The Boston Red Sox are going to turn effective, yet unremarkable, starter Justin Masterson into a short relief specialist for the second half of the season (and the playoffs), I would assume. What does this mean to you? Well, if you were riding the wave of Masterson, it is safe to jump off that ship now. He was 4-3…

Starting on Saturday June 14th, we are going to be having a change in structure at least on a demo basis. Instead of this Beyond the Boxscore article every night, we will be making a post for each news item and posting them as they become relevant. I am very interested to get all of your feedback either by email (love my emailers!) or you can post a comment…

The second start for Joba Chamberlain, although still not long, was much better than the first. Honestly, I think if they Yankees were going to limit the number of pitches he was going to throw so much, they should have had him stretch out in the minors and then come up when he was ready to throw an actual game.

Daisuke Matsuzaka left yesterday’s Redsox game at the start of the fifth inning. It was first believed to…

Max Scherzer, Arizona Diamondbacks
Scherzer was called up to the big leagues today, although it is not certain in what capacity he will serve. He might get a start if Micah Owings’ injured ankle makes him unable to go, but nothing has been announced yet. If Scherzer has a spot in the Arizona rotation, grab him up.
The top story of the day I guess is the change in the bullpen in Colorado. It was made official today that
Brian Fuentes would be reinstated as Rockies closer, so all of you with Manny Corpas on your roster had better act fast (I already did). We covered in our article yesterday Corpas’ recent struggles, and they appeared…
