Andrew Nardi To Undergo Elbow Surgery

Marlins lefty Andrew Nardi will undergo elbow surgery, manager Clayton McCullough told reporters on Monday (link via Corey Seidman of MLB.com). That’ll obviously end his 2026 season and, depending on the nature of the procedure, is likely to impact next year as well. The news comes as a surprise considering Nardi wasn’t previously known to […]

Cubs walk off White Sox in frustrating 7-5 extra-inning loss

The game got off to an ugly start after the White Sox went down in […]

Twins 4, Braves 2: Same same. Different, but still same

Yesterday against the Phillies, the Twins scored four in the first, failed to add on in the middle innings, and ended up losing the game after the bullpen blew the lead. Tonight, the Twins scored four in the first, failed to add on in the middle innings, but won the game when the bullpen was […]

Cubs 7, White Sox 5 (10 innings): Pete Crow-Armstrong turns the tables

The last time Pete Crow-Armstrong faced the White Sox, it was a low point of his season. He went hitless at the plate while batting eighth, but what happened in the field was more noteworthy, as he got a face full of chain link fence after failing to run down a Miguel Vargas double, then cursed at a woman who heckled him. The White Sox ended up winning 9-8 on an Edgar Quero walk-off homer , and Crow-Armstrong eventually issued an apology after resisting on his initial attempt. Three months t...

Four-run first dooms Braves in 4-2 loss to Twins

I’d say “stop me if you heard this one before,” but you can’t stop me, because I have a recap to write. The Braves fell behind early, and didn’t hit any homers, losing a close-ish game on the margins to the Twins. When you don’t hit homers, you need BABIP, and when you don’t get […]

Dodgers bats come alive in blowout win at Coors Field

Dominant from the get-go, the Dodgers cruised through an 11-5 win over the Rockies. And fair or not, too many times this season, particularly as of late, it has felt as though this team didn’t live up to the expectations of dominating a starting pitcher in a matchup they should handle. While the end product […]

Phillies hold on for win after controversial replay review keeps extra Marlins run off board

PHILADELPHIA — Marlins manager Clayton McCullough walked onto the field with his arms outstretched and was thrown out by third-base umpire Todd Tichenor for arguing after a replay review. McCullough had actually won his challenge after first-base umpire Shane Livensparger had incorrectly called a bases-loaded line-drive to right field off the bat of Javier Sanoja […]

Royals offense explodes in victory over Athletics

The Athletics struck first, a Jeff McNeil homer on the first pitch of the game, to go ahead against Michael Wacha right at the start. But the Royals roared back, scoring in five separate innings, to win the game 9-5 in Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia’s return from the injured list. The two returning players […]

No Sweep For You: Rays 7, Orioles 6

A king can get knocked around. It can lose three straight games at home. It can even trail by two runs in the seventh inning with a four-game sweep creeping closer. But, as D’Angelo Barksdale once explained on The Wire, “The king stay the king, aight.” Jonny DeLuca helped the Rays remain atop the American […]

Mariners, Andy Ibáñez Agree To Minor League Deal

The Mariners are signing utility player Andy Ibáñez to a minor league contract, reports Francys Romero. He’ll presumably go to Triple-A Tacoma once the deal is finalized. Ibáñez is on his third organization of the season. He opened the season with the A’s and batted .118 in 11 games before being designated for assignment in […]

Diamondbacks lose ugly to Red Sox, with Ketel Marte AWOL

Record: 66-60. Pace: 85-77. Change on 2025: +6. Well, this was ugly in every conceivable way. However, the Diamondbacks can perhaps be forgiven for being “off” this evening in Boston, as matters off the field took center stage. Face of the franchise Ketel Marte no-showed at Fenway Park this afternoon, forcing a roster change with […]

A’s Drop Road Trip Opener 9-5

The Athletics began the week with a Monday night matchup against the Kansas City Royals in the first game of this four-game series. The A’s dropped the series opener 9-5 in another game where a poor performance from the Green and Gold’s starting pitcher’s put them in an unrecoverable hole. The team’s offense battled back […]
