Ozzie Albies Goes Deep In Win Over Reds

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies is another player who may be the cornerstone of another revival. He continued to show his promise on April 25, going 2-for-4 with a solo homer and he also scored a run. The 21-year-old is hitting .283 with seven homers in the early going. Hitting in front of Freddie […]

Jace Peterson Drives In Two Runs In First Action As Oriole

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jace Peterson wasn't fazed at being let go by the Yankees and then subsequently scooped up by the O's and immediately plugged into the lineup to replace Tim Beckham, who may need groin surgery.

Asdrubal Cabrera’s Absence Due To Hamstring

To update an earlier item, the reason New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera is out of the lineup on Wednesday is due to a hamstring injury.

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve hit his first home run of the season on Wednesday as the Astros beat the Angels 5-2.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Jedd Gyorko is starting at third base, with Kolten Wong at second, and Jose Martinez at first. More often than not, it seems the Cardinals will go with Martinez at first and Gyorko at third, […]

Logan Forsythe Stops Throwing Program

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Logan Forsythe (shoulder) has stopped his throwing program because of his continued shoulder inflammation. He hopes to resume throwing this Friday. Forsythe has been battling shoulder issues since spring training and started the season playing through the pain. His absence, along with that of Justin Turner, has created an infield carousel […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa to Start at Third; Drew Robinson In at Second

With Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hamstring) hitting the disabled list officially, the Rangers will use infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa at the hot corner against the A's in his absence.

Asdrubal Cabrera Out, Wilmer Flores In On Wednesday

New York Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera, arguably the team’s best hitter thus far in 2018, is getting the night off against the St. Louis Cardinals and starting pitcher Michael Wacha.

Curtis Granderson, Devon Travis Out of Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Curtis Granderson and second baseman Devon Travis are both out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez and the Boston Red Sox. Travis returned to the lineup on Sunday after missing a few games with a sore foot, but has continued to struggle with a 1-for-7 line […]

Robinson Cano Has Good History Against White Sox Starter

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano will take his usual place in the lineup Wednesday. In his career, Cano has been extremely successful against Chicago White Sox starting pitcher James Shields with a .423 batting average and four home runs in 85 plate appearances. Cano will be one of the more expensive options at second base […]

Nick Solak Continues To Hit

Tampa Bay Rays second base prospect Nick Solak is now hitting .323 in his first 62 at-bats this season for Double-A Montgomery. Solak also has 10 RBI and three stolen bases. Solak has hit at every level he’s been in and drives the ball into the gap, but lacks in the power department. Solak has […]

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop (oblique) was able to hit off of a tee, take ground balls and throw prior to the team's scheduled game on Tuesday.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier went 1-for-4 with a single and one RBI in his team's 14-1 loss to the New York Yankees on Monday. The single gave Dozier a team-record 17 straight games with a hit to open the season. If you add in the end of the 2017 season, Dozier is now […]
