Whit Merrifield Not In The Lineup Against Seattle

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

Merrifield will likely come in as a pinch-hitter at some point […]

Clayton Kershaw Scheduled For Another Bullpen Session On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is scheduled to throw another bullpen on Monday after Friday's session went well. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters that if Monday goes well then Kershaw's next step would be to pitch to hitters.

Geraldo Perdomo Taking A Seat On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. Left-hander Brandon Williamson is getting the start for the Reds so the switch-hitting Perdomo will start this contest on the bench, as has been the case for most of the season whenever the D-Backs face a southpaw. The […]

Kerry Carpenter Getting A Breather On Saturday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. Carpenter was red hot coming out of the All-Star break, collecting six hits over the first four games, including three home runs. However, he's cooled down considerably since then so he'll get a day off on Saturday […]

Joe Kelly Activated From The 15-Day Injured List

Chicago White Sox reliever Joe Kelly was activated from the 15-day injured list on Saturday. The veteran hurler was on the shelf for over two weeks while dealing with elbow inflammation.

Seattle Mariners outfielder AJ Pollock (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain on Saturday.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (thumb) has gone off for an MRI on his sprained thumb, and while the results haven't come down yet, the team is anticipating him to go on the injured list. Well, that's a bummer to hear. Seager jammed his thumb while sliding into second base during Friday's loss to the […]

Prelander Berroa Optioned Back to Double-A Arkansas

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Prelander Berroa was optioned back to Double-A Arkansas on Saturday. The 23-year-old reliever made his MLB debut on Friday against the Blue Jays, walking three and punching out one over 2/3 of a scoreless inning.

Sal Frelick Being Promoted To The Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder and top prospect Sal Frelick is being promoted, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

He's a consensus top-35 prospect and should make an immediate impact with […]

Yerry Rodriguez Recalled From Triple-A

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Yerry Rodriguez has been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock. The 25-year-old will likely work low-leverage situations out of the Rangers' bullpen. He owns a 3.12 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 6:3 K/BB ratio over 8 2/3 innings (10 appearances) on the season. Reliever Grant Anderson was optioned back to Triple-A Round Rock […]

C.J. Cron Scratched With Back Stiffness

Updating a previous report, Colorado Rockies first baseman/designated hitter C.J. Cron (back) was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins with back stiffness. Cron was on the original lineup card, but his back appears to have stiffened up on him, so the Rockies are playing it safe and sitting him. Michael […]

Brandon Pfaadt Recalled, Will Start On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks rookie starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt has been recalled from Triple-A Reno and will start on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. The 24-year-old rookie certainly draws a tough assignment in this one as Great American Ball Park is not an easy place to pitch. Pfaadt has really struggled over his first six major league […]

Taylor Walls Lands On The Injured List With Oblique Strain

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Taylor Walls (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain, retroactive to July 21.

Corey Seager Is Not In The Lineup On Saturday

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (thumb) is not in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran shortstop sprained his thumb on a slide into second base during Friday's loss to the Dodgers so he'll be sitting out on Saturday and possibly Sunday as well. The good news is that the […]

C.J. Cron Scratched From The Lineup On Saturday

Colorado Rockies designated hitter/first baseman C.J. Cron is not in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Miami Marlins.

Wander Franco Continues To Scuffle At The Plate

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in a 3-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The offense was at a premium in this one as Zach Eflin and Kyle Bradish were locked in a pitcher's duel. Franco, who is in the midst of a 2-for-17 slump, wasn't […]

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 1-for-5 with a triple, a run scored, and two strikeouts in a 6-5 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Friday.

Zac Gallen Picks Up A Quality Start Against Atlanta

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen took a no-decision on Thursday when he allowed three runs on five hits with five strikeouts over seven innings in a 7-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in a 4-0 win over the San Diego Padres on Thursday.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes earned the win on Thursday when he fired eight shutout innings with 10 strikeouts and one walk in a 4-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Bryan Reynolds Continues To Struggle

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 0-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in a 7-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. The struggles continue for Reynolds who is batting just .205 with a .609 OPS over the last 30 contests. He nearly ended the Pirates' seventh-inning rally when he appeared to ground […]

David Bednar Shuts The Door On Cleveland On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher David Bednar worked a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians to pick up his 18th save of the season in a 7-5 win.

Jeimer Candelario A Late Scratch On Sunday

Updating a previous report, Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (thumb) was a late scratch for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He was originally in the lineup, after missing both ends of Saturday's doubleheader, but was scratched after taking some swings and handling groundballs during pregame warmups. Apparently, the thumb is still bothering […]

Anthony DeSclafani Slated To Start On Tuesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (shoulder) will be activated from the injured list on Tuesday and is slated to start against his former team, the Reds, in Cincinnati.

Michael Wacha Has Yet To Resume Throwing

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael Wacha (shoulder) has yet to resume throwing after landing on the injured list back on July 4 with right shoulder inflammation.

Willson Contreras Taking A Seat On Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Washington Nationals.

Hunter Harvey Dealing With Soreness In His Forearm And Triceps

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Hunter Harvey (forearm, triceps) is dealing with soreness in both his forearm and his triceps, per beat writer Jesse Dougherty.
