Cincinnati Reds Player Tests Positive For COVID-19

News broke in the early hours of this morning that a member of the Cincinnati Reds had tested positive for COVID-19.

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar went 1-for-4 on Friday, driving in three runs. Aguilar is up to 15 RBI now, just five behind the league leaders.

Logan Morrison Elects Free Agency After Being DFA’d

The Logan Morrison Era in Milwaukee comes to an end after just 28 plate appearances.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter Ryan Braun is not among the starting nine for Friday’s contest against the Cubs and right-handed pitcher Alec Mills.
