Yankees Sign Jake Lamb To Minor-League Deal

The New York Yankees signed free-agent infielder/outfielder Jake Lamb to a minor-league deal on Friday and assigned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

But injuries and poor performance led to his release […]

Jeimer Candelario Dealing With Bruised Thumb

Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (thumb) is dealing with a bone bruise in his right thumb, according to manager Dave Martinez.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) started his minor-league rehab assignment on Friday with Triple-A Charlotte. Moncada hasn't played much this year due to injuries and was last seen on a major-league field on June 13, so expect him to have a rather lengthy rehab assignment before returning to the White Sox. The […]

Alex Kirilloff Starting Against Oakland

Minnesota Twins infielder Alex Kirilloff will start on Friday against the Oakland Athletics. Jose Miranda (shoulder) is battling soreness, so he'll sit this one out. The 25-year-old will face left-hander Ken Waldichuk for the first time and bat sixth. Kiriloff has struck out 49 times this season. However, he has played well enough to draw […]

Jose Miranda Pulled From Friday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda (shoulder) isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics. The 28-year-old is battling right shoulder soreness. However, he's had the injury since spring training, so he shouldn't miss much time unless things have progressively worsened. In the meantime, Alex Kirilloff, batting .273 with 47 hits, 18 […]

Pablo Reyes To Continue Rehab Assignment This Weekend

Boston Red Sox infielder Pablo Reyes (abdomen) will continue his minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Portland this weekend and will not rejoin the team until next week. The Red Sox are giving Reyes a little more time to recover from an abdominal strain, but as long as he doesn't have a setback during games this […]

Brian Anderson Scratched On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Brian Anderson (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The right-handed slugger has been pulled from the lineup due to lower back discomfort. Andruw Monasterio will cover third base and bat sixth versus right-hander Graham Ashcraft. The assumption is that this is […]

Anthony Rendon, Jo Adell Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (shin) and outfielder Jo Adell (oblique) have been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 11. Rendon has been sidelined since July 4 due to a bruised right shin. The organization was hopeful he'd be ready after the All-Star break, but sadly that wasn't the case. […]

Justin Turner Starting At Second Base

Boston Red Sox third baseman/designated hitter Justin Turner is getting the starting nod at second base on Friday against Chicago Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks to kick off the second half of the season. He's hitting third in the batting order. Turner will make his first start at the keystone since 2015 as the Red Sox […]

Evan Longoria Playing Third Base Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria will make the start at third base and hit sixth in the lineup on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Jose Berrios to kick off the second half of the season.

Rays-Royals Game Postponed Friday

The Tampa Bay Rays and Kansas City Royals will have to wait an extra day to get the second half of their seasons started, as their game on Friday has been postponed due to inclement weather. Right-hander Tyler Glasnow was scheduled to toe the rubber for the Rays, and he was going to be opposed […]

Brandon Dixon Starting At DH For Padres

San Diego Padres infielder Brandon Dixon is serving as the designated hitter and batting eighth in the lineup on Friday as the team kicks off the second half of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Dixon hit well against lefties in the minors at Triple-A El Paso, but so far he's […]

Jordan Westburg Shifts Over To Third Base

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg will move over to third base for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. The 24-year-old has made six starts at second base, while Friday's game marks his fifth time playing third base since being called up. It appears the O's want Westburg to get comfortable at both positions. He originally […]
