While the regular season began in late March this year, it is simple to think of it broken up into six one-month segments. So, while all teams now have made it through half their schedule, now that we're at the end of June, three of those six one-month segments are

TORONTO -- There was cautious optimism in the Yankees’ clubhouse when Juan Soto returned from having a series of X-rays taken, his swollen right hand having forced him out of the lineup just 20 minutes before the club’s 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. The results came

It's been a difficult couple of weeks for the Giants. They lost the most iconic player in the franchise's long and storied history, Willie Mays, when he passed away at the age of 93 on June 18. Ten days later, another iconic Giant, Orlando Cepeda, passed away at the age

Shohei Ohtani typically plays the hero for whatever team he's playing on, so he definitely knows one when he sees one. And there's no question he's fully aware that bat boy Javier Herrera saved the day on Wednesday. In the third inning of the Dodgers' 4-0 win over the White

TORONTO -- There’s no time left to find a spark. The Blue Jays need a flamethrower. Allow Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to do the honors. Guerrero drove in six runs and was a triple shy of the cycle in Saturday afternoon’s 9-3 win over the Yankees at Rogers Centre, extending a

BALTIMORE -- Heston Kjerstad had just popped in a fresh piece of bubble gum, decompressing after rounding the bases and taking a swig of water out of the Orioles’ homer hydration station. Then, the 25-year-old looked up at the big screen and saw his face as the sellout crowd at

SAN FRANCISCO -- Coming into the season, the Dodgers knew they had the starpower to outplay any team in the Majors. But what has proven to be even more deadly is their ability to consistently win by showing their overall depth. In a game that could have been lost at

ATLANTA -- Perhaps opposing teams should stop hitting leadoff homers against Paul Skenes. It usually doesn’t bode well for them the rest of Skenes’ afternoon. Skenes overcame his first-inning mistake to Jarred Kelenic -- and some general wildness early -- to toss six innings of one-run ball. It was the

It’s Pop Girl Summer! Are you ready for it? Teams from across the Minors are celebrating pop stars, friendship bracelets and mascots reclaiming ownership of their work. And some teams are in their ERA era. Fans of all levels can enjoy these specialty games, whether they're a Swiftie or have

PHOENIX -- When he was rehabbing from injury during the 2021 season, D-backs right-hander Zac Gallen made sure that he took care of what he needed to do from a physical standpoint. But looking back afterward, he realized that he didn’t focus enough on being mentally ready to pitch when

KANSAS CITY -- You could hear the screams for “Big Christmas” all the way down the hallway outside of the visiting clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium. Led by Austin Hedges, Jhonkensy Noel's teammates waited in the clubhouse for him to get back from his postgame interview on the field to celebrate

CHICAGO -- Luis Robert Jr. homered during an 11-3 victory for the White Sox over the Rockies on Saturday afternoon at Guaranteed Rate Field, extending the South Siders’ winning streak to three straight.

NEW YORK -- One of the talking points that was surrounding the Astros in the last week is how they’d become a little more aggressive at the plate, swinging too much and not seeing as many pitches per plate appearance as they would have liked. That wasn’t the case Saturday

ATLANTA -- Jarred Kelenic changed his batting stance in Spring Training, and he has made multiple adjustments over the months that have followed. But his most beneficial alteration seems to have been the change of scenery he experienced in December, when he was traded from the Mariners to the Braves.

ANAHEIM -- Angels superstar Mike Trout has started light baseball activities and said he’s getting closer to running on the field and hitting in the cages, which are the next steps in his recovery from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. Trout, speaking before Saturday’s walk-off

When MLB’s regular season gets past its midway point, it’s time for one of the great annual traditions to get underway. No, we’re not talking about the All-Star Game. Not the Home Run Derby either, or the Futures Game. We’re talking about where the best of the best leave everything

SEATTLE -- Byron Buxton was possibly the only person who could tell the switch had been flipped. On June 22, the 30-year-old went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Oakland in the first game of the Twins’ road trip. He was hitting .226 in June, with more K’s than hits. But

BOSTON -- Because of some quirks from a bygone era of scheduling, the Padres arrived in Boston this weekend with nearly 11 years separating them from their most recent appearance at Fenway Park. It didn’t take them long to get acquainted with the place. In two games, they’ve already done

MILWAUKEE -- Justin Steele carried his frustration with him off the diamond after the third inning on Saturday afternoon. Once the Cubs lefty arrived at the dugout steps, he stopped for a moment and shouted demonstratively before continuing on and heading down the tunnel. At that point in the afternoon,

ANAHEIM -- Veteran outfielder Kevin Pillar has been in the big leagues for 12 seasons and has seen what it takes to build a winning culture, especially during his time with the Blue Jays. Toronto was still building around a young core when Pillar broke into the Major Leagues before
