Baltimore Orioles' first baseman Trey Mancini (hand) underwent a precautionary X-ray on his left hand that came back clean following Saturday's 6-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Spencer Torkelson Absent From Saturday's Lineup

Detroit Tigers' first baseman Spencer Torkelson isn't starting Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He will get the day off after hitting .304 with three RBI and four runs over his last six games.

Yuli Gurriel Getting The Day Off

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the New York Yankees. Gurriel's season-long slump continues, and he's hitting just .211 (15-for-71) with two homers and five RBI in 20 games in the month of June, so hopefully a day off will help clear his head. In his […]

Ty France Heading To Injured List With Flexor Strain

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (forearm) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 flexor strain in his forearm/elbow area. While he's hopeful that the injury won't cause him to miss a lengthy period of time, he will require a trip to the 10-day injured list.

X-Rays Negative On Ty France

Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais said that the team is cautiously optimistic about first baseman Ty France (arm) after his X-rays came back negative.

Ty France Leaves With Arm Injury

Updating a previous report, Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (arm) left the game early on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics with what looked like a left arm injury.

Ty France Removed From Thursday's Game

Seattle Mariners infielder Ty France (undisclosed) was removed early during Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 11

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Slugging .624 In June

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been on a tear at the plate in June. He's racked up eight home runs, 18 RBI and 18 runs this month to go along with a stellar .294/.388/.624 slash line. His gaudy surface stats are supported by a .647 xSLG and a 96.5 mph average […]
