SAN FRANCISCO -- Over their first nine games of the season, the Giants have shown that their offense can beat you in multiple ways. They can hit the ball out of the ballpark. They can get timely hits. They can play some small ball. On Sunday, they showed that they’re

SAN FRANCISCO -- There were sun-soaked skies throughout the weekend at Oracle Park, yet for the Mariners, when it rained, it poured. Seattle was swept by San Francisco in a 5-4 walk-off loss in the bottom of the ninth inning on Sunday afternoon, but far more concerning was that Victor

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies confirmed what they already knew before they played the Dodgers this weekend at Citizens Bank Park. They’re a good team, too.

The concept of the "Yes Day" can often strike fear in parents, an occasion in which they agree (usually within reason) to their children's requests. Can we watch cartoons at breakfast? Sure. How about ice cream for dinner? Why not. Can Daddy hit a home run in a Major League

PITTSBURGH – Becoming a food influencer was probably not on Austin Wells’ list of goals for the season. But the Yankees’ catcher flexed his versatility this past weekend, launching an Instagram account dedicated to reviewing breakfast burritos: @wells.ranked.burritos.

CHICAGO -- The bizarre finish to a bizarre first inning at Wrigley Field on Sunday afternoon: Two consecutive run-scoring balks. Padres right-hander Logan Gillaspie -- called up Sunday morning before San Diego’s 8-7 victory over the Cubs -- committed a pair of infractions that led to balks with catcher Carson

BOSTON -- Rafael Devers looks primed to turn his historically rough start to the season into a forgotten footnote. The star slugger unloaded for his first homer of 2025, an opposite-field homer that went into the Green Monster seats and gave the Red Sox a lead in the bottom of

PITTSBURGH – Andrew Heaney thought he and Joey Bart had the right game plan going into Sunday’s finale against the Yankees, but he didn’t make good two-strike pitches in the first. The Yankees would capitalize with an early run in that first frame, which inspired Heaney to make a change.

DENVER -- With the first pitch of the first inning -- of arguably the day that the Rockies began to make the painful last few seasons worthwhile -- Chase Dollander set the tone for what the club hopes is its pitching future.

SAN FRANCISCO -- One of the most entertaining subplots of this weekend’s series between the Giants and Mariners? The back-and-forth friendly rivalry between San Francisco shortstop Willy Adames and Seattle center fielder Julio Rodríguez.

PHILADELPHIA -- Starter Blake Snell was placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation ahead of Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The Dodgers recalled righty Matt Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City as the corresponding move. Per manager Dave Roberts, Snell began throwing a

MINNEAPOLIS -- Quitting must not be in a Houstonian’s DNA.

A new season is upon us, and MLB.TV – the best way to watch every out-of-market game all season long – has never been better. That’s because MLB.TV is now giving you even more baseball with the addition of 24/7 access to MLB Network (available in U.S. only). Here is

NEW YORK -- The bullpen was impeccable once again and helped the Mets edge the Blue Jays, 2-1, at Citi Field on Sunday afternoon. New York swept the three-game series, but David Peterson put a scare into the team. He started the game for New York, but didn’t have the

DETROIT -- The Tigers have been pondering a basketball-themed homer celebration in honor of the neighboring Pistons’ return to the NBA Playoffs. On Sunday, they didn’t clear the fences, but they pulled off a comeback the 1990s Bad Boys Pistons could appreciate: Detroit beat a Chicago closer named Jordan in

We’re more than a week into the regular season and plenty of storylines and stats have already grabbed our attention. While we’re dealing with small samples, that doesn’t mean there aren’t interesting trends and developments that have taken place. With that in mind, we asked seven of our writers about

CHICAGO – Beyond Kyle Tucker's clear presence in the lineup and the immediate offensive production, Cubs manager Craig Counsell has enjoyed witnessing another, less-obvious impact that the right fielder is having on the ballclub out of the gates this season. During Tucker’s plate appearances, Counsell has heard conversations among the

Give Jurrangelo Cijntje a hand for a tremendous pro debut. And then give him another one after that. The already well-known switch-pitcher was on point in his first outing for High-A Everett, striking out six over four scoreless innings against Spokane in the club's 8-0 win Saturday night at Avista

KANSAS CITY -- As Kris Bubic departed the mound in the seventh inning, his mind was still on the overcooked slider he had thrown earlier that inning for a wild pitch and a run scored. Always in pursuit of perfection, Bubic might have been more focused on that one bad

The Cubs are playing so well these days, even the geese want front row seats. A goose crashed Wrigley Field for Chicago’s home opener on Friday, nesting underneath the center-field scoreboard. When the goose returned for Saturday’s game, it had VIP treatment: A staff of “geesekeepers” guarded a section of

PHILADELPHIA -- Teoscar Hernández was a welcome break in the clouds for his team on a drizzly afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. But the respite he provided was fleeting, as the Dodgers narrowly dropped their first series of the season with an 8-7 loss to the Phillies on Sunday. Hernández

ATLANTA -- Sean Murphy has been activated and the Braves have decided to keep Drake Baldwin -- their top prospect, per MLB Pipeline -- at the big league level to share the catching duties. Murphy was activated from the injured list and Chadwick Tromp was designated for assignment on Sunday.

MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers have already seen a majority of their starting pitching options hit the shelf. They’ve now added one more to the list. Sunday morning, the team announced it had placed starter Nestor Cortes, acquired via trade from the Yankees in December, on the 15-day injured list with

WASHINGTON -- The Nationals clinched their first series of the season with a 5-4 win over the D-backs on Sunday afternoon at Nationals Park. The Nats have won back-to-back games as they prepare to host the Dodgers on Monday.

ATLANTA -- Marlins infielder Graham Pauley is a golden retriever in human form. His walk-up song, after all, is Natasha Bedingfield’s “Pocketful of Sunshine.” Pauley had even more of a pep in his step at batting practice ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Braves at Truist Park.
