LOS ANGELES — During a months-long spiral at the plate, Teoscar Hernández tried to maintain his upbeat, convivial persona. But for much of the summer, before his September revival, it was difficult for the Dodgers’ fun-loving, seed-tossing veteran presence to look or feel like himself. "I try to stay positive and bring the same energy that you guys know and see everyday — smiling, making jokes," Hernández told me. "But […]

The New York Yankees returned right-handed pitcher Clarke Schmidt from his rehabilitation assignment and reinstated him from the injured list on Wednesday, aiming to integrate the 30-year-old into their bullpen for the postseason following his 14-month recovery from elbow surgery.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Jeremiah Jackson also went deep for the Orioles (74-78), who stayed three games behind Cleveland for the last American League playoff spot. Mayo snapped a […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers marked their record-tying 14th consecutive trip to MLB's postseason with a toast of bubbly after Monday night's 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The bigger celebrations will come later. "It’s hard to say it ever feels routine, but it is the expectation here," third baseman Max Muncy said.
