Bill Mazeroski stood outside on a surprisingly chilly mid-February day a few years ago in Bradenton, Fla., making his annual Spring Training visit to see his former team at the Pirate City training complex. He could still repeat the quick, fluid movements that made him such a renowned defensive second

TAMPA, Fla. -- Spencer Jones has been searching for a swing he can repeat, one that allows the towering Yankees outfield prospect to find consistency without losing his thunder. His latest inspiration comes from one of baseball’s brightest stars: the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling has been a non-roster invitee at Marlins big league camp in consecutive years, and that’s where the similarities end.

The Andre Dawson Classic is an annual, round-robin collegiate baseball tournament designed by Major League Baseball to highlight Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and their baseball programs. Continuing its goal of highlighting the grand tradition of Black college baseball, the 18th iteration of the tournament (originally known as the

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Playing his first game at first base, Nick Castellanos hadn’t gotten much action through three innings on Friday afternoon. He was only slated for two at-bats -- and he’d taken both of them. But new Padres manager Craig Stammen asked for one more inning from Castellanos defensively.

JUPITER, Fla. -- A right-handed-hitting outfielder has been on the Cardinals’ wish list all offseason. That move might still be to come. But it might not be as much of a necessity in the wake of Saturday’s news that St. Louis has signed a right-handed-hitting infielder.

Stay up-to-date with all the latest news on injured players across Major League Baseball.

TAMPA, Fla. – Even if Spencer Jones and Aaron Judge didn’t stand at each others’ eye levels, there would be plenty of reasons to share conversations throughout Yankees camp – their massive power, dependable defense in the outfield, aggressiveness on the basepaths. That height only adds to the available topics.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Dodgers bolstered their outfield mix by claiming outfielder Jack Suwinski off waivers from the Pirates on Saturday afternoon. To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, utility man Kiké Hernández was placed on the 60-day injured list. Suwinski, 27, is out of Minor League options, meaning

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Phillies first-base coach Paco Figueroa has a 5 a.m. wake-up every day in the spring. He gets to BayCare Ballpark early to work out before others arrive. But last year, he noticed somebody wearing headphones on the turf field just outside the weight room. He couldn’t tell

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- You’ve heard it before, but Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young successfully spearheaded a bullpen rebuild in 2025, leading to a 3.62 ERA, good for good for fifth in the Majors (third in the AL). But there was one small issue. They also went 37-for-66 in

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- When the Red Sox open their season in Cincinnati on March 26, the first player to step into the batter’s box is all but certain to be Roman Anthony. The emerging star outfielder, all of 21 years old, figures to be a focal point of the

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- It may not be anything serious, but you can forgive the Diamondbacks if they're a bit nervous these days whenever one of their pitchers has any kind of injury issue. Right-hander Merrill Kelly, who was re-signed this winter to a two-year, $40 million contract, was scratched from

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Mike Yastrzemski was born into the Red Sox family. But while growing up the grandson of a Boston legend, he idolized two other Hall of Famers -- Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones -- and considered the Braves to be his National League team. So, the first-inning

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – In the first game of Spring Training, the Nationals got a look at the first overall pick in the 2025 Draft. Eighteen-year-old shortstop Eli Willits, ranked by MLB Pipeline as the Nationals’ top prospect and MLB’s No. 13 overall, was called up from Minor League

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- MLB Pipeline Top 100 prospect Charlie Condon (COL No. 2/MLB No. 70) checked important boxes for the Rockies even before Saturday, when he made his first career Major League Spring Training start.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Gleyber Torres was feeling a tad nostalgic this week even before returning to George M. Steinbrenner Field on Saturday for the Tigers’ Grapefruit League opener against the Yankees, his former team. If Torres wanted a reminder of his days as a top prospect and a highly regarded

PEORIA, Ariz. -- For the back fields, the ovation was loud. Yet after the show that Kade Anderson put on, it was also substantiated.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The Astros’ single-season home run record of 47 was set by Hall of Fame first baseman Jeff Bagwell 26 years ago -- the first year Houston moved into its downtown ballpark. Lance Berkman made a run at Bagwell’s record six years later, but he finished

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Twins scratched ace Joe Ryan from his scheduled start against the Red Sox shortly before first pitch on Saturday due to what the club is calling “low back tightness in his right side.” Ryan began his warmups prior to the game but was replaced as

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Royce Lewis' offseason work is already paying off. Lewis homered in his first at-bat of 2026 on Saturday, pummeling a 2-2 pitch over the berm and onto the outfield concourse at Lee Health Sports Complex in the first inning of Minnesota's Grapefruit League opener against the

The Mets have had young pitching stars before, have they ever, all the way back to the great Tom Seaver. He was a phenom who stayed a star until he won his 300th game -- with the White Sox by then -- when he was 40. Now another young guy,
