We're now about a week-and-a-half removed from Opening Day. Some teams are off to hot starts, some off to the exact opposite, and it's still a little too early to draw too many big conclusions. But that doesn't mean we can't take a snapshot of where things stand. It's time

SAN FRANCISCO -- Over their first nine games of the season, the Giants have shown that their offense can beat you in multiple ways. They can hit the ball out of the ballpark. They can get timely hits. They can play some small ball. On Sunday, they showed that they’re

SAN FRANCISCO -- There were sun-soaked skies throughout the weekend at Oracle Park, yet for the Mariners, when it rained, it poured. Seattle was swept by San Francisco in a 5-4 walk-off loss in the bottom of the ninth inning on Sunday afternoon, but far more concerning was that Victor

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies confirmed what they already knew before they played the Dodgers this weekend at Citizens Bank Park. They’re a good team, too.

The concept of the "Yes Day" can often strike fear in parents, an occasion in which they agree (usually within reason) to their children's requests. Can we watch cartoons at breakfast? Sure. How about ice cream for dinner? Why not. Can Daddy hit a home run in a Major League

DENVER -- With the first pitch of the first inning -- of arguably the day that the Rockies began to make the painful last few seasons worthwhile -- Chase Dollander set the tone for what the club hopes is its pitching future.

PITTSBURGH – Becoming a food influencer was probably not on Austin Wells’ list of goals for the season. But the Yankees’ catcher flexed his versatility this past weekend, launching an Instagram account dedicated to reviewing breakfast burritos: @wells.ranked.burritos.

Early-season baseball can, believe it or not, tell us a lot about what might happen in October. Four of the six first-place teams on April 7, 2024, went on to the postseason, along with four second-place teams. April baseball – like any part of the season – can also give

Mariners starter Logan Gilbert seems poised to continue his rise in 2025, with the help of a pitch built to drop. No pitcher who faced at least 400 batters last season was tougher to reach base against than Gilbert (.235 OBP), a fact made even more impressive when you consider

MINNEAPOLIS -- Quitting must not be in a Houstonian’s DNA.

BOSTON -- For the last three years, the Red Sox ran into an oddity that flew in the face of much of their history. They stopped hitting and winning consistently at Fenway Park. A Boston team that didn’t hammer the Green Monster with regularity? It was a strange phenomenon. And

PHILADELPHIA -- Starter Blake Snell was placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation ahead of Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The Dodgers recalled righty Matt Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City as the corresponding move. Per manager Dave Roberts, Snell began throwing a

A new season is upon us, and MLB.TV – the best way to watch every out-of-market game all season long – has never been better. That’s because MLB.TV is now giving you even more baseball with the addition of 24/7 access to MLB Network (available in U.S. only). Here is

PITTSBURGH – Andrew Heaney thought he and Joey Bart had the right game plan going into Sunday’s finale against the Yankees, but he didn’t make good two-strike pitches in the first. The Yankees would capitalize with an early run in that first frame, which inspired Heaney to make a change.

SAN FRANCISCO -- One of the most entertaining subplots of this weekend’s series between the Giants and Mariners? The back-and-forth friendly rivalry between San Francisco shortstop Willy Adames and Seattle center fielder Julio Rodríguez.

CHICAGO -- The bizarre finish to a bizarre first inning at Wrigley Field on Sunday afternoon: Two consecutive run-scoring balks. Padres right-hander Logan Gillaspie -- called up Sunday morning before San Diego’s 8-7 victory over the Cubs -- committed a pair of infractions that led to balks with catcher Carson

ARLINGTON -- Jonah Heim delivered the fifth walk-off hit of his career on Sunday at Globe Life Field, but the talk of the clubhouse postgame was of his stolen base in the seventh inning after reaching via an error. “Oh my gosh, that was so random,” utilityman Josh Smith joked.

NEW YORK -- The bullpen was impeccable once again and helped the Mets edge the Blue Jays, 2-1, at Citi Field on Sunday afternoon. New York swept the three-game series, but David Peterson put a scare into the team. He started the game for New York, but didn’t have the

ANAHEIM -- Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe made history Sunday afternoon. O’Hoppe has been off to a blistering start offensively and became the first catcher in club history to homer in four straight games with a solo blast in the second inning of a 6-2 win over the Guardians at Angel

We’re more than a week into the regular season and plenty of storylines and stats have already grabbed our attention. While we’re dealing with small samples, that doesn’t mean there aren’t interesting trends and developments that have taken place. With that in mind, we asked seven of our writers about

DETROIT -- The Tigers have been pondering a basketball-themed homer celebration in honor of the neighboring Pistons’ return to the NBA Playoffs. On Sunday, they didn’t clear the fences, but they pulled off a comeback the 1990s Bad Boys Pistons could appreciate: Detroit beat a Chicago closer named Jordan in

With every affiliate level in action, the first full-schedule Sunday of the Minor League season was filled with noisy hits, dominant starts and dramatic finishes keyed by top prospects. Here are the performances that stood out as Opening Weekend for Double-A, High-A and Single-A wrapped up:

PHILADELPHIA -- Teoscar Hernández was a welcome break in the clouds for his team on a drizzly afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. But the respite he provided was fleeting, as the Dodgers narrowly dropped their first series of the season with an 8-7 loss to the Phillies on Sunday. Hernández

PHILADELPHIA -- No. 1 prospect Andrew Painter is taking the next step toward a potential midsummer promotion to the big leagues.
