Mitch Moreland Leaves Early Friday
Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (quadriceps) left the game early on Friday with right quadriceps tightness. Fresh off the injured list on Friday, it might have just been a case of Moreland coming straight back to Boston without a rehab assignment. The left-handed slugger was hitless in two plate appearances before departing. Hopefully […]
Ryon Healy Suffers Setback
Seattle Mariners third baseman Ryon Healy (back) suffered a setback with his back and has been slowed in his return. Healy has been out since May 20 and might just be more of a bench bat when he returns now that Kyle Seager is starting every day at third base. Healy was hitting a weak […]

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Washington Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick will join the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Kendrick has been fantastic with the bat and is someone worth considering […]
Eric Hosmer is Resting on Thursday
San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. This appears to be a routine day off for Hosmer against the left-handed starter. Wil Myers will cover first base and bat second versus lefty Patrick Corbin. Myers is not been reliable with the […]

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.
