The Braves played their first home games this week since franchise icons Bobby Cox and Ted Turner passed away, and both men were honored by the team and the fans at the stadium. (The Braves will also be wearing No. 6 on their hats to honor Cox.) Two of the

Maybe whatever season the Mets are going to have the rest of the way started this past weekend at Citi Field. Doesn’t mean that it has. But in a season when just about everything has gone wrong for them, for the past two days things went suddenly and improbably right.

CHICAGO – The last time the Brewers and Cubs met, it was during a 2025 NL Division Series that went the distance. The teams are set to renew rivalries beginning tonight at Wrigley Field – the deepest into a season they have waited to match up since 2004, when they

ANAHEIM -- The Dodgers added to their thinning rotation depth by acquiring left-hander Eric Lauer from the Blue Jays in exchange for cash considerations ahead of Sunday's series finale against the Angels.

Jackson Holliday could be coming off the injured list and returning to the Orioles quite soon. On Monday, Holliday joined the O's in St. Petersburg, Fla., multiple sources told MLB.com, ahead of the team's series opener against the American League East rival Rays at Tropicana Field.

When Colt Emerson signed an eight-year contract extension at the end of March, it was clear the Mariners thought their No. 1 prospect figured into their plans, both short- and long-term. He had competed all spring for a spot on the big league roster, posting an OPS of .828 over

NEW YORK -- As two Yankees infielders collided, Carson Benge raised his arms high into the air, celebrating the walk-off win that was unfolding behind him. The Mets had just pulled off the type of magic that had been foreign to them for the last year and a half. The

The Dodgers and Padres enter their first series of the season separated by just a half-game in the standings. Could that be an indication that we're in for another thrilling battle for the National League West? Regardless of what happens in the months to follow, the first meeting between the

ANAHEIM -- As the Dodgers open a series against their biggest competition in the NL West, they're looking for their ace to round back into form. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will take on the Padres in Monday night's series opener at Petco Park, coming off a tough previous start last Tuesday, in

PITTSBURGH -- Several hours before Sunday’s 6-0 win against the Pirates, Phillies manager Don Mattingly was asked the key to success against right-hander Paul Skenes.

ANAHEIM -- It took just five pitches for Roki Sasaki to navigate his way through uncharted territory. In his first 15 big league starts, Sasaki had never taken the mound beyond the sixth inning, let alone recorded an out. Given his first opportunity to do so against the Angels on

CHICAGO – With two days off to start this weekend's series against the Cubs, White Sox catcher Edgar Quero had plenty of time to think about Sunday’s finale at Rate Field.

HOUSTON -- The home run lights began to flicker at Daikin Park as Yordan Alvarez started to round the bases in the fourth inning after connecting with a hanging curveball out of the hand of Nathan Eovaldi.
