Jed Lowrie Sitting Wednesday

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie is getting the day off Wednesday. Lowrie was off to a red-hot start in April, riding a seven-game hitting streak at one point, though he has since cooled off to the tune of a .249 average. Tony Kemp will get the start at second and bat seventh.

Jose Iglesias Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Jose Iglesias (hamstring) is not in Wednesday's lineup for the game against the Texas Rangers. Iglesias was forced to exit Tuesday's game with a cramp in his hamstring, though he is currently being considered day-to-day, so it doesn't sound like anything serious. The 31-year-old is having a solid campaign, batting .283 […]

Texas Rangers outfielder David Dahl (rib) could be dealing with a somewhat serious injury. Dahl was held out of Wednesday's lineup after crashing into the wall during Tuesday's game, with manager Chris Woodward saying he was dealing with soreness.

Weekend Rehab Assignment Now Unlikely For Byron Buxton

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) was believed to be progressing well enough that a rehab assignment would be on tap this weekend.

Josh Donaldson Getting A Breather Wednesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Donaldson is getting a breather in the midst of a 2-for-23 slide at the plate.

Luis Arraez Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Luis Arraez (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday.

Clint Frazier Expected To See Time In Center Field

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier could start in center field soon, per manager Aaron Boone.

Luis Arraez Sitting For Second Straight Game

Minnesota Twins utility Luis Arraez will miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Arraez is dealing with shoulder soreness, an issue he picked up this past weekend while sliding into second base.

Nelson Cruz Remains Out Of Lineup

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Cruz was able to appear in Monday's game as a pinch hitter, leading to the belief that he would be able to return to action the following day, though that won't be the case. The Twins […]

Jorge Polanco Back In Action Tuesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco (ankle) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Max Kepler Back In Lineup Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.
