LOS ANGELES— The Dodgers were close to adding another walk-off win against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday, but instead came up short in a 4-3 defeat. Shohei Ohtani reached yet another milestone on Tuesday night, teeing off for his 300th career home run and leadoff homer run no. 25 as a Dodger to give his […]
Ahead of this weekend’s MLB draft, Baseball America published its midseason organization talent rankings, which will give White Sox fans a sense of how much picking first matters to the system’s perceived depth. And when it comes to perceptions, the White Sox are improving them. BA bumped them up one spot from 18th to 17th,… The post White Sox Minor Keys: July 7, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
The Astros unsuccessfully tried last offseason to acquire a left-handed hitting outfielder. That remains one of the front office’s top priorities as they prepare for next month’s trade deadline, general manager Dana Brown told Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The GM also added the club would be open to adding a right-handed pitcher who could […]
A handful of injured Orioles relievers are going for second opinions. As reflected on the MLB.com injury tracker, left-hander Keegan Akin will meet Dr. Keith Meister for evaluation on his elbow next week. Closer Ryan Helsley is going for further testing on his own elbow injury this week. Right-hander Colin Selby will visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache at […]
The Atlanta Braves made a series of roster moves ahead of Tuesday’s contest in Pittsburgh. Most notably, right-hander Owen Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. In addition, the club selected the contract of lefty Connor Thomas, released righty Daysbel Hernández, recalled righty James Karinchak, and placed righty Tyler Kinley on the paternity list. 22-year-old Murphy […]
Jays 9 Giants 3 Before the game, I asked the Jays to score and not just one run. And they did….I should have asked earlier. The Jays scored: We did go five inning there without getting a baserunner. But let’s focus on the nine runs instead. We had 13 hits. Clement (leading off) had three […]
Whatever momentum seemed to have been gained by the offensive outburst last night was immediately lost 24 hours later. We are right back in the same spot we were in when we got here yesterday. Really a frustrating night for a team that was hoping to turn a corner after last night and get some […]
The Red Sox have promoted pitching prospect Hayden Mullins from Double-A Portland to Triple-A Worcester, as was first reported by Tommy Cassell of The Worcester Telegram & Gazette. Mullins was slated to start Worcester’s series opener against Rochester at Polar Park on Tuesday, but it was postponed due to inclement weather. The 25-year-old left-hander will … Continue reading "Red Sox promote pitching prospect Hayden Mullins to Triple-A Worcester"
Continuing their road trip in Chicago, Boston opened a three-game series against the White Sox by riding another stellar start from Payton Tolle and a pair of second-inning home runs to an 8-1 victory. The win extended the club’s winning streak to four games and improved the Red Sox to 9-2 over their last 11 contests.
Charlotte Knights 8, Nashville Sounds 2Munetaka Murakami kicked off his Charlotte (47-41) rehab with a single in his first trip, putting two on with nobody out. That set up a first-inning run, courtesy of a Ryan Galanie fly out and a Caden Connor sac fly. Mune stuck around for five innings at first, finishing 1-for-3 […]
Well, well, well, what do we have here? Is that a competent baseball team I see? 9-2 in their last eleven games. A young flamethrower bouncing back from a bad outing with six shut out innings. Solid defense, every single person in the lineup reaching base at least once, and a big win on the […]
Coming off three consecutive losses, the Tampa Bay Rays were needing to bounce back against the Yankees on Tuesday night and they did just that behind a stellar performance by Ian Seymour and production from the bottom of the lineup. Having dropped game one of the four game set on Monday night, the Rays sent […]
The White Sox (47-43) took one on the chin to open the six-game homestand with the Red Sox (41-48), getting outhit, 11-4, and blown out, 8-1. Only two batters actually got a hit for the Good Guys, with Sam Antonacci snagging three hits, and Kyle Teel driving in the sole run for the South Siders. […]
Two Smokies got honored today. Catcher Owen Ayers was named Southern League Player of the Month for June. Over the past month, Ayers hit .451/.554/.824 with 13 doubles and seven home runs. Ayers led the league in average, hits, doubles, home runs, walks, total bases, on-base percentage and slugging. He was second in runs scored […]
The New York Yankees had every reason to feel encouraged after opening their four-game series with a 5-1 victory over Tampa Bay. Even Tuesday’s 6-4 loss to the AL East leaders only evened the series. While that may not seem concerning, the scoreline tells only part of the story. A broader look reveals a much […] The post “We Are Struggling” – Aaron Boone Sends Blunt Wake-Up Call After Yankees Script Ugly Franchise History appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The Houston Astros (46-48) didn’t get the start they hoped for from Tatsuya Imai, but they got a terrific performance from 6 relievers as they took the second game of this series 6-3 over the Washington Nationals (47-46) at Nationals Park. Imai only lasted 3.2 IP, impacted by a cut on the ring fighter of […]
The Dodgers sent catcher Chuckie Robinson outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. Los Angeles designated him for assignment yesterday. Robinson evidently accepted the minor league assignment, as he was back in the OKC lineup tonight. Robinson spent a couple weeks on L.A.’s big league roster. The Dodgers selected his contract when Will […]
Do you like offense? I hope you like offense. One day after scoring 15 runs against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Kansas City Royals topped that by scoring even more in a 16-12 win over the New York Mets. So much happened tonight that it would be a very long and very boring blog if I […]
Never in franchise history had the Mets scored 12 runs in a home game and lost. Well, there’s a first time for everything. And this 16-12 loss to the Royals at Citi Field had a lot of events never seen before. I attempt to describe them in the roughly 2,500 words below, but quite frankly, […]
The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Anaheim Angels scored three runs. The Rangers had two hits entering the seventh inning tonight. By the end of the game, they had scored eight runs on 11 hits. This is the magic of playing the Angels, something that had not yet shown itself to Texas all […]

Two of their four All-Star pitchers bookended a dominant night on the mound to pilot the Philadelphia Phillies (51-41) to a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds (41-49) in the the opening game of the series. The 18 strikeouts the Phillies’ staff collected were a season high, as they were for the Reds’ hitters who […]
Cleveland got on the board in 2nd inning, as Rhys Hoskins went down and got Taj Bradley’s fastball and hit it out of the park to center for a solo homer. That was one of only three hits allowed by Bradley all night, as well as the only Guardians run. The question became: Can the […]
The best and healthiest versions of Noah Schultz's minor league work featured a lot of efficient, economical strike-throwing. In that vein, a 33-pitch first inning to open up his second start since returning from the injured list, four free passes (three walks, one very painful-looking sinker to Wilyer Abreu's elbow), and 92 pitches to allow four runs over five frames in a loss to the 26th-best scoring offense in MLB was a disappointment. The post Red Sox 8, White Sox 1: An unfavorable lef...
After a day off on Monday, the Cincinnati Reds opened a crucial six-game homestand with their backs against the proverbial wall in this 2026 season. They stood at 41-48 and in last place in the National League’s Central division, and were about to welcome behemoths to town in the form of the Philadelphia Phillies and […]
