Major League Baseball, its clubs and other partners, and the Jackie Robinson Foundation are once again working together to honor the legacy of the Dodgers icon throughout Jackie Robinson Day on Tuesday. The tributes will be most prominent on the field. All MLB players and coaching staff will continue the

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres haven’t merely won every game they’ve played at Petco Park this season. They’ve won resoundingly. Through 11 home games, their total margin of victory is 47 runs. They’ve held a lead after 75% percent of the home innings they’ve played. They’ve dominated. Which made the

PHILADELPHIA -- Bryce Harper is always bringing something new to the field, whether it’s cleats, bats, arm sleeves or headbands. He carried a special blue bat into the batter’s box in the first inning of Monday night's 10-4 loss to the Giants at Citizens Bank Park. It was how he

LOS ANGELES -- Following a recent stretch of disjointed baseball, the Dodgers seemed much more in sync as they beat the Rockies, 5-3, on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. L.A. wasn't quite back at full strength, as Freddie Freeman was back after a day off while Teoscar Hernández sat out

PITTSBURGH -- The Monday night matchup at PNC Park had been a long time in the making. Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews, the first college teammates to be selected No. 1 and No. 2 overall in the MLB Draft, faced off in a Major League game for the first time

TAMPA -- The first pitch the Rays' lineup saw on Monday night was a 93.3 mph sinker from Tanner Houck. Yandy Díaz smashed it a projected 415 feet to center field. Talk about a sign of things to come.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The most remarkable part of Pete Alonso’s start to the season is not the fact that he’s bashing homers with regularity, nor that he’s hanging around the National League leaderboards in RBIs and slugging, nor even that he’s played a sound defensive first base. It’s that Alonso is

Some revolutions are big from the very start. When Jackie Robinson signed on the dotted line at Branch Rickey’s office on Montague Street in Brooklyn on August 28, 1945, there was no going back. It was either going to be a spectacular success, or a crushing setback. But Rickey believed

RJ Austin wasn't just inspired by Jackie Robinson, he studied everything about him. Austin would watch highlights of Robinson throughout his childhood growing up in Atlanta, combing through as many clips as he could find, absorbing everything he could from the grainy, black-and-white video footage. It immediately stuck out to

MILWAUKEE -- With the bases loaded, two outs in the bottom of the sixth and an even 2-2 count Monday night, Tarik Skubal reared back with a four-seamer and launched it toward home plate. That 99.6 mph fastball zoomed past swinging Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who ended a perfect-game

TORONTO -- If the Braves are to find their rhythm, they’ll need their trusted conductors. That’s what made Monday night’s 8-4 win over the Blue Jays so encouraging. Behind Austin Riley’s two-homer, five-RBI game, Atlanta found its spark, something to build on after a couple of weeks of scattered flashes.

There’s an Angel at the top of the Wins Above Replacement leaderboard, but it might not be the player you expect. Doing his best Mike Trout impression -- or is it actually an Aaron Judge impression? More on that below -- Kyren Paris has taken baseball by storm, hitting an

MINNEAPOLIS -- Most any child who’s played backyard Wiffle ball has had the experience of having a ball thrown at them on the basepaths. Mark Vientos just wasn’t expecting it in the middle of a Major League Baseball game.

NEW YORK -- The Yankees’ victory formula has followed a classic model thus far: when they can hit homers in bunches, more often than not, they’re shaking hands at the end of the night. Trent Grisham, Ben Rice and Austin Wells all cracked fifth-inning drives into the seats as the

PHILADELPHIA -- One of the more impressive parts of the Giants’ hot start is that they’ve managed to win games even with an offense that hasn’t been firing on all cylinders.

NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge recalls watching from home while Mike Trout led Team USA onto the field in the most recent World Baseball Classic finals, proudly carrying a flagpole flying the stars and stripes across his right shoulder. That responsibility of representing both a roster and a country now

ST. LOUIS -- No at-bat better epitomized the Cardinals’ plate approach and successful stubbornness more than the one catcher Pedro Pagés took in the bottom of the fourth inning as his squad was throttling All-Star left-hander Framber Valdez and the Astros on Monday night. Pagés’ gritty at-bat -- and several

With one of the most well-known and popular signature concession items in baseball highlighting their ballpark menu, the Dodger Stadium food masterminds could easily rest on the success of the Dodger Dog. Instead, they continue to reinvent and innovate, with several new offerings available at Chavez Ravine this season. Thanks

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Mets’ fears regarding Jose Siri's left leg were realized on Monday, when an MRI revealed a fracture in his tibia. The team does not yet have a clear timeline on how long Siri will be sidelined, manager Carlos Mendoza said, “but he’s going to be out for

Here’s where we are with the state of pitching in 2025: Let’s bring up a pitcher who throws two different fastballs that both have 100 mph velocity but with slightly different movement patterns. But we're mostly going to ignore those heaters, because neither is the pitch that makes him stand

A fun fact about baseball as we enter the second half of the season’s first month: The juice is all in the National League. Would you believe the top six teams in our Power Rankings are all from the National League? It’s true. I would not lie to you in

LOS ANGELES -- Prior to Monday’s game against the Dodgers, the Rockies placed Kris Bryant on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 13) with lumbar degenerative disc disease -- a lower back injury associated with the wear and tear of the spine. Back issues have been persistent for Bryant,

TORONTO -- The last time we did this, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was still a boy. On April 26, 2019, he walked the long tunnel towards his debut press conference wearing the jersey of his father. That day vibrated with anxiety and hope. He represented what the Guerrero name had been

Mark your calendars, baseball fans -- and avid collectors. All 30 teams have extensive promotional schedules lined up for the 2025 season. The giveaways range from bat-flipping bobbleheads to basketball jersesy to, yes, even cribbage boards. In fact, there are so many must-have giveaways that it may be a little
