Far be it from us to pretend that Aaron Judge hasn’t been the recipient of enough positive media coverage over the last half-decade – you may have noticed the video game cover and the pair of American League Most Valuable Player Awards – but there’s also a danger in his

LOS ANGELES -- The eyes of the baseball world were on Dodger Stadium on Friday night, where two of the game’s premier arms were going up against each other. And Paul Skenes, for his part, more than lived up to the hype in outmatching Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Skenes was

NEW YORK – Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke to the media after the Yankees announced their game with the Blue Jays on Saturday would be postponed, and he has not decided if Devin Williams will remain as the team’s closer. On Friday against the Blue Jays, Williams was unable to

ST. LOUIS -- Walt Jocketty, the Cardinals architect who lured manager Tony La Russa to St. Louis and oversaw the drafting of Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina to pave the way for seven division titles and a 2006 World Series crown, died Saturday morning, the Cardinals announced in a statement.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Less than 24 hours after Luke Keaschall suffered a nondisplaced fracture of his right forearm, the Twins acquired utility man Kody Clemens from the Phillies in exchange for cash considerations on Saturday morning. Clemens, who is the son of Roger Clemens, was designated for assignment by Philadelphia on

The Yankees announced that Saturday's game against the Blue Jays will not be played due to the forecast of sustained inclement weather. The teams will make up the game as the second game of a single-admission doubleheader on Sunday at Yankee Stadium, which will begin at 1:35 p.m. ET. The

ST. LOUIS -- Daz Cameron has fond memories of the Brewers organization as a kid. “I was out there fielding and shagging,” Cameron said. “Yeah, I can remember like it was yesterday.” Cameron -- the son of former Brewers outfielder Mike Cameron-- hopes to make more memories as a pro

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,

ST. LOUIS -- Matthew Liberatore had long been out of the game, and from the training room, he had to do a double take at what he had just seen on the television. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was dumbfounded by what he had just witnessed and was quickly trying to

After more than two years and three injuries, Lucas Giolito is finally on the cusp of making his Red Sox debut. The likely last hurdle came on Friday in a rehab start for Triple-A Worcester. The right-hander struck out four in 4 2/3 innings against the Syracuse Mets. He gave

WASHINGTON -- The Nationals turned their first triple play at home in team history (2005-present) in their 5-4 walk-off win over the Mets on Friday at Nationals Park. It was the second triple play of the season, joining the Rockies’ triple play on April 5 against the Athletics.

NEW YORK -- One or two big swings can wipe your memory clean. All of those weak ground balls, stranded runners and ugly losses over the weekend? By the time Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s rocket landed in the left-center-field bleachers at Yankee Stadium on Friday night, they were beginning to blur.

WASHINGTON -- The second the ball left James Wood’s bat with a full count and two outs in the ninth inning on Friday night at Nationals Park, CJ Abrams was already halfway to second base. Abrams ran and ran -- helmet falling off, alien necklace bouncing and arms pumping --

ATLANTA -- A lot has gone right as the Braves have won six of their past seven games. One of the most important developments occurred at Chase Field on Friday night when Chris Sale started to look more like himself in an 8-2 win over the D-backs. Sale wasn’t nearly

LOS ANGELES -- For the second start in a row, Yoshinobu Yamamoto found himself at the center of a must-see pitching matchup made for the big screen. But this time around, the Dodgers' right-hander was bested by his counterpart, the Pirates' Paul Skenes. One start after tossing seven scoreless innings

SEATTLE -- Logan Gilbert was on cruise control on Friday night, carving through the Marlins’ lineup and needing just 29 pitches to work through three perfect innings.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Nathan Eovaldi pitched in his 300th Major League game Friday, a solid milestone. Two things made it more special: He won and outdueled a no-doubt Hall of Famer who threw a heck of a game, too. Eovaldi pitched six shutout innings to best Justin Verlander, who also

KANSAS CITY -- The 2024 American League Cy Young Award runner-up gave reason to believe on Friday night that he’ll be in the conversation once again. Seth Lugo dealt a season-high eight scoreless innings in the Royals’ 2-0 victory over the Astros in the series opener at Kauffman Stadium. Lugo

CHICAGO -- Colin Rea worked to a full count against Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber to begin the fourth inning on Friday afternoon. The Cubs starter then returned to his bread-and-butter fastball, firing it up and away, and sending the pitch beyond Schwarber’s swing for a strikeout. “He pitched with this

DENVER -- It's the Coors Field way. To pull out an 8-7 win over the Rockies on Friday in cold and rainy conditions, the Reds' offense had to be resourceful -- and altogether tenacious -- with how they produced their runs.

SAN DIEGO -- After Rays right fielder Kameron Misner turned a game-winning double play with a highlight reel sliding catch and throw to first to clinch a 1-0 victory over the Padres on Friday night at Petco Park, he gave a quick shoutout to his starting pitcher. “Baz Day is

The end of April is always an interesting time on the prospect calendar. Jim Callis and I are neck deep in finishing our Draft Top 150, which comes out next week. We've also had a slew of exciting callups to the big leagues since the season started, and while we're

It’s hard to conjure up a better birthday gift than this. After getting a brief (and homer-less) taste of pro ball last summer, Seaver King mashed his first pro long ball in High-A Wilmington's 4-3 loss to visiting Aberdeen on Friday night at Daniel S. Frawley Stadium. The Nationals' No.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Everything went right for the Twins in Friday night’s 11-4 victory over the Angels. Well, almost everything. Rookie designated hitter Luke Keaschall suffered a nondisplaced fracture of his right forearm in the first inning and will spend the immediate future on the injured list.

ST. LOUIS -- Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell was removed from Friday’s 3-2 loss to the Cardinals with left oblique tightness. “He's got an MRI in the morning,” manager Pat Murphy said. “I think we'll know more after that.” Mitchell, who started in right field, left the game after the fourth
