How good has Austin Wells been of late? Initially starting this game on the bench, Wells joined the action in the eighth with a pinch-hit single to prime his bat for the true decisive blow — the go-ahead two-out, two-run single in the tenth to salvage a win from a day when it looked like […]

After 23 years, there is finally going to be a changing of the guard for the Los Angeles Angels. Arte Moreno, who purchased the team for $184 million following their World Series-winning season, agreed to sell the team to Kroenke Sports & Entertainment for a reported $4 billion — a record sale in Major League […] The post Mike Trout’s ‘fresh’ take a damning indictment of Arte Moreno’s Angels failures appeared first on ClutchPoints .
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers have hit 11 leadoff home runs this season, the most in franchise history. Ezequiel Durán hit the 11th on Wednesday afternoon, turning on a 1-1 slider from Jacob Lopez and driving it a Statcast-projected 406 feet over the left-field wall at Globe Life Field. It was the first leadoff […]
The Pirates are in agreement with catcher Jose Herrera on a minor league deal, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He’s been assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis. Herrera hasn’t appeared in the majors this season. The switch-hitter signed an offseason minor league contract with Texas. He spent the first half of the year with their top affiliate […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Padres fans and fans across the country. The San Diego Padres made it through much of the 2026 season with bubble gum and duct tape holding their starting pitching staff together. Michael King […]

‘More Is Possible’: Mizzou Launches Memorial Stadium's New Era
Let’s play a game of Mad Libs. Here, you give me an adjective. Any adjective. Got one? Okay, great. Here was the sentence we can plug it into: The San Francisco Giants have been [adjective] this season. If you said “bad,” or “pathetic,” or “dysfunctional,” or “worms for brains-esque,” then I regret to inform you […]
The Braves DFA’d Hayden Harris Wednesday to make space on the 40-man roster to bring up repeat DFA victim Eliesar Hernandez. Harris was once viewed as an extremely promising bullpen prospect for Atlanta, with outrageous strikeout rates in the minors due to a unique fastball shape. He had a rough couple of innings in the […]
Well this game had everything. A nice early lead, defensive miscues from rookie defenders, bad bullpen work, heroics, more shaky bullpen work, and finally 12th inning heroics from Spencer Torkelson as the Tigers staved off the sweep with an 11-6 victory over the Twins very late on Wednesday night. The Tigers took the field looking […]
September 2: As expected, the transaction log indicates that Anderson cleared waivers and elected free agency. He’ll surely be limited to minor league offers this offseason but could re-sign with the Halos as a depth option for the final few weeks. August 30: The Angels announced several roster moves today, mostly on the pitching side. […]
A former cornerback of the Pittsburgh Steelers could soon be joining the Arizona Cardinals.

Alabama is not looking to be the program that gets left behind in the rapidly changing world of college football. But Crimson Tide athletic director Greg Byrne has also made it clear that there is a line Alabama is not willing to cross. Speaking on Hey Coach, Byrne gave an inside look at how Alabama […] The post Kalen DeBoer Receives Clear Instructions From Alabama AD as Lane Kiffin’s LSU Gamble Tests SEC Boundaries appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The New York Giants welcomed a big addition in the offseason after signing Isaiah Likely to a three-year, $40 million contract. Likely will start a new chapter after spending his first four years with the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old tight end will be a key target for Jaxson Dart, who is expected to be more […] The post Isaiah Likely can’t believe how Giants ran training camp before John Harbaugh appeared first on ClutchPoints .
This is your one-stop shop for every Dodgers stint on the injured list during the 2026 season. We’ll also include every time a player misses time on the paternity list, bereavement leave, or is on the family medical emergency list as well. Basically any time a player misses time that requires a roster move, we’ll […]
FRISCO, Texas – Sebastian Walcott homered for the third consecutive game Tuesday night at Riders Field, the first time the Texas Rangers prospect has put together that stretch in his Double-A career. The Frisco RoughRiders fell 9-5 to the Amarillo Sod Poodles in the opener of a six-game series. Down 9-3 with Frisco batting in […]
There are frustrating losses, and then there is whatever the White Sox subjected us to on Wednesday night. Chicago wasted nearly every opportunity it received, went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and handed Houston the only two runs it needed in a maddening 2-0 defeat. The lone silver lining came elsewhere, as Cleveland also […]
If I had told you coming into the game that the Cubs would score five earned runs on Jacob Misiorowski, the first time he’s given up more than three earned this season, you probably wouldn’t have believed me. They jumped on the Cy Young in waiting with a leadoff walk by Pete Crow-Armstrong and a … The post Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (9/2/26): Brewers 9, Cubs 5 – Even Handing Miz His Worst Start Can’t Buy W appeared first on .
Box Score When it’s 90 degrees at Wrigley Field, games tend to be exciting — even when an ace is on the mound. On paper, this was a lopsided pitching matchup, with Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski facing off against the Cubs’ David Peterson. But both offenses had no trouble scoring early in this one, a back-and-forth […]
Thank goodness for the Blue Jays. Their 11-0 blanking of the Cleveland Guardians was in the books halfway through this one, which will make it a little easier for the White Sox to sleep tonight after suffering vapor lock in both halves of the eighth inning. In the top of it, they had runners on the corners with nobody out, and bases loaded with one out, and couldn't convert on either. In the bottom half, a Chase Meidroth error-turned-hometown-single forced Sean Newcomb to record four outs, a...
For two months, Freddie Freeman was practically mute at the plate, at least when it came to home runs. All that changed on Wednesday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the St. Louis Cardinals at home. In the bottom of the 1st inning, Freeman blasted one out to left-center field with two runners on.
