MINNEAPOLIS -- It wasn’t exactly how Shane Smith imagined earning his first Major League victory, but he wasn’t complaining. Smith gave up four hits and walked one over five innings on Thursday as the White Sox beat the Twins, 3-0, in a game shortened to seven innings due to rain.

A number of Top 100 prospects proved worthy of their rankings at the plate and on the mound, while one ended a game with a memorable moment ... and a bat flip. Andrew Painter took another positive step forward on his path back from Tommy John surgery while an unranked

Could the AL East have five teams finish .500 or better? Is the NL East a two-way tussle between the Mets and Phillies or will the Braves find a way to make it a three-legged race? And in the NL West, the Dodgers are the favorites to win the division,

When discussing the fastest prospects (and frankly, all players) in baseball, there’s the Rays’ Chandler Simpson and then there’s everyone else. Now in the big leagues, Simpson has led scouts to say that he should get at least a 90 run grade on the 20-to-80 scouting scale. Watching him do

MINNEAPOLIS -- Any manager would tell you he’d love to send his starting pitcher to the mound and then sit back and watch him deal for nine innings. But most managers don’t have that luxury. That’s why handling relievers is such a big part of the game. And Will Venable

The Nationals own the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 Draft, which comes with a record assigned value. But the Mariners, who jumped from No. 15 to No. 3 in the Draft Lottery, own the largest overall bonus pool. MLB released the slot values and bonus pools to teams

Although Mariners teenager Felnin Celesten and Red Sox slugger Marcelo Mayer flashed their potent offensive abilities with homers and multihit games, some of the best work of the day was done on the mound. A trio of hurlers, including Top 100 prospects Hagen Smith and Chase Petty, combined for 24

MINNEAPOLIS -- Target Field has been a house of horrors for the White Sox lately. But on Tuesday they put a big scare into the Twins before falling just short. Byron Buxton’s diving catch of Andrew Benintendi’s drive into right-center field was the final out of another frustrating night for

BOSTON -- White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth never hit after entering Sunday’s comeback victory over the Red Sox as a defensive replacement at shortstop in the eighth inning. It’s probably a good thing since Meidroth, who was scratched from the starting lineup hours earlier, couldn’t really swing the bat due

Every player wants to get off to a hot start. But for those debuting with new clubs, making a strong first impression feels a little more important.

The balls were rising out of the park Sunday. The Triple-A Brewers and White Sox affiliates combined for 13 home runs in a 14-11 win for Nashville at Truist Field. The Sounds and the Charlotte Knights tallied the most long balls in a single game at any level this season,

BOSTON -- The White Sox placed left-handed pitcher Martín Pérez on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with left elbow inflammation and recalled left-hander Jared Shuster from Triple-A Charlotte.
