Steven Adams Quiet In Game 5 Win

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams was quiet in his 41 minutes of action in his club's massive Game 5 win over the Utah Jazz. Adams scored just six points on 2-for-6 shooting from the floor.

Francisco Cervelli Homers, Drives in Six on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli had a monster game against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a home run and six runs batted in.

Chance Sisco Goes Deep In Loss To Rays

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco provided the only power for his team during their April 25 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. It was his only hit of the night and it was a solo shot. It's too bad he couldn't help batterymate Alex Cobb, who promptly coughed it all back up and the O's […]

Auston Matthews Lacks Offensive Production In Series Loss

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews drew zero points again in Game 7, leaving his series total to only two points in seven games. Despite Matthews being easily their team's top center, his lack of offensive production ultimately was a large contributor in costing the Leafs the series. He finished the 2017-2018 season with 34 […]

Jonas Valanciunas Plays Inefficiently In Game 5

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas put up good counting stats but struggled shooting in Game 5 against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.

Valanciunas has been […]

Marcin Gortat Plays Well In Game 5

Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat recorded a double-double in Game 5 on Wednesday night versus the Toronto Raptors. Gortat scored 10 points, going 4-for-9 from the floor, with 12 rebounds. For the series so far, Gortat has shot 60 percent from the field, so in the limited chances Gortat gets, he usually converts. The player […]

Roldani Baldwin To Head To Salem On Thursday

Boston Red Sox catching prospect Roldani Baldwin (thumb) is scheduled to join High-A Salem on Thursday, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Baldwin suffered a broken right thumb on a hit by pitch in spring training. Baldwin had an offensive outburst in 2017 at Greenville, hitting .273 with 14 homers, 35 doubles, one […]

Alex Avila Not Starting On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Alex Avila is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. It comes one day after his best game of the season where he had three hits, including a home run. Avila has not had a great season, but hopefully his performance Tuesday is a step in the right direction. […]

John Henson is Doubtful for Game 6

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center John Henson (back) is doubtful for Thursday's Game 6 against the Boston Celtics. Henson did not travel with the team to Boston for Game 5.

Buster Posey Will Rest Wednesday Versus Nationals

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey will get a day of rest Wednesday afternoon versus the Nationals. Posey is in the middle of a slump with a .209 batting average over his last 43 at-bats.

Omar Narvaez, Trayce Thompson Starting Wednesday

With the Chicago White Sox giving catcher Welington Castillo and designated hitter Matt Davidson an off day, catcher Omar Narvaez and outfielder Trayce Thompson get starts. Neither Narvaez nor Thompson have started well this season. Narvaez is hitting a meager .160 with zero home runs in 30 plate appearances. Thompson is hitting just .167 in […]

Luis Valbuena, Rene Rivera Starting Wednesday

The Los Angeles Angels will start first baseman Luis Valbuena and catcher Rene Rivera Wednesday.

Max Stassi, Derek Fisher Starting for Astros Wednesday

The Houston Astros are sitting catcher Brian McCann and designated hitter Evan Gattis on Wednesday. Starting in their place are catcher Max Stassi and outfielder Derek Fisher. Stassi has been hitting well so far in 2018 and currently has a .294 batting average with two home runs, five runs and seven RBI in 40 plate […]

Zach Collins Picks Up Two Hits Monday

Chicago White Sox catching prospect Zach Collins has been off to a slow start for Double-A Birmingham in 2018 but turned in a good performance Tuesday. Collins went 2-for-4 with a run scored and four RBI. It was a much-needed game for the former first-round pick, who is hitting just .098 over his first 41 […]

Jorge Alfaro’s Struggles Cutting Into His Playing Time

Philadelphia Phillies catcher Jorge Alfaro started Tuesday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, a game they would lose. The 24-year-old went hitless in four plate appearances, striking out three times.
