ARLINGTON -- With great power comes great responsibility. That applies to a super-powered Spider-Man, but apparently pitching, too.

BALTIMORE -- For the first time in 2025, the Orioles are on a winning streak. Baltimore secured its first series win of the season with a 6-2 victory in the rubber game vs. the Cleveland Guardians at Camden Yards on Thursday night. Despite it being only mid-April, the result felt

That’s why he’s the top position player prospect in all of baseball.

Ask the average baseball fan what they know about Mariners star catcher Cal Raleigh, and they might bring up his playoff-drought-ending walk-off homer from 2022. They might know he won a Platinum Glove last season, or if they're particularly plugged in, that he just hit his 100th career homer on

NEW YORK -- Earlier this week, Griffin Canning was too sick to pitch. By Thursday evening, he was back to being the best version of himself.

CHICAGO – Just when you thought Tyler Soderstrom’s reign atop Major League Baseball’s home run leaderboards might be coming to an end, the Athletics first baseman did it again.

DETROIT -- The Tigers have three hitting coaches on their staff to try to connect with hitters of all styles and philosophies. They have technology galore to measure swings and machines that can simulate the pitches a hitter can expect to face from a given pitcher. But all the tools

The Twins are calling up Luke Keaschall from Triple-A St. Paul, a source told MLB.com. The club has not confirmed the imminent promotion. Keaschall is the organization's No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline, and the No. 57 prospect overall. He can play both middle infield positions and has also seen

Make no bones about it, cracking the Major Leagues on Opening Day is a big deal. But sometimes we get so wrapped up in that initial roster that we lose sight of the fact that early-season callups can be just as effective whenever they occur. We’ve already seen notable prospects

A little over a month ago, we polled a panel of MLB.com experts about the best hitters in baseball headed into the 2025 season. Now, though? We have actual 2025 results in the mix. That’s not to say that roughly three weeks' worth of games is going to completely change

ARLINGTON -- A pair of important Rangers players are on their way back from the injured list this week. Outfielder Wyatt Langford, who was battling a mild oblique strain, began a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Thursday night. He was the DH on Thursday and is expected to play

ARLINGTON -- After a grueling stretch that saw the Angels play 15 of their first 18 games on the road, they could get a major boost on Friday with shortstop Zach Neto likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list.

The Braves on Thursday called up outfielder Alex Verdugo from Triple-A Gwinnett as the team looks to generate more offense from a lineup that has struggled in the early going. Atlanta signed Verdugo to a one-year, $1.5 million big league contract late in Spring Training, then optioned him to Triple-A

BALTIMORE -- Much of Grayson Rodriguez’s MLB career has been marred by injuries. Now, another unfortunate development has occurred for the 25-year-old right-hander.

MILWAUKEE -- Infield prospect Caleb Durbin was on his way to Milwaukee on Thursday as the Brewers moved to generate more production from third base.

PITTSBURGH -- When reliving the greatest sports moments that have happened in the city of Pittsburgh, two near the top of the list are the Immaculate Reception and Roberto Clemente's 3,000th hit. The former is the signature play of the Steelers franchise, and Clemente’s double and triumphant pose at second

CINCINNATI -- Much of the narrative around this era of baseball in Seattle has justifiably centered on the Mariners’ pitching staff constantly picking up the club's bats. Yet on Thursday, it was the complete inverse, which perhaps is a sign of things to come.

MIAMI -- Pavin Smith has been on a heater at the plate lately for the D-backs. He accounted for one-third of the team’s runs in its sweep-clinching 6-4 victory over the Marlins on Thursday afternoon at loanDepot park, hitting his second home run of the series in the first inning

Not every veteran player comes in hot when they come to New York, and you can look that up, all the way back to when Tino Martinez struggled mightily in April 1996 after replacing Don Mattingly at first base for the Yankees. But then Martinez hit a grand slam at

DENVER -- The Rockies, struggling offensively and carrying the Majors’ worst record at 3-15, replaced hitting coach Hensley Meulens with their former manager and long-ago hitting coach, Clint Hurdle, on Thursday. “We haven't produced offensively,” Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt said. “It's been a struggle so far. We’re looking to

Prior to Thursday's 1-0 loss to Pittsburgh at PNC Park, López received a three-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for “intentionally throwing at Andrew McCutchen.” López elected to appeal

PITTSBURGH -- Andrew Heaney's morning started with a surprise. Thursday marked the day he reached 10 years of Major League service time, a prestigious mark for players and their entryway to a full pension. It’s a cause for celebration, but it was a day game, so does anyone really want

PITTSBURGH -- Sometimes hard contact can result in an out. Those outs usually aren’t made after the ball lands in front of the left fielder, though.

This week, our MLB.com Power Rankings ended up in a pretty strange place: The top six teams in baseball were all from the National League. In this order: Dodgers, Padres, Phillies, Mets, Cubs and Giants. That’s particularly noteworthy because, as you may remember, there are only six teams that make
