1901 Shortstop Frank Shugart hit the first home run in White Sox history. It came in the eighth inning of a 3-2 loss to Detroit, off of future South Side starter Frank Owen. Ironically, the 1901 season was the only one Shugart would play in, as he was banned from the sport after the year ended for punching an umpire […]
The Los Angeles Dodgers have a unique ‘problem’, in employing the greatest player of this generation, Shohei Ohtani. Tuesday night’s game against the Miami Marlins highlighted this particular issue, as Ohtani pitched six innings, holding the Marlins to two runs. The Dodgers offense sans Ohtani mustered just one run, and the Marlins went on to […]
The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that right-hander Didier Fuentes has been recalled to Atlanta as a result of moving lefty Dylan Lee to the paternity list.

Columbus Clippers 8, Toledo Mud Hens 6 (box) The Mud Hens fought back from an early deficit only for the bullpen and a rough error from Max Clark to allow the Clippers to re-take the lead and win on Tuesday in Columbus. Ty Madden got the start, and once again looked like an aging depth […]
Dylan Coleman made his season debut with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on April 24th against the Rochester Red Wings at PNC Field in northeastern Pennsylvania. It was more than a debut, however — it was also a comeback. The 29-year-old relief pitcher stepped away from the game after being released early last season by the Baltimore […]
Good morning Birdland, That was the sort of win this team was built to pull off. Shane Baz provided his best start as an Oriole, earning his first win in the process. Gunnar Henderson set the table, stole a base, and scored twice. Adley Rutschman, Pete Alonso, and Samuel Basallo combined for five hits and […]
For the Arizona Cardinals the proof will be in the product. That is what happens when you have not really earned much in terms of runway when it comes to your drafts being good. Monti Ossenfort in his career has had three draft classes (the 2026 being his fourth) and has nary a Pro Bowl […]
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (14-13) SYRACUSE 10, LEHIGH VALLEY 4 (BOX) The newly promoted A.J. Ewing made his presence immediately known, leading off the game with a triple.

I mean, the biggest news surrounding this team is still that Rob Thomson was let go by the team. He’ll get a job with the team when and if he is ready, but the whole “need a new voice” thing does seem apt. They won last night, which is great, but the story is still […]

The Yankees are riding high out in the Lone Star State, securing another series win with a dominant Cam Schlittler start and homers from Austin Wells and Aaron Judge.

NY Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Yankees are promoting 22-year-old right-hander Elmer Rodríguez to make his MLB debut on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers.

PHOENIX – In a season where very little has gone right for Arizona baseball, the Wildcats’ Tuesday night loss at GCU serves as a microcosm for the past two months. Arizona overcame a sluggish start offensively to take a 4-run lead into the bottom of the ninth inning, only to watch its lead dissolve into […]
All year, it seems like we’ve been waiting for a seminal Bobby Witt Jr. moment. Until tonight, Bob only had one home run, and until the 10th inning Witt was hitless and had run into an out on third base to end an earlier inning. But in the 10th, Witt made up for it and […]
The Athletics returned home after a successful 4-2 road trip to start a three-game series with the Kansas City Royals.

LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani stuck to pitching and did his part, delivering another six-inning start with minimal damage.

Box Score The Brewers’ offense is still weathering the storm as they wait for some of their top batters to return from the injured list.
