NEW YORK -- As the Reds faced the Yankees in the first inning of their series finale on Thursday, center fielder Will Benson was willing to give up his body to rob Juan Soto of a hit, possibly a home run. Soto, the Yankees’ superstar, tattooed a first-pitch fastball from

The southpaw is surging across MLB. Last season, there was a bit of a lull for left-handers, with only one (the Cubs’ Justin Steele) finishing among the top 10 in FanGraphs’ version of pitcher WAR. While then-Padres lefty Blake Snell did take NL Cy Young honors, only two of his

As of July 2, the league-average ERA for a starting rotation was 4.09, a figure lower than those of two division-leading clubs and nine Wild Card hopefuls. In other words, plenty of teams will spend the next four weeks searching for starting pitching, and the Brewers got a jump on

A day after being removed after five innings and 78 pitches for what was deemed at the time a minor lat strain, Pirates rookie sensation Jared Jones was placed on the 15-day injured list on Thursday. Outfielder Josh Palacios was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. Jones, who

WASHINGTON -- It had been two seasons since a Nationals pitcher went deeper than seven innings in a game. On Thursday, second-year starter Jake Irvin delivered eight scoreless frames with just one hit in the Nationals’ 1-0 win over the Mets. He also struck out eight and allowed only one

NEW YORK -- When Reds reliever Fernando Cruz summed up his own feelings on Wednesday night, he could have been talking about the vibe the entire team felt. “The best feeling in the world -- shutting down the Yankees," Cruz said as he dressed at his locker following a tight,

CHICAGO -- Alec Bohm's baseball journey zipped through his mind on Wednesday. The high school baseball games. The college ones. The 180 games he played in the Minor Leagues, including the 14 he played late in 2021 when the Phillies optioned him to Triple-A. There was the “I hate this

TORONTO -- Yordan Alvarez gave his manager a thumbs up, picked up his bat and got back to mashing. Things got a bit scary in the first inning of the Astros’ 9-2 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday night, when Alvarez twisted his left ankle after grounding a ball

ATLANTA -- Chris Sale seems destined to gain an All-Star selection. The only question seems to be, could the rejuvenated Braves hurler serve as the National League’s starting pitcher at this year’s Midsummer Classic? Sale, who started three straight All-Star Games for the American League in 2016 with the White

KANSAS CITY -- When Taylor Walls barreled a 95 mph sinker from Royals closer James McArthur, way out to center field in the ninth inning Wednesday night, a wave of emotions went through the minds of every single person -- on and off the field -- watching it fly for

LOS ANGELES -- Dodger Stadium can be an intimidating place for visiting players. In MLB’s largest ballpark by capacity, opponents often note just how loud it can get as fans cheer on the perennial NL West leaders. Try telling that to Christian Walker. Walker homered twice in the D-backs’ 12-4

WASHINGTON -- James Wood checked the boxes for three Major League firsts on Wednesday against the Mets. Run scored, RBI, stolen base -- he did it all in the Nationals’ 7-5 win at Nationals Park. Moving up to the No. 3 spot in his third career game, Wood, the No.

DENVER -- The Brewers, leading the National League Central every day since the start of May despite a slew of injuries to starting pitchers, made another move Wednesday to support that group when they acquired right-hander Aaron Civale in a trade with the Rays for infield prospect Gregory Barrios, who

The 2024 MLB All-Star Game in Arlington will have a distinctive Texas flair, and that includes the players' uniforms.

SEATTLE -- Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson made the early headlines Wednesday for Baltimore upon being named All-Star Game starters for the first time in their careers.

DENVER -- For all the ways in which technology has transformed pitching into a science, sometimes you’re reminded that it’s still an art. That was the case Wednesday for steady Brewers starter Colin Rea, who grew up on a farm in Iowa but looked perfectly comfortable at high altitude while

MIAMI -- The Red Sox fans cluttered behind the first-base dugout at loanDepot park rose to their feet in the seventh inning, not to watch a ball soar over the fence, but to applaud their starting pitcher. If you had asked Brayan Bello a week ago, it’s unlikely he could

PITTSBURGH -- Just like his walkout song by Natasha Bedingfield proclaims, the rest of Jared Jones’ 2024 is still unwritten. Jones had his last start skipped last Friday in Atlanta, a move that was not at all reflective of how the 22-year-old stud has performed, but rather to manage his

MINNEAPOLIS -- It wasn’t the final score he was hoping for. But Brooks Lee was still pretty happy with his MLB debut. The Twins called up their second-ranked prospect on Wednesday and he got right to work -- logging his first two career hits and an RBI in the Twins'
