He’s back. The Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. The 26-year-old was hitting .244 with 25 home runs and 70 RBIs prior to the injury. Stanton rejoins the team at a critical time, with the Marlins sitting five games out of the second wild card spot in the NL. Miami has dropped nine of the last 10 […]

New York Mets second baseman Neil Walker has opted to have surgery to a repair a herniated disk in his lower back, ESPN.com’s Adam Rubin reports. The microdiscectomy procedure will require a three-month recovery. “It was a very difficult decision,” Walker told reporters Thursday. “There were a lot of factors that were involved — the way […]

Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout was involved in a car crash in Orange County after his game Wednesday night that left one person with major injuries. According to a report from the California Highway Patrol obtained by the Orange County Register, Trout swerved to avoid traffic that came to a stop in front of him […]

Over the course of the long year, a streak or a slump can arise at any time. But the occasion in which these events are magnified most — at least as far as the regular season is concerned — would have to be September. Thus, the players on this list should be exuding, or lacking, confidence entering this […]

The Astros invited Miss Texas 2016 (Daniella Rodriguez) to throw out the first pitch before Wednesday’s game against the Athletics, and 50 Cent is probably happy she did, because her toss was almost as awful as his was. Rodriguez looked great making her way to the mound, as far as her attire and smiling face, […]

For whichever team comes out on top in the AL East, it will have earned the title. This race couldn’t be much tighter nearing the final month. Three teams are separated by only three games. The difference between first place and fourth place? Just 6.5 games. The trio at the head of the division share a common trait as the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red […]

Aly Raisman brought the three medals she won at the Olympics in Rio to Fenway Park on Friday night to throw out the first pitch of the game. Raisman is from Needham, Mass., so it made sense that she would open the team’s game against the Royals. She had some fun with it, taking her […]

Carlos Gomez seemed to be really happy that he left Houston, judging by what he did in his first at-bat as a new member of the Texas Rangers. With two on, facing a 1-0 count, Gomez got a hanging breaking ball, and he did not miss it. It was a softball pitch, and he sent […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was held to just one catch in Super Bowl 50, and Josh Norman, who had him in coverage, is still boasting about it. Thomas was targeted six times, but only had one reception, and Norman hasn’t forgotten about it. He recently declared himself “the best cornerback on Earth,” and […]

Josh Reddick did not play against the Cincinnati Reds Monday because of something that happened in his hotel room Sunday night. The Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder injured a finger on his right hand when holding open a hotel room door, the Los Angeles Times reports. Reddick was holding the door open for room service when his finger […]

Hunter Pence showed great closing speed and concentration while also flashing the leather during Monday night’s game against the Pirates. Pence made a spectacular catch on a ball that Josh Harrison popped up into foul territory. He followed the ball, but ran so fast he slipped and fell down. No problem, he slid underneath where […]

The Chicago Cubs committed a mind-numbing gaffe Sunday night involving closer Aroldis Chapman. For one reason or another, the song “Smack My B**** Up” by The Prodigy made its way into the stadium’s playlist—and then manged to get played as Chapman left the mound in the ninth inning. Not only is the song incredibly insensitive […]

With just over two-thirds of the 2016 MLB season in the books, we now have a better understanding of which teams will be in the playoff picture heading into September. However, some of these teams that appear to be legitimate contenders are simply illusions, with their glaring weaknesses likely to be exposed down the stretch. Here are the clubs that are for real, along with the ones that will soon fade away. Contenders Toronto […]

Alex Rodriguez played in his final game with the New York Yankees on Friday, so naturally, later that night, he went out and popped bottles. And apparently, he took his celebrating to the next level and was seen with a giant bottle of Jay Z’s Armand de Brignac champagne, which retails for roughly $80,000. ARod […]

The St. Louis Cardinals have “legitimate curiosity” in outfielder Carlos Gomez after Matt Holliday broke a thumb in Thursday night’s game against Chicago, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch‘s Derrick Goold tweeted that St. Louis could be outbid by the New York Mets, who are also interested in Gomez.

The Red Sox had no ceremony honoring Alex Rodriguez in his final game at Fenway Park, so A-Rod gave himself a little farewell tour by stepping inside the Green Monster’s hand-operated scoreboard and grabbing a No. 13 to match his uniform number.
