The Washington Nationals are on the clock. OK, not quite yet, but they do have the No. 1 pick in this year’s Draft, and MLB Pipeline has an updated and expanded Draft Top 150, ranking the players all 30 teams are criss-crossing the country to see to line up their

TORONTO -- Daulton Varsho, are you serious? In his 2025 debut, fresh off the IL Tuesday in Toronto, Varsho made a catch we’ll be talking about all season long.

Time sure flies, doesn’t it? We’re already a month into the 2025 season and, while it’s still early, plenty of important developments have taken place with the playoff picture. What’s made the early playoff outlook fascinating is the difference between the two leagues, with more clarity about who the good

LOS ANGELES -- There's nowhere quite like Miami.

BALTIMORE -- Aaron Judge’s statistics already seem larger than life, and now the Yankees’ captain is getting the full treatment as an anime hero. Judge is the latest player to be spotlighted in Major League Baseball’s anime-inspired “Heroes of the Game” series, which debuted ahead of Opening Day and is

The last time Astros fans saw Lance McCullers Jr., he walked off the mound in Game 3 of the 2022 World Series against the Phillies. On Sunday, he'll make his first start in two-plus years when he faces the White Sox at Rate Field, the club announced on Wednesday.

Could the AL East have five teams finish .500 or better? Is the NL East a two-way tussle between the Mets and Phillies or will the Braves find a way to make it a three-legged race? And in the NL West, the Dodgers are the favorites to win the division,

Last week against the Dodgers, Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong made one of the finest defensive plays of the young season. Unfortunately for him, he performed his job a little too well. Even if you were watching the game in real time, you likely neither noticed nor cared that he

Major League Baseball and the Atlanta Braves today revealed a first look at Capital One All-Star Village, the league’s experiential fan festival that features legends of the game and interactive baseball attractions for fans of all ages. Taking place around the corner from Truist Park and The Battery during All-Star

The Mariners on Wednesday placed outfielder Luke Raley on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Monday, with a right oblique strain. Outfielder Rhylan Thomas was selected from Triple-A Tacoma to take his place, and to make room on the 40-man roster, right-hander Sauryn Lao was designated for assignment.

The first two games in Houston this week somewhat aside, there aren’t many more fun teams to be right now than the Detroit Tigers. They’re fresh off a wild late-2024 run that got them into the playoffs and, ultimately, the American League Division Series. They’ve got one of the most

BALTIMORE – As Yogi Berra might have said, it was déjà vu all over again. The Yankees became the first team in AL/NL history to open multiple games with three consecutive homers in a single season, repeating their feat one month to the date. Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge and Ben

CLEVELAND -- The Guardians added additional bullpen depth on Wednesday, when they acquired right-hander Matt Festa from the Rangers for cash considerations. Festa, who is not currently a member of Cleveland’s 40-man roster, has been assigned to Triple-A Columbus.

LOS ANGELES -- One night after needing to grind out a comeback victory in a game where they’d had the chance to win comfortably, the Dodgers kept their foot on the gas and cruised to a series win. Shohei Ohtani led off the bottom of the first inning with a

TORONTO -- Clearly, the Boston bats had no trouble clearing customs. And to say Jarren Duran was a tone-setter when he belted the third pitch of Tuesday night’s game at Rogers Centre over the wall in right field would be an understatement.

NEW YORK -- Somewhere between the offense scoring eight more runs and the defense completing three straight noteworthy plays and Pete Alonso making history and the team running its home winning streak to eight, an undeniable truth became clear. This Mets club is pretty darn good.

ARLINGTON -- Entering Tuesday’s matchup with the A’s, Jacob deGrom had received nine total runs of support in his five starts (27 IP) in 2025, good for a 3.00 run support average that would rank tied for 12th-lowest in the American League if he qualified with enough innings. deGrom’s 4.20

CINCINNATI -- Before Wednesday's split doubleheader vs. the Cardinals, the Reds placed struggling corner infielder Jeimer Candelario on the 10-day injured list and recalled infielder/outfielder Tyler Callihan from Triple-A Louisville. Pitching prospect Chase Petty (No. 6 in the organization, No. 99 overall) was brought up from Louisville to be the

PITTSBURGH -- It’s safe to say Cubs starting pitcher Shota Imanaga has laid to rest any idea of a sophomore slump.

The NHL playoffs are underway, with plenty of goalies logging standout performances on a nightly basis, but Tuesday night's top save may have come courtesy of Jonah Hurney for the Reds' High-A affiliate Dayton at Parkview Field.

CLEVELAND -- With how much the Guardians have been forced to lean on their bullpen over the past few days, and considering the grueling stretch of schedule they’re currently in, they desperately needed Tanner Bibee to step up on Tuesday. Bibee understood the assignment. Following a three-hour, 10-minute rain delay,
