ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays opened the weekend series hoping to make up ground in the American League East against the Yankees. That’s exactly what they were able to accomplish with Sunday’s 4-3 win over the Bombers at Tropicana Field. Through six innings, it looked as if the Rays were

The combination of Giancarlo Stanton’s leaner frame and lethal power permitted the Yankees to dream on big numbers, but after missing most of last season, the designated hitter could not avoid the injured list. Stanton was removed from a 5-3 loss to the Rays on Saturday, the second game of

NEW YORK -- Among the most impactful plays Andrés Giménez made in the Mets’ 4-2 win over the Marlins was one that did not show up in the box score. Playing second base, Giménez ranged into shallow right field to snag a ball that Pete Alonso mishandled at first, keeping

BOSTON -- Mitch Moreland, the early home run king this season for the Red Sox, came through at just the right time on Sunday afternoon, mauling one over the Green Monster in left-center for a two-run walk-off shot that lifted his team to a 5-3 victory. It was Moreland’s second

The Reds placed second baseman Mike Moustakas on the 10-day injured list with a bruised left quad on Sunday, five days after he exited a game against the Indians in the sixth inning. The move is retroactive to Thursday. Cincinnati filled Moustakas' spot on the 28-man roster with right-hander Tejay

PITTSBURGH -- The morning after Phillip Evans left Saturday’s game on a stretcher following a collision with right fielder Gregory Polanco, the Pirates revealed that Evans sustained a concussion, a fractured jaw and “injuries to the face and mouth.” The Pirates placed Evans on the 45-day injured list, effectively ending

ST. PETERSBURG -- Rays starter Charlie Morton left Sunday’s 4-3 victory over the Yankees in the third inning with right shoulder inflammation.

Spencer Turnbull, who went 19 starts between victories not long ago, has now won back-to-back starts for the first time since April 2019. This one was all him, including the pep talk. While the sight of Turnbull yelling at himself on the mound in the sixth inning was unusual Sunday

Astros center fielder George Springer was out of the starting lineup for the third consecutive game Sunday against the A’s, after straining his right wrist diving for a ball Thursday in Arizona. Manager Dusty Baker said Springer hit in the batting cage prior to Sunday’s game in Oakland but he’s

Astros ace pitcher Justin Verlander, who suffered a right forearm strain in his first start of the season, is “not progressing as quickly as he’d like,” manager Dusty Baker said prior to Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the A’s in Oakland. Verlander threw six strong innings on July 24 against the

WASHINGTON -- When Juan Soto had cardboard cutouts of his family placed in left field for his season debut on Wednesday, he said he felt like his relatives were at Nationals Park with him. Perhaps one of them almost caught his first home run of 2020 on Saturday night, then.

NEW YORK -- The Mets, who made starting pitching depth a focal point of their offseason strategy, are again seeing that depth tested in the young season. The team on Sunday placed Michael Wacha on the 10-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, calling up catcher Ali Sánchez to

SAN DIEGO -- Call him the human 1-0 lead. Fernando Tatis Jr. sure knows how to start a ballgame. For the second consecutive night, the Padres’ shortstop launched a leadoff home run with his team’s first swing of the game. This time, he followed it by crushing a solo blast

OAKLAND -- Frankie Montas embraced the first Opening Day assignment of his career this season as an opportunity to prove that he can be a No. 1 pitcher in this league. Four starts in, he’s looked every bit of the ace the A’s were hoping for. The A’s rode another
