Jose Ramirez Goes Hitless Again on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez finished Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels 0-for-5 with a walk. At least he got on base, right?

Johan Camargo To Start Rehab Assignment On Thursday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo (oblique) will probably go to Class A and if he shows the team he can play an entire game with no problem, they may activate him over the weekend, though they were coy about whether he'd play more than one game in the minors. Ryan Flaherty played on Wednesday […]

Josh Donaldson Goes Deep Again

Any concerns over Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson’s shoulder/arm should be just about gone. At least when it comes to his ability to hit, anyway.
