Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta pitched five uneven innings against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday, allowing five runs, four of which were earned.

Matt Barnes Records Another Save Thursday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes recorded his tenth save of the year Thursday night, getting all three outs via strikeout and only allowing a two-out walk to pinch-hitter Rowdy Tellez. Barnes now has a 2.53 ERA and .56 WHIP on the year, with an even-more-impressive 35 strikeouts in 20 1/3 innings. He's a […]

Jacob Nottingham Acquired By Seattle From Milwaukee

Seattle Mariners catcher Jacob Nottingham is back with the Mariners after once again being claimed off waivers from the Brewers.

Luis Torrens Optioned To Triple-A

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma Thursday. Torrens has seen plenty of action this season splitting time with Tom Murphy behind the plate, but the results have been less than ideal.

Jose Marmolejos Designated For Assignment

Seattle Mariners first baseman Jose Marmolejos has been designated for assignment Friday.

He can be safely dropped […]

Danny Santana Expected To Join Red Sox Friday

Boston Red Sox utility man Danny Santana is expected to join the major league team on Friday in Philadelphia.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday night with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers. He has been out since April 7 with a hamstring strain.

Kike Hernandez Homers, Scores Twice Wednesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez had a big day at the plate Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, and two runs scored. In just his second game since returning from a hamstring injury, Hernandez led off, played center field, and certainly made his presence felt. He's now slashing .254/.308/.459 for […]

Kyle Lewis Strikes Out Three Times Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts Tuesday against Spencer Turnbull and the Detroit Tigers. Turnbull had it all working in this one, but that doesn't change the fact that Lewis is three for his last twenty with eight strikeouts. Lewis's seven walks in that span have kept his OBP palatable, but […]

Jarred Kelenic Steals First Career Base

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic was one of only two Mariners to reach base against Detroit Tigers starter Spencer Turnbull on Tuesday, drawing a walk to lead off the bottom of the fourth inning.

J.D. Martinez Goes Hitless, Leaves Five On Base

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez has been excellent all season, slashing .333/.410/.590 through 156 at-bats, but he has been in a bit of a dry spell in the extra-base category.

Taylor Trammell Is Raking At Triple-A

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell was sent down to the minors to make room for uber-prospect Jarred Kelenic, and since that time he has done nothing but hit. In five games at Triple-A Tacoma, Trammell has 14 hits in 22 at-bats, with four homers, 16 RBI, and six runs scored. That all adds up to […]
