SAN DIEGO -- Shohei Ohtani's expression gave no indication of any emotions that may have been going through his head after his first swing of the game resulted in his first run of support before he even took the mound. But after inducing an inning-ending double play with his final

NEW YORK -- What if this is just who Trey Yesavage is now? What if there’s no sophomore slump and no regression, only more of the same brilliance we saw in the Blue Jays’ 2025 World Series run? All offseason, it felt like a pipe dream, but look at him

The White Sox are one of the best turnaround stories in baseball through the first quarter of the season. In fact, they could be one of the greatest improvement cases of all time. Through play on Tuesday, they are enjoying the third-best win percentage improvement in the Majors (+.152). But

CHICAGO -- The Brewers walked into Wrigley Field this week chasing the Cubs in the National League Central standings. Three days later, they walked out alone in first place -- and looking every bit like one of baseball’s best teams. Behind another dominant pitching performance -- this time from Kyle

For the fourth time in as many polls, a new hurler has climbed to the top of our latest Starting Pitcher Power Rankings. Paul Skenes, Tarik Skubal and Shohei Ohtani have all occupied the No. 1 spot in our rankings at one point this season. That shouldn't be surprising; any

MIAMI -- In the Braves’ 9-1 win over the Marlins at loanDepot park Wednesday night, Dominic Smith did something that he had not done in a long time. After Atlanta began the sixth inning with singles from Ronald Acuña Jr., Michael Harris II, Matt Olson and Ozzie Albies, Smith stepped

CHICAGO – David Hamilton turned a routine single into absolute chaos during the Brewers' 5-0 win over the Cubs on Wednesday night at Wrigley Field. The Brewers' speedster lined a base hit to center field in the second inning, but Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong misplayed the ball as it

The Cardinals have found some magic in 2026, beginning with a 29-18 record despite appearing to head for a full rebuild in the offseason. Breakouts from Jordan Walker and JJ Wetherholt have helped, but lately, it seems like the magic is coming from somewhere else. Busch Stadium has been ambushed

MIAMI -- Chris Sale has accomplished a lot in his career: The 2024 National League Cy Young winner won a World Series title with Red Sox in 2018 and has earned nine All-Star selections. One of the few feats that had eluded him entering Wednesday, though, was a win over

WASHINGTON – CJ Abrams has a way of welcoming pitchers to the big leagues. Over his five-year career, Abrams has faced 10 starting pitchers making their Major League debut. Unfortunately for those opposing arms, Abrams has homered off of four of them.

ST. PETERSBURG -- At this point, it’s probably wise to never count these Rays out of a game. They certainly never believe they’re out, even when they’re down. That was the feeling veteran starter Steven Matz had in the home clubhouse at Tropicana Field on Wednesday afternoon as the Rays

WASHINGTON -- Paul Thornton was sitting in the wheelchair section behind Section 114 at Nationals Park on Wednesday when the bullpen door swung open and his son, Zach Thornton, stepped onto the warning track.

This is the time of year when we like to look at pleasant developments in the early part of the Minor League schedule. When we did so a year ago, we spotlighted several prospects who were steaming toward MLB Pipeline's Top 100 list: A.J. Ewing, Carlos Lagrange, Joe Mack, Rainiel

SEATTLE -- For all that’s gone maddeningly wrong for the Mariners on this frustrating homestand, they escaped from a hold-your-breath ninth inning on Wednesday. Backup catcher Jhonny Pereda blasted his first career homer during the seventh to push Seattle ahead, then Randy Arozarena upped the ante with a two-run insurance

SAN DIEGO -- It didn’t happen overnight. There was no formal announcement. But make no mistake: Fernando Tatis Jr. is now the everyday second baseman in San Diego. On Wednesday, prior to the Padres’ series finale against the rival Dodgers, Tatis was presented with the Platinum Glove Award that he

NEW YORK – It was a rare pitchers’ duel that lived up to the hype, advertising both the present and the future for two American League East rivals. Once the skies cleared over Yankee Stadium, Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage provided a window into what the next decade could look

Baseball players will try just about anything to break out of a slump (see: Cal Raleigh showering in full uniform earlier this month). For Jazz Chisholm Jr., the fix has come from stealing a teammate’s look. Chisholm -- 5-foot-11 and 184 pounds -- started wearing the pants of 6-foot-5, 245-pound

DENVER -- “A four-run lead here doesn't mean [crap],” Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said ahead of his club’s series opener against the Rockies at Coors Field on Monday afternoon. Of course, he was referring to the notorious offensive production in the Mile High City. This park can get into guys’

SAN DIEGO -- Jackson Merrill's status remains uncertain but he appears to be OK after exiting Wednesday’s series finale against the Dodgers with a back injury. The Padres center fielder sustained the injury on the first pitch of the game, while trying to rob Shohei Ohtani’s leadoff home run.

DETROIT -- For eight innings on Wednesday, the Guardians’ offense was silent, once again unable to muster an ounce of run support for starter Tanner Bibee. Heading into the ninth inning, there was a common goal inside the first-base dugout at Comerica Park. “It really felt like the guys wanted
