MILWAUKEE -- As Brewers manager Pat Murphy held court ahead of Sunday’s 4-3 walk-off win in 10 innings against the Twins at American Family Field, he revealed rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt was undergoing an MRI on his right hamstring. The development was a bit of a surprise, as Pratt played

MILWAUKEE -- Jacob Misiorowski unleashed a four-seamer to Twins right fielder Alan Roden on Sunday afternoon, generating nothing but a meek half-swing to notch his fifth strikeout of the day. The 101.7 mph velocity was ho-hum (well, for him at least), but the strikeout itself marked yet another milestone for

MILWAUKEE -- Luis Lara initially lost the ball. When Twins third baseman Brooks Lee smoked a Jacob Misiorowski four-seamer deep into right field, it was evident Lara had trouble tracking it down. But then, just as the American Family Field crowd expressed audible concern, the Brewers’ rookie got a bead

MILWAUKEE -- It was evident early Saturday night that pulling off a win was going to be no easy feat for the Brewers. Many of Milwaukee’s best hitters appeared overmatched against starter Taj Bradley and the rest of the Twins’ pitching staff. Meanwhile, a pesky Minnesota lineup wasted little time

MILWAUKEE -- For the first time since Monday, Joey Ortiz got the start at third base for the Brewers. Unfortunately, his stay at the hot corner didn’t last long. Ortiz was removed from Saturday’s 4-3 win over the Twins after the bottom of the third inning, getting replaced by David

MILWAUKEE -- After a nearly one-month hiatus, a key piece of the Brewers’ lineup is close to making his return to the bigs. Milwaukee on Saturday announced that outfielder Sal Frelick was sent out to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville. It’ll be the 2024 Gold Glove Award winner's

MILWAUKEE -- On paper, giving the Brewers’ pitching staff an immediate four-run lead to work with seems like the perfect recipe to guarantee an easy victory. Milwaukee’s hurlers have combined to put together some of the best numbers in the Majors this year. And after the Brewers plated four runs

Within the span of seven pitches in the Cubs’ win over Minnesota Saturday, Nico Hoerner tallied four hits, knocking a single in each of the day’s at-bats. It was the kind of high-contact performance Chicago has come to know from the second baseman it signed to a six-year, $141 million

CHICAGO -- Matthew Boyd remembers what it was like celebrating Justin Verlander reaching 10 years of service time when both were teammates with the Tigers in 2015. As he acknowledged the milestone accomplishment of a likely future Hall of Famer, Boyd also couldn’t help but hope that one day he’d

CHICAGO -- Anthony Rizzo was merely taking in a game at Wrigley Field on Saturday. Sitting in the right-field bleachers alongside his teammates from the 2016 World Series champions -- who earlier helped dedicate a brand new Champions Gate monument outside the stadium -- the three-time All-Star likely assumed his

CHICAGO -- Joe Maddon stood up on a stage just outside of Wrigley Field on Saturday morning, holding up a page of notes from the first day of 2016 Spring Training. On it, the then-Cubs manager had scribbled what became one of the mottos for that year’s club -- embrace

In a way, the second hit of Henry Bolte’s May 13 MLB debut essentially provided the best preview of what the A’s were going to see from him through his first weeks in the bigs. On a 2-2 pitch against Cardinals starter Matthew Liberatore, Bolte topped a ball down the

CHICAGO -- Seiya Suzuki’s slug has been on full display for the Cubs over the past week. But on Wednesday at a scorching-hot Wrigley Field, his power hitting placed him alongside a former World Series MVP, a Hall of Famer and a player who could probably start penning his Cooperstown

CHICAGO -- It wasn’t so long ago that the Cubs were scuffling, trying to regain their footing after navigating through a 10-game losing streak. Those hard times for the North Siders are quickly becoming a distant memory, replaced now with the team many saw as an NL Central heavyweight coming

MILWAUKEE – Throughout Spencer Jones’ first weekend in the bigs, it had been a struggle to erase concerns about his swing-and-miss tendencies. The Yankees’ No. 6 prospect struck out in four of his first six at-bats, including one against Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski in his first MLB plate appearance. On

MILWAUKEE – Carlos Rodón spent the bulk of the 2025 season pitching with a bone spur in his left elbow, which severely hindered his ability to do much of anything with his arm. Besides posting a 3.09 ERA across a career-high 195 1/3 innings, that is. But after undergoing offseason

MILWAUKEE – The Yankees’ bullpen entered Saturday night’s bout with the Brewers boasting a collective 3.18 ERA, second only to the Rangers in the Majors. It was the kind of résumé that implies the unit was built for a contest like the one that unfolded at American Family Field. The

MILWAUKEE – Manager Aaron Boone admitted Saturday that, as difficult as it was watching the Yankees struggle against Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski the previous night, the loss was easy for his club to flush. One reason why? New York was countering Milwaukee with its own flamethrower in Cam Schlittler.

MILWAUKEE – Max Fried was put on notice immediately on Friday night – he was going to need his best stuff on the mound. His counterpart – Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski – set down the Yankees' first three hitters with some of the fastest pitches ever seen in the pitch-tracking

As we make our way into May, one thing seems pretty clear through the season’s opening month -- luck has not been on Ke'Bryan Hayes’ side. In fact, several metrics tell us the Reds’ third baseman finished April as the unluckiest hitter in baseball. But if his latest few games

CHICAGO -- Adolis García smoked a high slider in the ninth towards the left-field bleachers, immediately turning to roar at the Phillies’ bench as the ball landed over the Wrigley Field ivy. His teammates responded in kind, collectively pounding on the dugout railing as he rounded the bases. García had

CHICAGO -- Cristopher Sánchez entered the Phillies’ Thursday afternoon series finale against the Cubs at Wrigley Field with a sparkling 1.59 ERA. But what that number didn’t indicate was how many of Sánchez’s starts have involved the Philly southpaw navigating through tons of traffic.

CHICAGO – The Phillies had taken numerous avenues in attempting to fix the ongoing struggles of starter Taijuan Walker. On Thursday morning, they determined there were no more options available. Philadelphia granted Walker his unconditional release ahead of the club’s series finale against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The move

CHICAGO -- It says a lot about Cristopher Sánchez that he, in his own words, “can be better” than how he’s pitched so far in 2026, and yet he still owns the fifth-best ERA among qualified MLB starters. But that does more than enough to explain why the Phillies signed
