Former big league ballplayers who turn into Major League coaches don’t always get a chance to show off their skills in front of their new pupils. Two such staff members across MLB this week, however, made some absolute highlight plays to prove they “still got it.” Phillies interim manager Don

The Mets, Yankees, Dodgers and Phillies are among those to be linked to star Japanese slugger Teruaki Sato, according to a report from Jon Heyman of the New York Post on Aug. 14. Sato, 27, could come to MLB in the offseason through Nippon Professional Baseball’s posting system. Heyman specifically

We’re in the home stretch of the 2026 MLB season, with teams making their final pushes toward the postseason and a few key award races coming to a head. These performances went a long way toward both of those chases. Here are both leagues' monthly award winners for August:

Caden Sorrell has a unique baseball lineage, with both of his grandfathers having played Major League Baseball. The Cubs’ 2026 second-round pick has certainly gotten off to a strong start on his own journey toward the big leagues. Sorrell gathered five RBIs on Wednesday amid three hits -- both early

Wehiwa Aloy, the 31st overall Draft pick in 2025 to the Orioles, has had little issue since being promoted to Double-A Chesapeake on July 29. Wednesday was just another feather in his cap. The 2025 Golden Spikes Award winner hit a pair of home runs in a 5-4 Baysox win

Lazaro Montes’ Major League debut was filled with good first impressions, his signature power and a little bit of home run trident whimsy, as he and the Mariners took home a 9-6 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday. Montes’ personality meshed well with that of the red-hot and fan-favorite

Andrew Fischer is having one of the greatest power-hitting Minor League seasons we’ve seen. Another home run on Tuesday night has him tied with the likes of a former MVP. Fischer’s long ball on Tuesday was his 43rd of the season -- 23 with Double-A Biloxi and 20 with High-A

Ten years after he was part of the Cubs’ 2016 World Series team, Matt Szczur has publicly named his choice for 2026 National League MVP. The player he supports for the award -- Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong -- won’t surprise you. How he went about doing so, well, that’s

Chris Chao, a Red Sox fan living in New York City since March 2021, said he’s been to more than 200 baseball games since moving there. Simply an avid fan of the sport, he scours for chances to score last-minute tickets and see as many games as possible. But no

After a vintage Max Scherzer performance punctuated a three-game sweep of the Mariners this past weekend, the Blue Jays -- through all the adversity they’ve faced this season -- sit just 1 1/2 games back of the third American League Wild Card spot. And they have a premium chance to

Jacques Doucet, known as the “Voice of the Expos”, died at 86 last week, his daughter Martine confirmed on social media. Doucet spent 33 years as the beloved French language play-by-play broadcaster for the Expos and served as a pivotal figure in popularizing the French vocabulary used to describe baseball.

Here’s a pop quiz: What do Konnor Griffin, Joshua Báez, Eric Hartman and Theo Gillen have in common with Astros No. 10 prospect Anthony Huezo? They’re the only five Minor Leaguers across the past two seasons to achieve a 20-home-run, 40-stolen-base season. The first four names are all either in

The rejuvenated Binghamton Rumble Ponies lineup post-Trade Deadline is doing some serious damage. The Mets’ Double-A affiliate has gone 20-7 in August, and Sunday’s 14-5 victory over Reading at FirstEnergy Stadium was just another example of the team’s top talent taking center stage. Jefferson Rojas (NYM No. 1 prospect), Mitch

Baseball can make anyone feel like a kid again, especially when it’s being played at hallowed grounds in Williamsport, Pa.

We don’t blame you if this clip makes you want to say, “OMG!” Former Met and 15-year big leaguer Jose Iglesias made his long-awaited debut on Broadway on Thursday, appearing as the Narrator in the show “Buena Vista Social Club.” Iglesias -- who is also known by his pop-star alter

The Cardinals feature one of MLB’s top farm systems, reaching No. 4 in MLB Pipeline’s latest rankings. They bolstered that depth at the Trade Deadline, including with the addition of right-handed pitcher Daniel Eagen, part of the Lars Nootbaar trade with the Diamondbacks. Eagen has been quite strong since joining

The Orioles made one of the biggest splashes of the 2026 Trade Deadline, sending former franchise cornerstone Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox for a package of prospects that could add pop to a system that ranked in the middle of the pack entering 2026. Anthony Eyanson has certainly brought

Munetaka Murakami has been a sensation for the first-place White Sox since signing a two-year, $34 million contract with the club this offseason. Currently slated to be a free agent after the 2027 season, could the South Siders try to keep “Mune” around even longer? In a podcast appearance with

Pope Leo XIV has already proven he’s a real, legitimate White Sox fan, dating back to his roots as a Chicago native. He attended the 2005 World Series, met with A.J. Pierzynski to receive the final out ball from Game 1 of that Fall Classic and even wore a South

As part of our celebration of America 250, MLB's content team has created 25 top 10 lists that capture the plays, people, rituals and moments that made baseball America’s game.

A two-homer game is plenty impressive on its own, but how about crushing a pair of dingers in consecutive games? Astros No. 6 prospect Jason Schiavone did just that on Wednesday, hitting two home runs for the second straight game at Double-A Corpus Christi. Schiavone’s 3-for-4 performance came in a

Jarlin Susana returned to Double-A Harrisburg on Wednesday for his first start there in nearly an entire year. He showed off all of his upside, albeit in a brief outing. Susana pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out four while walking one and allowing one hit. He ran his fastball

The Cubs are celebrating their 150th anniversary in 2026. The 2026 team just accomplished something that no other squad has done in that rich history. With a Michael Busch RBI single in the sixth inning Tuesday, Chicago had scored 30 consecutive runs since it last allowed one -- the most

Edward Florentino has been hitting home runs in bunches lately, and they’re coming in clutch moments, too. The Pirates’ No. 2 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 35 prospect overall launched a walk-off homer on Tuesday, delivering a 4-3 win in 11 innings to High-A Greensboro over Hub City at First

Angels 2026 third-round Draft pick Gavin Grahovac received a 60 grade for his power, which quickly tied him for tops in the system. It hasn’t taken long for the former Texas A&M standout to show why that’s the case. Grahovac homered twice for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday -- both
