J.P. Crawford Reaches Four Times Saturday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford reached base four times against the Angels Saturday, going 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored against the Los Angeles Angels.

Paul Sewald Picks Up One-Out Save Friday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald appears to be firmly a part of the picture in terms of saves to start the second half of the year.

Chris Flexen Earns Ninth Win Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen picked up right where he left off before the all-star break Friday, throwing seven strong innings and only allowing one run on six hits and a walk against the Los Angeles Angels.

Jordy Mercer Has Two Hits In Return To Lineup

Washington Nationals infielder Jordy Mercer made his return to the Nationals lineup Friday, batting sixth and starting at third base, and he had a solid game, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI, and a run scored, though his contributions hardly mattered in the 24-8 blowout loss to the San Diego Padres. Mercer […]

Gerardo Parra Homers Off The Bench

Washington Nationals outfielder Gerardo Parra came off the bench to replace an injured Victor Robles Friday, and he delivered a three-run home run off San Diego Padres relief pitcher Miguel Diaz.

Erick Fedde Gets Crushed Friday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde didn't have his best outing Friday, to say the least, allowing six runs on three hits and four walks in just 1 1/3 innings en route to his seventh loss of the season.

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo got his second half off to a good start Friday, as he hit a two-run home run against starter Jordan Montgomery and the New York Yankees.

Tanner Houck Locks Down Three-Inning Save

Boston Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck collected his first save of the year Friday, throwing the last three innings of a 4-0 win over the New York Yankees. He allowed one hit and one walk and struck out three. It's an excellent start to this stint in the major leagues for Houck, who will be […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Doesn't Allow A Run Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez got his second half started on the right foot, allowing no runs on two hits and two walks over 5 2/3 innings against the New York Yankees Friday.

Evan White To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) will miss the rest of the season as he undergoes surgery. White was originally placed on the injured list March 14, but the team discovered that "the injury is more ominous than we thought" according to general manager Jerry DiPoto. This is a major setback for White, who […]

Marwin Gonzalez Goes On The Injured List

Boston Red Sox utility man Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, clearing room on the roster for outfielder Jarren Duran. This move was expected, as manager Alex Cora stated prior to the all-star break that Gonzalez was likely to miss time. Gonzalez will be eligible to return on July 23, […]

Rene Rivera Joins The Nationals

Washington Nationals catcher Rene Rivera is the newest member of the roster, as he was signed to a major league contract Friday.

Mariners Claim Ryan Weber Off Waivers

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Ryan Weber is the newest member of the team, as he was claimed off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers.

Jarren Duran Will Not Start Friday

Tanner Houck Will Join Red Sox For Second Half

Boston Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck will be called up to the major leagues and join the Red Sox roster for the second half of the season.

Hector Santiago Allows One Run In Spot Start

Seattle Mariners pitcher Hector Santiago made a spot start Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk in three innings to the Los Angeles Angels. He struck out one batter.

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez picked up two more hits Sunday, going 2-for-4 with two singles against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Hunter Renfroe Reaches Three Times To Close First Half

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe reached base three times Sunday, going 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, and a run scored against the Philadelphia Phillies. Renfroe has slowed down a bit of late, slashing only .185/.258/.333 in his last seven games after a torrid stretch, but he still enters the break with a robust […]

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts homered for the second game in a row Sunday, launching a solo shot off Philadelphia Phillies opening pitcher Brandon Kintzler.
