Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (left elbow contusion) is riding the pine Saturday after he took a pitch to his elbow on Friday evening.

Ryan Zimmerman's Lingering Back Issue Lands Him On Designated List

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (back) has been placed on the 10-day DL.
