KANSAS CITY -- Byron Buxton, who started the first 11 games of the season in center field for the Twins, was not with the team for Thursday’s series finale against the Royals. According to the club, Buxton has “returned home to deal with a personal matter.” The absence is not

The catch that Marlins center fielder Derek Hill made on Tuesday was billed as an early catch of the year candidate, and one that frankly would be hard to top. So is it possible that his own teammate -- and fellow center fielder -- one-upped him less than 24 hours

SAN FRANCISCO – One of the more surprising stats to come out of the Giants’ 9-3 start is how many roster moves that president of baseball operations Buster Posey has made since Opening Day involving the Major League squad. Zero.

WEST SACRAMENTO -- No Jackson Merrill, no Fernando Tatis Jr., no Jake Cronenworth -- no problem for the Padres on Wednesday. They became the first team in the Majors to reach 10 wins this season with their 2-1 victory over the A’s at Sutter Health Park -- despite missing a
