“McGonigoggles” might become a frequent sight (or future promotion) at Detroit’s Comerica Park in the near future.

NEW YORK -- There is no replacing Aaron Judge’s presence in the Yankees’ lineup. Jazz Chisholm Jr. carried the next best thing to home plate: his bat.

PHILADELPHIA -- For the better part of the past month, the Phillies' pitching staff has been picking up the slack for a sluggish offense. This weekend, however, the offense finally started to return the favor.

ATLANTA -- It’s best to have Michael Harris II in the lineup as frequently as possible. But on those days he needs to rest, it’s also nice to bring him off the bench to show why he’s known as “Money Mike.” Harris erased any concerns about his recent back discomfort

MINNEAPOLIS – An achy knee that kept progressing throughout Sunday’s game was ultimately enough for Bobby Witt Jr. to have to exit in the seventh inning of the Royals’ eventual 6-5 win over the Twins, but he and the Royals are optimistic that it isn’t an injury that will have

LOS ANGELES -- After losing the first five games of the Freeway Series, the Angels managed to avoid a season sweep and it came with the help of an incredible showing from the bottom of their order. The bottom four hitters -- Jo Adell, Nick Madrigal, Jose Siri and Sebastián

It’s easy to imagine a 4-6-3 or 6-4-3 double play, but a 7-5-3 double play? That’s rare enough that it’s probably tough to envision. And even if you could somehow conjure up an image of a 7-5-3 twin killing, there’s practically no way it looked like what actually went down

SAN DIEGO -- Carson Benge lightly strummed an acoustic guitar sitting at his locker in the visiting clubhouse at Petco Park, casually riffing for a moment ahead of the Mets' series opener in San Diego on Friday. The rookie, who learned how to play the instrument while he was recovering

ST. LOUIS -- With the Cardinals closing in on a sweep of the Reds on Sunday afternoon at Busch Stadium, it felt like the team was just a swing away from being able to find an opening in a tie game.

Believe it or else, we are roughly 40% of the way through the season. That’s a pretty crazy number to those of us who feel like Opening Day was just a couple weeks ago. But there are other crazy numbers that illustrate the major storylines that have emerged.

PHOENIX -- Their homestand didn't necessarily go the way they wanted, but the Diamondbacks finished it on the right note. Behind another good outing from Michael Soroka, the Diamondbacks beat the Nationals, 5-1, on Sunday afternoon to avoid a sweep in the three-game series. They finished up their week at

TORONTO -- Forget the flaws, any series won in the American League East is a good weekend of baseball. Sunday’s 6-4 win over the Orioles moves the Blue Jays to 32-34, another win towards .500 for a club that’s been stuck just a few games below it seemingly all season

HOUSTON – Gage Jump didn’t have eye-popping strikeout numbers, but he gave the A’s what they needed on Sunday – another good outing. Jump threw 6 1/3 shutout innings and Nick Kurtz and Brent Rooker each homered as the Athletics beat the Astros, 5-0, at Daikin Park to salvage one

NEW YORK -- As a passing shower interrupted Cam Schlittler’s warmup on Sunday at Yankee Stadium, prompting groans as the tarpaulin was pulled across the diamond, the right-hander viewed it as something close to helpful. He’d been running about two minutes behind in his pregame preparation.

ATLANTA -- Ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Braves, there was speculation about a potential IL stint for Brandon Lowe. Lowe left Saturday’s 6-3 loss to Atlanta in the top of the ninth inning after he fouled a pitch off his right knee, then he was not in the

Nick Martinez and Foster Griffin have been two of the better pitchers – and pitching stories – to begin this young season. Martinez owns a 2.29 ERA through his first 12 starts for the Rays, including gems like his April 22 outing against the Reds when he threw a season-high

ARLINGTON -- There is often an understandable air of panic when Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is left out of the lineup. But when he sat for Sunday’s series finale against the Guardians, manager Skip Schumaker affirmed that the staff is just managing Seager and his workload as he's come off

MINNEAPOLIS – When the Royals began their day at Target Field on Sunday, it was not lost on them that a series win was on the line. Without making too much of one game, the importance of this one was mentioned a few times pregame, with the team hoping to
