Stott and Realmuto homer, Walker makes a slick play as the Phillies win 8-6 to sweep the Padres. Bryson Stott hit two two-run homers, J.T. Realmuto also connected and Taijun Walker made a slick behind-the-back catch in his season debut to help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 8-6 for their first road sweep of the season. The Phillies overwhelmed the Padres with nine homers and terrific starting pitching in becoming the first team to sweep San Diego this year. The Padres haven’t seemed to recover from blowing a late five-run lead at Colorado on Thursday and losing 10-9. Although they briefly had the lead Sunday, the Padres lost their season-high fourth straight game.

Mets' strong start is better than it looks and deserves fans' attention. The Mets unveiled their City Connect uniforms over the weekend, and although the team hasn't quite connected with the fans of this great city yet, it should. And it will. The team from Queens was only 19th in attendance heading into Sunday's great win, and they truly deserve better. Some of it's the weather, which generally has ranged from dismal to crummy (Sunday was a rare exception), but a lot of it is likely a wait-and-see mindset in what's been advertised as a transitional year before the big player personnel push that's expected in the winter of 2024-25. 3 Francisco Lindor hits a home run during the Mets' win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

LaMonte Wade Jr.'s sacrifice fly scored Tyler Fitzgerald with the third run of the inning. San Francisco hit multiple homers in a home game for just the second time this season, matching the blasts by Jung Hoo Lee and Patrick Bailey against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 20.

Cardinals come within one strike of sweep before falling to Mets in 11 innings.

Former Cardinal Harrison Bader kept all that from happening, however, with an RBI single on an 0-2 pitch from Matthew Liberatore that tied Sunday's game in the 11th inning in New York. The Cardinals were then one strike away from extending the game to the 12th, but Mark Vientos hit a 1-2 pitch from Liberatore over a leaping Michael Siani, just clearing the wall in right-center for the walk-off home run.

IronPigs' topsy-turvy first month capped by disappointing home loss. Weston Wilson's season so far could be summed up with two plays in this week's home series against Charlotte. The first one came in the third inning Thursday when Wilson hit a grounder down the first-base line that was ruled foul. Wilson's grounder to short with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th Sunday afternoon was flipped to second base for the final out in a 6-3 loss even though Lehigh Valley teammate Scott Kingery beat the throw. Wilson had one of the heartwarming stories in recent IronPigs/Phillies history when he homered in his major league debut last August.

Dodgers head to Arizona – but not with revenge on their minds. The Dodgers are returning to the scene of the crime, where their chances of a deep playoff run were stolen by the Arizona Diamondbacks last October. “No. We gotta focus on ourselves,” Max Muncy said. Facing the Diamondbacks has no extra meaning or motivation, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts agreed. The Dodgers' billion-dollar binge to add Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Teoscar Hernandez and James Paxton over the winter has put last year's National League Division Series thoroughly in the rear-view mirror for the Dodgers.

Hitter Profiles: To Buy Or Not to Buy…. It is time for one of our favorite traditions here with hitter profiles as we debate early season performance and identify some buy or sell candidates at current ownership rates. This week, we will dig through a few of the leaderboards trying to find players with hot starts and figure out if we have struck gold or are simply fools in waiting. With all of the injuries so far this season, owners are rushing to fill lineup holes and anybody that is off to a hot start may seem like a lineup mainstay when they should really be trade bait. Last season, we had a Matt Chapman return to glory only to scuttle for much of the year. On the flip side, James Outman was able to sustain the results all season providing a huge lift for fantasy owners that jumped on the train early. Let’s dive into three intriguing players as we close out the first month of the 2024 fantasy baseball season.

4/28/24 7:01 AM -
Diamondbacks look to wake up bats against stingy Mariners. Corbin Carroll was undoubtedly hoping a homecoming would help him break out of his sophomore slump. The Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder, who was a unanimous selection as the National League's Rookie of the Year last season, was hitless in a 3-1 loss at streaking Seattle on Saturday night as his batting average fell below .200. Manager Torey Lovullo dropped Carroll, who normally bats second in the Diamondbacks' order, into the No. 8 spot Saturday for the first time since his initial September 2022 call-up to the major leagues. Carroll had more than 80 friends and family members in the stands for his first regular-season appearance in his hometown Friday.

Phillies' Taijuan Walker to make season debut vs. struggling Padres. The veteran right-hander gets his first start of the year Sunday for the Philadelphia Phillies as they try to complete a road sweep of the San Diego Padres. Walker joins a rotation that has been as good as any in baseball during the season's first month. Aaron Nola and Ranger Suarez have keyed 9-3 and 5-1 wins in the series' first two games with eight-inning outings, continuing a trend that has helped Philadelphia start 18-10 and post a National League-low staff earned run average of 3.26.

San Francisco Giants Could Use Top Prospect as Blake Snell's Injury Replacement After the San Francisco Giants' new ace picked up an injury, they could turn to one of their top prospects as his replacement. Author: Brad Wakai Apr 27, 2024 In this story: San Francisco Giants MLB Blake Snell Mason Black With the San Francisco Giants looking to get back into the playoffs this year, they overhauled their roster in the offseason to get more impact players on their team. They upgraded multiple spots in their lineup and were able to sign reigning NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell to a much cheaper contract than what was predicted at the start of the winter when they handed him a two-year, $62 million deal.

4/27/24 1:00 PM -
Cubs' Shota Imanaga just did something no pitcher has done since World War II. Ferriss, who made his big league debut with the Boston Red Sox in 1945, notched back-to-back All-Star appearances in his first two seasons in the league, amassing 46 wins and 538 2/3 innings - both staggering numbers by today's standards - in the process. The right-hander finished his rookie campaign with a 21-10 mark, 2.96 ERA and a fourth-place finish in MVP voting. Unfortunately, Ferriss' playing career lasted just six years - but it was an eventful run. In addition to his standout rookie performance and two All-Star selections, he also made a pair of starts in the 1946 World Series against the Cardinals, allowing just three runs over 13 1/3 innings of work.

Brice Turang: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Players. Welcome back, friends, to another week of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players. Last week I talked about Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio. I'm liking Milwaukee so much that I have decided to stick with the Brewers and talk about second baseman Brice Turang.
Selected with the 21st overall pick in the 2018 draft out of high school, Turang was playing in Triple-A by 2021 at the age of 21 as the club aggressively pushed him through the system. A left-handed hitter, Turang spent all of the 2022 season at Triple-A Nashville, slashing .286/.360/.412 with 13 homers, 78 RBI and 34 steals while only being caught stealing twice. The homers and RBI were career highs.
Turang started the 2023 season back at Nashville but was there for only 15 games before the Brewers recalled him. He spent the rest of the season with Milwaukee, appearing in 137 games and slashing a not-so-thrilling .218/.285/.300. Those are not the numbers of a player who is an up-and-coming dynasty player.
But I think he is a player to target. Let's examine why.

At the current moment, Phillies star Nick Castellanos is in a slump, but maybe Friday's win over the San Diego Padres could be the start of something great for the 32-year old. It was a great day for the Phillies offense as they beat the Padres, 9-3, where five people hit home runs including Castellanos who hit his first one of the season as he has played in 27 games so far. “Anytime that you get confidence, that you have results, that just builds you up a little bit,” Castellanos said.

The 30-year-old received a new contract with the Dodgers because of his upside and raw stuff he brings to the rotation. Since 2018, Glasnow has the fourth-highest strikeouts per nine innings, fourth-lowest batting average allowed and 11th-best FIP among qualified starters. “I think with Tyler, considering he came from the Rays, there's a lot of things we think a lot alike and see things pretty similarly,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts recently said.
