What better way to celebrate America's 250th birthday weekend than with the national pastime all in one place?

NEW YORK – In a game that saw the Twins lose their All-Star center fielder to injury, the club’s other All-Star representative was at his very best. Byron Buxton chose to be smart when he departed Sunday’s game in the first inning after reaggravating the right hip injury that caused

CLEVELAND -- During a recent television broadcast outside of Chicago, right-hander Davis Martin heard about one of the announcers still trying to figure out where the White Sox are in terms of their 2026 success. “That’s fine. That’s where we are at,” a smiling Martin told MLB.com. “We are going

The top-rated talent in the 2026 Draft has the best all-around tools, and that's no coincidence. Based on MLB Pipeline's scouting grades on the Draft Top 250 Prospects list, evaluated on the 20-80 scouting scale where 50 represents big league average, Texas high school shortstop Grady Emerson's five tools add

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres entered play Sunday in the midst of their longest losing streak since 2013. Clearly, it isn’t sitting well.

ATLANTA -- Nolan McLean's latest start did not begin swimmingly. It ended up in a much better place. McLean allowed three first-inning runs to the Braves at Truist Park on Sunday, putting the Mets in an early hole. But beginning with a double play to end that inning, McLean retired

NEW YORK -- Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. left Sunday’s game against the Twins at Yankee Stadium after five innings because of right big toe discomfort. X-rays on the toe were negative, and the Yankees announced that Chisholm will be reassessed further on Monday.

CHICAGO -- The Cubs came into this season planning on contending for the division crown. Having to fight off the Cardinals in the National League Wild Card picture was probably not high on the list of expectations, given St. Louis’ recent history. The Cardinals came into Wrigley Field this weekend

KANSAS CITY -- Bryce Harper has heard the word “elite” too many times to remember the past several months. Is he? Isn’t he?

SEATTLE -- Two days removed from being hit in the head by a throw, Julio Rodríguez was back in the outfield at T-Mobile Park on Sunday afternoon, playing catch ahead of the Mariners’ final home game of the first half against the Blue Jays. Rodríguez exited the Mariners’ game against

CLEVELAND -- The city of Charlotte and Truist Field, home of the White Sox Triple-A affiliate, soon will have liftoff courtesy of Munetaka Murakami. Although he was scheduled to test his running one more time Sunday, the White Sox first baseman was set to leave Monday to join the Knights

CINCINNATI -- Nick Lodolo has been searching not only for success on the mound but also deeper starts that can help himself and the Reds get on track. On Sunday, Lodolo achieved his mission objectives. The outcome was a much-needed 3-2 Cincinnati victory over the Orioles that salvaged the final

ATLANTA -- It is July, which means it’s Trade Deadline season. Asked about the Deadline shortly after the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza earlier this month, president of baseball operations David Stearns responded that he hasn’t thought about it at all. At the time, that made sense. Stearns has been

LOS ANGELES -- Warm up the trumpets. Edwin Díaz is closing in on his return to the Dodgers. Díaz threw his first live batting practice since having surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow ahead of Sunday's finale against the Padres at Dodger Stadium, facing Alex Freeland and

HOUSTON -- When the 2005 Astros got off to a disastrous 15-30 start despite having one of the most loaded rosters in the Major Leagues, manager Phil Garner wouldn’t entertain any thought of the team getting back into contention until they reached the .500 mark. That team hit .500 on
