Martin Prado Exits With Hamstring Tightness

Miami Marlins third baseman Martin Prado was forced from Wednesday's game early after limping while attempting to run out a ground ball. The team is calling it right hamstring tightness, and he's considered day-to-day. Prado was 1-for-2 with a run in this one as he's hitting a soft .239 on the year with a homer […]

No "Significant Damage" In Nolan Arenado's Arm

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado left Wednesday's game early after getting beaned in the left arm by Cubs starter Cole Hamels. Manager Bud Black told reporters that the X-rays didn't show any "significant damage," which seems vague, likely meaning that there's a minor issue. Arenado likely avoided a major injury, but we shouldn't rule […]

Javier Baez Crushes Home Run

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI on Wednesday versus the Rockies. Baez hit his 17th home run on the season and now has 46 RBI to go along with a .297 batting average and a .907 OPS. Baez remains one of the most exciting players in the […]

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a 7-2 win over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday.
