The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: What is wrong with Bryan Abreu? Loperfido to be evaluated after coming out of last night’s game with “right quad tightness”: Isaac Paredes also left last night’s game. Paredes is coming back from a very significant hamstring injury last season. Peter Lambert generated a […]
Hickory starter Evan Siary allowed five runs, including two homers, in four innings of work, striking out three and walking three. Kamdyn Perry made his 2026 debut with three shutout innings, striking out two. Yolfran Castillo was 2 for 5 with a double and a stolen base. Marcos Torres had a double and a walk. […]
The first part of this roster move, you already know, as the Cubs placed reliever Daniel Palencia on the 15-day injured list before Friday’s game with an oblique issue. Here’s how it happened (Bluesky link): No roster move was made Friday, as this happened very close to game time, so the Cubs played Friday’s 12-4 […]
Ever since coming to Washington as one of the main headliners in the infamous Juan Soto trade from the San Diego Padres, Nationals’ shortstop CJ Abrams has been excruciatingly close to proving his worth as a franchise player. The 25-year-old made his Major League debut in 2022 and has been a steady contributor for the […]
The fact that this conversation is happening—even externally—is great news. The Yankees have a young, exciting, and highly talented player whose services they’d probably like to retain for a long time. This is not a luxury every organization has, obviously, and extending that relationship is something the Yankees should seriously consider with Cam Schlittler. Extensions […]
Bryan Abreu’s struggles continued last night, and the Astros lost their second straight game at home in a 9-4 defeat at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals at Daikin Park. Bryan Abreu entered the game last night with the Astros down 4-3 in the 7th inning. 16 pitches later, the game was 7-3 and […]
The Mets have placed Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list, and the team’s official reason for doing so is the right wrist contusion that arose recently. The 32-year-old, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets shortly after Pete Alonso signed a five-year deal with the Orioles, had also been dealing with […]
Roster retention! Louisville guard Adrian Wooley will return as a Cardinal for his junior season. In his first season at U of L, Wooley averaged 8.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, while shooting 45.0 percent from the floor and 35.0 percent from behind the three-point line. He appeared in all 35 games […]
Worcester, Game 1: L, 2-4 (BOX SCORE) Jake Bennett, who had his start derailed by a day due to rain, continues his hot start to 2026. He now has 16 1/3 innings with just one run earned, and continued that with three innings of shutout ball. However, neither that or the okay relief work was […]
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (11-7) won 12-6 (BOX SCORE) Sugar Land opened the game with a big first inning scoring 7 runs on a Perez 3 run homer, Biggers 2 run homer, Unroe solo home run and Nelson RBI double. […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers and Jacob deGrom held the Mariners scoreless last night in a 5-0 win. Evan Grant writes that the Rangers made a statement with their first Seattle shutout in nearly four years. Kennedi Landry writes about deGrom fighting through early trouble for the win. Elsewhere it looks like Josh Sborz will […]
Your Oregon Ducks baseball and softball teams were both in action on Friday, let’s see how they fared. The baseball team faced off against the Illinois Fighting Illini on Friday afternoon, looking to bounce back after a .500 record last week. Things got off to a quick start, with Oregon getting on the board in […]
Brock Stewart made his second rehab appearance for the Class-A Tower Buzzers on Friday night in Ontario, three days after his first appearance. This time around, Stewart retired the first two batters before allowing a two-out single then hit a batter in an eight-pitch battle. He was pulled with two outs in the inning, already […]
All told, it was a mixed bag of results down on the farm on Friday, as Atlanta’s four minor league affiliates split their contests and went 2-2 on the night. However, there were a handful of individual performances that stood out. (12-7) Gwinnett Stripers 3, (13-6) Memphis Redbirds 5 Box Score It’s hard to get […]
Jaylon Thompson writes about how the Royals lost again late in New York. Lange threw a changeup that caught too much of the plate. McMahon got just enough of the pitch, as the baseball landed in the first row beyond the left-field wall. “I feel like when you fall behind guys, bad things happen,” Lange […]
Of all the players who donned the pinstripes, Dennis Rasmussen was certainly one of them. If we’re only looking at the numbers, he was a pretty forgettable starter who was often competent but rarely dominant. And as he played for the good-but-not-good-enough Yankees of the mid-80s, he has no rings nor legendary postseason exploits to […]
Good morning everyone and happy Saturday! The Mariners’ slide continued yesterday in a flat 5-0 loss to the Rangers. Though the team is tied for third in the biggest split between xwOBA and wOBA and is 26th in BABIP, the hits just aren’t falling for the team yet. To keep it on a positive note […]
Triple-A: Durham (Rays) 19, Norfolk Tides 9 If you can believe it, the Tides had a 6-0 lead at one point in this game and later on held a 9-1 lead. Even still, this happened. The scoring started when Enrique Bradfield Jr. led off the third inning with a home run, his second of the […]
Heliot Ramos had something to prove in his return to the starting line-up in D.C.. Pretty early on in this young season, imposter syndrome appeared to have set in. The first left fielder to start in back-to-back Opening Days for the Giants in nearly 20 years had been playing as if he was just another […]
The Detroit Tigers saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Friday night by the Boston Red Sox, 1-0, in a genuine pitcher’s duel that required an extra inning to determine the winner. Casey Mize looked great for the Motor City Kitties, but the offense could not break through against Ranger Suarez and Aroldis Chapman. The […]
Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. This week, Chris and Brian try to remain (somewhat) optimistic despite the Mets being in their worst rut in two decades. Chris’s Music Pick: King Tuff – Moo Brian’s Music Pick: BCMC – Foreign Smokes You can […]
Meet the Mets The title kind of says it all, doesn’t it? The Mets lost their ninth straight yesterday afternoon in their first in a three-game series against the Cubs in Chicago. Kodai Senga got knocked around for the second straight start, giving up seven runs (six earned) in 3.1 innings of work. The suffering […]
The San Diego Padres rode the success of their recent homestand into Angel Stadium to face the Los Angeles Angels Friday night and saw their eight-game win streak come to a disastrous end with an 8-0 loss. The Padres were tasked with trying to be the first team to have success against Angels starter Jose […]
The offense is S-T-R-U-G-G-L-I-N-G right now outside of Bryce Harper. There doesn’t seem to be cohesion with the group, a plan when they face a opposing pitchers or any type of approach. We know that truly isn’t the case since these are dedicated professionals, but if we’re going off of what the kids say these […]
Missouri baseball dropped the series opener of its weekend three-game series against No. 14-ranked Oklahoma on Friday evening. Despite the multitude of homers, including a pair from first basemen Jase Woita and one from Blaize Ward, strong fourth and seventh inning offensive splurges from the Sooners drove them to a 9-6 winner over the Tigers […]
