Zach Neto Scratched On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It appears the 22-year-old is dealing with back tightness. Halos manager Phil Nevin said the team is hopeful it's just a minor issue and Neto only misses one game because of it. In […]

Corey Seager Officially Placed On Injured List

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (thumb) has been officially placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. As expected, Seager will miss some time after jamming his thumb while sliding into second base during Friday's game. Luckily, the MRI came back clean, so his IL stint shouldn't be too long. Ezequiel Duran should serve as […]

Geraldo Perdomo Taking A Seat On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. Left-hander Brandon Williamson is getting the start for the Reds so the switch-hitting Perdomo will start this contest on the bench, as has been the case for most of the season whenever the D-Backs face a southpaw. The […]

Corey Seager Is Not In The Lineup On Saturday

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (thumb) is not in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran shortstop sprained his thumb on a slide into second base during Friday's loss to the Dodgers so he'll be sitting out on Saturday and possibly Sunday as well.
