The New York Yankees‘ roster has been decimated by injuries in recent weeks, playing a role in the club’s June […]
Hunter Greene is ready for his 2026 debut, as the Reds officially activated the right-hander from the 60-day injured list in advance of his planned start tonight against the Orioles. In corresponding moves, Cincinnati designated outfielder Will Benson for assignment and optioned right-hander Chase Petty to Triple-A. Greene had bone chips removed from his throwing […]
The fever breaks! The Yankees won a baseball game last night, something we haven’t been able to say in more than a week. They now have a golden opportunity to win two games in a row, which isn’t quite a winning streak by my definition but it’s almost a winning streak. Rookie Brendan Beck gets […]
DENVER – Every front office has a move it wishes it could have back. For the Diamondbacks, trading Jake McCarthy is beginning to look like one of those decisions. Arizona’s offense has spent stretches of the season searching for consistency at the plate. When the lineup isn’t getting production from its biggest names, the lack […]
As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, players representing the city where much of it began will arrive in Kansas City to play a three-game set. Of note to many fans will be the fact that the Phillies started the season 9-19. At that point, they fired their manager, Rob Thomson. They then hired […]
Lamine Yamal is set to come up against Nuno Mendes next at World Cup 2026 as Spain face Portugal in the last 16 of the tournament. The Barcelona named Mendes as the “toughest opponent” he’s faced in his career so far in a recent interview but will now come up against the defender on Monday […]
After another World Cup-induced Friday off-day, the Phillies will take on the Kansas City Royals in a rare Saturday to Monday series. The Phillies and Royals have some history together, as they squared off in the 1980 World Series. (The Phillies won.) It seems unlikely that there will be a rematch in the 2026 World […]
First Pitch: 12:35 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy It seems the recent playbook of Twins v Yankees has involved some level of delusional, early optimism — Kody Clemens’ first-inning homer last night might have set some sort of alternate-reality stage, where the Twins come out guns-a-blazin’ and […]
It’s been a busy and largely fruitful offseason, so far, for the New York Rangers. And it’s probably safe to […]
Now that we're a few days into July, it’s time to answer two equally important questions: Which cap-flush teams handed out the most outrageously expensive contracts to mid-level players, and how’d everyone do in the annual prediction contest? If you’re new to all of this, let’s get you caught up. Every year, right before the season starts, we run a reader contest in which you’re invited to make predictions about what will and won’t happen in the coming season. The questions are simple, but thi...
The Fourth of July can often be a time for reflection on what you're grateful for, which is easy to do when you have a few days off work and can spend time with friends and family.
The Cubs have signed right-hander Jake Woodford to a big league contract, MLB Trade Rumors’ Steve Adams reports. The news comes just two days after Woodford triggered an opt-out clause in his minor league deal with the Brewers, so Milwaukee chose to release the righty rather than add him back to its active roster. Chicago […]
Texas Rangers lineup for July 4, 2026 against the Detroit Tigers: starting pitchers are Cal Quantrill for the Rangers and Jack Flaherty for the Tigers: After the rare Friday scheduled off day, the Rangers return to action this afternoon in game two of their series against the Tigers.

The New York Yankees (49-38) snapped a seven-game losing streak on Friday night and look to clinch a series victory on Saturday when they host the Minnesota Twins (42-47) at Yankee Stadium. How to Watch Minnesota Twins vs New York…
DENVER – For years, Jake McCarthy represented the style of baseball the Diamondbacks wanted to build around. He wasn’t the biggest power hitter or the flashiest star, but he pressured defenses with elite speed, quality at-bats and relentless energy. Those traits are difficult to replace, which is why his historic night in Colorado should resonate […]
How to watch Phillies-Royals on TV.

Kahnle now has the option of accepting the outright assignment or electing free agency. Boston […]
My college roommate and I waited until the last moment to visit Old Yankee Stadium and were richly rewarded. I had completed my fourth year of teaching, and he — a St. Louis Cardinals fan from Jacksonville, Ill. — had finished his Master’s in percussion performance in Akron, Ohio.
Every franchise searching for a new identity eventually reaches the same conclusion: it needs a star to usher in a new era. Examples of this exist across every sport. The New York Knicks did it with Jalen Brunson. The Texas Rangers did it with Corey Seager and Marcus Semien. Those signings were questioned and even […] The post Pete Alonso Has Been Worth Every Penny on the Orioles appeared first on Just Baseball .
One of the biggest sports media spectacles of the Fourth of July is the Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest. After missing the 2024 competition, Joey Chestnut returned in 2025 to reclaim his throne. Now, he is back in…

The Colorado Rockies are tied for the second-worst record in MLB at 36-53, once again at the fault of their poor pitching staff compounded by the high elevation of Coors Field. Despite the poor record, the Rockies have been playing a better brand of baseball under new management, led by team president Walker Monfort, president […] The post What Does Selling Look Like for the Rockies This Year? appeared first on Just Baseball .
Happy birthday, America. I tried to get you a tie, but then the Marlins scored 7 extra runs. Tonight you will be treated to lots of fireworks, and I don’t mean from Jeffrey Springs pitching. But enough about how wretchedly the A’s play at home — I have it on good authority (ok fine, Lawrence […]
