Judge hasn’t needed to carry the Yankees, who are 7-2. They had allowed a paltry 15 runs on the season before a 7-6 loss to Miami on Sunday. Cam Schlittler has made two scoreless starts and New York ran wild against the Marlins — with even Giancarlo Stanton stealing a base.

JJ Wetherholt (2B - STL)
4/5/26 11:01 AM - Top 100 Hitters: Early Adjustments. The first week of the season is baseball’s favorite overreaction laboratory. A handful of games, a few loud swings, one well-timed call-up and suddenly the future feels like it is arriving all at once. This is where the Top 100 Hitter list starts to breathe. Because while veterans are still shaking off April timing and pitchers search for command, the kids do not want to wait. They have announced themselves with big-league at-bats that look like they have been doing this for years instead of days. JJ Wetherholt looks like a hitter who belongs in the middle of a lineup right now. The approach is calm, the barrel is on time, and the game slows down in a way you cannot fake. Kevin McGonigle has done what advanced hitters do with controlled at-bats, line drives to all fields, and the quiet confidence of someone who understands exactly who he is at the plate. Then there’s Chase DeLauter, whose early-season thunder feels less like a hot start and more like confirmation. The physicality, the leverage, the damage that can change a game. And just when the early season momentum was building, Konor Griffin arrived. This is what the first week is supposed to feel like. Not conclusions. Not final answers. Just flashes that hint at where the Top 100 is headed next. Because rankings in April aren’t about who’s finished climbing. They are about who just started running.

4/5/26 11:01 AM - Top 100 Hitters: Early Adjustments. The first week of the season is baseball’s favorite overreaction laboratory. A handful of games, a few loud swings, one well-timed call-up and suddenly the future feels like it is arriving all at once. This is where the Top 100 Hitter list starts to breathe. Because while veterans are still shaking off April timing and pitchers search for command, the kids do not want to wait. They have announced themselves with big-league at-bats that look like they have been doing this for years instead of days.

Jo Adell (OF - LAA)
4/5/26 4:06 AM - Jo Adell robs 3 homers in what Torii Hunter calls the `greatest defensive game I've ever seen'. You’ve done something special when Torii Hunter, a nine-time Gold Glove Award winner known for his acrobatic catches, calls what you just did “probably the greatest defensive game I’ve ever seen.” That was the praise Hunter heaped on the Los Angeles Angels’ Jo Adell after the right fielder made three homer-robbing catches, the last a spectacular leaping grab against J.P. Crawford while crashing into the seats near the right-field foul pole in the ninth inning, in a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night. Adell leaped high above the yellow line on the wall in straightaway right to deny Cal Raleigh in the first inning, and made a nearly identical catch to against Josh Naylor in the eighth.
