Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner says he "can't keep up" with the number of rules changes in MLB and that it's "getting out of hand."
Madison Bumgarner will get to hit for himself Thursday at Oakland, meaning the Giants will become the first NL team to intentionally use a pitcher to hit instead of a DH since 1976.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told ESPN that he did not mean to give the impression during his comments at last week's owners meetings that NL clubs want to adopt the designated hitter.
Injured Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright made clear his thoughts Tuesday regarding the no-designated hitter rule in the National League: It needs to stay.
Max Scherzer says his thoughts about adding the DH to the National League were taken out of context over the weekend after Giants ace Madison Bumgarner challenged the Nationals right-hander.
Max Scherzer, who could miss his next start for the Washington Nationals with a sprained thumb, says the National League would be better served if pitchers weren't asked to bat.
