The Mets have officially reinstated Juan Soto from the injured list, and he’ll serve as designated hitter and bat second tonight as the Mets face Twins left-handed pitcher Connor Prielipp. In a corresponding move, the Mets optioned catcher Hayden Senger to Triple-A Syracuse. The team had previously been carrying three catchers—Francisco Alvarez, Luis Torrens, and […]
Having won the first two games of this series against the Seattle Mariners, the first-place Athletics enter this afternoon’s matchup at T-Mobile Park seeking to complete the series sweep and extend their road winning streak to eight games. It’s still early, but a road sweep of the defending division champion would signal that Mark Kotsay’s A’s are not […]
The Rays were looking to wrap up their home series against the Reds by avoiding the series sweep. To get there, they had Nick Martinez on the mound up against Brandon Williamson for the Reds. This sets up the delightful situation where we will see Williamson vs Williamson at-bats. TJ Friedl kicked off the first […]
While a lot of the regulars for the Braves have started to really get going at the plate, there are still a smal handful of players who are scuffling about while looking to finally get a foothold on this current season of baseball. One of those regulars is Mike Yastrzemski, who has gotten off to […]
Rutgers Baseball dropped a midweek game 10-5 against St. John’s yesterday, despite the Scarlet Knights racing out to a 4-1 start after the first two innings. The Red Storm used a strong fourth inning to overcome their early deficit before putting Rutgers away by scoring five runs in the final two innings. Chase Krewson and […]
Former Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur will be feeling the Arizona heat more than usual as his Cardinals try to right the ship in the 2026 NFL draft. The Cardinals and LaFleur will be under extreme pressure to nail the draft, or risk falling further behind their NFC West rivals. Arizona finished 3-14 […]
Picture this. A player with unfathomable power who obliterates every ball he makes contact with and a decent understanding of the strike zone. Picture that player also with a very steep bat path that creates a massive hole in his swing that makes them extremely prone for in-zone whiffs, to the point where they can […]
Game Summary The Marlins jump Leahy for an early 2-0 with death by a thousand cuts singles with too many walks sprinkled in. The Cardinals come out swinging against Junk (literally and figuratively), but muster only a weak single against him. Leahy labors through 5 innings, giving up 8 hits, 3 walks, 1 HBP and […]
1900 After a loss debuting in the American League on April 21, the White Sox split the weekend and got in the winning column with a 5-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in front of a Sunday crowd of 15,000 fans at South Side Park. The deciding run came in the seventh inning, snapping a […]
Game three of three with the Angels. When I went to watch games in Anaheim, I really enjoyed the stadium. It was the first ballpark I’d been to that basically had a shopping mall in it. I remember looking in the Oakley store at over priced sunglasses and one of the sales person said I […]
Showcasing just how much he was held back last season, his first coming back from elbow surgery, Shohei Ohtani could tonight against the Giants complete at least half of his innings total in last year’s regular season. The back-to-back NL MVP has three starts on the year, completing exactly six innings in each of them […]
The San Diego Padres addressed their rotation needs about as quickly as the Friar Faithful could hope for. The Padres announced this morning that they have signed right-hander Lucas Giolito to a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2027. In a corresponding move, Bryan Hoeing was moved from the 40-man roster to the 60-day […]
Position: DT Height: 6’2.5” Weight: 298 40 yd Dash: Unavailable Shuttle Time: Unavailable Vertical Jump: Unavailable Broad Jump: Unavailable Bench Press: Unavailable College Performance: Frustrating is probably the word Clemson fans would use to describe Woods’ time with the Tigers. His performance in 2023 was Freshman All-American worthy and he followed it up with an […]
Didier Fuentes will be the starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves tonight as he makes his return to the big leagues. Here’s hoping that he’s ready this time because as the Washington Nationals have proved over the course of the season so far and these first two games, their lineup is one that should definitely […]
The Nationals offense has shown they can beat teams in several ways. They can hit for power, string together hits and play some small ball. However, they showed a new element last night. The Nats took advantage of 12 walks to beat the Braves and put up 11 runs. This was the first time since […]
The Orioles/Royals series so far has played out like a competition between two closely matched opponents. And that’s not a good thing for the O’s. The Royals entered the series with the worst record in the American League — and, in fact, still have it — but the Birds haven’t exactly feasted on them like […]
Some relievers are easy to admire because of pure stuff. Fernando Cruz is easy to root for because every pitch he throws in pinstripes feels like the payoff to a baseball life that was never supposed to take him here. That feeling stems not only from the high-leverage situations he keeps being placed in, but […]
The Cubs are in the midst of their longest winning streak since 2023, but it does feel a bit precarious. While the roster was built for a deep October run, with an excellent lineup and bullpen bolstered by numerous offseason acquisitions, injuries have been a massive issue early. Precisely no one had Javier Assad and […]
Arsenal are absolutely reeling right now, in desperate need of a win. Perhaps they are catching Newcastle United, a side with not much to play for really, at the right time. The Geordies, buried deep on the second page of the standings, also have a couple new injury concerns in Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento. […] The post Newcastle Team News at Arsenal: Anthony Gordon, Tino Livramento, Joelinton appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Welcome to the second edition of the revamped Rivalry Roundup! The Yankees were able to address one of their main rivals head-on last night, blanking the Red Sox behind a sterling effort from Luis Gil and a power display from Giancarlo Stanton. Even if it’s April 22nd, there’s never a bad time to see the […]
With a day left before the Arizona Cardinals make their pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the rumors continue to fly. The Cardinals have been working to move down and secure more picks, many believe to draft Ty Simpson at some point in the first round. However, as we close into draft day, those rumors […]
Worcester: L, 3-12 (BOX SCORE) This opening game against the Mets was never in doubt. The WooSox were dominated all night and had just one extra base hit, a double by Nick Sogard. Meanwhile, the pitching staff started off on a semi-wrong foot with Isaac Coffey failing to get out of the fourth inning despite […]
The Houston Astros (9-16) and Cleveland Guardians (14-11) will play the rubber match of this 3-game set this afternoon at Progressive Field. RHP Peter Lambert (0-1, 7.20 ERA) will start for HOU vs. CLE RHP Tanner Bibee (0-2, 4.81 ERA). The Astros won Monday night’s series opener, 9-2, while the Guardians took last night’s game, […]
A weight has been lifted off of the Royals after the comeback win last night. Kansas City did a lot of the things you expect professional team to do including getting runners home from third with less than two outs, key hits with runners in scoring position, and taking advantage of miscues from the other […]
The A’s announced on Wednesday afternoon mere hours before their series finale against the Mariners that they were placing center fielder Denzel Clarke on the IL with a right foot bone bruise, with fellow outfielder Colby Thomas taking his spot: It’s a disappointing development for Clarke, who has gotten off to a brutal start at […]
