Sox's Silent Bats Doomed in 3-2 Setback at Busch Stadium

Boston’s offense stayed quiet in a 3-2 loss to the Cardinals in St. Louis. The top of the order contributed little (Duran and Durban 0-for), Willson Contreras delivered a golden sombrero and even lost an ABS challenge, Connor Connelly Early wasn’t sharp and the Sox bullpen couldn’t bail him out, while Dustin May looked like a breakout star on the mound for the Cardinals. The lone bright moment came from a productive baserunning play that brought a run.

Braves erupt for 11-5 win to start series; Murphy rehab delayed

Atlanta rode a 15-hit breakout to an 11-5 series-opening win over Cleveland, with Acuña Jr., Olson and Harris II homering as the offense came alive. Bryce Elder allowed two runs in 4.2 innings and the bullpen yielded three in the eighth, but Atlanta claimed the victory and moved to 1-0 in City Connect jerseys. Sean Murphy’s rehab start with Gwinnett was delayed due to a family matter. The recap also touches on minor-league notes and other MLB injury news.

Cubs Plot Gentle Return for Seiya Suzuki

The Cubs will ease Seiya Suzuki back into the lineup after his knee injury sustained during the World Baseball Classic, using depth in right field and at DH (Matt Shaw, Michael Conforto, Moises Ballesteros) to manage his ramp-up. Suzuki is expected to appear in roughly two of every three games initially, with rotations and occasional rest days to protect him, and should return to near daily usage once he’s fully healthy.

Soroka's 10 Ks spark Diamondbacks' dramatic 5-4 comeback over Phillies

The Arizona Diamondbacks erased a 4-0 deficit against Philadelphia, scoring five runs in the fifth inning to edge the Phillies 5-4. Mike Soroka struck out 10 over 5 2/3 innings for the win, and Paul Sewald closed it out for his fourth save after Philly’s early lead vanished. Jesús Luzardo took the loss for Philadelphia, which struck out 16 times, while Arizona’s offense rallied with Ketel Marte’s two-RBI single, Ildemaro Vargas’ RBI, and J. C. McCann’s two-run double to seize the comeback win.

A’s Shorthanded as Rooker Lands on IL, Gelof Recalled

Oakland placed Brent Rooker on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain and recalled Zack Gelof to take his spot, creating more flexibility for DH and lineup rotations as Rooker’s slow start continues and Gelof eyes increased at-bats in the outfield/second base; obliques can linger, but Rooker’s prior power suggests the A’s hope to weather the loss.

Pirates Bet Big on a Teen: Griffin’s $140M Pact Sparks a Week of Weird Baseball

This Weird & Wild column centers on 19-year-old Konnor Griffin signing a nine-year, $140 million contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates—making him the youngest player to land a guaranteed $100M+ deal and signaling a bright future for the franchise. The piece also crowds the page with bizarre MLB moments, from a one-ball walk to a pitcher facing 11 hitters in two innings with no balls put in play, along with other oddities and notable notes (Cabrera’s strong Cubs debut, Mason Miller’s era of dominance, and a Ramirez franchise-games milestone) that underscore baseball’s ongoing blend of drama and the surreal.

Suzuki Back in the Cubs’ Fold as Pirates Series Kicks Off; Skenes Not Listed as Starter

Seiya Suzuki is back in the Cubs’ lineup as they host the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-game series at Wrigley Field, while Paul Skenes is not listed as a probable starter for any of the games. The series features a hot-start Nico Hoerner and will rely on a three-game pitching plan — Shota Imanaga vs Carmen Mlodzinski, Edward Cabrera vs Braxton Ashcraft, and Jameson Taillon vs Bubba Chandler — with lineup adjustments and injuries noted as Chicago aims to climb above .500.

Penner duo join Rockies as largest minority partners, expanding Denver sports footprint

Greg and Carrie Penner have become significant minority partners in the Colorado Rockies through Penner Sports Group, taking about 40% and becoming the franchise’s largest minority investors while the Monforts remain majority owners. MLB approved the deal, and the investment—described as several hundred million dollars based on the Rockies’ $1.68 billion valuation—will help retire debt and fund on-field and fan-experience improvements. The move follows the Penners’ success with the Broncos and expands their cross-sport influence in Denver, with no day-to-day roles at the Rockies for now.

Hot Start Sparks Optimism for Jordan Walker in 2026

Hot Start Sparks Optimism for Jordan Walker in 2026

Jordan Walker opened 2026 with a breakout-like stretch for the Cardinals, slashing .295/.367/.682 with 5 homers in 49 plate appearances and a 191 wRC+, supported by strong underlying metrics like a .320 BABIP, high barrel rate, and improved walk rate. While the small sample size warrants caution, the data so far look more encouraging than his previous seasons, though his 28.6% strikeout rate remains a red flag. A MLBTR poll asks readers whether this hot start is real, a solid regular, or just a mirage, with early results hinting at optimism but not certainty.
