Champ or Chump: Alec Bohm

In this strange season where the Miami Marlins and Detroit Tigers look like plausible contenders, the teams that thought they should contend before the world turned upside down don't have the time to dilly dally. The Philadelphia Phillies have responded to this sense of urgency by summoning top prospect Alec Bohm from their alternate training […]

2020 K% Risers: Buy, Sell, or Hold

Heading into Thursday's action, most teams had played at least 15 games, officially passing the quarter-pole of the 2020 season and giving us a large group of players that have reached at least 60 plate appearances. This is an important milestone in terms of looking at strikeout rates, as the metric is one of the […]

Pirates and Reds Game On Saturday Postponed

Saturday's scheduled game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds has been postponed in the wake of one player on the Reds testing positive for COVID-19.

Cincinnati Reds Player Tests Positive For COVID-19

News broke in the early hours of this morning that a member of the Cincinnati Reds had tested positive for COVID-19.

San Francisco Giants infielder Donovan Solano rejoins the team’s lineup Friday against the A’s and left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Solano had been out of the mix since Aug. 10, yet he still leads the Majors with nine doubles. The early part of the 2020 year has been a breakout for the veteran, who is batting a […]

Alec Bohm To Adopt Everyday Role Upon Call-Up

Philadelphia Phillies first/third baseman Alec Bohm was brought up to make his Major League debut Thursday and the immediate question was about how much playing time he would receive.
