MLB’s new scheduling has been a boon for teams in the AL East, taking advantage of more games outside their gantlet of a division.

Baseball’s revamped scheduling has been a boon for teams in the AL East, taking advantage of more games outside their gantlet of a division.

Trevor Bauer pitched his first official game in just over 22 months after the Dodgers released him following claims of sexual assault.

In a massive boost to the Phillies, two-time MVP Bryce Harper will be activated, likely for Tuesday’s game in LA barely five months after elbow surgery.

St. Louis, the defending NL Central champion, stumbled through April and find themselves in the division’s basement.

Pirates are off to 20-9 start, the best record in the National League. “We’re fast, we’re dynamic,” says new $100 million man Bryan Reynolds.

Preliminary signs indicate MLB might be standing firm against decades of loss capped by a stadium-shutting pandemic.

The Pirates are off to a 16-7 start, their best since the 1992 club of Barry Bonds and  Doug Drabek and Co. won 16 of their first 22.

The Athletics stopped caring about Oakland a few years ago as a new stadium never materialized in the Bay Area.

The Rays can go for a record 14-0 start on Friday at Toronto when they open a three-game series at Rogers Centre.
