NEW YORK – The Mets’ best hitter isn’t at his locker at Citi Field. He’s not in the batting cages. He’s not on the field, in his usual blue sweatshirt with his hoodie pulled up, in the still-freezing April temperatures in Queens. Juan Soto is nowhere to be found because his directive is, simply, to rest. Soto strained his right calf while running the bases during the Mets’ series against […]

Edwin Díaz hasn’t been a starter since he was in Double-A a decade ago, so the three-time All-Star closer doesn’t know exactly how exhausting it must be for a starting pitcher to have to navigate the Dodgers’ daunting lineup multiple times on a single night. He can commiserate with opposing starters, though, as they attempt to deal with a Dodgers' offense that is starting to look like the inexorable machine […]

Atlanta Braves pitcher Reynaldo Lopez and Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Jorge Soler were ejected after getting into a brawl on Tuesday night. Soler homered off López in the first inning and was then hit by a 96 mph fastball from the right-hander his next time up.

NEW YORK – The night before the Yankees home opener, Aaron Judge sent a message in the team group chat, simply saying: "Suits tomorrow." So the team rolled up to the Bronx wearing suits. The clubhouse was fired up to follow the Yankee captain’s directive and continue that momentum onto the field.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras had a warning for the Milwaukee Brewers after he was hit on the hand by a pitch Monday night from right-hander Brandon Woodruff. "They always say, ‘I’m not trying to hit you,’’’ Contreras said after the Brewers beat the scuffling Red Sox 8-6 at Fenway Park. "That gets old. So, next time they hit me again, I’m going to take one of them […]

This rematch carried the weight of October, even if the game didn’t. Meeting for the first time since the unforgettable Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Toronto Blue Jays in a 14-2 win on Monday night at the Rogers Centre. Though the series opener was devoid of the close battles we saw in the Fall Classic, this was still a sequel worth watching. […]

Blue Jays right-hander and three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer left Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers after two innings, another potential blow to Toronto’s injury-hit starting rotation. The 41-year-old Scherzer, who re-signed with Toronto in February, allowed two runs and two hits. Teoscar Hernandez homered in the first, driving in Kyle Tucker’s walk. Scherzer’s fastball averaged 93.4 mph in a March 31 start against Colorado. That dropped […]
