Big League Bulldogs (entering 8/16): A breather for Bulldogs

A daily look at how former Mississippi State players are performing in Major League Baseball.

Saturday ended up being a day where every Mississippi State Bulldog in Major League Baseball got a breather. None of the eight former Diamond Dogs that have played in the big leagues this season saw action. Everyone either wasn't penciled into their teams' lineup, had a postponement, or in Kendall Graveman's case, remains on the injured list.

Still, here's a look at up-to-date stats for all former Bulldogs that have seen action in MLB this season:
