Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders catcher Payton Henry has had this week circled on the schedule for a while. For the first time this season, the RailRiders face the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. They opened a six-game series Tuesday night at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, Pa., with a 15-4 victory. Henry played for […]
The Atlanta Braves have released their lineup for tonight’s contest against the Miami Marlins and the lineup is one that looks like another reminder of just how deep this lineup can be on any given day when injuries aren’t completely ravaging the squad. Anyways, here’s the lineup for the Braves: Michael Harris II has moved […]
When the New York Rangers decided it was time to move on from their captain, Jacob Trouba, midway through the 2024-25 season, it was the Anaheim Ducks' gain. Adding a veteran leader with a punishing physical presence to their blueline turned out to be the next step in the team launching itself out of its rebuild and into serious playoff contention. But after a year and a half there, Trouba is now an unrestricted free agent. He's coming off an $8 million AAV over the past seven years, and...
It’s time to get right, again. Emerson Hancock takes the mound for the Mariners. Once an auto-punt game, Hancock has been quite reliable this year, turning in a few gems and a few otherwise decent outings. The Mariners will need him to again Wednesday as they look to pick up a series win following last […]
The San Francisco Giants wrap up this three-game road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks this afternoon. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters today’s game with a 5.59 ERA, 4.91 FIP, with 48 strikeouts to 21 walks in 46.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 5-2 […]
The White Sox go for the series win this afternoon against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. A victory would give the South Siders their sixth series win of the season and move them to three games over .500 for the first time in 2026. Sean Burke draws the start, hoping to erase the memory of […]

The Colorado Rockies announced a few roster moves this morning: Thompson will make his first appearances on the Rockies’ active roster after being claimed off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds in the offseason. He was DFA’d at the end of spring training and outrighted to the minors. Thompson made 11 total appearances (5 starts) for […]
Over the past two years, the biggest story at Yankee Stadium has not been the play on the field, but the organization’s insistence to launch a veritable artillery barrage of sound at the fans in an effort to mimic the vibe at a Knicks game and, allegedly, bring the Stadium into the 2020s. While the […]
The Mets have officially called up Zach Thornton, who will make his major league debut tonight for the Mets against the Nationals. The left-hander will wear number 49, most recently worn by Chris Devenski but most notably worn by another left-hander, Jonathon Niese. In a corresponding move, the team has optioned Daniel Duarte to Triple-A. […]

After last night’s damp, cold, and miserable blowout loss, the Colorado Rockies find themselves tied at a game each in their series with the Texas Rangers. Today, with the weather slightly warmer and slightly sunnier—though there is a chance for rain—the Rockies will aim for the series win. However, no dogs will be in attendance. […]
Maybe it’s the anticipation of having waited until nearly June to face them for the first time, but this series against the San Diego Padres has more than lived up to incredibly high expectations. A couple of days after seeing the Friars’ ace completely shut the high-powered Dodgers down, now it’s time to face probably […]
Well, this has certainly been an eventful series so far! The Atlanta Braves bounced back on Tuesday evening from what was absolutely their worst loss of the season on Monday night and now they’ll surely like their chances now that Chris Sale is starting tonight’s game against the Miami Marlins. Chris Sale and Bryce Elder […]
On May 5, the Kansas City Royals were flying high. Winners of five straight games and nine of their last 11, the Royals had clawed their way out of a 7-16 start of the season all the way to a 17-19 record. The Hawaiian Bros promotion went like this: if the Royals scored six or […]
Most news these days (and, let’s be honest, the past few seasons) feels like it’s been more of the, “You’ll never guess which Brave is going on the Injured List this time!” variety, but this afternoon, I get to make a post with the opposite. Yes, Eli White is back after a brief stay on […]
Following a thrilling first-round SEC Tournament victory over Ole Miss, Missouri baseball saw its postseason run come to a bittersweet end in Hoover, Ala. The Tigers were unable to carry their momentum into Wednesday morning’s second-round matchup against the Bulldogs, falling short in a seven inning run-rule loss. Despite the final score, sophomore left-hander Brady […]
In baseball, rarely does everything unfold as expected. The unpredictability of baseball is one of its gifts as well as one of its most confounding aspects. The Seattle Mariners were widely believed to be the cream of the AL West crop, projected to win well over 90 games. Who thought they would sit 4 games […]
Well, Mariners fans, I’d be lying if I told you this season was off to an ideal start, or even a good start, or even an average start. At least then they’d be above .500. The team has struggled in all aspects with performance and injuries including, but not limited to, Brendan Donovan, Cal Raleigh, […]
The Seattle Mariners announced Wednesday morning that they have activated RHP Matt Brash off the 15 day injured list, where he’d been healing from inflammation in his right lat. Correspondingly, LHP Robinson Ortiz was optioned back to Triple-A Tacoma. Brash made a pair of rehab assignments with the Rainiers, having been out since the first […]
This is your one-stop shop for every Dodgers stint on the injured list during the 2026 season. We’ll also include every time a player misses time on the paternity list, bereavement leave, or is on the family medical emergency list as well. Basically any time a player misses time that requires a roster move, we’ll […]
Here is every transaction for the Los Angeles Dodgers for the entire 2026 season, starting with the first day of spring training through the end of the team’s postseason run. We will keep track of every single transaction involving the 40-man roster here, including players getting called up or sent down to the minor leagues, […]
If there was one player mentioned more than most this past offseason, it was Jarren Duran. As a trade candidate. The thinking was, supposedly, simple: too many outfielders Roman Anthony is set to be on the Red Sox forever. He’s a capable corner guy. There’s not a completing reason to move him to first base […]
One of the most common critiques leveled against the Yankees’ 2025-26 offseason was that they were simply running it back, and to those critics, no move was as emblematic of that than the re-signing of Cody Bellinger. Although the 2019 NL MVP had a stellar year in 2025, hitting .272 with 29 homers and accumulating […]
