It is an understatement to say that things have not gone well for the Orioles in New York this weekend. They have been outplayed at every turn over the last two games and it’s hard to imagine things turning around today. Top Orioles pitching prospect Trey Gibson is in New York to make his Major […]

Today’s roster move: Here Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Diamondbacks lineup: Matthew Boyd, LHP vs. Merrill Kelly, RHP Matthew Boyd’s numbers aren’t good (7.00 ERA, 1.444 WHIP) but I can’t help thinking he’s pitched better than that record. For one thing, in his two bad starts a run scored in each after he left the game. […]

After the Phillies delivered a one-hit offensive outburst on Saturday, they’ll try to get the bats going on Sunday in game three of their four-game series in Miami. Jesus Luzardo gets the ball for the Phillies. The former Marlin hasn’t had a great season so far, but he’s coming off a strong start of seven […]
During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I’ve never been shy about delving into the team’s history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having […]
Game four of four. A win would mean a series win. And a win would bring us back to .500 for the first time since April 4th. They are 6-2 over the last 8 games. And it is a Trey Yesavage start. 5.1 shutout innings in his first start. The Jays made some minor league […]
First Chuck: 11:45 AM CDT (new anthem each week!) The Tube: NBCSN/Peacock The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: Bluebird Banter A few weeks ago, the Toronto Blue Jays & Minnesota Twins clashed in a tight series that saw MN quite unexpectedly take two-of-three from the defending champs. Film fans will know that […]
Columbus Clippers 5, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Zach McKinstry hit a home run in his Triple-A debut on Saturday, but Toledo’s offense didn’t do much else in a 5-3 loss to Columbus. McKinstry hit his bomb in the fourth with Max Burt on base. It was the only extra-base hit of the day, but […]
The Mets are set to call up infielder Vidal Bruján to replace Ronny Mauricio on their active roster, according to Mike Puma. Mauricio is heading to the injured list with a left thumb fracture that he suffered in the Mets’ loss to the Angels last night. Mauricio himself was called up on April 23 to […]
The Dodgers continue their road trip on Monday night against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is coming off his shortest start of the season, with five innings and four runs (three earned) allowed against the Miami Marlins at Dodger Stadium. He lasted at least six innings in his previous eight straight starts […]
One of the strengths of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders this season is their bullpen. Entering Saturday, the Yankees’ Triple-A club ranked second in the International League in bullpen ERA at 3.40 and paced Triple-A in fewest walks with 57. Thanks to the bullpen’s efforts, the RailRiders have nine wins in games where they were trailing at […]
Cubs closer Daniel Palencia went on the injured list April 17 (retroactive to April 14) with what was originally termed an oblique strain, later amended to a lat injury. Palencia has thrown a couple of bullpens and one inning in a rehab assignment for Triple-A Iowa last Friday, in which he was throwing over 100 […]
The San Diego Padres haven’t been in this position in quite some time. In fact, they went all of April without losing the first two games of a series. They’ve now dropped four straight for the first time in 2026, and there’s really only one culprit. The bats have been cold. Throughout the losing streak, […]
Team News Vargas’ hit streak snapped at 27 games in D-backs’ shutout loss “I think [it] was awesome to see the [streak] in person,” pitcher Ryne Nelson said. “I’ve never seen anything like that. But just a guy like him, what he brings to this clubhouse, he’s always happy, he’s always smiling, he’s always having […]
Another series, another series win, and another chance for a Braves sweep. After winning a series with some late-inning heroics back in Atlanta and then letting the Tigers salvage the final game, the Braves have once again taken a series with the help of a roaring comeback and will go for another sweep on Sunday […]

The Mariners were a little bit of everything in April, which is exactly what they were supposed to be. The Mariners finished April with a .500 record. The month included a five-game losing streak, a four-game losing streak, and two four-game winning streaks. They were projected in the preseason as favorites in their division and […]
Babe Ruth is certainly the most famous trade/acquisition in Yankees’ history, probably in baseball history, and you could make the argument for in all of sports history. A big part of its fame relates to how much it almost immediately became a massive swindle, leading to the Red Sox being “cursed” for decades to come. […]
The Washington Nationals lead the league in errors, and have 7 more than the next closest team. After the game, it was clear that Blake Butera had finally lost his patience with all the mistakes. He vowed to change the way the Nats prepare before games and added that you cannot win many games when […]
Three of the four Dodgers minor league affiliates won on Saturday, plus the rookie-level Arizona Complex League got underway in the desert. Player of the day Christian Zazueta pitched a career-high 6 2/3 innings in a win for High-A Great Lakes. He allowed only a solo home run and one other single in his first […]
The Rangers needs for a wing or right defenseman aren't pressing, but are these prospects good enough to sway them? Our latest Draft Radar Scouting Report dives into it.
Keep stacking. One after another, the Cubs have been able to keep stacking wins. 10 straight home wins now. This is getting into some pretty rare air. I feel like a broken record. This is not an all-time great Cub team. But somehow, some way they just keep on winning. If anything, that’s the best […]
Hickory starter A.J. Russell struck out five and walked two in two innings, allowing two runs. Moises Morales struck out nine and walked two in five innings, allowing two runs. Paulino Santana was 4 for 5 with two doubles. Marcos Torres had a pair of hits, a walk and a stolen base. Daniel Flames had […]
Saturday was full of action, with six games in the system thanks to a Columbus doubleheader and the start of FCL play. Unfortunately the teams in the Atlanta Braves system dropped each one of the six games on the slate. Despite it being a bad day in the results column, we got to witness Owen […]
