Pirates Reloaded: Meet the Battlin' Bucs' Rookies - Oneil Cruz, Travis Swaggerty, Roansy Contreras, Jack Suwinski and more

Let me start by saying it's hard to be a fan of a sports franchise that is perpetually bad. I know this because I am a long-suffering Pirates fan and in my 39 years on this Earth I have only been able to enjoy a few winning seasons. I was just a young tyke when […]

Nick Ahmed To Have Shoulder Surgery

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (shoulder) will have surgery on his shoulder, and manager Torey Lovullo "remains hopeful" that Ahmed can return at some point this year.

Jorge Polanco Sitting With Back Soreness Monday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (back) is being held out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Luis Arraez will be covering the keystone for the game.

Marcus Semien Enjoying Productive Stretch

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien is batting .217 with a .278 on-base percentage, six home runs, and 10 stolen bases in 259 plate appearances this season, but he may be starting to turn things around based on his recent play. The veteran is hitting .304 with a .377 on-base percentage, and six home runs […]

Javier Baez Struggling At The Plate For Detroit

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is off to a slow start this season.

Gleyber Torres Finding His Old Swing

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres has been working to find his swing after he hit too many ground balls last season.
