PHOENIX -- Starting pitching is akin to air conditioning during the Arizona summer in the sense that you can never have enough of it. To that end, the D-backs agreed to terms on a 1-year contract with right-hander Zack Littell, the club announced. They also got right-hander Mike Soroka back

PHOENIX -- It didn’t start well after a sweep in late March. But the D-backs’ season series with the Dodgers ended gloriously. For the first time since 2018, the club has toppled its division rivals, winning seven of the 13 regular-season contests, including six of the last seven.

When the D-backs landed Dean Livingston with their fourth-round selection in the 2025 Draft, they were banking on his upside. Even at 6-foot-4, he hadn't entered the starting rotation at Hebron Christian Academy in Dacula, Ga., until his senior year. But he had the size and with a 92-94 mph

David Hagaman closed the book on his High-A Hillsboro tenure with a flourish last Saturday -- a career-high 10 strikeouts across 6 1/3 frames of one-run ball. Next up: the Texas League. Hagaman kept the good times rolling for Double-A Amarillo on Friday night, matching his career best in punchouts

Four times earlier this season, Josh Hartle stepped on the mound and stared across at the Harrisburg Senators in the opposing dugout. But on Thursday night, he took the hill with high red socks and an “H” emblazoned on a cap of his own, having made his Nationals organization debut

The Double-A Rocket City Trash Pandas are definitely one of the more popular teams on the Minor League canvas. But not since last May when Christian Moore was hitting rockets all over Toyota Field was there a Top 100 prospect who called Rocket City home. That all changed with a

Nolan Perry went 18 days between starts for Double-A New Hampshire. The last time he stood on a Minor League mound was July 19, when a line drive hit him flush on the side of the head. Toronto originally stated he would be week-to-week in his concussion recovery, but after

In the days after Monday's Trade Deadline, there’s always a flurry of new faces in new places across the Minors. Josiah Ragsdale fit that to a tee, having arrived in the Cardinals organization as part of the return package for pitchers Dustin May and JoJo Romero, who stayed inside the

It’s a busy time around the Athletics farm with 2026 draftees arriving, none louder than first-round pick (No. 8 overall) Drew Burress, who crushed his first pro homer in his Single-A Stockton debut on Tuesday night. But prime development is still happening elsewhere, namely Double-A Midland, where 2025 first-rounder Jamie

Before Mitch Voit was able to make his Double-A Binghamton debut, there was rain. Tuesday's contest was postponed, delaying the first appearance in the upper Minors for the Mets’ No. 5 prospect by 24 hours. But once he strode into the box as the Rumble Ponies’ new leadoff hitter Wednesday,

As with many young prospects who are matched up against older and more experienced competition, the production has ebbed and flowed for Hayden Alvarez. But when it all clicks like it did Thursday night, it’s easy to see why the 19-year-old has become the Angels’ top position player prospect (No.

One of the endearing aspects of HomeTrust Park is the ample ground and shrubbery beyond the outfield fences. When a home run is sent into orbit, it gives off the illusion that it’ll travel deep into the North Carolina scenery. While Xavier Neyens' first home roundtripper for High-A Asheville didn’t

Success on the international market is determined in the long run and comes in many shapes, sizes and swing paths. No one would have rushed to claim the Reds the kings of the scene in 2018 when they signed a 16-year-old Elly De La Cruz for $65,000. But they’ve also

There have been a lot of additional eyes on Riders Field this week with five-time All-Star and two-time World Series MVP Corey Seager in town as part of his rehab assignment. The 32-year-old manned shortstop and logged three at-bats before departing early, all boxes checked for his upcoming return to

In the past decade, the Orioles have developed a knack for unearthing -- and then developing -- pitching prospect gems. Kyle Bradish never began a season higher than No. 10 on the club’s Top 30 list, yet received the largest contract for a pitcher in franchise history earlier this month.

The Athletics loved the upside of Breyson Guedez as the 2025 international signing period opened and they backed up that belief by handing him a $1.5 million signing bonus, the third-highest in their class. But there was also a bit of risk associated -- as a teenage standout in his

Even opposing home broadcasters know that when Sebastian Walcott strolls into the batter’s box, you gotta be careful. Those are the exact words San Antonio’s Brian Yancelson used seconds before the Rangers’ top prospect sizzled an RBI double to right field in the fifth inning, one of his four hits

If there has been one major takeaway from Minor League Baseball in 2026, it’s that the Dodgers have some guys on the farm who can mash. James Tibbs III was the crown prince of April, Mike Sirota ran up a 72-game on-base streak and Josue De Paula, Zyhir Hope, Eduardo

There’s been a cavalcade from the upper Minors to downtown Phoenix during 2026 with Ryan Waldschmidt, Tommy Troy, LuJames Groover, Mitch Bratt, Kohl Drake and others all making their Major League debuts in the past few months. But that upward mobility has also opened the door behind them for fast-rising

They don’t call just anyone “Spark” after all. Max Clark provided the ultimate jolt atop the lineup during Triple-A Toledo's 5-1 win over Louisville on Tuesday at Fifth Third Field, socking a leadoff homer off left-hander Brandon Leibrandt (Reds), who has eight Major League appearances under his belt. MLB’s No.
