The Texas Rangers have placed righthanded pitcher Carter Baumler on the injured list with a right intercostal strain, the team announced today. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled righthanded pitcher Luis Curvelo. Baumler, a Rule 5 pick from the Baltimore Orioles, seemed destined to have an injured list trip […]

Sykora is "a real one." Lafrenière is trending toward staying. And someone floated Brady Tkachuk again. Here's this week in Rangers media.
It is well known that Newcastle United will bring in some offensive reinforcements next summer and that scouting is already underway in Tyneside. The latest whispers, coming from talkSPORT’s Lee Davey, point toward a Newcastle interest in Chelsea center-forward Liam Delap as a potential target for the summer transfer window. The outlet states that Delap […]
The Nats pitching staff has been up and down to start the season, with more downs lately. However, one guy who has been impressing me lately is Gus Varland. He is not a well known name, and he has bounced around, but I have liked what I have seen from the 29 year old. I […]
Hard to be mad when Gabe Perreault goes off for a hat trick. But the Rangers keep winning themselves out of good lottery positioning.

The Cincinnati Reds powered their way to victory on Friday in the series opener against the Texas Rangers, with 2-run blasts by Spencer Steer and Tyler Stephenson fueling the 5-3 victory. On Saturday, it was starting pitcher Rhett Lowder’s excellence paired with some timely bucket brigade of singles that led to Cincinnati’s 2-0 win. On […]
Today’s roster moves: Here I had not remembered a traditional, non-split doubleheader on the road for the Cubs in recent years. The last such doubleheader at Wrigley Field was Thursday, Aug. 3, 2006 vs. the Diamondbacks. So, naturally, I asked BCB’s JohnW53 if he knew. Of course he did! Here’s the answer. The Cubs have […]
The Yankees’ road to the postseason is clear. They either get a full, healthy, good season from Aaron Judge, in which case they should skate in, or they don’t, in which case things get a lot darker. It isn’t just local radio hosts saying that the Yankees are relying heavily on Judge; in his writeup […]
Though the Atlanta Braves came up a few runs short for the third win against the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday, at least we’ve seen consistent quality starts from Bryce Elder to propel us to today’s series ending before the Braves head to Anaheim to face the Angels. Let’s look at today’s pitchers. Martín Pérez has gotten […]

Lambert started for Sugar Land and was solid allowing 1 run over 5 innings. Knorr allowed […]
Team News Michael Soroka gives Diamondbacks another strong impression in win over Braves “I think we fell behind a little more than we would have liked, but (catcher Gabriel Moreno) and I made some good decisions with some pitches late in counts, good pitches with guys in scoring position, let the defense work and got the win,” […]
Yesterday’s game saw this San Diego Padres club do something it hasn’t shown yet this season: fight. After having a 2-1 lead over the Boston Red Sox for most of the game (in large part due to Randy Vásquez’s sheer force of will), Adrian Morejon came in to pitch the eighth inning. He had hoped […]
2025 2nd rounder A.J. Russell made his professional debut for Hickory, striking out three in two perfect innings. Dewar Tovar doubled. Marcos Torres walked, tripled and stole a base. Paulino Santana was 3 for 4 with a stolen base. Josh Springer was 1 for 2 with a pair of walks. Hickory box score Hub City […]
Yes, I know that for any Cubs fan, the words “Cade Horton to injured list” in a headline gives feelings of dread. But here we are. Horton was placed on the injured list today, the move retroactive to Saturday. For pitchers, the IL is 15 days. The “fortunate” thing, if there is one regarding this […]
The early years of the Yankees’ franchise famously weren’t great until they acquired a certain Babe Ruth. There were some good seasons here and there, occasional pennant chases, and a few superb individual seasons. They just never got to the World Series or brought home a title until Ruth began donning the pinstripes in the […]
The Red Sox have taken some flak for their rocky start in this young season, and I’m about to pile on. It’s about the pelvic thrust hit celebration. I’ll say up front that I don’t care about being “family friendly” or anything like that. Here are my issues with it. It’s not okay with female […]
The Detroit Tigers have opened up their 2026 home schedule with a pair of wins against the St. Louis Cardinals and are looking to finish off the sweep on Sunday night in front of a national TV audience. Originally, Justin Verlander was supposed to make his Comerica Park debut in the finale of the three-game […]
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers fell to the Cincinnati Reds yesterday by a score of 2-0. Kumar Rocker impressed in his season debut. Jeff Wilson writes that Kumar Rocker took a step forward and the offense took a step back. Skip Schumaker says that Evan Carter will keep getting chances against lefthanded pitchers. Jake […]
Saturday in the Dodgers minors saw a stellar combined pitching effort in Tulsa, while River Ryan pitched in his first game that counted in 602 days in Las Vegas. But like most days since the minor league season started, James Tibbs III stole the spotlight. Player of the day James Tibbs III has been hitting […]
Better late than never – that is what they say. For the San Diego Padres, that statement rang true when Fernando Tatis Jr., who had four strikeouts in the game, lined a two-out double to center field in the top of the ninth inning off Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman. Ramon Laureano, who had […]
CJ Abrams is off to a hot start, and has homered for three straight games. Hot starts are nothing new for Abrams. The last couple years he has come into seasons really locked in. This year is no different. Hopefully Abrams can show more consistency this year, and I am bullish on that. It is […]
