Nick Kurtz is walking his way right into the history books. On Friday, the A's second-year slugger drew a walk in his fourth plate appearance against the Guardians, marking his 20th straight game with a walk. That pulled him into a tie with Barry Bonds for the second-longest streak of

Following a see-saw road trip that featured a few back-breaking losses, the Tigers return to Comerica Park tonight to start a six-game homestand. They ought to be pretty happy about that, for a few reasons. Through 32 games, the Tigers (16-16) look like a completely different team at home than

He’s the catching coach for a reason. Orioles field coordinator and catching coach Joe Singley put his job title on display on Tuesday in the second game of Baltimore’s doubleheader with the Astros.

It's not often that a relief pitcher wins the Cy Young Award. There have been only nine relievers to win a Cy Young Award, and no one has accomplished the feat since Eric Gagne did so with the Dodgers in 2003. Might that streak come to an end this season?

There's a left-handed slugger atop our latest Hitter Power Rankings, but it's not the one that you're used to seeing at No. 1. Shohei Ohtani has occupied the top spot in each of our first two Hitter Power Rankings of the year. That's not the case this time, amid somewhat

Gerrit Cole threw 60 pitches in his third rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday afternoon, taking another significant step toward his eventual return to the big league mound. Cole scattered three hits while allowing three runs and recording three strikeouts across 5 2/3 innings of work in a 6-5

This time a year ago, much of the consternation over the then-first-place Mets surrounded Juan Soto’s season-opening slump -- and, in particular, the slugger’s failure to hit with runners in scoring position. This year, among a swarm of other issues plaguing the last-place Mets, we may need to wonder how

These are not your older sibling’s Colorado Rockies. Heck, these are not your Rockies, either. Colorado carries a 13-16 record into Tuesday’s series opener against the Reds, on the heels of a surgical three-game sweep of the Mets. Last year, the Rockies did not win their 13th game until mid

In his age-38 season, Aroldis Chapman is still going strong. The flame-throwing left-hander is rewriting the history books, too. Chapman struck out Baltimore's Tyler O'Neill in the ninth inning of a 5-3 Red Sox win on April 26. In doing so, he moved into sole possession of second place on

It’s good to be Roch Cholowsky these days. A few weeks after notching a multihomer game on his 21st birthday, the UCLA phenom launched a pair of home runs in the Bruins’ 9-6 loss to Sacramento State on Sunday. Cholowsky -- the top prospect in the 2026 MLB Draft, per

Most college players are lucky to be drafted once. Then there’s Bryce Boettcher, who heard his name called twice -- in different sports. Two years after the Astros selected him as an outfielder in the 13th round of the 2024 MLB Draft, Boettcher learned his football fate on Saturday. The

Fifty years ago on Saturday, an innocuous fourth inning at Dodger Stadium gave way to an indelible moment in baseball -- and American -- history. On April 25, 1976, the Dodgers hosted the Cubs in the rubber match of a three-game series. In the bottom of the fourth inning, two

No one throws more fastballs than Cam Schlittler. Through five starts, the Yankees right-hander is throwing fastballs 89.5% of the time, easily the highest rate among starting pitchers.

Everyone knows about Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. But did you know Ted Williams once had an 84-game on-base streak? Williams accomplished that feat during the 1949 season, setting a Modern Era (since 1900) record that still stands today. MLB hasn't seen a 60-game streak since 2006, though Shohei Ohtani

Following another rough outing on Tuesday night, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that the club will “re-evaluate” Jeff Hoffman's role as the team’s closer. “He’s going through it, obviously, a little bit,” Schneider said on Wednesday before the team’s 7-3 loss to the Angels. “So we’ll see. Use the

If Kevin Gausman had his way, we’d all be screaming for ice cream. The Blue Jays right-hander told the Toronto Star (subscription required) that he would add “maybe like 200 more ice cream trucks” to the city of Toronto if he were elected mayor.

The Guardians have a swarm of young hitters on the cusp of the Majors, with five position player prospects currently ranked in the Top 100 by MLB Pipeline. One of those prospects, Cooper Ingle, is off to a scorching start in 2026.

Anthony Eyanson’s professional career is off to a roaring start. Eyanson -- the Red Sox No. 10 prospect and Boston’s third-round pick in the 2025 Draft -- fired five scoreless frames in his start on Saturday night for High-A Greenville. The 21-year-old right-hander scattered two hits and walked none while

No one can stop Franklin Arias right now. Arias, MLB Pipeline’s No. 26 prospect -- and the Red Sox's No. 2 prospect -- homered in his third consecutive game for Double-A Portland on Friday night. The 20-year-old shortstop launched a no-doubt shot over the batter’s eye in straightaway center field

Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Coors Field is covered in snow. The Rockies and Dodgers are set to begin a four-game series in Denver on Friday night, but Mother Nature isn't making it easy. On Friday afternoon, snow blanketed the ballpark and created a winter wonderland that made

Back in March, when we debuted our first Hitter Power Rankings of the year, there was one prevailing question. Who would take home the top spot: Shohei Ohtani or Aaron Judge? Our voters gave the slight edge to Ohtani. Now, though, we have a few weeks of results to factor

Dinner is on Kevin McGonigle. On Wednesday, McGonigle and the Tigers agreed to an eight-year contract extension worth a guaranteed $150 million. In a press conference later that afternoon, Detroit ace Tarik Skubal masqueraded as a reporter to ask the rookie shortstop an all-important question.

A day after Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s costly bobble and subsequent confusion over baseball’s force play punctuated another Yankees loss, manager Aaron Boone defended his All-Star second baseman. “He’s not confused,” Boone told reporters on Sunday. “I think that’s his kind of default answer when he’s got [reporters] in front of

Now this is what you call a showdown. Two-time defending AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal will climb the mound opposite 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara this afternoon at Comerica Park as the Tigers host the Marlins at 1:40 p.m. ET. Hits will almost certainly be
