Doubleheaders can be tough on players during a 162-game season, but don't tell Jarren Duran that. Duran energized the Red Sox with a straight steal of home in the third inning of Boston's nightcap with the Guardians at Progressive Field on Saturday night, extending his club's lead to 6-0. It

There are plenty of things that can exceed 104 mph. Cars, trains, airplanes ... even wind. A pitch, however, generally isn't one of those -- unless you're Raimon Gomez. The Mets right-hander came out blazing in the first inning at Clover Park, reaching triple digits with his heater on 11

ST. LOUIS -- Not long after pulling his hands in and using the quick-twitch muscles to turn on a 97.8 mph fastball for the kind of pulsating home run that made him once again resemble the Nolan Arenado of old -- instead of an older Arenado who struggled a year

Far be it from us to pretend that Aaron Judge hasn’t been the recipient of enough positive media coverage over the last half-decade – you may have noticed the video game cover and the pair of American League Most Valuable Player Awards – but there’s also a danger in his

NEW YORK – Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke to the media after the Yankees announced their game with the Blue Jays on Saturday would be postponed, and he has not decided if Devin Williams will remain as the team’s closer. On Friday against the Blue Jays, Williams was unable to

SEATTLE -- Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert is headed to the 15-day injured list, one day after he abruptly exited his start on Friday night at T-Mobile Park. But the 2024 All-Star appears to have avoided something far more severe, at least via the initial prognosis released by the club

SAN DIEGO -- The Rays are getting some reinforcements to their depleted outfield. Outfielder Travis Jankowski was acquired in a trade with the White Sox on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations and selected to the active roster. In a pair of corresponding moves, infielder Coco Montes was optioned to

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,

WASHINGTON -- It only took five at-bats for Francisco Alvarez to make his presence back in the Mets’ lineup known. In New York’s 2-0 win at Nationals Park -- Alvarez’s second game back after being out since the end of Spring Training (March 24), when he suffered a left hamate

SAN FRANCISCO -- Even in retirement, Brandon Crawford has been keeping a close eye on the Giants, especially now that his hometown team is being run by his close friend and former teammate Buster Posey.

CHICAGO -- The Phillies believe in their offense, even if it has been in a bit of a rut lately. Since starting the year 7-2, Philadelphia had fallen to .500 for the first time all season with Friday’s 4-0 loss. Slugging had been an issue, as between April 8 (the

Chase Burns’ fastball was humming in his Double-A debut for the Chattanooga Lookouts on Saturday. The Reds’ No. 1 prospect (MLB No. 24) threw more than 10 pitches that exceeded the 100-mph mark against the Braves' Columbus Clingstones (per the ballpark's unofficial radar gun readings), and he did so in

ST. LOUIS -- Walt Jocketty, the Cardinals architect who lured manager Tony La Russa to St. Louis and oversaw the drafting of Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina to pave the way for seven division titles and a 2006 World Series crown, died Friday, the Cardinals announced in a statement. Jocketty,

DETROIT -- Riley Greene has taken steps to limit the wear and tear on his body in the outfield, such as a more subtle jump on his feet before the ball is hit. He has invested in tools to help his body recover after games, and he has changed his

LOS ANGELES -- The eyes of the baseball world were on Dodger Stadium on Friday night, where two of the game’s premier arms were going up against each other. And Paul Skenes, for his part, more than lived up to the hype in outmatching Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Skenes was

MINNEAPOLIS -- Less than 24 hours after Luke Keaschall suffered a nondisplaced fracture of his right forearm, the Twins acquired utility man Kody Clemens from the Phillies in exchange for cash considerations on Saturday morning. Clemens, who is the son of Roger Clemens, was designated for assignment by Philadelphia on

MINNEAPOLIS -- While Minnesota’s winter sports teams -- the NBA’s Timberwolves and the NHL’s Wild -- are generating excitement with their performance in their respective league's playoffs, it might be easy to overlook the Twins. But after Saturday’s 5-1 victory over the Angels at Target Field, the Twins are 4-1

MINNEAPOLIS -- Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel fouled a ball off his right knee that caused him to leave Saturday afternoon's 5-1 loss against the Twins at Target Field in the fourth inning. Facing right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson, Schanuel fouled off a 1-2 curveball directly into his right knee. He

DENVER – If the Reds’ offense went into the first full month of the season like a lamb, it’s going out of April like a lion. Questions about run support and lack of production have faded. The addition of Austin Hays is a big reason. Two home runs by Hays

WEST SACRAMENTO – The White Sox overall record reads 7-20 following a decisive 10-3 victory over the Athletics Saturday afternoon at Sutter Health Park.

CLEVELAND -- The entrance video played on Progressive Field’s Jumbotron above the left-field bleachers on Saturday, as Emmanuel Clase jogged in from the Guardians’ bullpen. It was a familiar scene with one notable difference. Clase’s appearance in the Guardians’ 5-4 win over the Red Sox in Game 1 of Saturday's

DETROIT -- The O's outfield depth took a hit on Saturday, as outfielder Tyler O'Neill was placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Thursday) with neck inflammation. “It’s a neck soreness kind of deal,” manager Brandon Hyde said before Game 1 of Baltimore's doubleheader against the Tigers at Comerica

The Yankees announced that Saturday's game against the Blue Jays will not be played due to the forecast of sustained inclement weather. The teams will make up the game as the second game of a single-admission doubleheader on Sunday at Yankee Stadium, which will begin at 1:35 p.m. ET. The

CLEVELAND -- Alex Cora’s 1,000th game as the Red Sox's manager had a little bit of everything. It started with a barrage of rain on Friday that forced a doubleheader on Saturday -- and forced Cora to wait 18 hours to achieve his milestone. And while it came in the

ST. LOUIS -- Daz Cameron has fond memories of the Brewers organization as a kid. “I was out there fielding and shagging,” Cameron said. “Yeah, I can remember like it was yesterday.” Cameron -- the son of former Brewers outfielder Mike Cameron -- hopes to make more memories as a
