Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford announced Tuesday that he has a torn oblique and doesn't currently have a timetable for his return to the field.

Former MLB player and manager Kirk Gibson revealed Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Mark Snyder of the Detroit Free Press has more:

Hanley Ramirez is having a blast with the Red Sox, smacking eight home runs so far in his first month with the team.

He made his "I See You" goggles famous during his time in Los Angeles with the Dodgers, and they seem to fit just fine now in Boston.

With riots continuing on the streets of Baltimore, the Orioles' scheduled home game against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday has been postponed. The Orioles later announced that Wednesday's game will be played at Camden Yards but will be closed to the public.

They provided the full details of the schedule changes, including makeup dates for the postponements Monday and Tuesday, via a press release:

The Atlanta Braves spent a great deal of the offseason overhauling the roster to change their style of play, find some leadership and build toward the future.

The new roster got the Braves off to a hot start in 2015 but has since cooled to around the .500 mark.

Playing .500 baseball is likely the ceiling for this 2015 team, but with some luck and elevated play, it could push for a wild-card spot.

This will depend on many factors, with one of those being the play and leadership of their offseason acquisitions.

Baseball's non-waiver trade deadline might still be three months away, but it's never too early to take a look at the biggest names that could potentially be on the move as it draws near.

While teams are able to make trades in April and May, baseball's "trade season" typically doesn't begin until mid-June, when clubs have a better idea of who they are, where they stand and what they need to get where they want to go.

Baseball is a tough sport to predict on a long-term basis, as much can change in a year. Injuries, unexpected steps forward and backward by established players, and the yearly influx of rookies leave the MLB landscape looking significantly different on a year-in and year-out basis.

With that being said, what follows is my prediction of who will be the 25 best players in MLB when the 2020 season rolls around five years from now.

Have a great start to the week on Monday in MLB daily fantasy? Time to get right back at it. Things didn't go so well to kick off this series? Nothing heals those wounds like winning the next day with a brand-new lineup.

Regardless of the current situation, Tuesday night provides plenty of opportunities to come away with a victory. Before the first pitch is thrown, take a look at these strategic picks to create a perfect lineup and take down any opponent.

There's a new Mike Trout roaming the baseball landscape early in 2015. And so far, he looks suspiciously like the old Mike Trout, who most everyone knew and loved as the game's best player.

That's the takeaway you get when looking at Trout's numbers. In 19 games, the Los Angeles Angels Angels center fielder is slashing .318/.432/.545 with four home runs, five stolen bases and a .978 OPS.

To say the Houston Astros have been bad since arriving in the American League West is an understatement of Texas-sized proportions.

In 2012, the year the Astros ditched the senior circuit, they lost 111 games. It was their third consecutive 100-loss season. 

Last year, Houston finished 70-92, enough to avoid the cellar but still 28 games off the pace.
