Bobby Dalbec Expected To Join Team On Monday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec is expected to join the team in Tampa Bay on Monday. The team hasn't made an official move yet, but the expectation is that Adam Duvall (wrist) will be placed on the injured list. The right-handed slugger suffered an injury during Sunday's game. It seems like the team […]

Joey Meneses Not In Sunday's Lineup

Washington Nationals first baseman/designated hitter Joey Meneses is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Colorado Rockies. The 30-year-old has gotten off to a sluggish start so this is probably just a day off to clear his head. After breaking out in the second half of 2022, Meneses is slashing just .216/.275/.297 […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Absent From The Lineup On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The recently recalled Pavin Smith is starting at designated hitter and […]

C.J. Cron Absent From The Lineup On Sunday

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron is not in the lineup on Sunday for the series finale against the Washington Nationals. The hard-hitting 33-year-old also missed Saturday's game with flu-like symptoms so that's likely the reason that he's absent on Sunday as well. Cron got off to a scorching hot start this season and is […]
