The starting pitching matchup for Tuesday night's All-Star Game presented by Mastercard will feature a pair of heavyweights. The Pirates’ Paul Skenes and Detroit’s Tarik Skubal, two of the best pitchers in baseball, will be the starters for this year's Midsummer Classic at Atlanta's Truist Park, Ken Rosenthal announced during

NEW YORK -- Yankees megastar Aaron Judge is used to breaking new ground with his prodigious power -- and Saturday was no different. In the ninth inning of a 5-2 loss to the Cubs, Judge connected on the 350th home run of his sensational career, becoming the fastest to reach

MINNEAPOLIS -- In a magnificent year for Byron Buxton, Saturday marked a new high. On a warm, sunny afternoon at Target Field, on his bobblehead day, with his second All-Star appearance just three days away, Buxton turned in one of the best games in his decorated career and one that

BOSTON -- On a sunny and warm Saturday afternoon, Garrett Crochet took the mound to a chorus of cheers as “Rooster” by Alice In Chains played over the Fenway Park speakers. Making his final start before the All-Star break, Boston’s lefty ace proceeded to put a stamp on his expectation-exceeding

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Dodgers have come to expect another side of Shohei Ohtani whenever their two-way superstar takes the mound.

The next generation took a turn in the spotlight in Saturday's All-Star Futures Game. The National League team hosted the festivities at Truist Park and took home a 4-2 victory behind the big bat of the game's Most Valuable Player Josue De Paula (Dodgers). Cubs top prospect Owen Caissie also

CHICAGO -- Chicago’s Captain and Chicago’s Pope are now officially connected. During Saturday’s pregame ceremony celebrating the 20-year-anniversary of the 2005 White Sox World Series championship, Paul Konerko, the eventual captain of that special crew, was presented with a special White Sox No. 14 jersey signed by Pope Leo XIV.

Thwack. Thwack. Thwack. In preparation for Monday's T-Mobile Home Run Derby, Nationals star James Wood filled American Family Field with the soothing sounds of bat crushing ball. And thanks to Drew Rossi, the club's bullpen catcher, we got an up-close feel for the sounds and sights of what's to come

As if All-Star Week doesn't promise enough firsts, we're getting you started a little early this year. Four Japanese-born pitchers got the start for their respective teams today: Shinnosuke Ogasawara for the Nationals, Shohei Ohtani for the Dodgers, Yusei Kikuchi for the Angels and Yu Darvish for the Padres. Pretty

ATLANTA -- When a switch-hitter is due up for the opposition and you’re going to the bullpen, who do you call upon? The switch-pitcher, of course. So there was Mariners prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje on Saturday afternoon at Truist Park, thrust into action in an entertaining bottom of the second inning

NEW YORK – Yankees left-hander Max Fried left Saturday’s 5-2 loss against the Cubs after three innings because of a blister on his left index finger.

MILWAUKEE -- If this was Brandon Woodruff on a limited pitch count with modest zip on his fastball, imagine what it could look like on the other side of the All-Star break with a few more innings on his surgically repaired right shoulder.

Backed by a historic partnership with Major League Baseball, the Athletes Unlimited Softball League has launched its inaugural season and will be pitting its four teams against each other until the championship weekend in late July.

ATLANTA -- The All-Star Futures Game puts the game’s best prospects on one field for an afternoon each July, creating lasting memories for both players and fans.

DETROIT -- One of the best intangibles to develop in baseball is a short memory. Commit a crucial error? Tomorrow’s a new day. Give up a grand slam? There’s always the next start. Slump at the plate? Plenty more ABs on the way. This can be applied to a team

MILWAUKEE -- Brewers pitching phenom Jacob Misiorowski didn’t have time to look at his phone on Saturday morning, and he certainly didn’t have the inclination to wade into the conversation about his addition to the National League All-Star team on Friday after just five MLB starts. The 23-year-old had a

NEW YORK -- Pitching is certainly an area of need for the Cubs, but it sure doesn’t feel like it when Matthew Boyd is on the mound. In a streak of exceptional starts, the All-Star left-hander delivered his best yet on Saturday afternoon, quieting a red-hot Yankees lineup. He needed

ATLANTA -- Easton Arceo opened a package that arrived on Tuesday at his family’s home in Chino Hills, Calif. Inside was a pack of Topps trading cards, which Arceo quickly realized had his face on them. The bottom of the cards read: Your wish came true. You’re going to the

ST. LOUIS -- Braves right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. has dazzled throughout many “firsts” in his All-Star career. He added a couple more during Saturday afternoon’s game against the Cardinals.

ATLANTA -- Josue De Paula learned a lot working out with All-Stars Juan Soto and Elly De La Cruz, but very little of his education had to do with their talent on the baseball field. The Dodgers’ No. 1 prospect wasn’t looking for tips on his swing or his approach

KANSAS CITY -- Frankie Montas might have gotten a late start this season, but he’s making up for lost time. In just his fourth outing for the Mets, Montas worked five-plus strong innings on a sweltering day as New York held off the Royals, 3-1, on Saturday at Kauffman Stadium.

ATLANTA -- Air Force Staff Sergeant John Dobler passed away 11 years ago, but his wife, Amanda, feels his presence still so much of the time. Saturday morning was no different as she watched her 13-year-old son, Noah, run around and play baseball at the Play Ball Park in the
