Larry Fitzgerald is set to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend, but the Arizona Cardinals legend has yet to officially retire from football.
Here’s a quick one
Pete Crow-Armstrong is seriously making a case for the National League MVP. It’s going to take a very remarkable season to beat Shohei Ohtani in voting, but the Chicago Cubs’ speedy outfielder can do things even Ohtani can’t do. On Thursday, in a postponed game against the Toronto Blue Jays, PCA used his speed to […] The post Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong walks off Blue Jays with savvy baserunning play appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Blue Jays 2 Cubs 3 (11 innings) Two outs in the ninth and two strikes, I figured it was time to open the computer and get on the recap. Boom. Alex Bregman homers to tie the game. It was hardly fair to Dylan Cease who threw seven innings of two hit ball with one walk […]
The Cardinals announced that right-hander Tink Hence has cleared waivers and been sent outright to their Florida Complex League affiliate. He was designated for assignment last week when the club called up left-hander Quinn Mathews. Hence is celebrating his 24th birthday today.

Chicago Cubs All-Star Pete Crow-Armstrong shared a strange Babe Ruth conspiracy theory that set Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo off. Crow-Armstrong recently appeared on Kristin Cavallari’s Let’s Be Honest podcast, where he was asked to share an “unpopular opinion” that he has. And Crow-Armstrong delivered a doozy when he repeated a conspiracy that “Babe Ruth never…
Commanders The Commanders landed WR Stefon Diggs as a free agent on Wednesday. NOTUS’ Martenzie Johnson, citing a source close to Diggs, reports that the veteran chose to sign with Washington because of QB Jayden Daniels and WR Terry McLaurin: “[He wanted a] chance to play with one of best young [quarterbacks] and opposite one […] The post NFC Notes: Stefon Diggs, Jerry Jones, Odell Beckham, Commanders, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
Everson Pereira was claimed off waivers by the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday, after he was designated for assignment earlier this week to make room for Brenton Doyle on the active roster. Pereira was designated for assignment after hitting .225/.284/.438, but in only 27 games as he's been slowed by a litany of injuries. It's good thematic timing that Pereira gets claimed right as the White Sox face a left-handed starting pitcher in Ranger Suarez, laying bare the path they chose instead. ...
The Los Angeles Dodgers never get stagnant when it comes to roster moves. They are regularly signing or trading for the best players in MLB, just to do so again not long after. The team has seemingly no financial constraints, which allowed them to sign players such as Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernandez, Blake Snell, Roki […] The post 4 roster moves Dodgers must make after 2026 MLB trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
PHOENIX — Mitch Bratt’s dominant performance against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday wasn’t just a bounce-back from his previous start. It was a historic outing that provided much-needed stability for the Arizona Diamondbacks as they continue their push in the National League Wild Card race. Since pitches were first tracked in 1988, Mitch Bratt […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired more than bullpen depth when they landed Lake Bachar from the Miami Marlins at Monday’s MLB trade deadline. The reliever’s personality and unconventional interests have quickly given Pirates fans plenty to appreciate. Pittsburgh sent Brandan Bidois, Brian Sánchez, and Hyun Seung Lee to Miami for Bachar. The 31-year-old right-hander arrived with […] The post Pirates fans will love literally everything about trade deadline pickup Lake Bachar appeared first on Cl...
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers have found their fourth starter. Dustin May, who was recently acquired in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals, made his Brewers debut this afternoon and delivered a gritty six-inning performance, allowing just two runs on three hits while striking out five. While riding high on the May train, the […]
With the Los Angeles Dodgers trading for star pitcher Tarik Skubal, there has no doubt been a massive discussion around the stacked team getting many big-name players. As there will always be critics of the Dodgers, especially around their use of money and the league-wide conversation of a potential salary cap, former player Anthony Rizzo […] The post Anthony Rizzo’s loud and clear message to owners on lockout after Dodgers’ Tarik Skubal trade appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Braves rotation is getting pretty crowded. Not necessarily with frontline guys, but with plenty of options to give them innings. Bryce Elder and Grant Holmes were fantastic to begin the week. AJ Smith-Shawver should rejoin the club in less than two weeks, and Reynaldo Lopez could be back around that time as well. Lopez […]
PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies collectively wiped their brow in relief on Thursday. Bryce Harper’s finger was fine after jamming it […]
Minnesota Twins pitcher Zebby Matthews has another opportunity to show he's a Major Leaguer after Joe Ryan's injury.
The Nats got a much needed win last night to snap their 7 game losing streak. Now they will look to build off that exciting victory and get a split here in Philly. This losing streak really put them behind the 8 ball in the playoff race, but if they get hot there is still […]
Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan is likely headed to the injured list after an MRI revealed a mild left glute strain.
The last few weeks have surely been exhausting for Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan. It does not get any easier with the latest injury update to the right-hander. After hearing his name swirl in trade rumors for months, Ryan is now likely to hit the IL with a glute injury, according to Dan Hayes. […] The post Twins’ Joe Ryan likely to hit IL with glute injury appeared first on ClutchPoints .
While the Milwaukee Brewers made a push for Tarik Skubal at the trade deadline, they lost out to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Instead, they managed to land Dustin May in a deal with the St. Louis Cardinals. Looking at both of their first starts on their new respective teams, you wouldn’t know the difference. Skubal […] The post Brewers starter Dustin May’s first start draws trade deadline Tarik Skubal comparisons appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Cardinals announced that they have claimed outfielder Everson Pereira off waivers from the White Sox. Chicago designated him for assignment on deadline day when they picked up Joey Bart from Atlanta. The Cards had a couple of 40-man vacancies and don’t need to make a corresponding move in that regard. Pereira is out of […]
The Texas Rangers had one of the quietest trade deadlines of any major league team this year. Despite being in the playoff hunt in a very mediocre American League (and particularly, a very mediocre American League West), and having clear needs to be addressed (the exact number depending on whether you want to count “the […]
Several All-Stars, from Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams to Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies, grade out among the luckiest hitters in MLB.
BALTIMORE—After winning the first two games against the Los Angeles Angels, the team with the worst record in the majors, the Orioles, who had climbed to within a half-game of the final wild-card spot, fell back on Thursday.
