HOUSTON -- Padres star Luis Arraez was taken to Houston Methodist Hospital on Sunday night after colliding with Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubón at first base on the second play of the game at Daikin Park. The Padres released a statement saying he was being evaluated further and was “stable,

TAMPA -- Yankees left-handed ace Max Fried finished what appeared to be his seventh hitless inning against the Rays on Sunday at George M. Steinbrenner Field. But as he headed out to the mound for the bottom of the eighth, his no-hitter was over. Between the half-inning break, official scorer

BALTIMORE -- On a day when the Reds enjoyed an offensive eruption not seen in a generation, a defensive play perhaps stood out most. Of course, it came from none other than All-Star shortstop Elly De La Cruz. Actually, the full range of De La Cruz's ability was on display

ATLANTA -- Ronald Acuña Jr. is at least a couple weeks away from returning from left knee surgery. But the 2023 National League MVP still created headlines on Sunday with a since-deleted social media post that was critical of Braves manager Brian Snitker. “I heard about it as I was

MILWAUKEE -- The Kentucky Derby isn’t for another couple of weeks, but once the Brewers got runners on base Sunday afternoon at American Family Field, they were the ones off to the races.

ARLINGTON -- Shohei Ohtani is back from paternity leave, and the Dodgers are wondering what "dad strength" could possibly look like for someone who already packs as big a punch as Ohtani does. Ohtani was reinstated from the paternity list and back in the leadoff spot in Sunday's 1-0 win

NEW YORK -- Much like the weather in New York, Juan Soto is beginning to heat up. Soto had a season-high three RBIs to help the Mets to a sweep of the Cardinals with a 7-4 victory on a sunny, mild Sunday afternoon at Citi Field.

TORONTO -- Lives change quickly in baseball. Saturday night, Paxton Schultz got called into the manager’s office at Triple-A Buffalo and was told to hop in a car Sunday morning. He was headed to Toronto with Dillon Tate, but Schultz was only on the taxi squad for now. When the

TAMPA – In Max Fried's mind, the clean eighth-inning single that Jake Mangum laced into the outfield represented the end of his bid for a no-hitter. The Yankees left-hander was unaware that a scoring change had taken place just a few minutes prior, converting what had initially been ruled a

DENVER -- Rockies designated hitter Kris Bryant was sick and tired of his chronic back injury -- officially lumbar degenerative disc disease. He was understandably tired of the debilitating pain -- sometimes arriving a couple days apart, sometimes arriving mid-game. Bryant, placed on the 10-day injured list last Monday and

ATLANTA -- Having to answer questions about Ronald Acuña Jr.’s social media post reminded Braves manager Brian Snitker there is no such thing as a perfect weekend in the baseball world. But even with the distraction, Snitker and his players were feeling good after completing a three-game sweep with a

ANAHEIM -- With the way the Angels had been scuffling offensively for more than a week, a comeback certainly didn’t appear likely being down three runs in the ninth inning.

ARLINGTON -- There was an unwelcome feeling of déjà vu when Tyler Glasnow exited Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rangers after throwing one pitch in the fifth inning. But the Dodgers later announced that the 31-year-old right-hander was removed due to lower leg cramps, an issue that should not prevent

PHILADELPHIA -- Moments after Javier Sanoja's career day in Philadelphia, the Marlins utility man greeted two Phillies fans outside the visitors’ clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park. Joshua Kirsch, donning a pinstriped Trea Turner jersey, was ready for a potential home-run ball to come his direction as he watched Sunday afternoon’s

CHICAGO -- These last three days in the Windy City felt less like a series for the Arizona Diamondbacks and instead a three-part episode of “Survivor: Chicago.” Fresh off a three-game sweep of the Marlins in sunny Miami, the Diamondbacks came to Chicago and were greeted by a devastating loss

When evaluating the strength of an MLB division, there are multiple routes you can take. You can, for example, simply count the number of playoff teams. Or, perhaps, you compare it to the other five divisions to see how it stacks up by total wins or combined OPS. But what

PITTSBURGH -- The Guardians’ second road trip of the season went much better than the first. The Guardians finished off a three-game sweep of the Pirates on Sunday with a 5-4 win in 10 innings. Cleveland went 4-2 on its road trip through Baltimore and Pittsburgh, after going 3-6 on

MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers have had to dip deep into their rotation depth early in the season -- so much so that, entering Sunday, they had already used eight different arms to start their first 21 games.

DETROIT -- Music blared out of the visiting clubhouse at Comerica Park, and the Royals were all smiles as they packed up their stuff to finally head home Sunday afternoon.

DETROIT -- The Tigers had the stage set for potential walk-off heroics Sunday after Tyler Holton struck out Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. to end the top of the ninth inning. Detroit had a tie game, a taxed Royals bullpen and the top of their order coming up following Javier

The path from top prospect to legitimate big leaguer isn’t always linear. Sure, there are plenty of examples of top prospects who immediately became MLB stars. We’re talking about the likes of Juan Soto, Paul Skenes and Bryce Harper. More often than not, though, it can take players years before

TORONTO -- The Mariners rolled to what was maybe their most dominant win of the young season on Sunday afternoon, at least in the context of striking so early, tacking on late and that it was on the road. With an 8-3 decision over the Blue Jays, Seattle has now

BOSTON -- There were a few extra minutes built in between the end of a come-from-behind 8-4 victory for the White Sox over the Red Sox on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park and the beginning of starting pitcher Sean Burke's postgame session with the media.

Blue Jays pitcher José Berríos accused Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh of relaying pitch types to Raleigh’s Seattle teammates from second base during Saturday’s game at Rogers Centre -- an allegation Raleigh denies. “They thought I was relaying,” Raleigh told MLB.com’s Daniel Kramer after the Mariners’ 8-4 win in 12 innings.

Reinforcements are waiting in the wings for the first-place Mets. Jeff McNeil (right oblique strain) and Francisco Alvarez (fractured left hamate bone) each continued their respective rehab assignments on April 20 with Double-A Binghamton. McNeil, batting leadoff and brandishing a “Torpedo” bat, homered for the second consecutive day. He finished
