Jazz Chisholm Jr. And Gleyber Torres Likely To Get Reps At Third Base

New York Yankees outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. could see time at third base for his new team, manager Aaron Boone said on Sunday.

Craig Kimbrel Implodes In Blown Save

Baltimore Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel had a rough outing on Thursday, coughing up a 6-3 lead in the ninth inning against the Miami Marlins.

Lawrence Butler Stays Scorching Hot

Oakland Athletics outfield Lawrence Butler continued his insane July on Thursday, going 2-for-5 with a homer and a double. Butler drove in a pair and scored twice to round out his stat line.
