Read our story on the balloting format, which includes two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters.

TAMPA -- Before he even got on base in the ninth inning Thursday night, Junior Caminero received some helpful advice from bench coach Rodney Linares: Be aggressive. Caminero took that advice to heart, and at the end of a wild ninth inning, that advice took him home.

ATLANTA -- The word “quit” was not in the Diamondbacks’ vocabulary on Thursday. Down 10-4 with one out in the ninth inning, Arizona scored seven runs for an 11-10 win and the sweep of the Braves at Truist Park.

All spring, we’ve been talking about how the Nationals are looking at a pretty wide array of players to potentially take with the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s Draft. From the get-go, the leader of that group has been Ethan Holliday, son of Matt, brother of Jackson. And

At the end of every winter, the question gets asked: Who won the offseason? At the time, it’s mostly speculation. But now that we’re more than two months into the 2025 season, we have a clearer idea of which moves are actually making a difference. This weekend’s American League East

NEW YORK – It was a few minutes after the clubhouse doors swung open this past weekend at Dodger Stadium, and Max Fried was pacing the carpet, stewing underneath his hooded sweatshirt. A sixth-inning lead had evaporated, and for the first time, the Yankees were examining how their new left-hander

LOS ANGELES -- Michael Conforto notched a pair of knocks in his first five plate appearances with runners in scoring position this season. Then he went on a ghastly 0-for-30 run in such situations. For the first time since March 31, Conforto cashed in with a runner on second. He

Here’s our weekly look at 10 mind-blowing notes from the last week in baseball (May 30-June 5).

On Wednesday night in Oklahoma City, Texas Tech superstar pitcher NiJaree Canady gave up what turned out to be the game-winning hit in Game 1 of the Women's College World Series finals on a botched attempt at an intentional walk of Texas catcher Reese Atwood. What a difference 24 hours

WASHINGTON -- It had been a month since Ian Happ's last home run. Entering the Cubs’ series finale against the Nationals on Thursday night, it had been 16 games -- and a stint on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain -- since Happ had gone yard on May

SEATTLE -- If this had been April or even May, the Orioles may have just gone down quietly. The momentum shift would have been too much to overcome. A resilient win likely would not have been in the cards. But it’s June, and Baltimore may be back. More signs of

The 2025 season is a third of the way through, and the best is yet to come. There are races to track in all of the divisions, milestones within reach for star players and it's never too early to think about who will capture some coveted hardware. And there's only

ST. LOUIS -- Even though he was a highly touted prospect years ago while coming up through the Cubs' system and a World Series winner as an MLB rookie, Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras never thought he’d have the kind of staying power that would allow him to play 1,000

SAN FRANCISCO -- One day after receiving a spark from Daniel Johnson, the Giants got another big lift from fellow newcomer Dominic Smith. In his second game as a Giant, Smith went 3-for-4 and delivered a go-ahead two-run double to help San Francisco edge San Diego, 3-2, and secure a

CHICAGO – Kyle Teel has been promoted to the White Sox from Triple-A Charlotte, a baseball source told MLB.com on Thursday night. The White Sox have not commented on the news, which MassLive’s Chris Cotillo first reported. The No. 2 White Sox prospect and No. 26 overall, per MLB Pipeline,

ATLANTA -- After eking out just five runs across their first three games in June, the Braves' offense finally broke out, scoring five runs in the third inning and taking a 10-4 lead into the ninth inning on Thursday at Truist Park. But the Diamondbacks bit back with an even

SAN FRANCISCO -- These days, the milestones are coming so fast for Manny Machado, he’s having a hard time keeping track. The Padres' star third baseman launched the 350th home run of his career in Thursday's series finale at Oracle Park -- a 3-2 Giants victory. A few days ago,

TORONTO -- Less than 24 hours after a walk-off thriller, the Blue Jays were right back at it. Despite cloudy skies and a weekday start, Rogers Centre was rocking from the jump. The energy surged in the second inning, when Toronto’s right-handed bats teed off on Phillies starter Jesús Luzardo,

PITTSBURGH -- It turned out to be worth the wait for the Astros on Thursday night into Friday morning. And Jacob Melton wasn’t complaining about having to play past midnight. Framber Valdez pitched seven strong innings, Isaac Paredes hit two home runs and Melton keyed a four-run fourth inning with

ST. LOUIS -- So many times this season, the Royals’ excellent pitching has consistently picked up the offense. On Thursday night, the script was flipped.

TAMPA -- Rangers right-hander Kumar Rocker, who returned from the injured list on Wednesday before enduring a rough start against the Rays, was sent down to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday. In a corresponding move, right-hander Chris Martin, who had been on the IL with shoulder fatigue, was activated. Rocker,

NEW YORK – Oswaldo Cabrera rolled across the Yankees’ clubhouse carpet on Thursday, his left ankle still wrapped in a protective boot as he recovers from surgery performed three weeks ago.

LOS ANGELES -- Several hours after taking an 89 mph Tony Gonsolin slider off his right foot Wednesday, breaking his pinky toe, Francisco Lindor sat on the Mets’ team bus back to the hotel and lobbied manager Carlos Mendoza to let him keep playing. When Mendoza said no, Lindor implored

NEW YORK -- Shane Bieber won’t make a rehab start with Double-A Akron on Friday, after all. Bieber experienced soreness following his bullpen session with the RubberDucks on Tuesday and has been scratched from Friday’s outing. After meeting with the Guardians’ team doctors, the right-hander will consult with Dr. Keith

ST. LOUIS -- Jac Caglianone had stepped into the batter’s box six times before the fourth inning Thursday afternoon and put the ball in play all six times. Nearly all of them were hard-hit, but all of them had turned into outs. His seventh try found some grass for the
