Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This marks the second day in a row that Rooker has sat out for rest purposes.

Max Muncy Expected To Return Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hamstring) wasn't in the team's starting lineup on Monday against the Washington Nationals and probably isn't available to play, but he's expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday. The Dodgers canceled an MRI exam on his left hamstring because they didn't think the injury warranted a scan. The […]

Aledmys Diaz Hitting Cleanup Monday

Oakland A's utility player Aledmys Diaz is hitting out of the cleanup spot Monday against Braves right-hander Michael Soroka, who happens to be making his season debut. It's a rare spot in the order for Diaz, as Monday marks just his second start of the season out of the four-hole while he is one of […]

Max Muncy Sitting Out Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Nationals due to a hamstring injury. Muncy left Sunday's contest with the Rays after just two plate appearances with the hamstring issue, and it will cost him Monday's series opener with Washington. It's been a big season for […]

Paul Blackburn Activated, Starting On Monday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Paul Blackburn (finger) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday. The right-hander missed the first two months of the regular season due to a right thumbnail injury he suffered in spring training. He posted a 4.28 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, with 89 strikeouts over 111.1 innings last season. Blackburn […]

A's Designate Jesus Aguilar For Assignment

The Oakland Athletics designated first baseman/designated hitter Jesus Aguilar for assignment on Monday, according to sources. Aguilar gets the boot off the team's 40-man roster after hitting .221 (23-for-104) with two doubles, five home runs and nine RBI in 36 games played.
