Welcome to the final wacky and wild Thursday slate of the 2020 regular season.

But fast-forward to Sept. 24 and we get to welcome in the final […]
Rhys Hoskins Not Likely To Return This Season
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (elbow) is more than likely done for the remainder of 2020. Hoskins is still not ready to hit in any capacity, which all but officially rules him out for the rest of the regular season, at the very least. Even if Philadelphia makes the postseason, manager Joe Girardi believes […]
Matt Olson Heads To Bench Wednesday
Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson is not among the starting nine for Wednesday’s contest versus the Dodgers and right-hander Joe Kelly.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/designated hitter Josh Bell is not starting Wednesday versus Chicago and right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Colin Moran shifts over to first base, with Jose Osuna holding down the DH spot.

Slumping Pete Alonso Has Big Night On Tuesday
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and drove in three runs in the Mets' 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Travis Shaw was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to back spasms. In his absence, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. filled in at first base while Randal Grichuk served as the designated hitter.

Ji-Man Choi, Yandy Diaz Take Batting Practice Monday
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) and third baseman Yandy Diaz (hamstring) both participated in batting practice Monday as they work their way back to the active roster.

Chicago Cubs infielder Ildemaro Vargas (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday’s contest versus Pittsburgh due to a strained right hamstring.
