Robel Garcia Goes Yard

Chicago Cubs second baseman Robel Garcia went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored. Garcia has started six games since making his big league debut July 3. With Addison Russell struggling and Garcia doing well in a small sample size, it’s possible that he can take over at second base for […]

Josh Harrison Suffers Setback

Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said that second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) suffered a setback and felt tightness in his hamstring again, possibly the breaking up of scar tissue. There remains no set timetable for Harrison to restart his rehab assignment. Harrison needed surgery on his hamstring, so don't expect him to return anytime soon. […]

Scooter Gennett Sitting Out Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. The Reds are being cautious with Gennett after he missed the majority of the first half of the season due to a serious groin injury. Derek Dietrich is at the keystone and is hitting fifth against Cubs right-handed starter Alec Mills. […]

Franklin Barreto Getting His Opportunity

The Oakland Athletics called up infielder Franklin Barreto from the minors in order to give him a real opportunity for regular playing time at second base. The 23-year-old will be the everyday second baseman if he shows that he can produce at the plate. If he struggles, he'll be sent back to the minors. This […]

Ozzie Albies Tallies Three Hits In Win Over Brewers

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies was 3-for-4 with a run scored during a 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. The 22-year-old has been a reliable source of offense this season, aside from a cold spell in May, as he is slashing .293/.351/.482 with 14 home runs, 50 RBI, 58 runs scored, and […]

Eric Sogard Continues To Produce In Leadoff Spot

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Eric Sogard was 3-for-5 with a run scored during a 10-8 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The 33-year-old has enjoyed a breakout season in Canada, slashing .302/.370/.494 with 10 home runs, 27 RBI, and 39 runs scored through 245 at-bats. While his counting stats fail to jump […]

Brock Holt Notches Two Hits Monday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Brock Holt went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's win over Toronto. In July, the veteran utility player is hitting .381 with an .840 OPS but has just two runs batted in. Holt has mainly spent his time at second base this season, and with Eduardo […]

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez drove in two runs on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a double.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (forearm) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a non-displaced fracture of his left forearm after being hit by a pitch on Sunday night.

That's three home runs in the last two games for Tampa Bay Rays infielder Michael Brosseau. Through just 12 games, he's slashed .395/.425/.816 with eight extra-base hits and 10 RBI.

Jedd Gyorko May Not Return Before September

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jedd Gyorko's (back, calf, wrist) wrist isn't responding well and he is still healing from a calf injury. The Cardinals are a month away from re-evaluating what his timeline looks like, and Gyorko won't disagree that it might be hard to see him returning before Sept. 1. It basically equates to […]

Brandon Lowe Might Be Out Until Next Weekend

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that second baseman Brandon Lowe (shin) might not be back until the team's next homestand next weekend. Lowe has been out since July 2.
