Pedro Strop Inching Towards Return

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (hamstring) will throw Tuesday and Thursday on a rehab assignment.

Willson Contreras Benched For Second Straight Day

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will sit for a second consecutive day on Saturday versus the Reds.

Gavin Lux Continues To Impress

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop prospect Gavin Lux continues to rake for Double-A Tulsa and added four more hits in five at-bats on Thursday.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada went 2-for-5 with a run scored and RBI. Moncada has slowed down since a hot start, but is still hitting a respectable .281 with 31 runs, nine home runs and 29 RBI. Moncada should be started in most formats.

Ivan Nova Goes Seven Innings

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. continued to stay hot on Wednesday by going 1-for-4 with a grand slam. Almora Jr. is now hitting .275 with five home runs, 18 RBI and 19 runs scored.
