White Sox lose 7-2 to Brewers. The White Sox' lack of pitching depth hurt them in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers. In what was essentially a bullpen game for the Sox who had to navigate left-hander Martin Perez's turn in the rotation. Opener Tyler Gilbert and Bryse Wilson did well to mitigate the damage, holding the Brewers to one run over five innings. Joey Ortiz singled, and after a flyout by Jackson Chourio, Ortiz stole second base to get into scoring position.

Dodgers' bullpen has been tasked with a lot of heavy lifting so far. An already taxed Dodgers bullpen was asked to handle nine more innings on Tuesday night, adding to its workload as the busiest in the major leagues this season. Officially, the innings put in by left-hander Jack Dreyer will count in their total for the team's starters since the rookie “opened” the game on the mound. Add that to the busy postseason the Dodgers' relievers had in October and the level of concern is rising for what has proven to be a dependable group of pitchers. “When you start talking about World Series stuff, or going into the World Series, guys did some really heavy lifting,” pitching coach Mark Prior said.

Having allowed the Miami Marlins to sneak away with a sweep-preventing 7-5 victory at Citizens Bank Park on April 20, the Phillies promptly hit the road and were swept by the first-place Mets, then blanked last Friday in the series opener in Chicago. “We kind of got exposed a little bit,” Trea Turner said Tuesday before a series opener against the Washington Nationals. Indeed the Phillies bounced back in Chicago, taking down the hot Cubs on Saturday and Sunday night.

Struggles of Texas Rangers New First Baseman Look Worse As Former Star Shines. The Texas Rangers made a change at first base this offseason and the early returns have been mixed, while their former star player is doing great on his new team. One of the first major moves that the Rangers made this offseason was sending over a haul of prospects to the Miami Marlins for third baseman/designated hitter Jake Burger. With Burger on the roster and able to play first base, they decided to move on from Nathaniel Lowe and trade him to the Washington Nationals. It made some sense as Burger has been a solid slugger for this career and Lowe was set to hit free agency sooner.

How Ex-Red Sox Alex Verdugo Has Performed Since Call-Up. Former Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo has been making the most of his latest big league opportunity, now as a member of the Atlanta Braves. Verdugo spent most of free agency with cricket-silent interest generated after the 28-year-old's one-year run with the New York Yankees. Minimal traction took off with the Kansas City Royals and Pittsburgh Pirates linked to Verdugo, which allowed the Braves to swoop in and take a flier on a one-year minor league contract with Verdugo. There wasn't an immediate opening on the big league roster, but the timing proved to be perfect once Atlanta hit panic mode with 2024 All-Star Jurickson Profar.

Former Chicago Cubs Infielder Shares Controversial Quote After Trade to Rival. The Chicago Cubs have done some serious roster re-tooling over the course of the season as they figure out the best group to help them win. One of those moves before the season was selecting former Detroit Tigers infielding prospect Gage Workman from the Rule 5 draft. After slashing .214/.267/.286 and struggling on defense despite being a supposed defensive specialist, Chicago would designate Workman for assignment. Days later, the Cubs wound up trading him away, though Workman would not have to go far and was dealt across town to the Chicago White Sox.

The Blue Jays are waiting for pitchers to return to the mound, but Varsho's return is a much-needed bright spot. Varsho is at the end of his road to recovery from a rotator cuff injury.

Riley Greene Earns Eye-Opening AJ Hinch Take After 2-HR Game Vs. Astros. Riley Greene is one of the best players that the Detroit Tigers have, and his bat specifically was big last season for a Tigers team that struggled to produce runs. The Detroit offense has been looking much better to start the 2025 season, but Greene has struggled. On Monday night against the Houston Astros, Riley Greene showed what kind of hitter he can be. The Tigers lost the game 8-5, but it was still great to see Green find some success at the plate.

Padres 'Hopeful' Yu Darvish Will Return in May, Says Insider. The San Diego Padres aim to have Yu Darvish rejoin the team from the injured list in late May or early June, enhancing what is already one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. Darvish has been sidelined from the team since mid-March, when he experienced inflammation in his right elbow during spring training. Recently, the Japanese pitcher threw his first bullpen session since being sidelined and has reportedly been ramping up since then, according to MLB.com's Padres reporter AJ Cassavell. The next step for Darvish will be to face live hitters during a few minor league starts, though it may still take some time before he does so, depending on his progress and the urgency of the Padres' plans, he could be ramped up for a late May or early June return.

Red Sox resurgent $140 million star named one of baseball's biggest surprises. Once considered one of baseball's best all-around shortstops during his time with the Colorado Rockies, Trevor Story's first three years with the Boston Red Sox have been nothing short of a disaster. The then-29-year-old signed a six-year,$140 million contract with the Red Sox before the 2022 season in the hopes of forming one of baseball's best double-play combinations with Xander Bogaerts, but got off to a brutal start with a .194/.296/.269 line through his first 24 games. A three-homer game against the Mariners helped him get back on track, but then just as he and the Red Sox were heating up, an errant Corey Kluber fastball fractured his wrist and sidelined him for six weeks. The 2023 would see Story move back from second base to shortstop after Bogaerts signed with the San Diego Padres, but due to an internal brace procedure to clean up a lingering elbow injury, he wouldn't be able to take the field until August.

Detroit Tigers' Massive Bright Spot Provides Unlikely Offensive Boost. It has been a great start to the season for the Detroit Tigers, who have exceeded expectations early on. Coming into the year, the Tigers have new-found expectations after not only making the playoffs last campaign, but winning a series and coming within one game of making the American League Championship Series. Detroit was very active in free agency, bringing in multiple veterans to help out. For the pitching staff, notable additions like Jack Flaherty gave them a front-line starter to pair with Tarik Skubal, and Tommy Kahnle has been a great weapon late in games out of the bullpen.

Steven Okert, Bryan King, Bryan Abreu and closer Josh Hader combined to work three innings of scoreless relief and allowed one hit and one walk with five strikeouts.

Astros star Jose Altuve asks out of leadoff spot to have more time to get ready to hit.

He wanted more time to get ready to hit in the bottom of the first inning after coming into the dugout from left field. Altuve is playing left for the first time in his career after spending his first 14 major league seasons at second base. Altuve says, "I just need like 10 more seconds.” The 34-year-old Altuve made the transition to the outfield this season after the trade of Kyle Tucker and the departure of Alex Bregman shook up Houston’s lineup.

The trio of Graham Ashcraft, Tony Santillan, and Emilio Pagan did not allow a hit or walk a batter over three scoreless innings. Pagan picked up his eighth

The Cardinals have won two out of their last three games, though. For example, FanSided's Scott Plaza suggested that the team is "holding back" All-Star closer Ryan Helsley.

Guardians Add Fresh Arm To Bullpen In Latest Roster Moves. The Cleveland Guardians have been battling a thin and overworked bullpen over the last week, and Saturday's doubleheader only made the situation more dire, as the Guardians had to use a plethora to cover the 18.0 innings. Cleveland made a couple of roster moves on Monday to get a fresh arm into the bullpen for their upcoming series against the Minnesota Twins. The Guardians optioned LHP Joey Cantillo to Triple-A Columbus a day after he threw 55 pitches in Cleveland's blowout loss to the Boston Red Sox. Cantillo is a starting pitcher by nature but has pitched out of the bullpen so far this season.

Chicago Cubs Top Prospect Starting To Rake in Minor Leagues After Rough Stretch. The Chicago Cubs made a controversial move earlier this month which may now be proving to have been the right call. After top prospect Matt Shaw made the Opening Day roster as the team's starting third baseman, the hopes to see him break onto the scene as a rookie from fans were high. During the first 18 games of his MLB career, Shaw had a slash line of .172/.294/.241 with one home run, three RBI and just 10 hits. When a rookie -- especially a high-profile one -- is struggling like this, it's always a debate as to whether to let him work things out in the Major Leagues or to send him back down and allow him to regain a rhythm.

Phillies are trade deadline fit for 453-save four-time All-Star, MLB writer claims.

Jordan Romano hasn't worked out in the closer role, and José Alvarado, though he's five-for-five in save opportunities so far, has an uneven career track record. It would be no surprise to see the Phillies pursue a more experienced closer at the trade deadline. Last season, the Phillies nabbed closer Carlos Estévez from the Los Angeles Angels at the deadline, and the veteran righty was very good in Philadelphia--right up until he gave up the grand slam to Francisco Lindor that sunk the Phillies' postseason battleship.

However, he was a huge reason why the Sox tasted defeat. A baserunning gaffe made by Vaughn in the sixth inning cost the White Sox the chance to break a 1-1 tie. Then the Pale Hose finally got the lead in the 10th with the opportunity to pour on more runs, and Vaughn grounded into an inning-ending double

Mets prospect throws fastest pitch in Baseball so far this season. The New York Mets have a lot of intriguing pitchers in their farm system that could be making their big league debuts in the coming years. While most fans have paid attention to the likes of Brandon Sproat and Nolan McLean, the Mets have another exciting arm pitching for Low-A St. Lucie that most fans haven't heard of.

WVU Product Ryan Bergert Pitches Clean Inning in Major League Debut. It has not been a straight path to the big leagues for right-handed pitcher Ryan Bergert. The end of his career at West Virginia didn't go as he had hoped, with the 2020 season coming to a screeching halt due to the pandemic, and then in 2021, he underwent Tommy John surgery, which put him on the shelf for several months. Despite the unfortunate ending to his tenure in Morgantown, Bergert was still selected in the sixth round of the 2021 MLB First-Year Player Draft. After three years and some change in the San Diego Padres' farm system, Bergert got the call-up to the show.

Blue Jays manager sounds alarm on Max Scherzer injury news. The Toronto Blue Jays might look back on the 2025 season and call it a success, regardless of the record books. The team was able to lock in homegrown superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a $500 million contract and that could be a major win if he continues to elevate his production for years to come. First and foremost, the Blue Jays will have to forge a healthy starting rotation. Scherzer has been on the injured list since late March with a thumb problem and still seems a long way off from contributing.

Phillies closer makes major change before extra-innings heroics at Cubs. Despite a winning record to start the season, the Philadelphia Phillies have been under some pressure. Facing what could be a final year to win with his current core of veteran stars, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski was grilled about his offseason decisions as the team's bullpen struggled mightily across the first 25 games. After Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estévez departed for new deals and closer addition Jordan Romano looked out of sorts on the mound, Dombrowski was forced to address his thinking last week. Entering the bottom of the tenth inning with a two-run lead for the Phillies, Romano suddenly looked like the closer the Phillies had been hoping for as he forced a ground ball, flyball and logged a strikeout to shut the door.

Cardinals Cutting Ties With Phenom For Now Down To Minors. The St. Louis Cardinals recently made a somewhat surprising decision to keep young infielder Thomas Saggese on the big league roster despite both Masyn Winn and Nolan Gorman. The surprising part of that decision to keep him in St. Louis had nothing to do with his performance. The surprising part was that there wasn't going to be as much time to go around for him to have an everyday opportunity with Winn and Gorman now healthy. It sounds like the Cardinals are looking more in that direction now as they optioned him to the minors on Sunday in favor of infielder Jose Barrero, according to MLB.com's John Denton.

Game 27 - Six-Run Fourth Inning Propels Phils to Victory. One Sentence Summary: Jesus Luzardo continued to impress and Max Kepler had his biggest game yet with his new club, as the Phillies downed the Cubs, 10-4. What Happened: Luzardo improved to 3-0, allowing three hits and two unearned runs in six innings of work, while striking out five. A costly error by Trea Turner led to the unearned runs in the fifth. This was the sequence in the big fourth inning - Kyle Schwarber was hit by a pitch, Nick Castellanos singled, J.T. Realmuto singled, Kepler singled, scoring Schwarber.

Yankees Devin Williams offers 4-word response to losing closer role. The New York Yankees are off to a strong start behind a new-look roster for 2025, though some additions haven't panned out as hoped. Free agent signing Max Fried has been even better than expected, posting a 1.43 ERA across five wins in his first six starts. Then there is Cody Bellinger, who arrived via trade from the Chicago Cubs to the tune of a -0.1 WAR so far. After three straight sub-2.00 ERA seasons, Williams has been hit for a 11.25 ERA in his first eight innings with the Yankees, prompting manager Aaron Boone to remove him from the closer role before the team's Sunday matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays.

How Yankees' Luke Weaver used World Series low point to fuel perfect start to this season. Of all the clutch moments and big-time performances from Luke Weaver during his stint as the Yankees' closer last fall, the right-hander learned the most from one of his club's lowest points in the playoffs. After the disastrous events that unfolded in the fifth inning of Game 5 in the World Series, it was Weaver who was on the mound when the Dodgers tied the game and retook the lead in the eighth. Weaver, who is back to closing games for the Yankees after Devin Williams' well-deserved demotion, had entered with the bases loaded and nobody out in relief of Tommy Kahnle. Kahnle was responsible for those runners, so he was charged with the earned runs and the loss.

Might Red Sox' longterm closer be their adaptable 'strike thrower' up to 98.5 mph?. Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman is 16th all-time in saves with 339, just two behind Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers (341). Chapman thinks teammate Justin Slaten can do the job for a long time, too. “He has the ability to do it,” Chapman said through translator Carlos Villoria Benítez here at Progressive Field. The Red Sox have to look no further than their 2025 roster for their closer in 2026 and beyond.

Yankees rookie has unforgettable night, but he's more than feel-good story. J.C. Escarra repeated it back to himself, standing in the Yankees' clubhouse on Sunday night. Maybe it was Escarra's way of pinching himself, making sure the ball he was holding was real and that the 415-foot moonshot he crushed to the bleachers in right-center an hour or so earlier wasn't a figment of his imagination. After all, Escarra had been dreaming about his first big-league home run — while wearing pinstripes — for as long as he can remember. Unless you're Bryce Harper or Paul Skenes, even the highest-ranked prospects and first-round draft picks spend years in the minor leagues.

Nationals Notebook: Walk-off wins wowing Washington. Over 162 games, they will almost definitely post more wins than a Nats team that hasn't recorded a winning season since 2019. Sunday afternoon, Abrams scored on a throwing error in the ninth inning to give the Nats an 8-7 win after they trailed by six runs. Digesting the Division: The New York Mets (19-9) might not be getting great production from Juan Soto (.248 with 12 RBI), but Pete Alonso more than makes up for that with 26 RBI in 29 games. Philadelphia (15-13) got swept by the Mets this past week in an early-season barometer for both clubs.
