Daulton Varsho (OF - TOR)
4/30/25 2:38 AM -
Toronto Gold Glove OF Varsho makes stunning, backhanded catch in season debut against Boston. Daulton Varsho and his Gold Glove defense are back in the Toronto Blue Jays’ outfield. Hours after being activated off the injured list, Varsho turned in a highlight-reel catch at the base of the wall in center field in his season debut. Varsho was retreating to the wall in center on a one-out drive by Boston’s Jarren Duran in the fourth inning Tuesday night when he lost his balance as he reached the warning track, falling and rolling over. Able to get back up on one knee — and with his back turned to home plate — Varsho had the presence of mind to stick out his glove and make a remarkable catch.

Adolis Garcia and Wyatt Langford both had a three-RBI double in the sixth inning as the Texas Rangers broke out of their scoring slump in a huge way in a 15-2 win over the Athletics on Tuesday in the second of a four-game American League West series in Arlington, Texas. The collective sigh that was heard out of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex was created by the Rangers' highest scoring game of the season - by far. Texas' biggest scoring output of 2025 had come in an 8-5 win versus the Athletics on the road on April 22; the Rangers matched that in just the sixth inning when they stepped on home plate eight times, breaking open a contest they already led 4-0 before waltzing to the win.

Twins' top prospect Walker Jenkins can't shake nagging ankle injury. If Walker Jenkins is going to rise fast through the Minnesota Twins' farm system, he's going to need his ankle to start cooperating. On Tuesday, the Twins revealed negative news on the club's No. 1 prospect, saying Jenkins will be out through at least the end of May due to lingering ankle soreness. Jenkins received a cortisone injection in his left ankle — the ankle that he sprained during spring training and then played two games and had eight at-bats at Double-A Wichita before being shut down because of discomfort in the ankle. Jenkins missed the first two months of last season at Class A after suffering a hamstring injury on Opening Day.

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 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.

Guardians Star Slammed With Scathing Take Amid Shocking Start. Heading into the 2025 MLB campaign, the Cleveland Guardians' one sure thing in the starting rotation appeared to be Tanner Bibee. After all, Bibee was brilliant over the first couple of years of his career and was the primary reason why the Guardians' paltry starting pitching didn't keep them out of the playoffs last year. Not surprisingly, Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller has listed Bibee among the biggest busts of the MLB season to date.

Alex Bregman (3B - BOS)
4/29/25 10:00 AM -
Red Sox 'Most Impactful Signing' Might Surprisingly Opt Out After 2025. The Boston Red Sox have one of the best infielders in Major League Baseball, but they might need to give him another payday after the season to keep him around. Boston's offense is one of MLB's best through the first month of the season. A huge reason why is third baseman Alex Bregman, who leads the Red Sox in batting average (.319), RBI (22), total hits (37), and OPS (.937). On Monday, Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer ranked Bregman as the No. 1 third baseman in baseball while also wondering whether Bregman's awesome production could lead to the 31-year-old opting out of his contract with the Red Sox after the season.

Trevor Story (SS - BOS)
4/29/25 9:04 AM -
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.

Red Sox 'Future Star' Shockingly Ranked No. 2 Player At Position In MLB. The Boston Red Sox have a young star excelling in 2025, but is he already a top two player at his position in all of Major League Baseball? It seems a tad premature to bestow such a lofty honor on a 22-year-old with less than 100 big-league at-bats to his name, but that's just what Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer did on Tuesday. Rymer ranked the top 10 MLB players at each position, and when it came to second basemen, Rymer surprisingly had Red Sox phenom Kristian Campbell ranked No. 2 ahead of guys like Milwaukee Brewers' Brice Turang (No. 3) and Los Angeles Dodgers' Tommy Edman (No. 5).

On April 19, Chapman threw a ball 102.3 MPH, which is the fastest record pitch in Red Sox history, according to the Boston Globe's Peter Abraham.

Hunter Brown (P - HOU)

Astros get bad news on future with ace amid 1.22 ERA. The Houston Astros are very lucky to have Hunter Brown on their side this season. The 26-year-old has been dominant in the early stages of the campaign, throwing the baseball at an elite level with his 1.22 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. Brown, who is arbitration-eligible in 2026 but doesn't hit free agency until 2029, is someone the Astros want to keep around on a potential extension before he hits free agency. Brown is blossoming into one of the best pitchers in baseball, someone who would be better served to await a nine-figure payday in free agency than risk losing money on an in-season extension.

Duran, who has been very outspoken about his battles with mental health, had an incident with a fan at Progressive Field on Sunday afternoon. The fan was ejected for making an unacceptable remark at the star outfielder, who opened up about his 2022 suicide attempt in the Red Sox's new Netflix docuseries. The fan targeting Duran didn't sit well with Aaron Judge, who got to know the 28-year-old a bit more last summer when they were 2024 American League All-Star teammates.

The front office went full throttle over the winter to bring in Garrett Crochet, Walker Buehler, Alex Bregman, Aroldis Chapman and others, with a return to the playoffs firmly in sight. As a result, some fans are urging the team to call up their best prospects, including Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer.

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.

It is bad business. Bad for my egomania. Just bad. But if you are a Yankees fan, I do think you should seriously consider if you want to cross this paragraph to the next. Because what is about to follow is an argument for why the Yankees need DJ LeMahieu to return as a competent, healthy player. Now before anyone initiates a sanity check on me, notice that I did not write that I expect LeMahieu to be a competent, healthy player. I would say the chances of that are no better than 15-20 percent. And I did

Astros star Jose Altuve asks out of leadoff spot to have more time to get ready to hit. Jose Altuve asked manager Joe Espada to move him out of the leadoff spot and into the second hole for the Houston Astros. The reason? 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 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.
