Another injury setback brings up a harsh epiphany about Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani.
The 41-52 Athletics took on the 47-45 Chicago White Sox at Rate Field in Chicago today. While the A’s are struggling, the Southsiders are amid the most dramatic turn-around from last season. Jacob Lopez took the mound as today’s opener, going up against 26-year-old righty Sean Burke for the White Sox. Lopez took on the […]
The Phillies have moved on from veteran outfielder Dylan Carlson. He was released after spending a couple of months at Triple-A with the organization.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald had some advice on how to win the Super Bowl, he admitted on The Dan Patrick Show. He revealed that Giants head coach John Harbaugh gave him some tips. However, he chose to keep another name a secret, highlighting that they’d have a “conflict of interest” if he named […] The post Mike MacDonald Shuts Down Speculation That Tom Brady Helped Seahawks Win Super Bowl LX Over Patriots appeared first on EssentiallySports .
There was certainly relief when Shohei Ohtani finally returned to full-time pitching this season after undergoing his second Tommy John surgery in 2023. However, that relief didn’t last long. At 32, he has encountered several minor setbacks, including a hitting slump, left knee inflammation, and arm tightness, as he works his way back to being […] The post “Not Going to Change Anything” – Dodgers Manager Breaks Silence on Shohei Ohtani After All-Star Game Decision appeared first on Essential...
Sometimes, one small play in a game ends up ruining it. When Adley Rutschman didn’t challenge a pitch in the eighth inning that was called a ball, I thought that was the small ruining play. The batter went on to homer. The game was tied, and I assumed the Orioles would soon fall behind. But […]
The Dodgers (61-33) take on the D-backs (46-47) at Dodger Stadium Friday night for a NL West clash. Shohei Ohtani was scratched from his start due to continued left knee irritation. Kyle Hurt will open a bullpen game for the Dodgers in the series opener. Eduardo Rodriguez (7-3, 2.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP) goes for the […]
During Summer League action between the Toronto Raptors and the Boston Celtics, Scottie Barnes appeared on the ESPN broadcast (NBA TV Canada). At one point in the sideline interview, Barnes was asked about the potential addition of Kawhi Leonard. Barnes immediately thought of the potential defence. “We’re trying to take candy from a baby,” said […]
Hunter Greene spent over three months on the shelf following his March surgery to cleanup loose bodies in his prized right elbow. Safe to say, when he returned for his season debut last weekend, things went about as poorly as they could have possibly gone. On Friday, though, the Reds officially got their ace back. […]
Aaron Nola was serviceable again but Tim Mayza had one of the worst innings of his nine-year big league career as the Philadelphia Phillies (52-43) unraveled late in a 10-2 drubbing at the hands of the Detroit Tigers (44-50). Derek Hill led off the third inning with his seventh home run of the year for […]

His last start was in the Giants’ 6-4 […]
The Royals fell 5-3 after another very Luinder Avila start and one too many trips to the bullpen. Matt Strahm gave up the final blow, a two-run home run to Samuel Basallo. Before that, it was a pretty close game. As noted above, Luinder Avila got the start in this one for KC. He pitched […]

The Phillies stumbled into the All-Star break last season, losing two out of three close games against the Padres in San Diego. This year’s Phillies are going through a similar slump, as they dropped the first game against the Detroit Tigers in the last series before the break by a final of 10-2. Pending the […]
It is Friday night. The Orioles have beaten the Royals, 5-3. Brandon Young turned in an excellent seven-plus inning start, and after he left with the game tied, Samuel Basallo delivered an absolutely joyous and righteous go-ahead home run to put the Orioles on top. Bring this energy into all of your most important tasks: […]
The Jays traded away Tommy Nance (and $250,000 in international signing bonus money) to the Twins for Catcher/Infielder Ryan Sprock (he’s assigned to Vancouver). FanGraphs had him at #31 on their Top Prospect list. They must see something in Sprock. He has a .297/.427/.428 in 67 games at A ball. Also Braydon Fisher has activated […]

Talk about opening a series in style as the Tigers beat the Phillies 10-2 to open the last weekend series of the first half. For the last weekend series before the All-Star Break, the Tigers were squaring off against the club that would be hosting the All-Star Game in the Phillies. They were hoping to […]
The Colorado Rockies (38-57) continue their series against the San Francisco Giants (39-54) tonight at Oracle Park, their final series before the All-Star break.
