Minnesota Twins infielder Donovan Solano's (knee) MRI exam showed that he has a mild MCL sprain in his right knee after getting injured in Tuesday's game. Nothing showed up on his ankle, but he remains sore on Wednesday and is not in the starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers. It's unknown how long Solano will […]

Omar Martinez Fuels Big Week With Three-Homer Game

New York Yankees catching prospect Omar Martinez signed with the club out of Venezuela back in 2018. While the intention has always been to solidify his skills as a catcher, New York actually let him pitch 1.2 innings out of the bullpen back in 2021. He struck out three batters, indicative of a strong arm […]

Trey Lipscomb Finding Success In Minors

Washington Nationals infield prospect Trey Lipscomb landed with the organization as a third-round pick out of the University of Tennessee in 2022. He is a reliable, versatile defender who has played all four infield positions this season. However, with impressive glovework, strong reactive instincts, and an above-average arm, he should stick at third base long-term. […]

Shea Langeliers Absent From Tuesday's Lineup

Oakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers is out of the lineup for the matchup with Max Scherzer and the Texas Rangers Tuesday. The 25-year-old has struggled to a .201 average with 11 homers over 96 games. Tyler Soderstrom will do the catching instead and bat fifth. The rookie slugger has gotten off to a poor start […]

Ji Man Choi On The Bench Tuesday

San Diego Padres first baseman/designated hitter Ji Man Choi is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest with Logan Gilbert and the Seattle Mariners. Choi only has 27 games under his belt this season due to injury, and he's struggled, batting .185 with a .687 OPS. Garrett Cooper will take over instead at DH […]

Donovan Solano Sprains His Knee

Minnesota Twins infielder Donovan Solano (knee) left Tuesday's game early against the Detroit Tigers with a right-knee sprain. Before leaving, Solano went 1-for-2 with a strikeout to raise his season average to .278. He was replaced at first base by Joey Gallo. The 35-year-old Solano should be considered day-to-day for now, but this is the […]

Carlos Santana Sitting Out On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Carlos Santana (illness) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. It appears the 37-year-old is dealing with a minor illness, so he'll sit this game out. Since the trade from the Pirates, Santana is hitting a rough .167 with two home runs and three RBI. […]

Joey Votto Sitting Tuesday Versus Lefty

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto is on the bench to start Tuesday's contest against Miami Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett. The veteran slugger hasn't hit for much average against both lefties and righties this season but has brought a wealth of power to the table after beginning the season on the injured list. Votto slugged […]

[…]

Phillies-Nationals Postponed On Monday

The scheduled contest between the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals on Monday night has been postponed due to inclement weather in the Philadelphia area. The game will be made up as a doubleheader on Tuesday. The Nationals were scheduled to start right-hander Trevor Williams opposite of Phillies southpaw Ranger Suarez while it's unclear if both […]

Max Muncy Returns To Lineup Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (wrist) is back in the starting lineup on Monday against the San Diego Padres and right-hander Seth Lugo, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup.
