Cedric Mullins Taking A Seat On Sunday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Seattle Mariners.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Taking A Seat On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the San Diego Padres.

Matt Chapman Scratched With Finger Inflammation

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman (finger) has been scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Chicago Cubs with right middle finger inflammation.

Washington Nationals reliever Hunter Harvey (elbow) could join the Nationals as early as this week without a rehab assignment, according to manager Dave Martinez.

Minnesota Twins infielder Donovan Solano (knee) is once again not in the lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Hyun Jin Ryu Will Start Tomorrow For The Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu (knee) completed a successful throwing session on Friday and will start in Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (hip) threw a 50-pitch bullpen session on Friday with no issues, according to beat writer Maddie Lee.

Trevor Story Absent From The Lineup On Saturday

Boston Red Sox infielder Trevor Story is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Luke Raley (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers after missing the last two games with a right knee contusion.

C.J. Cron Getting The Day Off On Sunday Against Seattle

Los Angeles Angels first baseman/designated hitter C.J. Cron is getting the day off for Sunday's series finale against the Seattle Mariners.

Danny Jansen Absent From The Lineup Again With Wrist Issue

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (wrist) is once again not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox due to a sore wrist.

Javier Baez Absent From The Lineup For Series Finale

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is not in the starting lineup for the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. Baez is dealing with a death in his family and remains out of the lineup for the Tigers. The next logical step for Baez would be to be placed on the bereavement list, […]
