Josh Donaldson Takes At-Bats On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson took some at-bats at the clubs training facility on Tuesday and looked very good. Donaldson has been absent for most of time with his new club and has been dealing with a strained calf since August 4. Donaldson was struggling in the seven games he played, but he has […]

Yankees Call Up Miguel Andujar On Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman and outfielder Miguel Andujar was called up from the team’s alternate site on Tuesday. Playing time isn’t readily available at third base or in the outfield despite Andujar’s call-up, so it’s unlikely that the 25-year-old will find his way into regular playing time. That being said, the Yankees have toyed […]

Andres Gimenez Placed On Injured List For Undisclosed Reason

New York Mets infielder Andres Gimenez was placed on the injured list for an undisclosed reason on Tuesday. The team is not specifying which injured list Gimenez is going on.

Chicago Cubs third baseman David Bote continues to perform well in place of Kris Bryant (wrist). Bote went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and run scored. Bote is only hitting .210 on the season, but he has a knack for performing at the right time and now has 15 RBI on the season. […]

Isaac Paredes Out Of Monday’s Starting Lineup

Detroit Tigers third baseman Isaac Paredes will not start Monday’s contest against Chicago and right-hander Alec Mills, with Willi Castro manning the hot corner in his stead.

Astros-Angels Thursday Contest Shifted To Tuesday
