimel Tapia Hitting In Leadoff Spot Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Raimel Tapia is starting out of the leadoff spot Tuesday night when the club hosts right-hander Ben Lively and the Cincinnati Reds. It's a fairly rare start for the speedster, as Alex Verdugo has been a constant out of the leadoff spot for the BoSox this season, appearing in 51 of […]

Alex Verdugo Getting Rare Breather Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is getting a rare day off Tuesday when the club opens up a series with the visiting Cincinnati Reds. Technically, it's his second day off in a row, as the Red Sox were idle on Monday. Verdugo has been a constant atop the Red Sox lineup and in right […]

Yoan Moncada Back In The Starting Lineup Monday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is back in the starting lineup Monday when the club opens up a series against Griffin Canning and the visiting Los Angeles Angels. Moncada didn't start Sunday's series finale in Detroit but did go hitless in his lone plate appearance later in the contest. The former top prospect […]

Willie Calhoun Moved Up To Three-Hole Monday

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Willie Calhoun will hit out of the three-hole for the first time this season when the club openers up a series with the Seattle Mariners on the west coast. It was a slow start to the season for the former top prospect but Calhoun has picked it up of late. […]

Gary Sanchez Claimed Off Waivers By Padres

The San Diego Padres have claimed veteran catcher Gary Sanchez off waivers from the New York Mets after he was designated for assignment last Thursday. The former Yankees backstop made just seven trips to the plate for the Mets, going 1-for-17 with an RBI in that time. It's been a rough stretch for a player […]

Travis d'Arnaud Absent Again Monday

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is once again missing from the club's starting lineup Monday night as they open up a series with the lowly Oakland A's. The veteran backstop hasn't seen game action since Friday, when he doubled and scored a run as part of a two-hit effort against the Phillies. The reason behind […]

Aledmys Diaz Hitting Cleanup Monday

Oakland A's utility player Aledmys Diaz is hitting out of the cleanup spot Monday against Braves right-hander Michael Soroka, who happens to be making his season debut. It's a rare spot in the order for Diaz, as Monday marks just his second start of the season out of the four-hole while he is one of […]

Max Muncy Sitting Out Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Nationals due to a hamstring injury. Muncy left Sunday's contest with the Rays after just two plate appearances with the hamstring issue, and it will cost him Monday's series opener with Washington. It's been a big season for […]

Stone Garrett Returns To Starting Lineup Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Stone Garrett is back in the club's starting lineup Wednesday against San Diego Padres left-hander Ryan Weathers. It will be Garrett's first game action since going 2-for-5 with a strikeout Sunday against the Tigers. The 27-year-old certainly broke out of a funk with that effort as he had recorded just one base […]

Gunnar Henderson On The Bench Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Gunnar Henderson is absent from Wednesday's starting lineup against the New York Yankees and southpaw Nestor Cortes. The 21-year-old's bat has heated up of late but it's little surprise he will start on the bench against a left-handed pitcher. The lefty-swinging youngster is hitting just .129 without an extra-base hit across […]

J.D. Martinez Looking To Stay White-Hot Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez will look to continue a torrid stretch Wednesday as he takes on right-hander Bryce Elder and the Atlanta Braves. Martinez has clubbed four homers over his last four games -- including three over his last two -- while driving in nine runs over that time. Additionally, Martinez will […]

Michael Harris II Returns To Starting Lineup Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II is back in the starting lineup Wednesday against Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin. Harris didn't get into Tuesday's contest but will reclaim center field and hit ninth Wednesday night at Truist Park in Atlanta. It's been tough sledding of late for the 22-year-old as Harris has gone hitless in six […]

Sean Murphy Getting A Breather Wednesday

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is not in Wednesday's starting lineup as the club takes on the Dodgers and right-hander Tony Gonsolin in Atlanta. It's a well-earned breather for the backstop who is enjoying a massive season in his first year with the Braves. The former Athletics catcher has clubbed 10 homers along with a […]

Emmet Sheehan Continues Dominance At Double-A

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect Emmet Sheehan continued his dominance of the Double-A level on Tuesday night. The right-hander tossed four innings of hitless, shutout ball while punching out nine against three walks on the night. That marks the fourth consecutive scoreless start for the 23-year-old who lowered his season-long ERA to 1.66 across eight […]

TJ Friedl Leading Off In Return From Injured List

Cincinnati Reds outfielder TJ Friedl (oblique) is hitting out of the leadoff spot Tuesday night in his return from the injured list. It's his first appearance out of the leadoff spot this season, but Friedl has been rather productive at the plate. The lefty-swinging outfielder is hitting .306 with three home runs, four stolen bases, […]

Josh Palacios Back In The Starting Lineup Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Josh Palacios is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the visiting Texas Rangers and right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. It's Palacios' first start since May 20 as he's appeared in just seven big-league contests this season. The 27-year-old is hitting .267 but is without a home run or a stolen base while his […]

Sam Hilliard Back In The Starting Lineup Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Sam Hilliard is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Bobby Miller. It's his first game action since May 16 but Hilliard has been rather productive at the plate this season. The former Colorado Rockie is hitting .258 with three homers, four stolen bases, and a […]

Andrew Benintendi Drops To Sixth In Tuesday's Starting Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi has been demoted to sixth in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Cleveland Guardians.

Tucupita Marcano Enjoys Massive Night Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Tucupita Marcano had a big night at the plate Monday as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Texas Rangers by a 6-4 final.
