The Reno Aces, the Triple-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, are debuting unique jerseys for the team's Toy Story night against the Salt Lake Bees on Saturday.
As some fans are wondering where the Baltimore Orioles will go when it comes to a trade offer and if they will be active at the trade deadline, the production on the field should not go unnoticed, as well. After Orioles star Gunnar Henderson hit his 100th career home run on Friday, the San Diego […] The post Orioles’ Gunnar Henderson calls out Padres’ ‘payback’ after hit-by-pitch appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Occasionally there are games where a bad first inning is enough to make you consider doing something other than watching Orioles baseball that day. That was the case here as the Padres scored four runs before the O’s even got a chance to hit and eventually prevailed to a 9-3 win on Saturday afternoon in […]
Was that the Chicago White Sox tied for first place in the American League Central Division coming into the weekend? Yes, the same team that lost 100 games in each of the previous three seasons is staging a miraculous Cinderella season in 2026, with a 37-32 record, far above expectations. But they shouldn't take their foot off the gas, and should certainly be buyers at the trade deadline — within reason. To that end, Christopher Kline of Fansided has proposed four trade targets to bolste...
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in their usual position as they approach the middle of June. They are in first place in the National League West, and the two-time defending World Series champions appear to have the roster to make an excellent run at a third straight title. "I never come into the season with […] The post Dodgers’ Max Muncy’s heartwarming reason for wanting to make All-Star team appeared first on ClutchPoints .
In the Los Angeles Dodgers’ game against the Chicago White Sox, which ended in a 7-1 win on Saturday evening, it featured a great outing from pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. As the Dodgers’ win over the White Sox could’ve included potentially a perfect game from Yamamoto, a weird error from Mookie Betts ended the bid. In […] The post Dodgers’ Mookie Betts ends Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s perfect game in weirdest way possible appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Cleveland Guardians star José Ramírez suffered a fractured hamate bone in his left hand during the team's 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday, per Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan.
Shohei Ohtani is back; he homered to open the scoring in what turned out to be a 7-1 Dodgers win, and yet he takes a backseat in the storyline of this game as Yoshinobu Yamamoto toyed with perfection—not allowing a single baserunner through the first 7.2 innings—carrying a no-hit bid into the ninth inning before […]
As it has been a red-hot start for New York Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler to begin his career, it continued against the Toronto Blue Jays after another good outing in the 3-1 win on Saturday. With the historic start for the Yankees’ pitcher in Schlittler, he would speak before the game about Blue Jays fans […] The post Yankees’ Cam Schlittler drops ‘easy to rage-bait’ claim on Blue Jays fans appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Boston Red Sox scored six runs. The Rangers had four opportunities with the bases loaded today and went 0-for-4. The Red Sox had one opportunity with the bases loaded after two infield dribble hits and a walk and went 1-for-1 with the eventual winning hit. The Rangers […]
Nationals 8, Mariners 3 Day baseball nap: Colt Emerson, .17 WPA Day baseball nap, on the cap: Luis Castillo, -.37 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
The Cleveland Guardians are in the middle of an extremely difficult game despite holding a lead over the Detroit Tigers as of this story’s writing. Angel Martinez and Chase DeLauter exited with injuries early in the game. According to Zack Meisel of The Athletic, Jose Ramirez later exited with an apparent injury as well. Not […] The post Jose Ramirez becomes 3rd Guardians player to exit Tigers game with injury appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Before Thursday's rainout, when the probable starter for Saturday was TBA and Hagen Smith was under consideration, one of the stopping points to consider was whether it was wise to make a prospect working on his control face a veteran and disciplined Dodgers batting order in his big league debut. The defending champs' offense is not at full-strength, but they are top-five in walk rate and bottom-five in chase rate once more. Smith is making his start in Charlotte, and even at his worst, it'd...
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas exited the team’s game on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox due to an apparent injury. Jack Harris of the California Post shared the report on X, formerly Twitter. “Miguel Rojas got checked out by a trainer during an at-bat here in the seventh, and is now out of […] The post Dodgers’ Miguel Rojas exits White Sox game with apparent injury appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto came closer than almost anyone in MLB history to throwing a no-hitter. Again. Tristan Peters’ home run to lead off the ninth inning cost Yamamoto a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox on June…
The Tigers’ ace returned to the mound looking healthy, but a little rusty as well. The lineup stranded a bunch of runners, and then largely went to sleep in the middle innings as the Guardians took the game 3-1, clinching a series victory on Sunday. Tarik Skubal returned the mound just five weeks after hitting […]
On the first mini-skid of the season, missing Drake Baldwin and Ronald Acuna from the lineup, the Braves were hoping to level the series in Flushing behind Martin Perez. The opening inning was a bit strange, as Sean Manaea threw 19 pitches, only 3 of which were in the strike zone, and was rewarded with […]
The Royals are going to take the field again tonight, and there’s nothing you or I can do to stop them. So we might as well see if they can find a win. The good news is that Noah Cameron is pitching for the Royals. After being so bad early that fans were ready to […]
The New York Yankees must trade for Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell amid the injuries to Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Trent Grisham.
Yankees 2 Blue Jays 1 Let’s talk about the eighth inning, because that’s the one that interests me. Now John decided to pinch run for Sánchez. Seemed weird, as he wasn’t the lead runner. But then Okamoto had a pretty good chance of hitting in the ninth. Personally, thought, I’d have ran for Okamoto or […]
As New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. has led the team with this talent, there is one area of his game that has been a negative trend all season. With Chisholm and others looking to fill the Yankees’ void left by Aaron Judge, the star would once again make an error when it comes […] The post Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s confident ABS challenge hilariously backfires appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The San Diego Padres have placed Miguel Andujar on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain and called up Nick Solak from their Triple-A affiliate, El Paso Chihuahuas, to replace him on the roster. Andujar strained his hamstring attempting to beat out an infield hit in the seventh inning against the New York […]
In a game in which the inactive players on both teams could fill most of an All-Star Game lineup, two outstanding pitchers took full advantage. Aaron Judge, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Trent Grisham, and Alejandro Kirk were just some of the names that weren’t featured in the starting lineups. So all Kevin Gausman and Cam Schlittler […]
The Rockies have selected the contract of right-hander Eiberson Castellano, the team announced. When he appears in a game, it will be his MLB debut. Castellano will take the 40-man roster spot of righty Valente Bellozo. The veteran has already cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A. Right-hander Jeff Criswell was optioned to open […]
