LOS ANGELES — Max Muncy wasn’t alive the last time a Dodgers third baseman started in the All-Star Game. Adrian Beltré belted a career-high 48 homers and finished second in MVP voting in his final season as a Dodger in 2004, but the Hall of Famer didn’t become an All-Star for the first time until six years later in Boston. In 2014, Justin Turner joined the Dodgers and proceeded to […]

After winning the National League East in six consecutive seasons from 2018-23 and capturing the 2021 World Series, the Braves finished 2025 with a mediocre 76-86 record. They missed the postseason for the first time since 2017 — unacceptable for […]

From Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler with the Yankees to Miguel Vargas and Davis Martin with the upstart White Sox, some of the most productive MLB players at their respective positions this season have never been All-Stars before. That should change soon. All-Star voting is underway, and we’re a month away from this year’s All-Star Game in Philadelphia. With that in mind, in this week’s Power Rankings we look at […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto was inches away from perfection. Yamamoto struck out seven hitters while throwing 109 pitches over 8 1/3 innings. The Dodgers ace came four outs from a perfect game and three from a no-hitter, while leading the Dodgers to a 7-1 victory against the White Sox on Saturday. He was through 7 2/3 innings when White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth hit a ground ball at Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts, […]
