Bryce Miller made another big step in his recovery process from left oblique inflammation that has sidelined him to begin the year.

Coming into the season, one might have guessed that Gunnar Henderson would be the Orioles' best player. Perhaps, that could have also been Pete Alonso or Adley Rutschman among position players. Maybe it was Trevor Rogers or Kyle Bradish among the pitchers. Leody Taveras likely wouldn't have been anyone's top

Anthony Volpe, who is recovering from offseason surgery on his left shoulder, homered in his latest rehab game for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

"It's some of the best stuff you'll see in this league. You hate giving credit to opposing pitchers, but sometimes you have to. That was big-time stuff right there." Those were the words from Braves manager Walt Weiss after the Angels’ José Soriano dominated Atlanta’s lineup on April 6, when

As the Angels’ Josh Lowe whiffed through a 54.2 mph pitch from Cincinnati catcher P.J. Higgins -- who made his first career appearance as a pitcher in mop-up duty in a 10-2 Angels win -- he couldn’t help but laugh. Neither could Josh’s brother Nathaniel, playing first base for the

UCLA right-hander Logan Reddemann had a game for the ages on Friday night. And then his teammates followed suit. In a road matchup against Rutgers, Reddemann struck out a whopping 18 batters, tying Rob Henkel (2000) for the school record for the most strikeouts in a single game. Even after

The 2026 season is still only a few weeks old, but plenty of players have stood out in the early going.

MLB pitchers catching popups is not exactly a common occurrence, even if it’s become somewhat more frequent in recent years. The starting pitchers in Monday’s Royals-Guardians game certainly didn’t get that memo, however. In the top of the second inning, Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee caught a popup before any Guardians
