The Los Angeles Angels and free-agent second/third baseman Brandon Drury agreed to a two-year, $17 million contract Tuesday, per MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger. The 30-year-old had a breakout 2022 season with the Reds and Padres, slashing .263/.320/.492 with 28 home runs and 87 RBI, although he did taper off after joining the Padres. He particularly hit well against left-handed pitching, batting .299 with 12 home runs in 155 plate appearances. Drury's role in a bolstered Angels infield remains to be ...

San Diego Padres first baseman/designated hitter Brandon Drury will slide into the lineup Saturday in game two of their series against the New York Mets. Drury will be the designated hitter and bat sixth against Jacob deGrom. The 30-year-old sat out last night's game as Wil Myers got the start, but manager Bob Melvin likes Drury better in tonight's matchup. The rest of the Padres lineup remains the same as they try to finish off the Mets.

If he avoids any setbacks, Drury will be eligible to return this weekend in another series against ...

The 30-year-old has hit just .220 (22-for-100) with five home runs, 20 RBI and 15 runs scored in 27 games since being acquired from the Cincinnati ...

San Diego Padres infielder Brandon Drury (head) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

San Diego Padres third baseman Brandon Drury is starting at third base and is hitting cleanup on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins and right-hander Pablo Lopez.

San Diego Padres infielder Brandon Drury made his team debut on Wednesday, and he started out with a bang, launching a first-inning grand slam off Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chad Kuhl in a 9-1 victory. Drury figures to receive steady playing time for San Diego, though it could come all over the diamond in a much deeper lineup than his old Reds team had. He stands to receive a bit of a fantasy boost in his new setup, but his .864 OPS, 21 homers, 63 runs scored, and 63 RBI is already an ...

He's hitting .274 with 20 home runs and 59 RBI through 92 games. Drury will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth...
