Yesavage is back. Yay. And we are facing a lefty, for the second day in a row. It went so well yesterday. The lineup is much the same as yesterday, but Andres Gimenez is in after missing a couple of games. George Springer faced live pitching in batting practice again. He must be close to […]
In a battle of potential young studs on the mound, Payton Tolle is set to take on Trey Yesavage. Tolle is coming off an electric outing against the Yankees, which Over The Monster’s own Jake Roy went into detail about earlier this morning.

The Nats are headed to Queens to face a Mets team that has fallen on their face so far this season. They are 9-19, which is tied for the worst record in baseball. With Alex Cora and Rob Thomson having been fired, Carlos Mendoza’s seat is red hot. However, a wounded animal can be the […]
The San Diego Padres nearly let this one slip. After a devastating 12-7 loss that included the Arizona Diamondbacks scoring 11 unanswered runs on Sunday, the Friars quickly got back in the win column with a 9-7 victory over the red-hot Chicago Cubs. Both starters were tagged for five runs, but the Friars had the […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will have a hard time topping their come-from-behind thriller Monday night when they scored 4 ninth inning runs to beat Pittsburgh 4-2.

Tonight begins the third series in a row in which the O’s face a team currently sitting in last place in its division. It’s unusual to find the Astros resembling that remark, as they’ve been consistently good for the better part of a decade, making the playoffs eight times in the last ten years. The […]
After recent news broke that a British heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury had finally been signed, it was a bit curious that the announcement came without a specific date or venue. In an interview with Fight Hype, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn confirms that they have actually put pen to paper for a […]

Worth noting, Colorado sits at 13-16 on the season, their best start through 29 games since 2022, when they got off to a 16-13 start. In addition, the Rockies are […]
The Mets hadn’t officially listed who their starting pitcher would be for the second game of their series against the Nationals until this afternoon, but it’s official now: David Peterson is getting the start. The 30-year-old lefty had lost his rotation spot after a string of very bad outings, but he’s fared better working multiple […]
Justin Steele had Tommy John surgery just about a year ago. So, most were hoping he could come back to the Cubs rotation sometime in late May or early June. That, apparently, will not be happening: We don’t really know anything beyond this, yet. A “setback” could be a few days, or a few weeks, […]
In addition to mentioning that Juan Soto is dealing with forearm tightness in his pregame press availability, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that fellow outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is dealing with lower back tightness. The team considers him day-to-day at the moment. The perpetually-injured Robert is in his age-28 season, his first in Queens as […]
Hoo boy, we got an absolute litany of updates from Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss during his usual pre-game press conference.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Juan Soto experienced forearm tightness after throwing on Friday, and the team is hoping he can get back to playing the field in the next few days.

From Boston on down, several Red Sox pitching prospects have stood out in the early stages of the 2026 season. One name that may be flying under the radar, though, is Dylan Brown. Brown made this week’s Baseball America Hot Sheet as a prospect with “helium” after his most recent start for Low-A Salem last … Continue reading "Red Sox pitching prospect Dylan Brown off to promising start with Low-A Salem"
Let’s start with the important part of this story: Luis Arraez is having a great season right now. Do all the people who never doubted the front office’s commitment to signing a singles hitter who hadn’t played second base in some time to play second base want to serve crow to those of us who […]
