MIAMI -- Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara collected his first win in 18 months in Tuesday night’s 4-2 victory over the Mets at loanDepot park. Alcantara, who beat the Nationals on Sept. 3, 2023, allowed two runs on three hits with four strikeouts across five innings in his second start back

We regrettably have no video evidence to prove it, but baseball pranks, gags and practical jokes have almost certainly been around as long as the game itself. You can probably imagine a member of the 1881 Worcester Ruby Legs setting fire to the shoe of an unwitting teammate. Or a

NEW YORK -- After spending a week in what he described as “no man’s land,” Adam Ottavino landed in a familiar place on Tuesday, signing a Major League contract to rejoin the Yankees. The 39-year-old Ottavino, who previously pitched for the Bombers in 2019 and ’20, was added to the

MIAMI -- Mets left-hander Sean Manaea won't throw for two weeks after he experienced a setback in his return from a right oblique strain, manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday. The Mets had been hoping to get him back in the rotation in mid- to late April, but now he likely

BOSTON – When Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow sent four prospects to the White Sox in December for Garrett Crochet, he had no intention of the emerging lefty ace being a short-timer in Boston. And that is sure not to be the case now. Crochet, just one start

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Carson Kelly wasn’t done. Late in the Cubs’ 18-3 win over the Athletics on Monday at Sutter Health Park, there wasn’t much left to be decided in terms of the outcome. But the Chicago catcher still had something left to do. When his line drive to right-center

LOS ANGELES -- The inevitable occurred on Monday morning when the Braves purchased Jesse Chavez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett. But Chavez's return lasted just one game when the club designated the right-hander for assignment. To take his place on the roster, the club selected right-hander Zach Thompson on Tuesday. This

SAN DIEGO -- Maybe it’s for the best that Kyle Hart didn’t earn his first big league win until Monday night. No, technically Hart was not making his Major League debut in the Padres’ 7-2 win over the Guardians at Petco Park. The 32-year-old left-hander had made four appearances for

MIAMI -- The person holding court for Monday afternoon’s largest media scrum wasn’t superstars Juan Soto or Francisco Lindor, but newly nicknamed “El Torpedo.” Aaron Leanhardt, the Marlins’ unassuming field coordinator, is the inventor of the “Torpedo" bat that stole headlines following the Yankees’ historic home run output over the
