MLB News: Scores, Standings, Stats, Trades, Rumors (2024)

With the end of June approaching, there’s a long list of teams on the postseason bubble, creating a lot of uncertainty about which clubs will be buyers and which will be sellers at the Trade Deadline on July 30 at 6 p.m. ET. Entering Saturday, all but five of the

LOS ANGELES -- It’s been a tale of two completely different seasons for Shohei Ohtani and Gavin Lux. Ohtani, the two-time unanimous American League Most Valuable Player, has established himself as one of the early favorites to take home his first NL MVP Award in his first season with the

Captain gives club lead it never relinquishes in game that Stanton exits with tight hamstring

NEW YORK -- You could sense the air leaking out of Yankee Stadium in the first inning on Saturday night, a feeling of “Oh, no” creeping into the building as Marcus Stroman whirled to watch Marcell Ozuna’s home run sail over the right-field wall. The Yankees hadn’t led at any

Every year after the All-Star fan vote is tabulated and the final roster selections are made, there seems to be at least one deserving player who doesn’t make the cut. But sometimes, the snubbed get the last laugh. Every now and then, a non-All-Star goes on to a bigger honor:

ARLINGTON -- Mad Max is back. At long last, the Rangers are about to get a big-time reinforcement in their rotation, as Max Scherzer is set to make his 2024 debut on Sunday against the Royals. The club announced on Saturday that he is expected to be activated from the

DENVER -- Tie game. Bases loaded. Full count. Ninth inning. No outs. For the Rockies’ Ryan McMahon, “When you’re a kid, those are the moments you dream up.” But no kid's dream ever ended with the plate umpire -- in this case Hunter Wendelstedt -- springing from his box and

PHILADELPHIA -- At this time a year ago, Cristopher Sánchez had made just six big league starts over the span of three seasons -- all on a fill-in basis. Fast forward to Saturday and the 27-year-old Sánchez was seated alongside Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski as the club

HOUSTON -- It’s gotten to the point where the Astros expect to win when right-hander Ronel Blanco takes the ball, which is the kind of vibe usually reserved for a team ace. And Blanco is pitching as much like an ace as anyone else in the Houston rotation, or maybe

SAN DIEGO -- Jackson Merrill insists he’s not doing anything new or different. Seriously. OK, sure, maybe he has made a couple minor mechanical tweaks. But he's always doing that. It's not like he is doing anything with the explicit purpose of trying to hit for power. And yet, look

ARLINGTON -- Wyatt Langford connected with a slider on the inside of the zone, and immediately broke out into a grin before rounding the bases. The Rangers’ 22-year-old rookie seemed like he knew at the moment of contact. Langford’s first career grand slam could not have come at a better

PITTSBURGH -- Jared Jones’ first inning got off to a wild and scary start, hitting Amed Rosario with a 100 mph fastball Saturday at PNC Park. There was no fracture for Rosario, who was removed from the game and needed stitches, so it could have been much worse for the

Outfielder scores go-ahead run, robs homer in Boston's win over Reds

CINCINNATI -- Jarren Duran saved the Red Sox on Saturday. Duran robbed Stuart Fairchild of a game-tying home run to center when he leaped at the wall and brought the ball back with one out in the ninth, capping off a 2-for-4 day that also included scoring the go-ahead run

Philadelphia blasts four home runs to back up Wheeler's bounceback gem

PHILADELPHIA -- Kyle Schwarber took some extra time to greet the fans when he trotted out to left field before the start of Saturday afternoon's game. He took a few seconds to soak it all in before starting to play catch -- and who could blame him? It was the

PITTSBURGH -- The shortest distance from PNC Park’s home plate to the Allegheny River, according to the Pirates' media guide, is 456 feet -- straight down the right-field line. That proximity to the water has created a tantalizing target for left-handed power hitters over the years, no different than the

Athletics reliever Sean Newcomb didn’t face a single batter in Friday night’s 6-5 victory over the Twins at Oakland Coliseum, but that didn’t stop him from earning his first win of the season. Newcomb came on in relief of Lucas Erceg with two outs in the bottom of the eighth

MIAMI -- The All-Star Game at Globe Life Field in Arlington is just over three weeks away, and with the run that Logan Gilbert has been on all season, maybe this will finally be the year he earns his first career selection. Gilbert put together another convincing performance toward his

Twins righty's ruthlessly efficient 10-K gem on par with Cone's 1999 perfect game

OAKLAND -- It takes a lot for the offense to become an afterthought on a day in which the Twins sent 12 men to the plate in an inning and exploded for 10 runs. An 89-pitch complete game will do that. Bailey Ober became the first Twins pitcher in 19

CLEVELAND -- It’s been a long, grueling wait, but Steven Kwan’s slump may finally be behind him. You know, the 0-for-4 slump that he endured for two hours on Friday night before logging two extra-base hits on Saturday afternoon at Progressive Field. Yes, Kwan’s performance brought his average up to

FAIRBANKS, Alaska -- More than 50 years ago, a college-aged Dave Winfield embarked on a 2,000-mile journey to play summer ball in a faraway land. In a place he'd never dreamed of playing. In Fairbanks, Alaska. On Friday, with his family by his side, the 72-year-old was back in Fairbanks.

Nido's first start with Cubs brings out the best in Chicago's big right-hander

CHICAGO -- Cubs starter Jameson Taillon was informed that Tomás Nido would be his catcher a few days ahead of his outing against the Mets on Saturday. Nido was only brought into the fold on Wednesday, so the pair had a brief window to get to work on building rapport

From walk-on to both the single-season and all-time home run crown at Georgia, Charlie Condon capped off a historic college career by winning the 2024 Golden Spikes Award on Saturday night. The Bulldogs outfielder/third baseman received the honor from USA Baseball before the first game of the Men’s College World

DETROIT -- The fact that MLB’s No. 54 prospect Drew Thorpe was still standing on the hill at Comerica Park to start the sixth inning was in itself something of a feat. Thorpe had already thrown 84 pitches in the 90-plus-degree heat. The White Sox were ahead by five runs.

PITTSBURGH -- This weekend, the Pirates are going to again turn the ball over to two top-flight rookies: Jared Jones on Saturday and Paul Skenes Sunday. It’s one of the most exciting young starter duos the organization has ever boasted, and their contributions are a big reason why they find
