Texas Rangers lineup for May 12, 2026 against the Arizona Diamondbacks: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore for the Rangers and Zac Gallen for the D-Backs. The Rangers play the D-Backs this evening. The Rangers will try to score at least one run in this game. It will be challenging, I know, but if we all […]
Ahead of the Mets’ six-game homestand against the Tigers and Yankees, president of baseball operations David Stearns is speaking to the media. The biggest news over the past couple of days has been the team’s promotion of A.J. Ewing to the major league roster, as the 21-year-old is set to make his major league debut […]
If Caleb Downs has a chip on his shoulder heading into his rookie season for the nine teams that passed on him in the draft, he gets his first opportunity as early as Week 1. The NFL announced on Monday that the Dallas Cowboys will travel to face the New York Giants on Sunday Night […]

At long last, the Milwaukee Brewers finally have all their big bats available to them in the starting lineup. The Brewers have not had their top group of bats — Jackson Chourio, Andrew Vaughn, and Christian Yelich — together all season. Now, they finally will as Christian Yelich has been activated off the IL and […]
The Cubs injury-laden pitching staff has forced a number of players into roles they likely weren’t anticipating at the start of the season. After all, how many of us thought the Cubs would have a 27-14 record along with seven different pitchers having saves as they head into a clash of the National League titans […]
It was looking bleak for the San Diego Padres for a while there. Sunday’s series finale began as a pitcher’s duel between Walker Buehler and St. Louis Cardinals starter Kyle Leahy. The latter managed to keep the Friars scoreless while Buehler pitched deeper but surrendered a two-run shot to Jordan Walker. That seemed like it […]
The Mets made the promotion of prospect A.J. Ewing official on Tuesday afternoon. In a corresponding move, Andy Ibáñez was designated for assignment. Ewing, who was ranked No. 6 on Amazin’ Avenue’s preseason prospect list and is currently ranked No. 2 on MLB Pipeline’s list of top Mets prospects, put up an .827 OPS in […]
With his 4th inning strikeout of Hunter Feduccia last night, Kevin Gausman became the 91st pitcher in major league history to record 2,000 strikeouts (and finished the night in 90th place given that Andy Benes had 2,000 on the nose). Gausman is just the 10th among those 91 to have played for the Blue Jays […]
The Atlanta Braves have had one of the best offenses in MLB, and they will need to lean on it tonight with Grant Holmes struggling as of late. The Braves are third in MLB in barrel percentage, and batted ball events. When you hit the ball with quality combined with hitting it often, it generally […]
When the Las Vegas Raiders selected former Arizona defensive backs Treydan Stukes and Dalton Johnson in the 2026 NFL draft, they weren’t just adding a couple of safeties to the roster. The Raiders got a pair of team captains to help lead the charge for the organization’s rebuild. To get a better understanding of Stukes’ […]
LOS ANGELES — Max Muncy hit a home run on Monday against the San Francisco Giants, which might have been expected. The Dodgers third baseman has been hitting the ball hard this season, among the best in baseball, and he already played three games this year against the Giants without hitting a home run. One […]
The Red Sox and Phillies have had similar starts to the season: they’re two big ballclubs with big aspirations who both immediately fell on their faces, prompting two managerial firings. And while the Phillies have done a better job righting the ship under their new skipper than the Sox have, they’ll both share some history […]
It was a while back when I posted something in the Feed asking for your hot takes for the rest of the Phillies season. In the middle of a supremely cold streak is not usually the time to hope for optimism and joy, so naturally a lot of the responses were of the negative variety. […]
Who’s Hot At The Plate? Xavier Neyens – Neyens, the Astros first round pick last year, put together another big week. In 5 games he hit .333 with one home run and an impressive 9 walks to just 3 strikeouts. Neyens has a .985 OPS this season so far. Nehomar Ochoa – Ochoa is truly […]
During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I’ve never been shy about delving into the team’s history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having […]
The Yankees offense is in a bit of a rut, losing their last four games by scoring three or fewer runs in each. It coincides with a period in which several of their hitters — Ben Rice, Giancarlo Stanton, Jasson Domínguez, and José Caballero — have dealt with or are dealing with minor injuries, but […]
Raise your hand if you knew that 41 games into the season — one-quarter of the way — the Braves and Cubs would have the two best records in the National League. I better not see any hands raised because, no, you didn’t know that. None of us did. But that should make this a […]
After calling Dodger Stadium home during their careers, Bean and Burke will now be part of the Dodgers ballpark for all time.
Happy Tuesday one and all. Hope your offseason is going well. We finish up looking at the 2026 undrafted free agents with a look at Ole Miss safety Wydett Williams Jr. From the team: Wydett Williams Jr. (WHY-dett) (6-1, 200) played last season at Mississippi and helped the Rebels make the College Football Playoff where they […]
Recently, Eric Stephen made the following observation on BlueSky, referencing the extinct dodo bird in relation to MLB physical tickets. I was going to respond, but then I realized I could channel my inner Brennan Lee Mulligan and tie together a couple of stories I had been meaning to write about, as I stumbled upon […]
Talkin' Gaysball: Instead of letting their fabulously gay landmark wilt in the sun, the Marlins need to move the HR sculpture back into the ballpark.
As the Colorado Rockies embark in earnest on their rebuild, attention turns to what’s happening in their farm system, especially with the pitching staff. One of those players is RHP JB Middleton (No. 7 PuRP), currently on the Fresno Grizzlies. Actually, I’ll turn it over to Purple Row’s prospects expert Jeff Aberle: Although he sent […]
After taking game one of the weekend series in Miami and getting back to within 1 game of .500, the Nationals dropped the final two games to lose the series to the Marlins, who stormed ahead in the 8th inning of both Saturday and Sunday’s games. They didn’t play badly in either of the losses, […]
The Phillies and Red Sox have a lot in common this season. After making the playoffs in 2025, both teams made offseason moves that weren’t embraced by many fans. And both got off to poor starts that resulted in an early season firing of the manager. Another thing the teams have in common: They’ve gotten […]
