Justin Turner At DH On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is at designated hitter on Sunday vs. the New York Mets. Turner was switched to DH because he has a tight hamstring, per manager Dave Roberts. It's not thought to be a serious issue but the team is being cautious, according to beat writer Jack Harris. Eddy Alvarez […]

Jeimer Candelario Exits Early On Sunday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) left Sunday's contest against the Yankees early after sustaining a left shoulder injury.

He was removed from the game shortly thereafter […]

Anthony Rendon Showing Improvement

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (wrist) is healing as expected after he visited with a doctor. The soreness and inflammation in his right wrist is subsiding, and Rendon could start baseball activities soon, but there's no timetable for his return. Rendon was put on the injured list on May 28, and he could […]

Luis Urias Remains Out Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias (thumb) remains out of the starting lineup on Sunday against the San Diego Padres.

The Texas Rangers recalled MLB Pipeline's number 76 prospect, third baseman Ezequiel Duran, on Saturday.

Miguel Andujar Has Requested A Trade

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar has requested a trade from the team, according to Ken Rosenthal. Rosenthal added that this is not the first time that the 27-year-old has asked for a trade due to his "lack of consistent opportunity."

Alex Bregman Returns To The Lineup On Saturday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is back in the lineup on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. After receiving a routine day off, the 28-year-old did not appear in Friday's series opener.

The Texas Rangers are calling up No. 4 prospect Ezequiel Duran from Double-A Frisco on Saturday.

DJ LeMahieu Not Starting Against Tigers

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers.

Jose Miranda Homers Twice On Friday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda had the best game of his young career in Friday's 9-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. He went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in the game. The 23-year-old rookie was initially called up at the start of May and looked overmatched for the […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/4/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We had yet another very high-scoring slate on Friday night, which was probably to be expected with some aces on the hill and some really good offenses with good match-ups, too. If your lineups are scoring a bunch of points and you're still only min-cashing, don't fret! You're in good company because I have had […]

Miguel Andujar Heading To Minors

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar has been optioned to Triple-A on Friday. He went 1-for-5 during Friday's victory over the Detroit Tigers. Afterwards, the Yankees decided it was time to send him back to the minors. He was hitting .268/.279/.317 with no homers, three RBI in 12 games. The organization hasn't made a […]

Gio Urshela Leaves With Injury Friday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Gio Urshela was removed from his team's game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night. Urshela appeared to injure himself during a pickoff play during the contest.

Alex Bregman Getting A Day Off Friday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman will be on the bench for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. According to manager Dusty Baker, this was a planned day of rest for Bregman, who has started the last 13 games for Houston. The 28-year-old has been struggling a bit at the dish recently, going hitless […]

Josh Donaldson Back From Injured List And Starting Friday

New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson (shoulder) was activated from the injured list on Friday and is playing third base and batting cleanup against Detroit Tigers right-hander Elvin Rodriguez.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Gorman (back) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He has missed each of the last three games due to back stiffness.

Jace Peterson wound up making the start at third base for the game. Counsell didn't go into details on the severity of Brosseau's injury so he should be considered day-to-day […]

Nolan Gorman Expected To Return On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman (back) is expected to be back in the starting lineup for Friday's day game against the Chicago Cubs. Gorman was held out of each of the last two games due to lower-back tightness. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol stated that Gorman came through his pregame work on Thursday fine […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/3/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Sometimes you just have to load up on the Coors Field game and sometimes you just fade it. Last night, I hope you played the chalky Braves because they ended up hanging 13 on Colorado, while the Rockies still managed to score six in defeat. We have another Coors game on this 12-game slate, but […]

Evan Longoria Out Of The Lineup Again On Thursday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (shoulder) will be held out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Thursday as the team takes on right-hander Sandy Alcantara and the Miami Marlins.
