We might need to change the name of Rays No. 1 prospect Theo Gillen to "Three-o" Gillen after what he did for High-A Bowling Green on Saturday. And yes, we can hear you groaning at that joke.

LOS ANGELES -- Congratulations are in order for the Ohtani family, which is now a party of four. Five, if you include Decoy. Shohei Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko, have announced the arrival of their second child.

Question: Does Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk know "The Carlton" dance? We know Mookie Betts does. Pitcher Taijuan Walker did his best rendition in 2016, too. We’re not sure about the 1972 AL Rookie of the Year, but we do know there has been a meeting between the Carltons

The Royals announced Saturday that they have signed 13-year MLB veteran pitcher Matt Moore to a Minor League contract. Moore, who turned 37 years old on Thursday, last pitched in the Majors while with the Angels in 2024. He signed a Minor League deal with the Red Sox in February

Kyson Witherspoon has been pitching well of late for High-A Greenville, and his start on Friday in a 4-2 win for the Drive was one of his best of the season.

Who will be the player traded before the 2026 Trade Deadline arrives on Aug. 3? Tigers ace Tarik Skubal? Twins starter Joe Ryan? Rafael Devers (again), Luis Arraez or Matt Chapman from the Giants? We all love a good blockbuster. But sometimes, it's the smaller deals, the ones that don't

Defense has always been Dillon Dingler's strength behind the plate. As he made his way through the Tigers' system, his work in the field commonly earned him his highest scouting grades.

Considering what Caden Scarborough has already been through this year, dealing with High-A hitters is a piece of cake.

The West Virginia Mountaineers didn’t wait long to make a statement in the Men’s College World Series. In the first inning of the program’s first MCWS game Friday, they scored a run. Actually, they stole a run.

At the intersection of Washington and 11th Streets in Hoboken, N.J., a marker and four street corners commemorate one of the most important events in baseball history -- one that took place 180 years ago. At first glance, it may not seem like you are in the shadow of baseball

The Mets’ issues through the first two-plus months of the season are myriad. After all, you don’t end up 14 1/2 games back in your division and six games out of a Wild Card spot because of a single flaw. The defense has been admittedly “sloppy”. The club ranks 21st

“If you found out we weren’t alone, would that frighten you?” That question is posed in a new trailer for “Disclosure Day,” an upcoming science fiction movie from legendary director Steven Spielberg. And at the center of the trailer is none other than Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor. In the 30-second

The D-backs are shuffling their pitching staff. The club is optioning right-hander Brandon Pfaadt to Triple-A Reno and calling up righty Kade Strowd and left-hander Philip Abner. Arizona is also placing right-hander Taylor Clarke on the bereavement/family medical emergency list.

Which players do you want to see in the starting lineups for the 2026 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard?

Kodai Senga's second rehab start was a mixed bag.

Even when Pirates top prospect Seth Hernandez isn't at his best, he's still pretty dang good.

As we inch toward the start of summer each year, trade chatter around Major League Baseball inevitably heats up in anticipation of the Trade Deadline. But some teams in years past haven’t waited until the last minute to do their midseason shopping. Many have pulled off deals in June that

First baseman Abimelec Ortiz was one of the five prospects the Nationals received in the MacKenzie Gore trade and is the closest to the Majors of that quintet given that he is the only one at Triple-A Rochester. Right now, the Nats' No. 25 prospect is riding one heck of

The Yankees gave Cam Schlittler four runs to work with before he even hit the mound on Tuesday night against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. That was plenty of support for MLB's ERA leader (and current American League Cy Young favorite?). But he would get more. A whole lot more.

The first two months of the MLB season have seemingly flown by. Although, for the 10 players listed below, most of that period probably felt like an eternity while they were mired in early-season slumps.

If you happened to be inside San Manuel Stadium on Sunday, you saw not one, not two, but three top Dodgers prospects show why they are so highly regarded.

Every Jacob Misiorowski start has become must-see TV. The Brewers’ ace will be on the mound this afternoon against the Cardinals, so expect to see lots of triple-digit heat and baffled batters. The Miz, who carries a 1.89 ERA and the best strikeout-minus-walk rate among qualified pitchers (31.3%) into today’s

Kodai Senga threw 64 pitches over 3 1/3 innings and reached 97 mph on the radar gun for Single-A St. Lucie in his first rehab start Friday. Senga, who has been on the injured list since April 28 with lumbar spine inflammation, allowed two runs on four hits and one
