One thing is for sure. You cannot say you were not entertained by the Cubs’ 5-4 win over the Rockies Monday evening at Wrigley Field. It had a little bit of everything — some solid pitching, some blown leads, Pete Crow-Armstrong’s cycle and and in the end, the Cubs’ ninth walk-off win of 2026 on […]
It was a rough weekend for Orioles star shortstop Gunnar Henderson. With two outs in the bottom of the 9th Saturday, Gunnar took a fastball to the ribs from Padres reliever Ron Marinaccio, presumably as retribution for Xander Bogaerts being hit in the head by a pitch earlier in the game. That moment sparked a […]
Two year ago, before the emergence of top prospects Nolan McLean, Brandon Sproat and Jonah Tong, it was Christian Scott who was the top pitching prospect in the Mets system.

Despite still missing Aaron Judge, they took two out of three over the Blue Jays, using big ninth inning homers from Paul Goldschmidt and Ben Rice to take both games. Now, they’re set to return home for another series […]
1908 The number 13 proved lucky for the White Sox, as a 3-2 win over the New York Highlanders ran their winning streak to 13 games. Ed Walsh went the distance to improve to 14-3 on the season, while the Sox offense buffeted just five singles in the game with eight walks and five stolen […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers received some encouraging news on Monday regarding one of the most important arms in their bullpen. Star closer Edwin Díaz, who has been sidelined for most of the 2026 MLB season, continues to make progress in…
The Red Sox did the near-unthinkable: they won 2 games in a row at home! A whole series! And it was against a team right in the playoff mix and just 1.0 game back for the lead in the AL West. At 35-36 the Rangers just left Boston under .500. Also under .500 are the […]

Last week, the Denver Post’s Troy Renck laid out his trade-deadline philosophy for the Colorado Rockies, writing that the team is “making progress, but (it is) time for Paul DePodesta, Josh Byrnes to flex muscles with trades.” To summarize, here’s how Renck think the Rockies should approach the trade deadline: “Other than catcher Hunter Goodman […]
We are into the middle of June and the Orioles are still playing a confusing season where they seem to be teetering on the edge of making it a lost season where there’s no consolation but what is happening on the farm. They also are managing to avoid falling over the edge, at least so […]
This was the 10th week of full minor league play (stats are entering play on Monday, June 15th). According to FanGraphs (which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues), 22-year old Caden Bodine remains the top hitter spot in the Rays system. The backstop was recently added to Baseball America’s top 100 prospect […]
Only the White Sox rookie leagues were active on Monday, and the box scores below aren’t anything to write home about.
