In a pitching duel between Joe Ryan and Logan Gilbert it was the Twins who were the first to break through. In the 5th, Byron Buxton hit a misplaced Gilbert fastball out of the park to left for his 7th home run of the year. It was a good result, but felt somewhat lacking as, […]
Gwinnett Stripers 10, Charlotte Knights 7The Knights (13-15) spent most of the evening face-down in the dirt despite a frantic late scramble. Hagen Smith looked locked in early, breezing through two before the wheels wobbled in the third. A leadoff walk turned into a two-run shot, and just like that, Charlotte was chasing. Smith settled […]

Blake Snell had his way with Class-A hitters in his second minor league rehab start on Tuesday night. The Dodgers left-hander struck out six in three scoreless innings for Ontario against the Lake Elsinore Storm, a San Diego Padres affiliate. Snell struck out all three batters he faced in the first inning, then allowed a […]
The Atlanta Braves took on the Detroit Tigers in a clash of first place teams, both with some of the best rotation outputs in MLB. The Braves are red hot having won twenty games before May for the first time in franchise history, and going 20-9 for only the ninth time in franchise history. This […]
The Cubs claimed left-handed reliever Doug Nikhazy off of waivers and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa. Infielder Ben Cowles was designated for assignment. Left-hander Jackson Brockett was promoted from Low-A Myrtle Beach to High-A South Bend. Shortstop Yahil Melendez was promoted to Myrtle Beach from Mesa.

After a pit-stop on the way down I-75 for three games and some questionable “chili,” the Tigers continued south to visit the red-hot Atlanta ball club for the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday night. The Tigers’ bats ran cold, two key players left the game with injuries, and they dropped the opener to […]
With the first month of baseball in the books, there have been plenty of surprises across the league. From surprise contenders to fallen favorites and from managers on the hot seat to unexpected performers, the 2026 season has been full of surprises. While things are certain to shift as the long season drags on, here […]
Dodgers at the moment have their second three-game win streak of the season. They also have a five-game win streak (April 3-7) and a four-game win streak (April 13-17). The designated hitter bats leadoff for Los Angeles, per usual. Tuesday game info
Over the weekend, Maryland baseball lost its sixth Big Ten weekend series against Michigan State. After a Friday night victory, the Terps only recorded a combined total of 13 hits and five runs in the final two games. On Tuesday, the Terps notched that same number of hits and more than doubled the amount of […]
The Mizzou offense went through the first three innings without any hits, making the sparse fans on a cold, cloudy Columbia day quite nervous (including the editor of this site). But the Tigers heated up quickly, scoring seven runs in two innings en route to a 7-0 shutout win. Saniya Hill had a particularly impressive […]
The story before the game was Cleveland top prospect Travis Bazzana was recalled to help kickstart a struggling Guardians offense which had posted a 95 wRc+ over the past two weeks. While Bazzana did his part to help matters drawing two walks, Nick Martinez and comapny caused trouble and bothered everybody in the Cleveland lineup […]
Tonight marked the third series in a row in which the O’s have faced a last-place team. Are the Orioles a good team? We’re not sure. But right now, Houston has the worst record in the American League and is down a whole outfield, a shortstop, practically an entire bullpen… Surely, given the depleted […]
Go get ‘em, Edward.
The struggling Philadelphia Phillies got a masterful start from Jesús Luzardo Tuesday night. He held the San Francisco Giants to two baserunners and three total bases in seven innings of work, striking out eight including a hat trick of Matt Chapman. The only thing he didn’t go was close, leaving with a five-run lead after […]
In the wake of Rob Thomson’s sacrificial demise as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies (10-19) earlier today, the team put together their most complete win of the season for new boss, Don Mattingly, in a 7-0 dismantling of the San Francisco Giants (13-16). Jesus Luzardo and company held the Giants to two hits and combined […]
The Mets’ lineup took advantage of its opportunities tonight at Citi Field, as the team beat the Nationals by an 8-0 score. Clay Holmes pitched well, and a big error by the Nationals helped the Mets blow the game open, but there’s nothing wrong with any of that as far as the Mets are concerned. […]
After sweeping the New York Mets over the weekend, the Colorado Rockies hoped to continue on their winning track in Game 1 against the Cincinnati Reds. However, it was not to be as the Rockies, despite getting on base throughout the game, could never manage to bring runners home and lost the series opener, 7-2. […]
A lot of things went right for the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday night. Kyle Leahy pitched a solid 5 innings, multiple Cardinals tried to drown baseballs in the nearby Allegheny River and the St. Louis bullpen was adequate enough for another road victory. The Cardinals lineup struck early and often with Nolan Gorman crushing a […]
The Dodgers finish off their stretch of 13 game days in a row with a rare weekday daytime start at Dodger Stadium, hosting the Miami Marlins on getaway day Wednesday in Los Angeles. Tyler Glasnow takes the ball for the Dodgers in the homestand finale, coming off nine strikeouts in eight scoreless innings, the latter […]
Remember roughly five minutes ago when Sal Stewart’s start to the season was the talk of at least one particular corner of the baseball world? To be a bit more transparent, Sal’s still swatting the heck out of the baseball for the Cincinnati Reds. He even doubled and scored a run in the Reds series […]
Here is every transaction for the Los Angeles Dodgers for the entire 2026 season, starting with the first day of spring training through the end of the team’s postseason run. We will keep track of every single transaction involving the 40-man roster here, including players getting called up or sent down to the minor leagues, […]
I’ll never get used to the Sacramento Athletics, and frankly I’m stunned that the MLB owners even allowed the Athletics’ ownership to do what they did. But everyone has dollar signs for eyes, I guess, and the sooner the A’s situation gets resolved the sooner that owners can get those sweet, sweet expansion fees in […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are collecting as many Fitzgeralds as possible for their Triple-A Oklahoma City roster. On Tuesday they acquired infielder Tyler Fitzgerald from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations. The Dodgers also have Ryan Fitzgerald, who was acquired via waivers in January 9 and later sent outright off the 40-man roster. […]
