For the first time this season and the first time since joining the Cardinals’ organization as part of the Brendan Donovan trade, Jurrangelo Cijntje recorded an out from both sides of the mound. The Cardinals’ No. 5 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 81 delivered 4 2/3 strong innings on Tuesday

The Cubs are red-hot, winning seven straight games, even with double-digit pitchers from the 40-man roster currently on the injured list.

Carlos Rodón is scheduled to begin a Minor League rehab assignment at High-A Hudson Valley on Friday, the Yankees announced Tuesday. It will be the first game action for Rodón in 2026 after undergoing left arm surgery in the offseason. Hudson Valley has a unique circumstance on its hands, with

The scouting report on Eric Hartman is often all about his 70-grade speed, which helped him steal 48 bags in 89 games during his first professional season in 2025. On Tuesday, though, he put on an incredible power display. The Braves’ No. 20 prospect mashed three home runs for High-A

The Padres’ rotation has badly needed someone to step up, with Nick Pivetta, Joe Musgrove and Griffin Canning all already on the injured list to begin the season. Randy Vásquez might not wear a cape (at least while in the public eye), but he has been the hero San Diego

Typically, José Ramírez is the one being labeled among the most underrated players in MLB. But Tuesday, he deflected that honor toward a breakout teammate. While answering questions from fans and host Lauren Gardner on Chatting Practice Powered by Zoom Events on Tuesday, the reigning AL Player of the Week

Shohei Ohtani is unique in more than a few ways, and that uniqueness is always drawing attention from myriad places. His hitting and pitching prowess earn him a special roster designation as a “two-way player,” which does not count against the Dodgers’ 13-pitcher limit on the 26-man roster. The rule,

For the first time since an epic back-and-forth bout in the 2025 American League Wild Card Series, the Yankees and the Red Sox will do battle. New York travels to Boston for a three-game set on Tuesday at Fenway Park. The Yankees (13-9) just bludgeoned the Royals in a three-game

The Mets, losers of 11 in a row, could use a boost. Perhaps a boost like four-time All-Star Juan Soto. Fortunately for New York, the club still anticipates Soto (right calf strain) will be back in the fold at some point during the upcoming homestand, which begins Tuesday against the

Not much has gone wrong for the Dodgers in recent years, but the reigning champs did just lose back-to-back games for the first time in 2026, falling at the Rockies on Saturday and Sunday. In Sunday’s loss, not only did All-Star closer Edwin Díaz have more concerning struggles, but the

After a bumpy beginning to his first full professional season, Liam Doyle figured something out on Sunday. The Cardinals’ No. 2 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 29 pitched four innings of one-run baseball, scattering just a pair of hits alongside five strikeouts and one walk. Double-A Springfield’s bats, though, couldn’t

CHICAGO – While the Cubs have experienced a rash of injury setbacks throughout their pitching staff of late, the team is also preparing to have an important arm back in the mix soon. Lefty Matthew Boyd is on track to start against the Phillies on Wednesday at Wrigley Field. On

Travis Bazzana announced himself to the greater baseball world during the 2026 World Baseball Classic with Team Australia, but he’s now riding quite an early season hot streak in the Minor Leagues. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick collected three hits, including a pair of doubles, for Triple-A Columbus in

Shohei Ohtani has still been … well … Shohei Ohtani to begin 2026. He’s carrying a 48-game on-base streak with five home runs and a .910 OPS. But $240 million offseason acquisition Kyle Tucker is still finding his footing, and former MVP Mookie Betts is on the injured list with

Anthony Volpe took another step Thursday in his return from left shoulder surgery performed in October to repair a partially torn labrum. Volpe, who began his rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset on Tuesday, recorded his first hit in 2026 Minor League action in a 9-8 win over Reading on Thursday.

The relationship between a pitcher and his catcher is often an especially close one. They practice together constantly, go over scouting reports and need to have a connection on game day in order to succeed. The Pirates’ Braxton Ashcraft and Joey Bart might have just taken it a step further.

Shohei Ohtani isn’t just a four-time MVP and one of the most recognizable athletes in the world. He also has some of the game’s most recognizable movements -- from batting stance to pitching motions to facial expressions. His teammates have already enjoyed mocking Ohtani in the past (even in-game). Now,

Cole Mathis is finally getting the chance to play a healthy season in professional baseball, and he’s using that opportunity to absolutely demolish baseballs. The Cubs’ No. 14 prospect hit two home runs and a double in a 4-for-5 day with four RBIs, aiding a 5-4 walk-off win for Single-A

Dodgers fans and Mets fans alike may have been hoping for a chance to see Edwin Díaz take the mound at Dodger Stadium during this week’s series, with “Narco” blaring through the speakers as Díaz faces his former team for the first time since signing at three-year, $69 million contract

It was a wild, record-breaking day at the park for Lehigh baseball in an NCAA game against Coppin State on Tuesday. The Mountain Hawks defeated the Eagles, 38-6, in seven innings. That included 20(!) runs in the top of the first, the most in any Division I game. It topped

Eli Willits has plus speed. And defenders need to be on high alert because of it. Willits, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 Draft, used every bit of his 60-grade wheels to record his first professional home run for Single-A Fredericksburg -- on an inside-the-parker.

Astros rookie right-hander Tatsuya Imai was placed on the injured list after just three starts with right arm fatigue, with the move coming directly after a loss to the Mariners in which he recorded just one out and struggled to throw strikes. Imaging came back clean on Imai’s shoulder and

For the first time since being a key piece of the trade that sent closer Jhoan Duran to the Phillies, Twins No. 3 and MLB Pipeline No. 58 prospect Eduardo Tait produced a multi-home run game. Tait put his 60-grade power on full display Tuesday, blasting a first-inning pitch the

JoJo Parker, the No. 8 pick from the 2025 Draft, only just made his professional debut when the 2026 season started earlier this month. He’s already making big waves. The Blue Jays’ No. 2 prospect and MLB Pipeline's No. 40 absolutely clobbered his first professional home run for Single-A Dunedin
