ANAHEIM -- It was the Jo Show in front of a sold-out crowd of delirious Angels fans who couldn’t believe what they witnessed Saturday night. Angels right fielder Jo Adell robbed not one, not two, but three home runs in an absolutely unbelievable and unprecedented defensive effort to preserve a

Jo Adell outdid himself on Saturday night with a defensive performance for the ages. The Angels right fielder robbed not one, not two, but three home runs in L.A.'s 1-0 victory over the Mariners. Two of Adell's home run robberies occurred in the game's final two innings, preventing Seattle from

NEW YORK – The Yankees have spent the season’s first week highlighting aggressiveness and athleticism as their defining traits. On Saturday, they added a new one to the list: resilience.

WASHINGTON -- When the Dodgers came to Nationals Park last April, there was a real sense that Andy Pages' job was on the line. The young center fielder was scuffling, having gone 4-for-34 (.118) to start the season and displaying some troubling free-swinging tendencies. That series, Pages was left out

SAN FRANCISCO -- Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Saturday the news on Juan Soto was “mixed,” which is a whole lot better than the worst possible case a day after the franchise cornerstone strained his right calf while running the bases in New York's 10-3 win over the Giants. An

Baseball's three hardest-throwing starters all reside in the National League Central, and amazingly, none of them is named Paul Skenes.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates didn't have the benefit of a towering home run or a game-changing extra-base hit for much of the game. Somebody didn't turn in a long start on the mound, and the bullpen didn't have an opportunity to lock down a clutch save in the ninth inning.

Opening Day marks a new era for the longstanding relationship between MLB and ESPN. Though ESPN is no longer the home for “Sunday Night Baseball” (now on NBC) or the Home Run Derby (now on Netflix), the sports broadcasting network is actually bringing fans more baseball than ever.

DETROIT -- The Tigers couldn’t have scripted a much better return for Justin Verlander to Comerica Park: A national stage for a Sunday night broadcast with the downtown Detroit skyline lit up in the background. But with a 43-year-old pitcher, health is hard to plan. Verlander’s return to the mound

SAN FRANCISCO -- Maybe the Mets were not just reciting platitudes when they said they had enough talent in the room to overcome Juan Soto’s absence as he dealt with a mild right calf strain. The Mets have scored 17 runs in 17 frames since Soto went down in the

You know CC Sabathia, right? Hall of Famer, six-time All-Star, Cy Young Award winner, World Series champion with the Yankees in 2009 -- you know who we're talking about. Here's a fun fact: That guy, a New York baseball legend, rode the subway for the first time on Friday.

CHICAGO -- Alejandro Kirk has a fracture in his left thumb, the Blue Jays announced, which also dislocated when he caught a foul tip off the bottom edge of his glove in Friday’s 5-4 loss to the White Sox in Chicago. Kirk is headed to the IL, but for how

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Slowly but surely, Astros pitcher Tatsuya Imai is learning what life in the Major Leagues is all about. He learned Saturday that when you pick up your first career victory, which he did by throwing 5 2/3 scoreless innings in an 11-0 win over the A’s, your

KANSAS CITY -- Royals reliever Daniel Lynch IV laid his hand, body, all of it, on the line to make a stellar defensive play on Saturday afternoon.

CHICAGO -- The Blue Jays swung a small deal in the middle of Saturday’s game, acquiring infielder Tyler Fitzgerald from the Giants for cash considerations. Fitzgerald, who was designated for assignment by the Giants on Monday, will join the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.

KANSAS CITY -- The visiting clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium has a different kind of visitor this weekend with the Brewers in town. A turtle. Scratch that -- a tortoise. Its name is Bobby Jr., named after Bobby Witt and Bobby Witt Jr. -- the father-son duo and close friends of

DETROIT -- Kerry Carpenter has hit enough big home runs on baseball’s biggest stages that there’s a classic, recognizable Kerry Carpenter swing. Saturday’s home run wasn’t one of them. Cardinals starter Dustin May had followed a changeup off the plate with a changeup right on the outside corner, a pitch

ARLINGTON -- Young Reds starting pitcher Rhett Lowder doesn't have the power arm and triple-digit velocity that garners adjectives like "electric."
