Francisco Lindor Has a Huge Game on Saturday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor had an excellent Saturday, going 4-for-4 with two home runs and two doubles.

Andrew Miller Activated From the Disabled List

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller (hamstring) was activated from the disabled list on Friday.

Maliek Collins Suffers a Broken Foot

Carlos Martinez Lands on the Disabled List

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez was placed on the 10-day disabled list due to a right lat strain.
