PITTSBURGH -- Shohei Ohtani and Paul Skenes missed their first-ever pitching matchup by just one day. After Skenes started for the Pirates against the Dodgers on Tuesday, Ohtani will follow on Wednesday to pitch in Pittsburgh for the first time in his career. Like Skenes, Ohtani is very much in

PITTSBURGH -- Pirates center fielder Oneil Cruz was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with fourth and fifth-metacarpal non-displaced fractures in his left hand.

Seven of the 12 teams that reached the playoffs in 2025 also made it in 2024: the Yankees, Guardians, Tigers, Dodgers, Phillies, Brewers and Padres. That’s just more than half, which is actually a little high. Six teams repeated in 2024 after six repeated in 2023. That’s to say: It’s

If it seems like a bunch of MLB’s biggest stars are struggling to begin the 2026 season, you aren’t necessarily wrong. Cal Raleigh, Bo Bichette, Mookie Betts and Manny Machado are among those with a wRC+ below 80 -- a stat that measures overall offensive production on a 100-point average.

BALTIMORE -- Colt Emerson said that the “minor” back spasm he recently suffered had subsided enough to swing in the cage on Wednesday afternoon, and he’s optimistic that he’ll return to the Mariners’ lineup on Thursday.

CHICAGO -- Forgive Braden Montgomery if he was darn near speechless after the White Sox claimed a 6-5 victory in 10 innings over the Braves on Tuesday night at Rate Field. The 23-year-old rookie just made history in his Major League debut, so he had reason to search a bit
