DENVER -- Shohei Ohtani wasted no time in extending his remarkable on-base streak to 49 games, ripping a leadoff double down the right-field line in the Dodgers’ series opener against the Rockies at Coors Field on Friday night.

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

BOSTON – Ranger Suarez got $130 million for performances like Friday night's. Signed to a five-year pact in January to slot to follow ace Garrett Crochet atop the Red Sox rotation, Suarez delivered his first Fenway Park gem against the Tigers. He posted eight shutout innings in a scoreless duel

NEW YORK – Ryan McMahon picked an ideal time for his first extra-base hit of the season, lifting a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning that powered the Yankees to a 4-2 victory over the Royals on Friday evening at Yankee Stadium. Out of the lineup against a right-handed

PHILADELPHIA -- Martín Pérez passed through waivers, rejected an outright assignment, became a free agent, signed a Minor League deal and then was slotted right back in the same rotation spot he had been in before the Braves initially designated him for assignment on Sunday. “It worked,” a smiling Austin

ANAHEIM – The Los Angeles Angels’ charter flight back from New York on Thursday should have been loud. The team was fresh off a gritty series against the Yankees, the kind of road trip that usually fuels a boisterous ride home. Instead, as the plane crossed into California, the cabin

WASHINGTON -- Heliot Ramos needed that. With one cathartic swing, Ramos took a big step toward breaking out of his early season slump, launching a three-run home run to spark the Giants’ 10-5 series-opening win over the Nationals on Friday night at Nationals Park.

PITTSBURGH – You’re unlikely to hear an excuse from Bubba Chandler after a less than stellar outing on the mound. Quite the opposite actually. The right-hander has filed plenty of grievances about his own pitching through the first few weeks of the season, mostly related to struggles with command resulting

It's 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.

CLEVELAND -- The Orioles haven’t been scoring many early runs of late. They’ve often been playing from behind, which is not a formula for long-term success. But sometimes, it can still work out just fine. That was the case Monday, when Baltimore erased a six-run deficit in a come-from-behind win

CHICAGO -- The Cubs spent the first couple weeks of this season searching for consistency within their offense. From manager Craig Counsell to the players, there was a repeated mantra that things were bound to turn around soon, given the list of notable names throughout Chicago’s lineup. Over the past

NEW YORK – Gerrit Cole pitched 4 1/3 innings in his first Minor League rehab start Friday night for Double-A Somerset. Cole, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery performed in March 2025, allowed three runs on three hits and one walk against the Phillies’ Double-A Reading affiliate. The right-hander

One of the best starting pitchers in baseball right now -- maybe the best -- doesn't even throw a four-seam fastball. But that's how nasty Cristopher Sánchez is. He doesn't need one. That's rarer than you might realize. Nearly every Major League starter has a four-seamer. Only a small handful,

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota native Brandon Williamson gave up one run over 5 1/3 innings and Eugenio Suárez made big plays with his bat and his glove on Friday as the Reds beat the Twins, 2-1.

VERO BEACH, Fla. -- Eyeblack streaked across Malia Bagley’s cheekbones as sweat cut through it. The red seams of a spinning baseball blurred on its way to the plate. She dug her cleats into the dirt and adjusted her stance, a long ponytail slipping from beneath her helmet. Every detail

PHOENIX -- You’ll have to wait another week to see Trey Yesavage back in the big leagues. Yesavage will make another rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, which will surely be his last one before rejoining the Blue Jays back in Toronto after their series on the West Coast against

MIAMI -- The Brewers scored three in the top of the 10th and beat the Marlins, 7-5, for their third straight win in the opener at loanDepot park on Friday. Milwaukee, who took the final two games of its home series with the Blue Jays, led 3-0 and 4-1 on

NEW YORK – Cam Schlittler was practically snarling as he stood at his clubhouse locker on Sunday at Tropicana Field, kicking himself for “making the wrong pitches” too many times. The Yankees’ right-hander didn’t have that problem on Friday night, especially early. Schlittler came out of the gate hot, retiring

It’s hard to imagine a more intimidating experience in baseball at the moment than batting against Mason Miller. The Padres’ fireballing closer has faced 30 batters this year, and precisely one of them has gotten a hit. (Luis Arraez, for the record.) Twenty-three of them have struck out. Miller hasn’t

Garret Anderson, a World Series hero and one of the great Angels players of all time, passed away suddenly at the age of 53, the club announced on Friday. “The Angels organization is mourning the loss of one of our franchise’s most beloved icons, Garret Anderson,” said Angels owner Arte

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. -- Anthony Volpe took another positive step forward in his path back to the Bronx on Friday night as he got through his third rehab game with Double-A Somerset -- finishing with a hit, a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored over five innings. This is

PITTSBURGH -- It has been a stressful and emotional 10 days for Drew Rasmussen and his family, but some sense of normalcy has finally returned. Rasmussen and his wife, Stevie, brought their newborn daughter, Miller Drew, home on Thursday night. And on Friday, Rasmussen flew north to rejoin the Rays

Padres No. 4 prospect Kash Mayfield has been nearly unhittable to start the 2026 season. San Diego's first-round selection in the 2024 MLB Draft took the mound in High-A Fort Wayne's 1-0 victory at Classic Auto Group Park over Lake County and worked five scoreless innings, allowing just one hit,

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
