Aaron Judge is doing it all in Team USA's World Baseball Classic matchup vs. Mexico. In the top of the third, the Yankees right fielder fired a crisp one-hopper to third to oust Joey Ortiz, who was trying to advance from first to third on a single by Jarren Duran.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Two historically great international baseball nations. One World Baseball Classic game to rule them all.

MIAMI -- Nicaragua may have been the first team in Pool D eliminated from the possibility of advancing, but manager Dusty Baker isn’t approaching Monday night’s game against Venezuela any differently than he would if his team was fighting for a spot in the quarterfinals.

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The Phillies couldn’t let Jesús Luzardo go. Luzardo didn’t want to go anywhere, either.

HOUSTON -- Paul Skenes has dominated on the mound in an Air Force uniform. In an LSU uniform. In a Bradenton Marauders and Altoona Curve and Indianapolis Indians uniform. And of course in a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform. But the one he's wearing right now is different.

Four teams have advanced out of pool play at the 2026 World Baseball Classic, leaving four spots in the next round up for grabs. Samurai Japan clinched the top spot in Pool C with a narrow victory over Australia on Sunday, while Korea secured the second seed in that pool

HOUSTON -- Tarik Skubal will not make any more starts for Team USA at the 2026 World Baseball Classic after all. The ace left-hander will return to Tigers Spring Training in Lakeland, Fla., after the United States' game against Mexico on Monday night at Daikin Park. U.S. manager Mark DeRosa,

MIAMI -- Fernando Tatis Jr. spent the first two games of the World Baseball Classic setting the table for his teammates. Monday, he decided to eat. Tatis hit the first grand slam by a Dominican Republic player in Classic history, setting a team record with six RBIs to lead the

The World Baseball Classic has been a stage for players across the world to show off their talents, and plenty of prospects have thrived in the spotlight. Players ranked on organizational Top 30 Prospects lists have shown out, in particular.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- The word should be out by now: Don’t start off Kevin McGonigle with a cookie. Six days after the Tigers’ top prospect – and MLB’s No. 2 prospect overall – started off the Tigers’ visit to the Dominican Republic by turning on Luis Severino’s 98 mph fastball

The Dominican Republic team has been a slugging juggernaut so far this World Baseball Classic, with a tournament-high nine home runs. Juan Soto has one of those, a run rule game-ender, and during Monday's breezy 10-1 victory over Israel he made a bid for two more. Both of them came

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Unlike many of the top-tier aces around baseball, Garrett Crochet decided on his own that pitching in the World Baseball Classic didn’t make sense for him this time around. His reasons were sound, and he laid it out clearly to Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig

TAMPA, Fla. – Spencer Jones arrived at Yankees camp with a clear understanding of the landscape. Any discussion of a pending competition for a starting outfield spot was quieted when the organization made offseason moves to re-sign Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger. Instead, Jones knew that his most likely scenario

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Francisco Lindor remains on track to be ready for Opening Day, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Monday, but he'll have to play some Grapefruit League games first. “That would be a prerequisite,” Stearns said. “We would not have his first competition be

Fernando Tatis Jr. isn't playing for Slam Diego right now, but he brought a little of it with him to Team Dominican Republic's 10-1 win over Israel on Monday afternoon. The Padres superstar launched a no-doubt grand slam in the second inning, the first in Dominican Republic's World Baseball Classic

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Andrew McCutchen stood outside the Rangers’ visiting clubhouse and chuckled as his teammate Sam Haggerty exclaimed, “He’s still got it!” while walking to his car. McCutchen, 39, signed a Minor League deal with the Rangers on Friday and made his Cactus League debut for Texas on Monday

SAN JUAN -- Paolo Espino doffed his cap to the Panama fans at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in Puerto Rico and gave his teammates high-fives and hugs as they poured out of the dugout. A 20-year career that started way back in the very first World Baseball Classic in 2006 had

TOKYO -- Korea began its week celebrating home runs by spreading their arms wide as if they were on an airplane, carrying an inflatable "M" to stand for Miami. On Monday night, needing a win against Australia and for everything to go exactly right, it made it happen. Forget the

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Always a fan of Spring Training, David Wright arrived at Mets camp Sunday with extra purpose. The former Mets All-Star third baseman will be working with the Mets' new third baseman, Bo Bichette.

MARYVALE, Ariz. -- You had to really be paying attention to see it, and even then, peering closely. You also had to be there, because the game wasn’t televised. On Sunday, it might’ve looked like George Kirby was adjusting his belt throughout his second Cactus League start vs. the Brewers.

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Most athletes slow down as they get older. They become less durable and play fewer games. New Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo isn’t like most athletes. Unlike many players, Nimmo, 32, has only become more durable as he’s gotten deeper into his career. He’s played 151 games or
