Must-Add Category Streamers for the Final Stretch
Sadly, just 10 days of baseball remain in the MLB regular season and the fantasy season. At least the commissioner was nice enough to let everyone into the postseason, so there'll be plenty more ball games on the tube to watch. Unfortunately, fantasy leagues don't work that way. You're in the last leg of the […]
Jorge Soler Takes Live At-Bats Thursday
Kansas City Royals designated hitter Jorge Soler (oblique) took live at-bats on Thursday without suffering any setbacks. The 28-year-old is inching closer to a return, with a workout scheduled on Friday.

Kansas City Options Jakob Junis To Alternate Site
Kansas City Royals right-handed pitcher Jakob Junis was expected to be a cornerstone of the club’s starting rotation in 2020, but he was optioned to the club’s alternate site Wednesday, likely ending his year at the big league level, barring injuries.

The former All-Star will […]
