Minneapolis – The Los Angeles Dodgers’ lineup is a challenge for any MLB starter in 2026, and that was the case for Zebby Matthews on Monday night in a game the Minnesota Twins lost 2-1. Two pitches into the start, international superstar Shohei Ohtani hit a changeup Matthews threw right down the middle over the left field bleachers at 112.8 MPH to make it a 1-0 game.
The San Diego Padres brought Gavin Sheets back on a one-year, $4.5 million contract to avoid salary arbitration. It locked him into becoming the lineup’s top designated hitter option. Injuries forced Sheets’ role to change However, injuries to Jake Cronenworth, Ramon Laureano, and Miquel Andujar forced the Padres to revamp their starting lineup. The biggest […]
Last week, we learned that Garrett Crochet had been cleared to throw weighted plyometric balls as he attempts to recover from two injuries: the initial shoulder inflammation that landed him on the IL, and the subsequent lat tightness that has kept him on it for much longer than anyone anticipated. Yesterday he was reevaluated and, […]
The 2026 MLB Draft Combine kicks off June 23-26 in Phoenix, and there are going to be a massive 335 players involved this year. Some of these players have more at stake in front of the Atlanta Braves and the 29 other teams, and for different reasons. Today I plan to take a look at […]

I haven’t seen any mocks sending Ruiz to the Phillies or any rumors reported on interest from the Phillies, but it’s hard to miss the similarities to picks during the Barber/Mattingly/Dombrowski regime. Ruiz is old for the class (turned 19 in March), is an up the middle defender, has a contact over power approach, but […]
Phillies fans, there’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news is, you’re killing it in your efforts to elect Brandon Marsh to a starting outfield spot on the National League All Star team. In voting released by the league Monday, Marsh’s 1.256 million votes are second-most among NL outfielders, trailing only the Dodgers’ […]
If there is a funnier MLB broadcast duo than Jason Benetti and Andy Dirks, I am not familiar with their work. Regardless of how the Tigers are playing, you can guarantee that Benetti will arrive at the booth ready to pepper his play-by-play with clever one-liners, deep-cut references and an extended bit or two. Of all his rotating partners in his couple years calling Detroit baseball, the modest, folksy Dirks has proven the most able and game to follow along with Benetti and—perhaps occasional...
The Cincinnati Reds snuck into the playoffs in 2025 after leaning heavily on their pitching staff and were quickly eliminated, as their offensive flaws were amplified.

Happy Tuesday A’s fans! The Athletics’ just wrapped up a disappointing series against the division-rival Angels this past weekend. The A’s split the four-game set, but they let the series finale split through their fingers. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s tough to drop those games against a lesser opponent that has […]
For Alex Anthopoulos, contract extensions have to be on his mind regarding several current Braves. Ozzie Albies has just one more year left on his deal and is once again proving he’s one of the best second basemen in the game.

The Braves are planning to get injured utilityman Kyle Farmer some reps behind the plate on his upcoming minor league rehab assignment, reports Mark Bowman of MLB.com.

You can’t tell the story of the Houston Astros the last 3 seasons without addressing their historic amount of injuries, especially to the starting pitching. Each of the past 2 seasons, the Astros depended on pitchers returning from injury, with less than optimal results. This season is no different, and the team is counting on […]

After the game, Foster Griffin told me, “You are not done until the manager shakes your hand and says you are done”. Last night, that hand shake did not come until one out in the 8th inning. When Blake Butera took the ball from Griffin, the crowd that stuck through a long rain delay erupted […]
