The Atlanta Braves signed Craig Kimbrel to a minor league deal late in spring training, and last week, they called him up to the big leagues. Kimbrel tossed a scoreless inning, but less than 24 hours later, he was designated for assignment. It was a puzzling decision considering what he’s meant to this franchise and […]

The San Diego Padres (38-28) avenged Monday’s bitter defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers (40-28) with a unique offensive barrage on Tuesday, exploiting their opponent’s shorthanded pitching staff in an 11-1 win.

The Philadelphia Phillies are running it back with the same core that had its heart broken in the NLDS last season, and they are off to a great start in 2025. Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos and company are having a stellar season and are right in the middle of the playoff race once again. Even […]

The Detroit Tigers are making serious noise in the American League — and they just hit a milestone fans haven’t seen in over a decade.

The Chicago Cubs are heating up in June, and Tuesday’s 8-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies spotlighted a much-needed breakout from Ian Happ. The veteran outfielder launched two home runs to power Chicago’s offense to the win, earning big praise from manager Craig Counsell afterward.

The Dodgers got shelled by the San […]

The New York Yankees are kicking off a series with the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. Aaron Judge started the game with a ridiculous 469-foot homer to give the Bombers the lead. Max Fried hit a few bumps along the road, but the offense picked him up. In a ridiculous five-run sixth inning, Cody Bellinger […]

Baseball is a fickle mistress. Brandon Marsh just enjoyed what is so far the high point of his 2025 MLB campaign, recording his first career walk-off hit to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a desperately-needed 4-3 extra-innings victory on Monday night. Neither he nor the club were fortunate enough to hold on to that joyous […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (40-27) are a true enigma. They are one of the only major sports franchises that can draw the ire of fan bases around the country during the offseason and then somehow morph into an underdog story during the regular season. And the reason is quite simple. LA boasts an abundance of […]

The Baltimore Orioles are in the middle of a disastrous season. Baltimore fired their manager, Brandon Hyde, turning to Tony Mansolino as his replacement in the interim.

Noah Cameron’s sixth career start for the Kansas City Royals did not get off to a great start. Cameron had a chance to match Royals’ royalty if he shut the New York Yankees down. The Royals got swept in their first meeting of the season against New York, and Aaron Judge hopes to keep the […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (40-27) own a top-three MLB payroll and boast one of the most lethal top-halves to a lineup in recent history, which are obviously contributing factors to their success, but where president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman really shows his skills is in the low-key transactions he makes. The top-notch executive frequently […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to play the long game with Shohei Ohtani, who remains on track in his recovery from elbow and shoulder surgeries.

The New York Yankees’ bullpen has been without pitcher Jake Cousins so far this season, as he fell to a forearm strain back in February.

The Chicago Cubs have emerged as a contender in the National League with a stellar start to the 2025 season, and they have done a large part of it without their ace in the rotation. Shota Imanaga has not pitched since May 4 due to a hamstring injury, but he is getting closer and closer […]
