Do the Phillies have a José Alvarado problem?

For the most part, the Phillies bullpen has been a strength so far this season. There’s been some bad luck involved, but overall, the unit looks strong. One major exception however is José Alvarado.  Following Sunday’s ineffective performance, Alvarado has now allowed 8 runs, 7 earned, in 5 innings pitched on 9 hits with 7 […]

Mets Morning News: Another quiet night for the Mets’ bats

Meet the Mets Dodgers’ starter Justin Wrobleski set down the first 13 Mets hitters and faced the minimum through seven, as New York lost their sixth straight by a 4-0 score to the Dodgers. Wrobleski ended up hurling eight shutout frames. The Mets managed just three hits as their scoreless streak extended to 20 innings, […]

Tigers claim RHP Yoniel Curet, move Parker Meadows to the 60-day IL

Well, considering the extent of Parker Meadows injuries after his collision with Riley Greene last week, this isn’t surprising. The Tigers on Monday moved the center fielder to the 60-day injured list with a fractured left arm as well as a concussion. The initial impact looked like Meadows, trying to veer away from Greene, who […]

When will Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman hit the wall?

Aroldis Chapman has been nearly perfect over his Red Sox tenure. He’s converted 35 of 37 save opportunities, registering a 1.22 ERA in that span. But Father Time is undefeated, Chapman has been prone to meltdowns, and I’m generally distrustful, so I’m waiting for the wheels to fall off. Last week, against the Brewers, Chapman […]

Marlon Nieves wins California League pitcher of the week

The Ontario Tower Buzzers have their first-ever award winner, as Dodgers minor league right-hander Marlon Nieves was named California League pitcher of the week for the week of April 6-12. Nieves last Tuesday struck out six in six scoreless innings in a road win over the Inland Empire 66ers in San Bernardino, the longest outing […]

Kansas City Royals News: There is still a lot of season left

Seems like a slow news day. Vahe Gregorian writes about the Royals start to the season. The Royals’ starting rotation entered the game with a 2.56 ERA — second in MLB only to the Yankees (2.50). Meanwhile, its offense with 54 runs through Sunday is tied for second-worst in baseball. So there is many a […]

Troy Johnston is making the most of his time with the Colorado Rockies

Back on November 5, 2025, when the Colorado Rockies claimed INF/OF Troy Johnston off waivers, the move seemed fairly insignificant. At the time, the Rockies rebuild was in its early stages with key front office positions remaining unfilled, so their thinking on claiming Johnston was unclear. In spring training, however, Johnston’s potential became clear: It’s […]

White Sox Weekly: April 6 – 12, 2025

The Chicago White Sox went 2–5 this week. In many ways, that alone could serve as the recap. But even in a rough stretch, there were a few bright spots worth noting, and a few areas that weren’t so encouraging. Those themes break down into two familiar buckets: hitting and pitching. PITCHING In the interest […]

Chicago Cubs news and notes — Assad, Sanchez, Schwarber

In which an old fart breaks like the wind. Yes, it’s true — I am locking up the imaginary office. Ocular issues, mostly. Thanks again for the reads. Phillies 13, Cubs 7. Javier Assad took the ball to Citizens Bank Park and attempted to throw it past the Phillies. Cristopher Sánchez tried to continue his […]

Orioles prospects: Willems HRs twice, Dzierwa dazzles again

Welcome to the second installment of Camden Chat’s minor league weekly recap.

Triple-A Norfolk Tides Tides hitters struggled to get, you know…hits. They had […]

Are you worried about Garrett Crochet?

With the Red Sox having some momentum after winning two straight and four of their last five games, they gave the ball to Garrett Crochet last night. He was facing a Minnesota Twins lineup that recently beat up on Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez, and turned in the worst performance of his career: an 11-run, […]

Reinhardt leads Panthers to 3-2 win over Rangers

Cole Reinhardt opened the scoring and potted the game-winning goal with 1:50 remaining in regulation to lift the Florida Panthers to a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers. With the Panthers applying heavy pressure in the offensive zone, Donovan Sebrango backhanded the around the boards to Luke Kunin, who centered back out to Reinhardt, and he snapped off a shot that beat retiring Jonathan Quick from the left circle to give the Panthers their 39th win of this lost, injury-ravaged campaign. ...

Yankees prospects: Week 3 minor league recap

It wasn’t the best week on the farm for the Yankees’ four affiliates, but it was the first full week of the season, during which all four affiliates got in six games. Nobody had a winning week, but all four levels had at least one player produce a standout performance, with several showing incredible progress […]

The St. Louis Cardinals’ season is in full swing, and we’re starting to get to more meaningful early sample sizes when it comes to performance and consistent data on pitch shapes.
