Spencer Strider will start for Braves in final game of Rockies series

Yesterday when Walt Weiss was willing to give updates on basically every single relevant Braves player making their way back from injury, one of the biggest stories was the fact that the team was expecting Spencer Strider to return to the rotation by the weekend series against the Colorado Rockies. As it turns out, we […]

Jasson Domínguez needs imaging after leaving game with elbow injury

There haven’t been a whole bunch of health issues with the Yankees this season, but the last few days haven’t been so kind. Jasson Domínguez, playing in just his third game of the season after being recalled to replace the injured Giancarlo Stanton as the team’s primary DH, was removed from Wednesday’s game against the […]

BreakingT is over the Mune!

In response to the fever that has broken out all over the South Side, our friends at BreakingT have come up with a nifty little design celebrating the awesomeness of slugger Munetaka Murakami: You gotta admit, it’s a pretty impossibly clever design, with the moon “O” and a bit of a nod to silent film […]

Giants add RHP Gregory Santos, option Blade Tidwell

Game #30 GameThread: Red Sox @ Jays

So we have an afternoon game. Game three of Three with the Red Sox. Then the Jays fly off to Minnesota to play the Twins for four games. George Springer is back, but not in the lineup. That seems strange to me. Why put him on the roster if he isn’t going to play? Jays, […]

Jays Roster Move: George Springer Back, Eloy Jiménez DFAed

George Springer is back from the IL and Eloy Jiménez has been DFAed to make room. Jiménez was hitting .290/.343/.290 in 35 PA with no extra base hits. I’ll admit to being surprised, I figured it would be Yohendrick Pinago heading back to Buffalo, but if Eloy isn’t hitting for power, he doesn’t have much […]
