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 won't return

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

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

Torpedo bats are all the rage around Major League Baseball this week, but are they here to stay? The Yankees’ power display over the weekend -- New York hit 15 home runs in a three-game home sweep of the Brewers -- caused many to wonder how much of an impact

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

CINCINNATI -- It took four games but the Reds found the full throttle for their offense, with both their little engine -- Matt McLain -- and their big engine -- Elly De La Cruz -- combining forces to provide the power. McLain hit his third home run in as many

LOS ANGELES -- The inevitable occurred on Monday morning when the Braves purchased Jesse Chavez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett.

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

MIAMI -- It wasn’t quite the same as Citi Field, but still, loanDepot park had a certain aura percolating the atmosphere as Pete Alonso rounded the bases following a fifth-inning grand slam in Monday night's 10-4 win against the Marlins. Alonso showed the hordes of Mets fans on hand he

Roy Hobbs, the fabled swinger of his beloved “Wonderboy,” might disagree. But there really is no such thing as a “magic bat.” When MLB hitters select their sticks, they must make certain compromises. The longer a bat, for instance, the more difficult it is to control through the zone. The

SAN DIEGO -- At Petco Park, they couldn’t quite believe it. Gavin Sheets, a non-roster invitee to Padres Spring Training, had just driven in his fourth run of the night with his third hit -- all three of them scorched off the bat of the hulking 28-year-old slugger. Through five

CINCINNATI -- Although currently on the 15-day injured list with what's listed as a left hamstring strain, Reds closer Alexis Díaz has been using the time to work on a mechanical adjustment with pitching coach Derek Johnson that he hopes will bring more strikes. After a couple of successful bullpen
