The Phillies have been calling upon the services of Johan Duran a lot lately. The fire balling closer has appeared in four games over the last week and has seen his rest days start to shrink in number as the postseason race tightens. Look no further than his appearances earlier this week for evidence of […]
Previous Previews: QUARTERBACKS, RUNNING BACKS, TIGHT ENDS, WIDE RECEIVERS, OFFENSIVE LINE, DEFENSIVE TACKLES. What an awesome year it was for Mizzou’s edge rushers in 2025. Zion Young tallied a team-high 57 pressures per Pro Football Focus, while being a force in the run defense. His running mate, Damon Wilson II added 54 more pressures, while […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers beat the Nationals last night behind a dominant performance from Jacob deGrom. Skip Schumaker says it was “vintage deGrom” in Shawn McFarland’s game story. The win also featured deGrom’s 2,000th strikeout. Jeff Wilson writes that the milestone wasn’t the most important part of the night for the Rangers’ ace. Elsewhere […]
On paper, the Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the most talented rosters ever assembled. Yet, from the way they’ve been playing lately, you might not guess that. In the wake of their 2025 World Series championship, the already loaded Dodgers committed early to their three-peat ambitions. They acquired the services of the two top […] The post If the Dodgers Have an Achilles Heel, It’s Their Bullpen appeared first on Just Baseball .

The Cubs (74-54) bounced back from dropping a series to the Cardinals by taking two of three from the White Sox thanks to a couple of walk-off victories. Craig Counsell and company now make one final road trip to the West Coast starting Friday night in Seattle. It’s been a disappointing season for the Mariners … The post Chicago Cubs @ Seattle Mariners – Series Preview (August 21-23): Overview, Game and Broadcast Info, Starting Pitchers, W2W4 appeared first on .

ESPN is returning to Sunday Night Baseball for the first time in 2026 for a one-off broadcast of the MLB Little League Classic between the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers. In addition to its main broadcast, ESPN will also air the first-ever Alumni-cast on ESPN2. ESPN and MLB mutually opted out of their Sunday Night…
In recent years, it’s felt like there’s always another exciting Brewers prospect knocking on the door. When Jackson Chourio made his major league debut on Opening Day 2024, he was the No. 2 prospect in baseball and the best prospect the Brewers had had in years. A little over a year later, Jacob Misiorowski made […]
Having wrapped up a road trip with a series victory in Baltimore, the Yankees are now set to return home this weekend. While every game at this stage of the season matters, the Blue Jays are coming to town seemingly rejuvenated in the playoff race. These two teams met just last weekend in Toronto. The […]
Meet the Mets The Mets had the day off yesterday after taking their series from the Padres, and having won 11 of their past 15 games, they’re set to play the first-place White Sox in a three-game series in Chicago this weekend. That 11-4 record since the break is tied with the Rays for the […]
The Atlanta Braves earned their 75th win of the season after Thursday’s 2-0 win over the Chicago White Sox. Grant Holmes and Austin Riley allowed Atlanta to avoid the sweep during the makeup game. Holmes got the start, lasting six innings and allowing just one hit. He walked three and struck out three. Austin Riley […]
The Dodgers roster has been a carousel of All-Star (both current and former) talent playing nearly every day and the taxi squad members whose role is equally vital to the team’s success. One of those former taxi squad members, Santiago Espinal, has found a new home within the NL West. Espinal signed a minor league […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants may have lost yesterday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t anything to celebrate. Willy Adames hit a two-run home run in the top of the fourth inning, scoring Rafael Devers and giving the Giants their only two runs of the game. But […]
The City Council approved a $600 million funding commitment for a downtown ballpark on Thursday. More information about the financing will be published tomorrow ahead of the TIF Commission’s meeting, officials said. The City Council would be expected to vote on creating a TIF district and on formally issuing bonds for the stadium. The council […]
As has been well-documented, the 2016 Minnesota Twins were a mess of a ballclub. Even when things were at their best, bad decisions (Miguel Sano in RF) were made and folks (GM Terry Ryan) were fired. But there was one—and quite literally just one—spark: a home run barrage from Brian Dozier. In 2015, Dozier had […]

Triple-A: Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 7, Norfolk Tides 0 Heston Kjerstad reached base in all four plate apperances, but Norfolk never managed to bring him home. Kjerstad tripled and also worked a walk. Bryan Ramos and José Barrero added the other two singles. Tides starter Juaron Watts-Brown failed to complete three innings during a disappointing day. […]
Happy Friday, everyone! We’ve made it through another week and we’re closing in on the end of August. Still hard to believe that the end of summer and the end of the regular baseball season are now just over a month away (howww????). This, of course, brings us to the weird and wacky position the […]
Roch Cholowsky hasn’t played since Saturday, and upon further review perhaps he wouldn’t have stuck out the rest of Saturday’s game had it not extended merely one batter beyond his final plate appearance. FutureSox’s Jeff Cohen relayed before Thursday’s Winston-Salem game that a sore wrist was what was keeping Cholowsky out of four straight agmes,… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 20, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
The trade deadline has passed, and the Miami Marlins, who have continued to prove the preseason doubters wrong, did not do anything to bolster their big-league team. In fact, they did the opposite by trading one of their top-three hitters in their lineup and one of Clayton McCullough’s go-to bullpen arms. There is no doubt […] The post Top Marlins Duo Is Scuffling at the Worst Time Possible appeared first on Just Baseball .
