Renato Nunez Hits Sixth Home Run Of Season Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles first/third baseman Renato Nunez had an encouraging day at the plate in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Rays. Nunez went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run (his sixth of the season) and two strikeouts. The HR was nice to see, as Nunez has been relatively slumping lately, batting .258 with a […]

Astros-Angels Wednesday Game Pushed To September

The Astros and Angels were scheduled to play again on Wednesday after a doubleheader on Tuesday, but the game has been pushed back to September 5 due to concerns surrounding Hurricane Laura. The teams were already expected to be in the midst of a series on September 5, and that day will now include a […]

Matt Chapman Hit In Head, Stays In Game

Oakland A’s third baseman Matt Chapman was hit in the head by a 91 mph fastball in the fourth inning of Tuesday’s game. Chapman stayed in the game, so it seems as though he’s avoided a significant injury and a trip to the injured list. Chapman has enjoyed a productive season so far this year, […]

Travis Shaw Departs Tuesday’s Contest Early

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Travis Shaw was removed from Tuesday’s contest against Boston, although it was not readily apparent as to why he departed. Joe Panik entered the game in his stead, with Brandon Drury shifting over to the hot corner. After popping out in his only plate appearance Tuesday, Shaw dropped his slash […]

Yankees-Braves Contest Postponed Tuesday, DH Wednesday

The New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves had their game Tuesday night rained out, with a doubleheader now scheduled for Wednesday. The game had particular appeal as both Aaron Judge and Ronald Acuna Jr. were returning off of the injured list, in addition to Gerrit Cole and Braves prospect Ian Anderson (making his Major League […]

Colin Moran, Kevin Newman Active, But Remain Absent Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran and shortstop Kevin Newman have been cleared to play Tuesday against the White Sox but neither is among the club’s starting nine. Erik Gonzalez holds down the shortstop spot, while JT Riddle gets the start at the hot corner, though neither present particularly appealing DFS options due to their […]

Justin Turner Returns To Lineup To Face Giants

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (hamstring) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against Johnny Cueto and the San Francisco Giants and bat second. Turner left Sunday’s contest early with a minor hamstring injury, but it was never considered anything serious. Turner will be in the number three spot and owners shouldn’t hesitate […]

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. Gimenez has had a breakout rookie campaign in 2020 acting as both an offensive and defensive spark plug for the team, despite recent struggles at […]

David Bote Goes Yard On Monday

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. Paredes has gotten off to a hot start to his big league career, having driven in six runs in his first six games. At just 21 years old, […]

Astros-Angels Thursday Contest Shifted To Tuesday

The Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels have had their game scheduled for Thursday moved up to Tuesday due to concerns surrounding Tropical Storm Laura, which is headed for Texas.
