CC Sabathia saw many ceremonies honoring former players during 11 seasons with the New York Yankees and never envisioned he would be an honoree. Sabathia became the 24th player or manager to get his number retired and the Hall of Fame left-hander was honored with a plaque in Monument Park during a ceremony before a doubleheader opener against Baltimore on Friday. Sabathia joined Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and […]

It's happening again! The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will face off in the 2026 MLB Wild Card Series for a second consecutive year, as Boston's Friday afternoon victory over the Chicago Cubs secured its spot as the No. 2 American League wild-card seed; New York secured the No. 1 AL wild-card seed earlier in the week. Game 1 of the three-game set will come on Sept. 29, […]

Mother Nature prevails … again. For the second time in two days, the Boston Red Sox are adjusting their schedule, moving the start of the second game of Friday’s doubleheader with the Chicago Cubs up by a half-hour because of concerns about an impending storm that’s expected to bring heavy rains and high wind gusts to the Boston area. The first pitch for Game 2 is moving from 6:05 p.m. […]

It's pretty easy to make a Hall of Fame case for Justin Verlander, the 21-year veteran whose final start of his career comes on Saturday for the Tigers. He's won three American League Cy Young awards and an AL Most Valuable Player award, was named to the All-Star team in half his years in the majors after his first full-season campaign in 2006, and has missed more bats than almost […]

Three days remain in MLB's regular-season schedule. Nine of 14 teams have clinched their spot in the postseason with five spots up for grabs. But it's never too early for predictions. FOX Sports' Dontrelle "D-Train" Willis and Eric Karros shared their opinion on how the 2026 MLB playoffs will play out. Eric Karros' American League Karros: Yankees "The Yankees will move on because of their starting pitching. It's as good as […]

The Brewers won their 100th game of the season on Thursday with a 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, the first-ever time that Milwaukee has reached the 100-win mark. Before the 2026 season, the Brewers had not even won 99 games in a season before, nor 98 – Milwaukee reached those figures on Wednesday and Sunday, respectively, setting a new franchise record each time. The elusive 100 has now been […]

This week, Brewers flamethrower and National League Cy Young favorite Jacob Misiorowski will conclude one of the most overpowering, unhittable seasons ever recorded by a starting pitcher. No qualified starter in modern baseball history has ever surrendered a lower opponent’s batting average than what Misiorowski is allowing now (.159). Take away the shortened 2020 season, and only one starter — Gerrit Cole in 2019 — has ever generated a higher […]

The Cincinnati Reds visit the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, September 24, 2026 at 7:15 p.m. ET from Truist Park, Atlanta, GA, in the finale of their three game series.

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton could return for the playoffs after a 5 1/2-month absence due to calf strains. Stanton faced pitchers Wednesday at Double-A Somerset along with center fielder Trent Grisham, sidelined since straining his right hamstring on Sept. 4. Both ran the bases and Stanton homered while taking six or seven at-bats. "Putting them on the outskirts of the conversation," New York manager Aaron Boone, bothered by a cold, […]
