Sean Murphy Goes Deep Wednesday

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy remained with the club past the trade deadline, and he rewarded that decision by going deep off Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani in a 3-1 victory. He went 2-for-4 with three RBI in the game. Murphy now has a .757 OPS with 13 homers this year, but given […]

Joey Bart Dealing With Groin Injury

San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart (groin) was pulled from the game early on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers with slight groin tightness.

After the 3-for-4 performance, Bart is now […]

Omar Narvaez Placed On Injured List

The Milwaukee Brewers placed catcher Omar Narvaez (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left quadriceps strain and recalled catcher Mario Feliciano from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

Travis d'Arnaud Out With Stomach Bug

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (illness) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies due to a stomach bug. d'Arnaud was also out of the lineup on Tuesday.

Brandon Clarke May Come Off The Bench This Season

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke is the favorite to hold things down at the four spot until Jaren Jackson Jr. (foot) can return. However, considering head coach Taylor Jenkins values the boost the 25-year-old has provided off the bench since he entered the league in 2019, he may retain that role in 2022-23. Yet, with […]
