The Nats have a bad home record at 4-12. However, part of that is due to the teams they have played. They have already faced the Dodgers, Braves and Brewers at Nats Park. Now, they will get a lighter touch against the Twins. They need to take advantage of this and boost their home record. […]
First, the good news. The Red Sox got a slew of cautiously optimistic injury updates this afternoon from Comerica Park in Detroit.

PHILADELPHIA — Chase Shugart let the cat out of the bag in Miami over the weekend, admitting on the NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast Tim Mayza was known as “The Sheriff.” The nickname has gotten around the clubhouse, enough where Mayza is “Sheriff” by default.

On the surface, just about everything that Cincinnati Reds lefty Andrew Abbott has been throwing this year is the same as it was during his All Star campaign in 2025. His fastball, never a true heater, is within 0.4 mph of last year’s average, and obviously he’s been pitching in the cooler weather of April. […]
