Derek Jeter’s master plan to swoop in and fix the Miami Marlins has gone horribly awry, according to … Derek Jeter. The Reds’ attempt to hang on to an 8-0 lead against the Giants also went south, as did the Yankees’ desperate attempt to keep their stars healthy, and the Cardinals’ attempt to make Cubs […] More
It was a bad break — no pun intended — for the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday when ace Corey Kluber took a 102-mph line drive off his forearm and broke his ulna. He’ll be out for a while, making the Indians’ AL Central race with the Twins that much tougher for Cleveland. Elsewhere, the Dodgers […] More
It was a bad day for injuries in Major League Baseball. Young Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. hurt himself doing the splits. Brewers megastar Christian Yelich left Milwaukee’s game with the Mets (as did Robinson Cano for New York). And the Yankees have a couple more injuries even as they keep winning. In happier news, […] More
The Tampa Bay Rays have only been around for 21 years, and playing in a division with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox doesn’t provide many opportunities for trash-talking. That’s changing this season. The Rays are in first place, and they’re happy to let people know about it. Elsewhere, Tim Anderson is back […] More
Christian Yelich’s torrid April continues for the Milwaukee Brewers, and now he has the Major League Baseball record for home runs before May 1.

Elsewhere, the […] More
Max Scherzer still seems to have plenty of good years left in Major League Baseball, but he’s already hitting some pretty big milestones: He recorded his 2,500th career strikeout in a loss to the Padres on Friday night, joining some exclusive company. Speaking of which, the Los Angeles Dodgers now own the record for most […] More
Sometimes, baseball is cyclical. With one superstar on his way back to an active roster in Major League Baseball, another one hits the injured list. Francisco Lindor is back for the Cleveland Indians after an ankle injury, but Jacob deGrom has some discomfort in his elbow and will miss at least one start for the […] More
Lots of fun stuff on Major League Baseball social media to start the weekend. The Texas Rangers’ Joey Gallo hit a monstrous home run. Arizona Diamondbacks center fielder Ketel Marte completely lost a fly ball … and then followed it up with a great catch on the very next batter. There’s also some not-so-fun stuff […] More
One of Major League Baseball’s top home run hitters, Khris Davis, is staying in Oakland for at least two more seasons, after he signed a two-year extension with the team Thursday. Speaking of top young players, the Dodgers have one in Julio Urias, who struck out nine and flirted with a no-hitter on Thursday — […] More
The news dominating Major League Baseball is all about yesterday’s brawl between the White Sox and Royals, in which Chicago’s Tim Anderson got ejected, even though he was the one being thrown at. It’s causing plenty of controversy around baseball. Speaking of controversy, the Red Sox continue to struggle and David Price has a suggestion […] More
The talk of the day in Major League Baseball was Tim Anderson’s home run, bat flip and the subsequent brawl between the White Sox and Royals.
