Red Sox unveil roster for Winter Warm-Up minicamp in Fort Myers; Triston Casas and Nick Yorke among prospects who will be in attendance

The Triple-A Worcester Red Sox have placed first baseman Triston Casas and right-hander Connor Seabold on the 7-day injured list. Casas was placed on the IL because of a sprained right ankle while Seabold was placed on the IL because of a pectoral strain. Since both Casas and Seabold’s stints...

After dazzling in his Triple-A debut at Polar Park last Wednesday, Bello was back at it again for the WooSox as they went up against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs at Coca-Cola Park on Tuesday night. Over six strong innings of work, the right-hander allowed just two earned runs while scattering...

The Red Sox have purchased the contract of right-hander Brett Kennedy from the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League, the team announced on Tuesday. Kennedy has been assigned to Double-A Portland. In six starts for the Ducks this season, Kennedy posted a 3.03 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with...

The New York Yankees need an offensive upgrade at multiple positions. The outfield contains two massive liabilities — Joey Gallo and Aaron Hicks. Both left field and centerfield have struggled on the offensive side. Joey Gallo has been the primary starter in left, with the position hosting a .182 batting average with six homers and 10 RBIs in total. Gallo himself is hitting .176 with five homers and seven RBIs, hosting a 37.8% strikeout rate.

A couple of weeks ago, I talked about a former Braves top prospect that fell out of favor with the organization, was traded, played in several different countries, and eventually made it back to the majors five years later. His name was Christian Bethancourt, who is now a member of the Athletics. That’s a name I never thought I would hear again when talking about Major League Baseball, and it’s what makes this game so amazing. There are stories like this in every organization, and I’ve found another involving another former top prospect for the Braves.

As the injuries pile up for the St. Louis Cardinals, another problem popped up yesterday. Yadier Molina, who has started hitting again and even made his pitching debut on Sunday, has been placed on the bereavement list. Luckily, he isn’t going to be away for very long and could return...

Despite now being without both Jack Flaherty and Steven Matz, the starting rotation of the St. Louis Cardinals has performed quite well, with Miles Mikolas, Adam Wainwright, and Dakota Hudson leading the way. Speaking of Flaherty, he has been out with a shoulder issue since the beginning of spring training.

Sometimes, for a ball to move super fast, it doesn’t have to be a pitch thrown by one of the hardest throwing pitchers in the league. Who’s to say it can’t come on an outfield assist?. That’s what happened yesterday during a game between the Philadelphia Phillies...

Houston Astros general manager James Click says that the team’s decision not to re-sign star shortstop Carlos Correa for 2022 was motivated by a priority in winning. Many baseball observers were stunned when Carlos Correa came to terms on a three-year, $105.3 million deal with the Minnesota Twins; not only because seeing the Twins make a big splash in free agency was a stunning development, but because the Astros actually let a homegrown All-Star walk.

Anytime there's a whisper of a rumor that a superstar might be able to be had, the Dodgers are always linked to the player. This week, anonymous MLB team executives stated that the Nationals could be "motivated" and "compelled" to trade Soto this summer. The report by ESPN's Buster Olney...

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts is in the midst of another huge season, slashing .323/.391/.456 with four home runs, 17 RBIs and 26 runs scored through 42 games. Barring injury, it looks like "X" could be on his way to his fourth All-Star campaign (and third in four seasons), while showcasing a plus-glove at one of the most important positions on the diamond as well.

It’s not a new storyline, but Franmil Reyes has had a rough season. He is batting just .195 and only has 12 RBI up to this point. The most concerning stat of all is his 57 strikeouts only a quarter through the season. But at one point will this...

Bryant -- who signed a seven-year contract with Colorado in March -- was placed on the 10-day IL with a back strain in April as well. Through 63 at-bats covering 17 games played in 2022, the four-time All-Star has collected 17 hits, 11 runs scored, four doubles and four RBIs.

Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker has quickly rebounded after a rocky couple weeks to begin the year, hitting .310/.402/.530 over the past month after getting out to a brutal .087/.192/.217 start through his first 13 games. That production only serves as a reminder that the 25-year-old is viewed as a building block in Houston. That fact is also backed up by the team’s apparent efforts to sign Tucker to a long-term extension. Mark Feinsand and Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reported recently that the ’Stros approached Tucker’s camp about an extension this year but talks proved unsuccessful and are not active at this time (Twitter link).

It's difficult to remember each and every single regular season game during a 162-game baseball season, but Dodgers fans won't soon forget when LA played Houston in 2020. There was plenty of tension when the two teams met after it came to light that Houston cheated the Dodgers out of the 2017 World Series championship.

Last week, New York Mets general manager Billy Eppler told reporters the club was "not going to set timelines" regarding the potential return of ace Jacob deGrom, who has missed the entire 2022 season to date with a stress reaction in the scapula of his pitching shoulder. While the Mets...

Former St. Louis Cardinals star infielder Matt Carpenter is joining the New York Yankees on a Major League contract, the team announced Thursday afternoon. Carpenter, 36, made his MLB debut with the Cardinals in 2011 and spent 11 seasons with the team. He became a free agent for the first time in 2022 when St. Louis declined to pick up the option on his contract.

The Baltimore Orioles haven’t been a complete trainwreck this year, as many of us expected them to be. However, they haven’t exactly been a good team either. The past couple of years have been rough ones in the Beltway area. It’s been since 2016 that they’ve made it...
