Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm (hamstring) underwent an MRI exam on Wednesday on his bothersome left hamstring, and the team is awaiting the results. Bohm is not in Wednesday's lineup against the division-rival New York Mets and is unsure if he'll need time on the injured list. The 26-year-old didn't play on Sunday against […]

Kevin Newman Getting An Opportunity In The Leadoff Spot Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Kevin Newman is getting a shot out of the leadoff spot Wednesday night against Red Sox left-hander James Paxton. It's just the second start of the season out of the leadoff spot for Newman who has logged four two-hit efforts with three doubles, three runs, five RBI, and a stolen base over […]

Jordan Westburg - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jordan Westburg, 2B/3B/SS, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: With a recent injury to Cedric Mullins, it's not out of the question to see Jordan Westburg brought up if Mullins lands on the IL. While Westburg has been primarily an infielder as a professional, he's had a little time in the outfield and is athletic enough to make […]

Alex Bregman Pops Seventh Homer In Win

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Astros' 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Bregman bounced back in May with a .262 average and four home runs after hitting just .219 with three home runs in April. He's certainly perked up a […]

New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a single in Tuesday's rehab game with Double-A Somerset. The veteran has been on the injured list since the beginning of April with a right hamstring strain, but he's hoping to rejoin the Yankees this weekend at the Dodgers. Donaldson saw a decline in […]

Max Muncy Back In Lineup Tuesday

As expected, Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday, playing third base and batting third in the order against the Washington Nationals and right-hander Jake Irvin. Muncy left Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays early on Saturday due to left-hamstring tightness and missed the last two […]

David Villar Sent To Triple-A On Tuesday

The San Francisco Giants have demoted infielder David Villar to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The 26-year-old has suffered a horrible season at the dish, slashing .135/.222/.292 with four homers, 10 runs, 11 RBI, and one steal across 32 games after posting a .787 OPS over 52 […]

Josh Rojas Out Of Tuesday's Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with Kyle Freeland and the Colorado Rockies. The 28-year-old is batting .243 with no home runs and six steals this season and has sat most games against left-handers, so he'll take a seat with southpaw Freeland on the mound. Emmanuel Rivera […]

Alec Bohm Returning On Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. He sat out of Sunday's contest versus the Atlanta Braves due to hamstring tightness. Luckily, it appears that was only a minor issue as Bohm will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. He'll […]

Tyler Nevin Promoted From Triple-A Toledo

Detroit Tigers infielder Tyler Nevin has been promoted from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday night's contest against the visiting Texas Rangers. The 26-year-old struggled in his go around with the big club this season as he hit just .091 with one homer and a .449 OPS in a rather small 27-plate-appearance sample. He's fared much […]

Minnesota Twins shortstop/third baseman Royce Lewis had a memorable return from the injured list in Monday's 7-5 extra-innings win over the Astros. Making his season debut, Lewis went 2-for-5 with a single, a three-run home run, and four RBI. The 23-year-old's return came one year after suffering an ACL tear in his right knee. Lewis […]

Max Muncy Expected To Return Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hamstring) wasn't in the team's starting lineup on Monday against the Washington Nationals and probably isn't available to play, but he's expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday. The Dodgers canceled an MRI exam on his left hamstring because they didn't think the injury warranted a scan. The […]

J.D. Davis Scores Twice Monday

San Francisco Giants third baseman J.D. Davis went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in a 14-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. Davis also walked twice and stole a base in the blowout win over the Pirates. The veteran's two-hit performance raises his batting average to .278 to go along with nine […]

Anthony Rendon Does Some Infield Work Monday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) took some grounders on the field on Monday ahead of his team's game against the Chicago White Sox. Rendon has been on the injured list since the middle of May but he is slowly ramping up baseball activities as he works his way back to the field. […]

Josh Donaldson To Play Rehab Game At Double-A Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) will play a rehab game for Double-A Somerset on Tuesday. Donaldson has been on the injured list since the beginning of April with a hamstring injury, although he is nearing a return to action. The veteran infielder is likely to be ready to return to the Yankees […]

Yoan Moncada Back In The Starting Lineup Monday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is back in the starting lineup Monday when the club opens up a series against Griffin Canning and the visiting Los Angeles Angels. Moncada didn't start Sunday's series finale in Detroit but did go hitless in his lone plate appearance later in the contest. The former top prospect […]

Aledmys Diaz Hitting Cleanup Monday

Oakland A's utility player Aledmys Diaz is hitting out of the cleanup spot Monday against Braves right-hander Michael Soroka, who happens to be making his season debut. It's a rare spot in the order for Diaz, as Monday marks just his second start of the season out of the four-hole while he is one of […]

Max Muncy Sitting Out Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Nationals due to a hamstring injury. Muncy left Sunday's contest with the Rays after just two plate appearances with the hamstring issue, and it will cost him Monday's series opener with Washington. It's been a big season for […]

Zach McKinstry Looking To Stay Hot Monday

Detroit Tigers utility man Zach McKinstry is leading off Monday's game against Nathan Eovaldi and the Texas Rangers. It's a tough matchup, but the 28-year-old has been superb with the bat over 44 games, slashing .295/.409/.451 with four home runs, 23 runs, 10 RBI, and 10 steals, and hit .391 over the last week.
