Red Sox News & Links: Sox reportedly shopping Connor Wong

Let’s hope that Garrett Whitlock is able to return to action when he’s eligible on June 9, because the Red Sox bullpen is dealing with a few injury issues. Jovani Moran has been placed on the IL with “a little inflammation on the elbow.” He’s been replaced on the roster by Alec Gamboa, who has […]

Phillies announcers question magic wand right before White Sox player crushes first career homer

A sequence during Saturday’s Philadelphia Phillies game against the Chicago White Sox resulted in hilarious timing on the NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast, but Phillies fans likely didn’t find it very funny. The NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast showed White Sox pitcher Mike Vasil waving a wand in Chicago’s dugout. “What is that thing?” NBC Sports Philadelphia…

What do the Cardinals want from Lars Nootbaar?

The St. Louis Cardinals and the fans at Busch Stadium welcomed Lars Nootbaar back into action this weekend as he made his season debut. I, personally, was more ready for his return than I expected this offseason, as I simply hoped for a healthy return and a quick trade out of St. Louis. As this […]

Should Andrew Painter make his next start?

Disappointing is probably the best way to categorize Andrew Painter’s season. No one really expected ace-hood from him straight out of the gate, but he has struggled this year. Like any other pitcher, he’s exchanged good starts with poor ones, but those poor ones are far too often. His last five starts have shown this […]

Do you remember the last Braves’ steal of home plate?

Yesterday was fun. The Braves won a game that Braxton Ashcraft started. Dom Smith hit a homer. Austin Riley chipped in with a double. Tyler Kinley pitched a scoreless eighth. And Mauricio Dubon stole home plate. It’s one of those “steal by association” ones, but stealing home can be difficult without doing that. So do […]

The Opener: Ashcraft, Naylor, Lewis

The Yankees officially selected Ali Sánchez‘s contract yesterday. Had the game not been rained out, Sánchez would have been the first right-handed hitting catcher to start for the Yankees since Jose Trevino in the 2024 World Series. Today’s lineup isn’t public yet, but Sánchez could still start, as the Red Sox are starting a lefty in […]

Rangers place catcher on injured list ahead of Guardians game

The Texas Rangers placed catcher Danny Jansen on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm strain ahead of Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians. The move was made retroactive to June 3, while veteran catcher Elias Diaz was signed on a major league contract to help fill the void behind the plate. Jansen, 31, […] The post Rangers place catcher on injured list ahead of Guardians game appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Mets shut down Jorge Polanco’s rehab assignment

The Mets have shut down Jorge Polanco’s rehab assignment, which lasted ten days and saw him make a total of 17 appearances across stops in Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse. The team announced that he’s returning to New York City for further evaluation of the Achilles bursitis that’s been affecting him since very early in […]

Dodgers notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Andy Pages, Will Smith

The Dodgers starting pitching has been nearly unhittable this week, and the trend continued on Saturday with Yoshinobu Yamamoto tossing a season-high eight innings against the Angels. Although Yamamoto couldn’t compare to Roki Sasaki’s 10 strikeouts from the game before, Yamamoto retired 22 hitters in a row and had a comfortable eight-run lead to work […]

This Week in Purple: Well, at least it was interesting

Last week was certainly a weird one as the Colorado Rockies kicked off the month of June. It started with the Rockies—fresh off of back-to-back wins and a series win against the San Francisco Giants—getting absolutely shellacked in the series finale. It got odder as the week progressed. The series opener with the Los Angeles […]

Sunday BP: Highlights of the Week

Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball draws to a close today, so it’s time to pick our favorite highlights of the week! If you know me, you know what I’m picking. I love a grand slam, if there’s a grand slam in the week I’m picking it. This week, Eric […]

Orioles minor league recap 6/7: Another homer for Creed Willems

Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (ATL) 6, Norfolk Tides 4 Christian Herberholz pitched four innings and allowed six runs, though just three were earned. The Tides made three errors in the game, including two in the three-run fifth inning. Once and future Oriole Dietrich Enns pitched 2.1 scoreless innings. They were winning until that inning. Creed Willems […]

Chicago Cubs news — Counsell, Swanson, Boyd, Hoyer

Today’s Reflections Following a game like Friday’s where the Cubs were errorless on the field while seven pitchers combined for an 19-hitter, it’s refreshing to start off a Cub Tracks with Matthew Boyd’s story. And with the lineup changes and trade ultimatums discussed, it will be good to change those boos into cheers once and […]

‘The Cardinal Countdown: 91 Days Until Kickoff.’

Cardinals History By The Numbers While  the January 1st, 1991 Fiesta Bowl victory over Alabama has been well documented, the Cards beatdown of the Tide (34-7) was a nationally recognized win for a program viewed to be on the rise. One of the reasons was due to the quarterback play of Browning Nagle, who threw […]
