Byron Buxton Resting On Memorial Day

Minnesota Twins outfielder/designated hitter Byron Buxton will start on the bench on Memorial Day on Monday against the Houston Astros.

The 29-year-old […]

A's Designate Jesus Aguilar For Assignment

The Oakland Athletics designated first baseman/designated hitter Jesus Aguilar for assignment on Monday, according to sources.

Juan Soto Scratched With Back Tightness On Sunday

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto (back) has been scratched from Sunday's lineup due to back tightness.

Jose Azocar is starting in left […]

New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) could see another minor-league rehab game on Tuesday before joining the team, per manager Aaron Boone.

Giancarlo Stanton Could Begin Rehab Assignment Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) could begin his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday, and he isn't being ruled out yet for the series next weekend on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Anthony Santander Getting The Day Off On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Texas Rangers.
