MLB Player News

Falter was only able to pitch in two games to begin the season before being placed on the injured list with elbow irritation. The southpaw will likely need a couple of appearances before being ready to potentially help the Kansas City staff near the end of April.

With the Rays throwing left-hander Shane McClanahan, the Yankees will play Max Schuemann in center field and have Grisham on the bench. In five games since coming off the injured list, Grisham has gone 4-for-18 with two doubles, a home run, five runs scored, two RBI, and a steal. He also has a 58 percent hard-hit rate in that incredibly small sample size, so he should heat up again with more at-bats under his belt.

Volpe had sat the last two games with Jose Caballero playing shortstop, but Caballero will move to second base on Wednesday and Jazz Chisholm Jr. will get a day off. Earlier this season, Volpe became the first player in MLB history with over 1,800 plate appearances and an on-base percentage under .285. His defense at shortstop has improved this year, but he’s not giving the Yankees much else.

Irvin was placed on the injured list on May 24th with a right shoulder strain. He faced hitters on the field on Wednesday and could begin a rehab assignment as soon as next week if his arm responds well to the live batting practice session.

The 40th overall pick from the 2019 MLB Draft has a 7.15 ERA in 11 1/3 innings this season and an 8.20 ERA in his 26 1/3 career MLB innings.

Trivino had given up four runs on three hits in two innings in July. He will get a breather and hope that the muscle spasm can calm down over time.

Rangel was sent down just four days ago, but he can be called back up since the team put Lou Trivino (thoracic muscle spasm) on the injured list. Rangel has a 3.38 ERA in 16 innings with the Phillies and will start on Wednesday against the Reds.

Keller has been out since June 16th with forearm tendinitis. He wil return to a 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 31/12 K/BB ratio across 30 1/3 innings out of the bullpen.

The Mets were counting on Myers to provide length out of their bullpen this season, but he has pitched to a 6.21 ERA in 42 innings. His results were much better in nine innings at Triple-A, so the team will hope he can carry that over into his MLB innings.

The 27-year-old had a 4.74 ERA in 49 1/3 innings in Triple-A, operating primarily as a starter. He figures to pitch in bulk relief work for the Mets.

It’s a tough 24 hours for Seelinger. The 31-year-old Long Island native made his MLB debut with the Mets on Tuesday but was thrust into a 9-9 game because the rest of the team couldn’t stop the Royals from scoring. Seelinger then allowed seven runs on five hits in two innings and has now been let go.
