NY Daily News | Gary Phillips: Since being called up again on June 5th, outfielder Spencer Jones has given the Yankees a strong .318/.423/.636 line with a 193 wRC+ in 26 plate appearances. His playing time against lefties, however, has been fairly limited. It’s understandable, since he struggled to the tune of a .663 OPS […]
The Washington Nationals released right-handed pitcher Julian Fernandez Wednesday after he cleared waivers, following his designation for assignment last week and removal from the 40-man roster.

One of the most frustrating features of the 2026 Mariners has been their inconsistency. They’ll have a great homestand just to muddle through a poor road trip; work a hard-fought series win only to drop the next two; and most frustratingly, follow up a fun, vibes-cleansing win like last night’s game with a real stinker […]

Above only the Rockies in the National League, the Giants are seemingly beginning preparation to sell at the deadline. The early focus has been on impending free agents Luis Arraez and Robbie Ray — as well as the team’s openness to shedding the Rafael Devers, Willy Adames and Matt Chapman contracts. Those are all self-explanatory. Arraez is an […]

In baseball, we often like to talk about “flushing” a bad game and mentally preparing for the next one – usually the very next day – as one of several stock phrases to describe the ability to move past failure and try to visualize the next success. It’s a particularly appropriate phenomenon in baseball when […]
The Athletics dropped their final game of their mid-week series against the Pirates on Wednesday evening, falling to Pittsburgh 12-4. Nothing went right tonight as the A’s were losing big from the get-go, and never really mounted any sort of comeback attempt. The loss drops them to 36-38 but on the bright side the division-leading […]
If you’re an eagle-eyed consumer of random Orioles stats, you might have seen that the Orioles are 7-3 on Wednesdays, so this game was pretty much in the bag before a pitch was thrown. Or was it that incredibly involved handshake Pete Alonso and Adley Rutschman tried out in the dugout? Or was it … […]

This […] The post Blue Jays’ perfect trade offer for Nationals’ CJ Abrams appeared first on ClutchPoints .
As Ha-Seong Kim has been perhaps the worst player to play as much as he has in baseball this season, Walt Weiss made a number of changes including Matt Olson playing right field to avoid Kim hitting in the eighth. Kim’s performance and Weiss’ clear lack of faith in the Korean makes it fair to […]
For a while now, Carson Whisenhunt has been targeted as a key part of San Francisco’s second-half rotation. It’s been quite a long time since anyone who isn’t employed by the Giants thought the team could make a competitive run this year, and as the season becomes more and more fleshed out — and the […]
Major League Baseball is making its biggest Home Run Derby format adjustment since 2015, with the league set to eliminate the timed structure and return to a swing-based system for the 2026 competition in Philadelphia, Evan Drellich and Johnny Flores Jr. of The Athletic reported Wednesday. Participants will no longer race against a clock. Instead, […] The post MLB Home Run Derby gets major rule change in 2026 appeared first on ClutchPoints .

When the Red Sox fall down by two runs or more in a game this season, it’s like a death sentence. The offense is so inept, it can’t dig myself out of a small hole and subsequently, they’re 0-31 this season.
