MLB Player News

White was removed from the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Padres with an apparent chest injury, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

White appeared to grab his chest area after an at-bat in the top of the second inning, and he was replaced by Jose Marmolejos defensively in the bottom of the third inning. It's unclear whether White will be available for the second game of Thursday's twin bill.

Calhoun isn't in Thursday's lineup against the Rockies.

With southpaw Kyle Freeland on the mound for Colorado on Thursday, Calhoun will get a day off. Tim Locastro will start in right field.

General manager Al Avila implied that Torkelson will not make his big-league debut in 2020, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

This isn't all too surprising, as the Tigers have no reason to rush their 2020 No. 1 overall pick to the majors. In the meantime, he'll continue his development at the team's alternate camp site.

Votto is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Brewers.

Votto was originally set to sit out Wednesday, but the Reds-Brewers game was one of three MLB contests postponed after players deciding to sit out in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis. Assuming Thursday's doubleheader goes on as scheduled, Votto will get a breather in the front end of the twin bill before presumably checking back in as the Reds' first baseman for the second contest.

Voit went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Atlanta. He followed with an 0-for-3 performance in Game 2.

On a day in which the vaunted Yankees offense managed a mere two runs in 14 innings, Voit provided one of the few highlights with a solo shot to right field in the early contest. The blast marked the first baseman's fifth straight game with a homer, establishing a career best. Voit wasn't able to continue the streak in Game 2, but he still leads the Yankees with 11 home runs, 58 total bases, 21 RBI and 17 runs scored on the season.

Tellez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI as he led the Blue Jays to a 9-1 win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Tellez had an exceptional night at the plate Wednesday with his first multi-homer game of the season. The 25-year-old had a solo shot in the second inning before going deep once again in the fourth. Despite his breakout game, Tellez continues to regularly sit against left-handed pitching and should still not be counted on as an everyday player.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored as he helped guide the Blue Jays to a 9-1 win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Guerrero doubled once in the fourth and a second time in the seventh, when he was able to clear the bases for three RBI. Wednesday's effort extended Guerrero's hitting streak to nine games as the young third/first baseman is now hitting .255/.333/.445 on the season with four home runs and 13 RBI as he continues to pick it up at the plate following a slumping start to the campaign.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Pirates.

Abreu finished off the scoring with a two-run shot in the seventh inning. The blast was his 12th of the season, tying him with Fernando Tatis for the MLB lead, and extended his hitting streak to 10 games. He's gone 19-for-40 with nine homers, 18 RBI and a 1.748 OPS during the streak.

Walker went 3-for-4 with a double and four RBI in Wednesday's 8-7 loss to Colorado.

Walker delivered runs in the fourth, eighth and ninth innings as the Diamondbacks found their offense late in the game after a stretch of run-producing futility. He had gone 11 games and 47 plate appearances without an RBI before knocking in six over the last three games.

Freeman went 2-for-6 with two runs scored, a home run and two RBI across both games of the team's doubleheader Wednesday against the Yankees.

Freeman reached base once in the first contest of the day. However, the highlight came in the bottom of the sixth inning of the second game, when he delivered a game-winning two-run homer. It was his fifth long ball of the season. His performance also extended his hitting streak to eight games, during which he's homered twice, driven in seven and scored eight runs. Overall, Freeman is hitting .304/.423/.569 across 123 plate appearances on the campaign.
