Alec Bohm Homers And Steals In Win Versus Mets

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm hit a three-run homer and stole a base in a win over the Mets on Wednesday. Bohm has now hit safely in four straight games and swiped two bags so far this season. The 24-year-old was the top-prospect in the Phillies organization last year and backed it up batting […]

Kyle Seager Breaks Out Wednesday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had a big day Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored. Most of the damage came as part of a seven-run sixth inning, when Seager came to the plate with the bases loaded and promptly doubled to clear them. It's a good sign to see Seager […]

J.D. Davis Day-To-Day After X-Rays Come Back Negative

New York Mets third baseman J.D. Davis (hand) is day-to-day after additional X-rays on Wednesday came back negative, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo.

Jose Ramirez Homers Twice Wednesday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 2-for-4 with two two-run home runs in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kansas City Royals.

Yoan Moncada Absent From Wednesday’s Lineup

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada will rest on Wednesday versus the Seattle Mariners. Moncada has been off to a slow start in 2021 and is just 4-for-22 with 12 strikeouts on the season.
