Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Ryan Mountcastle went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Tuesday's 10-0 loss to the Rays. Mountcastle had been out of the lineup since August 8 with a concussion, so it was good to see him back and healthy. The 24-year-old has had a productive season at the plate, slashing […]

Jake Lamb Hits Sixth Home Run

Chicago White Sox infielder/outfielder Jake Lamb went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs and home run in Tuesday's blowout victory versus the Oakland Athletics.

Ryan O'Hearn Takes A Seat Tuesday

Kansas City Royals first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn is not in the lineup Tuesday to take on the Houston Astros. Emmanuel Rivera will take his spot, playing third base and batting eighth.

Trey Mancini Exits Game Monday
