Adrian Beltre Strains Hamstring

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre left Tuesday's game against Oakland with a strained left hamstring. The Rangers third baseman will be further evaluated on Wednesday.

Travis Shaw Has 1.565 OPS In Last Seven Games

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in the 5-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. While Shaw has relatively kept his batting average around .275 this year, his lack of home run hitting and power was quite concerning considering he had drilled 31 bombs last season. In his […]

Washington Nationals infielder Adrian Sanchez will make his 2018 major league debut at third base on Tuesday and bat seventh.

San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva (hamstring) is out again Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies. Villanueva was a late scratch on Monday, so Tuesday's absence is a surprise.

Josh Donaldson Nearing Rehab Assignment

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson has been on the disabled list since April 13 (retroactive to April 11) due to inflammation in his right shoulder.

Colin Moran Sitting On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran is out of the lineup against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. Moran is scuffling a bit over his previous nine games, batting only .179/.200/.250 in his last 30 plate appearances. He also hasn't homered since April 2, so manager Clint Hurdle may just want his young third baseman to […]

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Logan Forsythe (shoulder) has resume throwing on Monday. He's been battling a shoulder issue since spring training. The Dodgers originally thought Forsythe would be ready to return when he's first eligible on April 25, but that is obviously not going to happen. Forsythe struggled last season with the Dodgers, but does […]

Ryon Healy Could Return Next Week

Seattle Mariners corner infielder Ryon Healy (ankle) went 1 for 3 with a walk and two runs scored in his second rehab game with Double-A Arkansas on Monday. He says his ankle feels great, but also that he's going to need plenty of at-bats to get his timing down before rejoining the Mariners. The 26-year-old […]
