LOS ANGELES -- Bo Lowrance has long tried to emulate Freddie Freeman while developing his game. Now that the prep shortstop has been drafted by the Dodgers, it's quite the full-circle comparison. Lowrance, MLB Pipeline’s No. 21 Draft prospect, has been one of the hottest names in Draft circles this

Many ran out of words to describe Shohei Ohtani a long time ago, and yet, he’s still doing things that few others -- and occasionally no others -- have done in MLB history. Ohtani hit his 300th career home run on Wednesday, becoming the first Japanese-born player to reach the

A wise man once said, “Monkey never cramps.” That’s because -- at least in Munenori Kawasaki’s calculations -- they eat bananas every day. After leaving the Cubs’ 3-2 loss to the Orioles on Thursday with calf cramping, Seiya Suzuki is ready to follow in the footsteps of Kawasaki, who is

The Mets are among the few teams already deemed as likely sellers at this year’s Aug. 3 Trade Deadline, sitting with a 40-54 record and well outside the postseason picture. The number of obviously tradeable pieces may be slim, but it includes players on expiring contracts, like starting pitcher Freddy

Jonathon Long has shaken off a bit of a slow start to the 2026 season to return closer to his lofty standards at the plate, including a career night on Thursday. Long, the Cubs’ No. 6 prospect, went deep as part of a career-high five-hit performance for Triple-A Iowa. Long

Michael Arroyo has certainly enjoyed his recent promotion to Triple-A. The Mariners’ No. 4 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 43 overall clubbed his first home run at the level on Thursday, contributing to an 18-4 win for Tacoma over Las Vegas at Las Vegas Ballpark. Arroyo has now been on

Baseball players are notoriously superstitious. And whether Christian Walker would identify himself as such, he's definitely at least a little sititious. Walker is enjoying a resurgent season with the Astros, posting a .791 OPS and 20 home runs heading into Houston’s final series before the All-Star break. As good as

Pete Crow-Armstrong has blossomed into one of the best players in MLB, accruing 5.8 FanGraphs WAR thus far in 2026 -- second only to Shohei Ohtani. Crow-Armstrong has used his elite defense combined with an improved offensive approach to reach this mark. Of course, “PCA” wouldn’t be reaching these heights

The Dodgers’ and Mariners’ Single-A affiliates delivered a historic barnburner on Wednesday night, the kind we haven’t seen in at least two decades. Ontario (LAD) defeated Inland Empire (SEA) 22-21 -- yes, you read that correctly -- in a nine-inning game that took three hours and 57 minutes to complete.

Junior Caminero hits a lot of home runs. And not only that, he hits them really, really hard and, often, really, really far. But you probably knew that already. That’s partially why he’s heading back to the Home Run Derby for the second straight year. Few of his moonshots have

It didn’t take long for Kendall George to make his mark after returning from injury. George -- the Dodgers’ No. 13 prospect -- is just one of a massive group of highly touted outfield talent in Los Angeles’ system and with Double-A Tulsa. But he was the hero Tuesday night.

It’s been a tough go for Cubs lefty Justin Steele as he works his way back from an elbow surgery that ended his season in 2025, but he received an unexpected pick-me-up this week that might make things a little easier. Steele posted to social media on Monday a brief

It’s almost like a rite of passage for baseball broadcasters: You simply have to joke about a foul ball entering the booth every time it gets close. And further, you have to express that you were ready to make the play if needed. But it doesn’t actually happen all that

Roman Anthony has transferred his rehab from a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger to Fort Myers, Fla., Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said this weekend. While the move does not signify a change in timeline for the young star, it’s an attempt to “get away from all

Jedixson Paez put together his best performance of the 2026 season on Sunday. The No. 19 Red Sox prospect completed four dominant innings for Double-A Portland in a 10-0 win over Altoona at Delta Dental Park at Hadlock Field. Paez allowed just one hit in the scoreless appearance out of

Zyhir Hope home run streak ended at three games on Sunday. He probably won’t lose any sleep over it, though, as he made up for it by collecting four more hits. Hope, the Dodgers’ No. 3 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 19 overall, went 4-for-6 for Double-A Tulsa in a

The final week before the 2026 All-Star break is officially here. Teams across the league are still jockeying for playoff position, and earning momentum heading into the break could do a lot, not only for placement in the standings, but also for what each club may do when the Trade

In the middle of an up-and-down journey back from both left Achilles bursitis and a right wrist contusion, Jorge Polanco seemed to make more progress on Sunday. The Mets’ rehabbing first baseman homered for Triple-A Syracuse in a 7-3 loss to Worcester. It was his second homer in his last

The battered Cubs starting rotation received positive news on Sunday. Veteran righty Jameson Taillon completed a rehab start with High-A South Bend, pitching 3 1/3 innings. He allowed one run on four hits while striking out a pair. Taillon has been on the injured list since June 9 (retroactive to

Jurrangelo Cijntje delivered some switch-pitching fireworks on the Fourth of July. The Cardinals’ No. 4 prospect twirled six scoreless innings Saturday, striking out nine, in a 7-5 win for Double-A Springfield over Arkansas at Route 66 Stadium. Cijntje scattered three hits and walked three while throwing 87 total pitches (59

In his second start since returning to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Andrew Painter looked dominant. The promising young Phillies righty went six innings on Saturday, striking out six and walking none. He allowed one run on four hits. Painter took a no-decision as Rochester walked off the IronPigs, 2-1, at ESL

Kade Anderson just made his first start since becoming MLB Pipeline’s top-rated pitching prospect, and it only proved further why he earned that designation. Anderson, the Mariners’ No. 1 prospect and MLB’s No. 5 overall, struck out nine on Friday across six innings of two-run ball. Despite the gem, Anderson

The Dodgers’ excellent crop of outfield prospects just keeps producing. Zyhir Hope, Los Angeles’ No. 3 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 19 overall, hit a go-ahead three-run home run on Friday en route to a 10-5 win for Double-A Tulsa over Wichita at Equity Bank Park. It was part of

The 2026 MLB All-Star Game is rapidly approaching, and there’s precious little time to vote to help the game’s top players earn a bid on July 14 at Citizens Bank Park. Phase 2 voting will determine the starters at each position, joining the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani as the NL designated

The Blue Jays always celebrate Canada Day with a slick red uniform, and they’re doing the same during Wednesday’s rubber game against the Mets, which is slated for a 3:07 p.m. ET first pitch. But they also debuted another slick red uni, one that was a special giveaway for fans
