The Blue Jays' Ernie Clement has surged to the top of the American League in the second update of the 2026 MLB All-Star ballot, overtaking the Angels' Mike Trout, the Yankees' Aaron Judge and the Astros' Yordan Alvarez, who led the AL in the first update. Clement now has 2,054,130 votes, the second-highest total of any player in either league and a lead of nearly 80,000 over Alvarez in the AL. The Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani remains the overall leader with 2,310,735 votes, the only player past 2 mill

There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: The Athletics and Angels had one wild Friday night. Through three innings, the A’s were already up 4-0, but that’s when Los Angeles began to take control. In the top of the fourth, first baseman Nolan Schanuel walked, then second baseman Osw

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: The Mets have been a disaster at times in 2026, but there is still a reason to hope: the team has been plagued by injuries, and, despite basically everything suffering the worst-case scenario all the time, New York is still just five games b

Andrew Benintendi launched a pinch-hit grand slam off Camilo Doval in the eighth inning Thursday night and the Chicago White Sox ended a nine-game losing streak at Yankee Stadium with a 5-1 victory over New York. Benintendi batted for Randal Grichuk and was Chicago’s third pinch hitter of the inning. He snapped a 1-all tie by driving Doval’s first pitch, a 100 mph sinker, into the right-center seats. It was the fourth career slam for Benintendi, who played 33 games for the Yankees in 2022, and h

Baseball owners proposed banning high school players from signing with major-league teams, raising the age for international amateurs and slashing the money spent on signing bonuses in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement Thursday. The amateur draft for players residing in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico would be cut from 20 rounds to 12 beginning in 2027 under the proposal Major League Baseball made during a bargaining session with the players' association. An identical 12-ro

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: The Dodgers aren’t inevitable, but they sure are terrifying. The Rays are a formidable opponent, but not formidable enough for Los Angeles, as the Dodgers swept Tampa Bay thanks to a 5-4 win in Wednesday’s go-home matchup. A four-run fifth f

The Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani and the Astros' Yordan Alvarez are the leading vote-getters for the National League and American League, respectively, in the first update of the 2026 MLB All-Star ballot. Ohtani leads all players with 1,165,133 votes. If that holds, it would be the first time the two-way superstar has topped all of baseball in All-Star balloting. He leads Alvarez by more than 149,000 votes for the MLB lead. Alvarez has tallied 1,015,768 votes and leads by a staggering 692,000-plus ove

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 accumulate more than 1,000 hits over the next nine years with the team, but his two All-Star appearances during that

His 2026 started slow, as he struggled in the World Baseball Classic and then hit just .159/.250/.261 through his first 23 games of the season. He finally started to hi

NEW YORK – Last year, the Atlanta Braves were the answer to a trivia question nobody wanted to be: Which of Major League Baseball’s most consistent franchises finally fell apart? 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 an incredibly talented team in an expanded playoff format. Longtime manage

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: The Braves still have a better record than the Dodgers, thanks to having two fewer losses, but Los Angeles has still made significant strides of late. Not only are the Dodgers now eight games up on the second-place Padres in the NL West, but

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 the potential first-time All-Stars on every team. Mickey Moniak hasn’t played in more t

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, who failed to field it cleanly, allowing Meidroth to reach base on an error. Yamamoto st

History was a matter of when, not if, for Jacob Misiorowski. The moment came during the first inning of the Milwaukee Brewers' game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Misiorowski clocked 105 miles per hour on the radar gun when he blew a pitch passed Phillies' leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber, striking him out. Misiorowski's 105 mph pitch set the record for the fastest pitch thrown by an MLB starting pitcher. Misiorowski has been flirting with this milestone since the Brewers promoted him

Several top pro athletes and their surgeons say a modern version of an old tool is shaving weeks off the recovery time for certain injuries. And some top doctors think this is only the beginning. Cy Young Award winners Tarik Skubal and Blake Snell let doctors use the instrument on their prized elbows. Connor Hellebuyck, the 2025 Hart Trophy winner as NHL MVP, trusted it to address issues in his knee. Several NFL players have turned to it, too. It’s called the NanoNeedle scope 2.0, a miniaturized

ANAHEIM, Calif. — With Aaron Judge on the injured list and Shohei Ohtani thriving in the other league, the door is open for a new contender to win the American League MVP award for the first time since the shortened 2020 season. Is this finally Yordan Alvarez’s year to take home the honor? "It’s something I think every player wants, but right now I’m not thinking about that," Alvarez told me through his interpreter earlier this week in Anaheim. "I’m not that type of player, to have that kind of

CITI FIELD (New York) – While speculation about his future continues to circulate outside the clubhouse, Freddy Peralta isn’t paying any attention. Instead, the veteran right-hander has focused on something much closer to home: bringing his teammates together. "He made this place his house right away," Juan Soto told me on Thursday about Peralta's positive impact this season. "He's fitting in with all the players. He's bringing the energy." If the New York Mets (30-38) continue to slide down the

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: Even Shohei Ohtani has off nights. Of course, his off night on Wednesday involved allowing — gasp — three earned runs over 6 ⅔ innings, and going a mere 1-for-5 at the plate with a run and two RBIs. Of course, Ohtani had only the one hit bec

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers believed "The Monster of the Reiwa Era," a title bestowed upon Roki Sasaki after the Japanese phenom broke Shohei Ohtani’s high school velocity record, was still somewhere inside the 24-year-old right-hander, waiting to be unleashed again through the right series of tweaks and adjustments. They were determined to let Sasaki iron out his deficiencies at the big-league level, hoping to reap the rewards once everything clicked into place. After a volatile year trying to he
