Eduardo Nunez To Play Third Base Tuesday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said infielder Eduardo Nunez will play third base over Rafael Devers in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Tuesday against Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel. It makes sense with Devers hitting just .229/.272/.347 with three of his 21 homers against lefties on the year, but is just […]

It was not necessarily unexpected as Shaw was basically a .200 hitter versus lefties with only […]

Nick Senzel Out 4-6 Weeks

Recent reports that the Chicago Cubs offered third baseman Kris Bryant "a massive extension" worth "well north of $200 million" are "simply not true," according to sources. Bryant remains under control through the 2021 season, so there has been no rush on either side to work out a contract extension yet. A left shoulder injury […]

The San Diego Padres fired hitting coach Matt Stairs on Tuesday. The Padres will be searching for their 10th hitting coach in 15 years after another terrible season at the dish.

Miguel Sano Could Play Winter Ball; Byron Buxton Will Not

The Minnesota Twins are hoping that third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) will play winter ball in the Dominican Republic, but outfielder Byron Buxton will not play winter ball.
