You don't have to be the child of a Major Leaguer to become one yourself, but hey, it certainly doesn't hurt. Whether these sons grew up in big league clubhouses, benefited from their father's expert coaching, or simply inherited some good genes, it's hardly rare to see familiar names from

ANAHEIM -- CC Sabathia continued to move toward a significant milestone on Wednesday, striking out three Angels to give the veteran left-hander 2,997 for his career, three shy of becoming the 17th pitcher in Major League history to reach the 3,000 strikeout plateau. With a large group of friends and

CHICAGO -- There wasn't a question of if the Cubs could score enough runs against young Dodgers fireballer Walker Buehler, but when. It wasn't until the sixth inning, but the offense was unfazed in the Cubs' 7-6 victory Wednesday night at Wrigley Field. Up to that point, the Cubs had

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the No.1 prospect in the sport, is on his way to Toronto to begin his Major League career. From a scouting perspective, he might be the best pure hitting prospect in recent history. But what does that mean in terms of actual numbers in the box score?

ANAHEIM -- When the Yankees' West Coast swing began on Monday evening, Clint Frazier stood in front of his locker and said that the injured list was "too crowded" for him to stop playing, just hours after manager Aaron Boone offered an encouraging report on Giancarlo Stanton's progress. That landscape

HOUSTON -- The Twins came out swinging and aggressive against Astros ace Justin Verlander on Wednesday night. That was evident when leadoff hitter Max Kepler turned on the second pitch of the game -- a well-located fastball up and in -- and fouled it off. If you know anything about

ANAHEIM -- Andrelton Simmons has been heating up at the plate over the last week, and on Wednesday night, he smacked two homers off Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia at Angel Stadium. But it wasn't enough in a tough 6-5 loss that saw the Angels fail to protect a five-run lead

BOSTON -- Oh, the quirks of Fenway Park. In the bottom of the third inning of Wednesday night's 11-4 win over the Tigers, Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez hit a hard grounder into the corner in left that got stuck. Stuck on what? Make that stuck in what. The baseball

A two-time Gold Glove Award winner at first base, the Cubs' Anthony Rizzo showed his range and speed early in Wednesday night's game against the Dodgers at Wrigley Field. Cody Bellinger led off the second inning by chopping a Cole Hamels pitch down the first-base line, where Rizzo fielded the

ST. LOUIS -- As much as manager Mike Shildt may insist that the Cardinals’ only true opponent is itself, the standings always tell a different story. And that story for the past two seasons has been that the Cards haven’t measured up to a pair of division opponents. That may

CINCINNATI -- As he strolled toward the mound during the sixth inning of Wednesday night’s 3-1 win over the Reds, Braves manager Brian Snitker simply wanted confirmation from veteran catcher Brian McCann, who had the utmost confidence Mike Soroka had the mettle necessary to further extend beyond his limits. “I
