Greg Garcia Activated From the Paternity List

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Greg Garcia was activated from the paternity list on Thursday. The utility infielder ended up missing just two games. He'll return to a .254/.325/.388 line and continue working as a backup at all of the infield positions. Preston Guilmet was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Yasiel Puig and Justin Turner Out Of Thursday's Lineup

A couple of regulars are getting a day of rest Thursday when the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Outfielder Yasiel Puig and third baseman Justin Turner are both out of the lineup against right-hander Jameson Taillon. It's a routine day of rest in both cases, but it's worth mentioning that both Puig […]

Miguel Sano And Max Kepler Out, Logan Morrison In Thursday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano and outfielder Max Kepler are out of the lineup on Thursday while Logan Morrison (back) will return. Morrison had missed the past three games with back stiffness. Sano will be replaced at third base by Eduardo Escobar while Robbie Grossman is in right field.

Adrian Beltre Expected Back In The Lineup Thursday

Texas Ranges third baseman Adrian Beltre should return to the Rangers lineup on Thursday. Beltre received a day off on Wednesday but should be the designated hitter again on Thursday, according to manager Jeff Bannister. The Rangers are extremely committed to keeping Beltre healthy, as he has played third base just once since returning from […]

Andrelton Simmons to DL with Ankle Injury

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) was not listed on Wednesday's lineup card. With Kaleb Cowart back, it sounds like Simmons has been placed on the disabled list. Expect Zack Cozart, who is starting at shortstop on Wednesday, to continue to do so in Simmons' absence. Cowart is likely just infield depth, although he […]

Anthony Rendon Goes 4-for-5 in Nationals Win Wednesday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon had his first four-hit performance of 2018 on Wednesday afternoon, finishing 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles in the Nationals 11-2 rout of the Rays. Rendon set season highs with four hits and four runs scored while tying his season bests with two doubles and three RBI. It was […]

Jeimer Candelario is Available Off The Bench

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (finger) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. However, Candelario is available off the bench to pinch hit if asked. He was pulled from Tuesday's contest after jamming his right index finger. The X-rays came back negative, so it sounds like a […]

Jeimer Candelario Out of Lineup Wednesday Night

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (finger) is not in the Tigers starting lineup Wednesday night against the Red Sox. Candelario was taken out of Tuesday's game after injuring his right index finger. Ronny Rodriguez will make a spot start at third base and will hit ninth against Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Ronny should […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Gets Back In Hit Column

New York Mets infielder Asdrubal Cabrera has struggled a little bit as of late, but he got back on the hit train on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. It may have only been one hit (a single) but beggars can’t be choosers, right? It was Cabrera’s first hit since June 1, and he’s watched his […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Only Expected To Miss A Few Days

Toronto Blue Jays prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left Wednesday’s game early with a leg injury but is thankfully only expected to miss a day or two. The injury seemed to occur running the bases, but of course he did miss a few games prior with a leg injury as well. Fortunately, it seems like there’s […]

Mets Have Discussed Releasing Jose Reyes

The New York Mets have apparently discussed releasing infielder Jose Reyes. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the team is “conflicted” given Reyes’ history with the ball club and would like to give him a “proper sendoff.” A proper sendoff would be great if Reyes weren’t hitting .141/.208/.197, and if the Mets […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Leaves With Injury On Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left Wednesday’s game at Double-A New Hampshire with some sort of injury after returning to the lineup on Tuesday after missing a few games with a left leg injury. An aggravation of the injury seems possible, but we don’t know that for sure yet. Keep your fingers crossed for […]

Wilmer Difo Becoming an Interesting Deep League Option

Washington Nationals second baseman Wilmer Difo has quietly become an interesting deep league fantasy option in 2018. Difo hit .282 with three home runs and an .810 OPS over 25 games in May, and he has hit two triples while driving in three runs and scoring three runs over his first four games in June. […]

Nicholas Castellanos Hits 20th Double

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos had another multi-hit game on Tuesday, his 16th such effort since May 1. One of the hits was a double, his 20th of the season. Castellanos has yet to show much home run power, having hit just six dingers thus far, but he's been an offensive force nonetheless. When […]

Jeimer Candelario Day-To-Day With Jammed Finger

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario exited Tuesday's contest early with a jammed finger and is considered day-to-day. After an errant throw to first in the fourth inning, Candelario was removed and sources told reporters he would receive X-rays on his right middle finger. Those X-rays came back negative, so he shouldn't miss significant time. […]

Todd Frazier Hitless In Queens Comeback

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier made his return to the lineup on Tuesday, and unlike reliever Anthony Swarzak, this comeback wasn’t as successful. In a 2-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, Frazier put up a goose egg by finishing 0-for-4. It's not the end of the world for a guy who missed over […]

Three-Game Hit Streak For Yangervis Solarte

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Yangervis Solarte slowed down a bit after tearing the cover off the ball for a while, but perhaps he’s working his way back into a hot streak. Solarte may have only finished 1-for-4 in a 7-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday, but his lone hit (a single) puts […]

Adrian Beltre Crushes Second Home Run Of Season

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre hit his second home run of the season on Tuesday. Beltre was making his fourth start -- his third at designated hitter -- since returning from the disabled list. Beltre's bat has yet to fully heat back up since his return, with just three hits in 16 plate appearances. […]
