Today’s roster move: Here Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Astros lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Kai-Wei Teng, RHP Colin Rea’s last start was pretty bad, so let’s try to ignore it. (Yes, I know you can’t really do that.) In fact, over his last five starts Rea has posted a 7.04 ERA and 1.913 WHIP and […]

But then on Saturday he changed his mind, per Rhett Bollinger and Brent Maguire of MLB.com. Taylor was on a minor league deal with the Angels and hit .255/.382/.321 with […]
The other day it was announced that the Nationals were promoting Jackson Kent to Triple-A. With this news happening, I wanted to talk about Kent because he is a fascinating and under-discussed prospect. You can argue that Kent is the Nats best healthy pitching prospect, though I would probably put him second behind Miguel Sime […]
I have all sorts of questions for Brandon Marsh. Chief among them is how to grow a beard like that. But as this is a baseball site, and as my doomed attempts to grow impressive facial hair are likely of little interest to anyone other than myself, we’ll instead ask a different question: how has […]
Baseball history is full of managers who are famous for all sorts of reasons. Some are known for their unmatched success, others for their failures, and some for a particular moment or antics. Buck Showalter’s story is like that of most ballplayers. He never made it to the majors as a player and after his […]
After a stunning walk-off in the 11th inning to win yesterday’s matchup, the Atlanta Braves are looking for a series win against the high-offensive-powered Washington Nationals with Grant Holmes on the mound. Holmes, who’s holding a 3.80 ERA and a 3-1 record, had a nice outing against the Boston Red Sox last weekend (May 17). […]
The Cubs, on a six-game losing streak and in an offensive funk, have made a roster move that could shake things up, if only a bit. Outfielder Kevin Alcántara has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa. In 41 games for Iowa this year, Alcántara is batting .242/.339/.567 (38-for-157) with 15 home runs. The power is good, […]

Friday’s 9-4 loss against the Chicago White Sox was just the latest in a growing line of duds, of get-it-over-with games — and it started with an element of promise. They always do: fresh off a day of rest, back home after a nine game road trip, Trevor McDonald on the mound. McDonald’s career still […]
Belchetz has 40-goal upside and checks every box the Rangers prioritize. But a broken clavicle and a defense-heavy draft class would make using the fifth pick on him a real gamble.
It isn’t often that a team wins 10 straight and so quickly thereafter loses six straight. But it’s been that kind of year for the Cubs. Every single year there is a stretch where the Cubs run into a number of elite pitchers and the bats go into a funk. To my eye, they’ve held […]
Cole Ragans will begin a rehab assignment at Omaha, writes Jaylon Thompson. He is set to start Saturday’s game for the Storm Chasers against the St. Paul Saints — the Triple-A minor-league affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. “We have him scheduled for four to five innings,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “(It’s) 65 pitches, something […]

Blowout wins in Double-A and High-A were he highlights from Friday night in the Dodgers minor leagues. Player of the day It feels weird that for a game in which Tulsa scored 14 runs this award goes to a pitcher, but Adam Serwinowski had his best start of the season, striking out 10 in his […]
It did not look like it was going to be a good day for the San Diego Padres when their starting pitcher, Walker Buehler, allowed two runs in the first inning. It did not look much better when he allowed the visiting Athletics to take a 3-2 lead in the top of the fourth inning. […]
Angels 9, Rangers 6
The Yankees will have to wait another day to snap out of their divisional funk. They dropped back-to-back contests against the Blue Jays earlier this week to end the four-game set at Yankee Stadium in disappointing fashion, and a slim 1-0 lead against the first-place Rays in Gerrit Cole’s long-awaited comeback from Tommy John surgery […]
