Ji-Man Choi Absent From Rays Lineup Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman/designated hitter Ji-Man Choi will not be in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Atlanta Braves. Choi gained considerable notoriety for slugging his first home run of the season as a right-handed batter over the weekend, but his start to the 2020 season has been slow, going just 2-for-15. Yandy […]

Logan Forsythe Signs With The Marlins

The Miami Marlins signed infielder Logan Forsythe on Wednesday. The Marlins are scrambling to put together a team of players with big league experience, and Forsythe has plenty of it. It helps that he can play multiple positions, too. He hit just .227/.325/.353 as a member of the Rangers last season, so he's unlikely to […]

Yankees and Orioles To Play On Wednesday And Thursday

With the Phillies and Marlins postponing their games because of a coronavirus outbreak, the Yankees and Orioles will have a two-game series on Wednesday and Thursday this week.
