Jonah Tong is back in the Majors. At least for now, he's sticking around. "We're going to need him," Mets skipper Carlos Mendoza said of Tong following Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Reds. "We'll continue to get creative." Tong -- the organization's No. 2 prospect and No. 36 overall, per

It’s safe to say that Pete Crow-Armstrong was pretty sure he was, well, safe on this bang-bang play at the plate. The Cubs center fielder dashed home from third base when Alex Bregman squibbed a ground ball to first base in the ninth inning of Thursday’s 7-2 Cubs victory over

Throughout much of last season -- and even earlier this season -- a pair of familiar hurlers sat atop our Cy Young poll. Paul Skenes in the National League. Tarik Skubal in the American League. Well, that's not the case anymore. Skubal is sidelined after undergoing surgery to remove loose

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is out of the Blue Jays’ lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, missing his second straight game after suffering a right elbow contusion when he was hit by a pitch on Sunday. Guerrero was struck on the right elbow by a 92.1 mph sinker from Pirates

PHILADELPHIA -- For the second time in three days, the Phillies wasted a gem from their starting pitcher. Rookie right-hander Andrew Painter turned in the longest outing of his young MLB career on Sunday afternoon, allowing just two runs across 6 1/3 innings. When the 23-year-old walked off the mound

Earlier this week, Padres pitching coach Ruben Niebla referred to Mason Miller as the best pitcher in baseball. That may incite debate, but Miller certainly belongs in the conversation -- his early-season dominance (including a 0.79 ERA and a 51.7% strikeout rate) already has us wondering about his potential Cy

Sometimes, it pays to be wrong. It certainly did for the Johnsons. On Tuesday, the couple showed up at Chase Field thinking they had purchased tickets to that night’s game between the D-backs and Giants. But when they tried to scan their tickets at the gate, they did not work.

Kaleb Wing's Single-A debut could not have gone any better. Wing -- the Cubs No. 12 prospect, per MLB Pipeline -- fired four scoreless innings in his first start for Single-A Myrtle Beach on Friday night. The 19-year-old right-hander allowed one hit while recording six strikeouts and did not walk

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

Do the Cubs have the best lineup in baseball? For all of the hoopla often surrounding the Dodgers, Yankees, and even the resurgent Braves, it would be easy to overlook the Northsiders. But they certainly belong in this conversation. Chicago entered play on Thursday scoring 5.41 runs per game --

Right-handed pitcher Juan Valera -- Boston’s No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline -- underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday, Red Sox senior director of player development Brian Abraham told MLB.com’s Ian Browne. The surgery was performed by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas in Alabama.
