The week ahead promises plenty of drama as multiple division-leaders go head-to-head and Ichiro Suzuki chases history. Chad Thornburg 7/31/2016 11:00 P.M. 1470020412 http://ift.tt/2aVCzTK Sun, 31 Jul 2016 02:51:13 EDT http://ift.tt/2aVCzTK With the Cubs' impressive collection of talent, it's easy to overlook just how good Anthony Rizzo has been in recent years. 7/31/2016 2:51 A.M. 1469947873 http://ift.tt/1Pok35W Wed, 27 Jul 2016 23:54:51 EDT http://ift.tt/1Pok35W Check out MLBPipeline.com's updated Top 100 list for the 2016 season, including breakdowns by team and position. 7/27/2016 11:54 P.M. 1469678091 http://ift.tt/2ak1bFD Sun, 31 Jul 2016 20:54:14 EDT http://ift.tt/2ak1bFD Wil Myers of the Padres caught Reds pitcher Homer Bailey with his back to the place in the sixth inning, stealing home for the Padres second run of the game.

Greg Johns and Carrie Muskat 7/31/2016 9:19 P.M. 1470014351 http://ift.tt/2aqD4qd Mon, 1 Aug 2016 14:30:10 EDT http://ift.tt/2aqD4qd Jim Johnson's recent return to vintage form has earned the Braves right-hander National League Player of the Week honors.

With one of the oldest teams in baseball, their 2017 and 2018 didn't look any brighter. So they've changed course this summer, trading coveted relievers for blue-chip prospects as they look more toward the future and present. Jim Callis 7/31/2016 5:46 P.M. 1470001584 http://ift.tt/2aUpmdy Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:03:55 EDT http://ift.tt/2aUpmdy After watching a two-run lead disappear in bizarre fashion in the eighth inning, Derek Dietrich responded with a two-out walk-off triple to left-center that lifted the Marlins to a 5-4 win over the Cardinals on Sunday at Marlins Park. Joe Frisaro and Jenifer Langosch 7/31/2016 12:04 P.M. 1469981051 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 22:30:14 EDT Werth holds Bochy gnome hostage in dugout Matt Monagan 7/31/2016 10:30 P.M. 1470018614 http://ift.tt/2apWgEG Sun, 31 Jul 2016 13:22:22 EDT http://ift.tt/2apWgEG The Indians have been staring at a chance to seize the moment. Cleveland did precisely that on Sunday with the acquisition of elite reliever Andrew Miller, shaking off the perception that clinging to prospects takes priority over going all in, and showing that a World Series trophy is the clear focus now. Jordan Bastian 7/30/2016 11:50 P.M. 1469937000 http://ift.tt/2aV6knJ Mon, 1 Aug 2016 02:23:15 EDT http://ift.tt/2aV6knJ Travis Wood showed he can pitch and he can play left field. Carrie Muskat 7/31/2016 10:35 P.M. 1470018914 http://ift.tt/2aa6gmF Sun, 31 Jul 2016 23:27:47 EDT http://ift.tt/2aa6gmF The Orioles finally got the lefty starter they wanted. Baltimore struck a deal to help aid a struggling rotation, adding left-hander Wade Miley from the Mariners in exchange for pitching prospect Ariel Miranda on Sunday night. The move, which comes on the heels of the club dropping two of three games in Toronto, should help the O's improve their starting pitching. Brittany Ghiroli 7/31/2016 6:45 P.M. 1470005136 http://ift.tt/2aHmSCV Sun, 31 Jul 2016 21:42:03 EDT http://ift.tt/2aHmSCV Dustin Pedroia and Xander Bogaerts hit back-to-back homers to cap a five-run ninth inning as the Red Sox stormed back against Angels closer Huston Street for a 5-3 win in Sunday's series finale at Angel Stadium. Fabian Ardaya and Ian Browne 7/31/2016 7:22 P.M. 1470007352 http://ift.tt/2aJcYOt Sun, 31 Jul 2016 17:49:59 EDT http://ift.tt/2aJcYOt The Orioles rallied to salvage the finale of their three-game series, and took back sole possession of first place in the American League East with a 6-2, 12-inning win over the Blue Jays on Sunday at Rogers Centre. Alykhan Ravjiani and Brittany Ghiroli 7/31/2016 7:54 P.M. 1470009270 http://ift.tt/2ak409Q Sun, 31 Jul 2016 21:45:44 EDT http://ift.tt/2ak409Q Matt Cain was denied another chance at baseball immortality by being removed after five no-hit innings Sunday. But the right-hander achieved posterity by becoming the sixth pitcher to win 100 games for San Francisco since the franchise moved west in 1958, as he earned the decision in the Giants' 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals. Jamal Collier and Chris Haft 7/31/2016 6:58 P.M. 1470005905 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:45:54 EDT Bumgarner, Samardzija are offensive stars of the game Matt Monagan 7/31/2016 6:45 P.M. 1470005154 http://ift.tt/2ajQItT Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:37:23 EDT http://ift.tt/2ajQItT Hours after the Indians fortified their roster for the stretch run by acquiring Andrew Miller, the Tigers continued to apply pressure, using a six-run first inning off reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel to complete a three-game sweep of the Astros with an 11-0 win Sunday at Comerica Park. Jason Beck and Brian McTaggart 7/31/2016 3:16 P.M. 1469992562 http://ift.tt/2aocldR Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:31:33 EDT http://ift.tt/2aocldR After he was hit by a pitch in the sixth inning, Troy Tulowitzki has a small chip fracture in his thumb, manager John Gibbons said after Toronto's 6-2 loss to Baltimore on Sunday, and the team will evaluate the shortstop on Monday to see how he feels and if he can grip a bat. Alykhan Ravjiani 7/31/2016 3:21 P.M. 1469992898 http://ift.tt/2ak475p Mon, 1 Aug 2016 10:34:14 EDT http://ift.tt/2ak475p For years, shouts of "Luuuuuc" have rained down regularly from the Miller Park faithful, but Sunday may have been the final time. Curt Hogg 7/31/2016 7:10 P.M. 1470006642 http://ift.tt/2anbIOg Sun, 31 Jul 2016 19:00:46 EDT http://ift.tt/2anbIOg July has been a tough stretch for the Rangers, but they finished the month on a high note by completing a four-game sweep of the Royals with a 5-3 win on Sunday afternoon at Globe Life Park. Jeffrey Flanagan and Ryan Posner 7/31/2016 1:48 P.M. 1469987293 http://ift.tt/2aFZnKy Sun, 31 Jul 2016 00:39:01 EDT http://ift.tt/2aFZnKy Mark Melancon may be the guy who opens the floodgates. That is, if the floodgates really are going to open as we approach Monday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline. Sometimes, they never do. This time, though, there's likely to be a flurry of deals beginning, well, any moment. Options abound. Richard Justice 7/30/2016 9:39 P.M. 1469929196 http://ift.tt/2aTWFxo Sun, 31 Jul 2016 16:47:07 EDT http://ift.tt/2aTWFxo In exploring the market for bullpen help, the Cardinals found a willing trade partner in the White Sox, who flipped left-hander Zach Duke to St. Louis on Sunday for Minor League outfielder Charlie Tilson. The move came a little more than 24 hours ahead of the non-waiver Trade Deadline. Jenifer Langosch 7/31/2016 10:40 A.M. 1469976045 http://ift.tt/2aH93Vm Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:47:11 EDT http://ift.tt/2aH93Vm The Indians' clubhouse buzzed with excitement Sunday morning after the news they had acquired reliever Andrew Miller via trade. That enthusiasm reflected on the field with an all-around strong showing in the Tribe's 8-0 series-sweeping win over the Athletics at Progressive Field. Shane Jackson and Jane Lee 7/31/2016 3:47 P.M. 1469994455 http://ift.tt/2aHqKnS Sun, 31 Jul 2016 20:02:26 EDT http://ift.tt/2aHqKnS Starting pitcher Bud Norris lasted just one out, but that hardly mattered as an offensive outburst from the Dodgers covered an unexpected bullpen game in an 14-3 victory for Los Angeles on Sunday. Jack Baer and Steve Gilbert 7/31/2016 8:02 P.M. 1470009743 http://ift.tt/2ak0DQ3 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:39:57 EDT http://ift.tt/2ak0DQ3 Seeing the baseball land in the outfield grass at Comerica Park in the third inning Sunday was a sigh of relief for rookie Alex Bregman, who was able to take some pressure off of himself by getting his first big league hit in an 11-0 loss to the Tigers after going 0-for-18 to start his career. Brian McTaggart 7/31/2016 6:39 P.M. 1470004798 http://ift.tt/2anchHV Sun, 31 Jul 2016 17:56:20 EDT http://ift.tt/2anchHV Andrew Cashner said hello to a new club and goodbye to his beard on Sunday. Joe Frisaro 7/31/2016 4:41 P.M. 1469997677 http://ift.tt/2aHmS60 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 19:11:11 EDT http://ift.tt/2aHmS60 It was silent in the Yankees' clubhouse on Sunday morning as an attendant packed the contents of Andrew Miller's locker into a large duffel bag. Sam Blum 7/31/2016 7:11 P.M. 1470006669 http://ift.tt/2ak3ZTh Sun, 31 Jul 2016 19:29:41 EDT http://ift.tt/2ak3ZTh With the Trade Deadline at 3 p.m. CT on Monday, the Cubs are looking at getting players healthy rather than adding anyone else to the roster. Carrie Muskat 7/31/2016 7:14 P.M. 1470006880 http://ift.tt/2aahQhT Sun, 31 Jul 2016 20:24:31 EDT http://ift.tt/2aahQhT D-backs right-hander Zack Greinke is likely one injury-rehab start away from being activated from the disabled list and his return could come in the Big Apple. Steve Gilbert 7/31/2016 8:24 P.M. 1470011070 http://ift.tt/2aqSSK4 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 22:12:32 EDT http://ift.tt/2aqSSK4 Welcome to DraftKings fantasy baseball, the Official Daily Fantasy Game of Major League Baseball. The players listed in this piece are in position to provide difference-making stats for DraftKings participants on Monday. Fred Zinkie 7/31/2016 9:39 P.M. 1470015576 http://ift.tt/2aAza0t Fri, 29 Jul 2016 00:22:05 EDT http://ift.tt/2aAza0t In the final shopping days before Monday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline, contenders can find a piece to address just about any need, as long as they are willing to pay the price. Andrew Simon 7/28/2016 11:21 P.M. 1469762496 http://ift.tt/2aJcx6S Sun, 31 Jul 2016 16:56:24 EDT http://ift.tt/2aJcx6S Neil Walker launched a go-ahead three-run homer off Boone Logan in the seventh inning, leading the Mets to a 6-4 win over the Rockies to snap their four-game losing streak, bust Colorado's five-game winning run and avoid a sweep at home Sunday at Citi Field. Anthony DiComo and Thomas Harding 7/31/2016 3:40 P.M. 1469994056 http://ift.tt/2aJtNca Sun, 31 Jul 2016 21:52:56 EDT http://ift.tt/2aJtNca Homer Bailey, making his first start since having Tommy John surgery in April of 2015, got the victory and Jose Peraza hit a two-run home run to lead the Reds to victory. Wil Myers knocked in a run for the Padres and also stole home. AJ Cassavell and Mark Sheldon 7/31/2016 3:44 P.M. 1469994287 http://ift.tt/2aHanYL Sun, 31 Jul 2016 20:48:57 EDT http://ift.tt/2aHanYL Bud Norris' status for his next start is uncertain after he faced only two batters before leaving Sunday's 14-3 win over Arizona with right lat soreness. Ken Gurnick 7/31/2016 4:24 P.M. 1469996685 http://ift.tt/2amBlFh Sun, 31 Jul 2016 18:24:10 EDT http://ift.tt/2amBlFh A Mets club battling injuries up and down its roster lost one of its sturdiest players in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rockies, when Asdrubal Cabrera left in significant pain after slipping on the basepaths. He was diagnosed with a strained patella tendon in his left knee and will undergo a more thorough examination Monday. Anthony DiComo 7/31/2016 2:08 P.M. 1469988512 http://ift.tt/2aATSdG Sun, 31 Jul 2016 17:06:15 EDT http://ift.tt/2aATSdG Cardinals shortstop Aledmys Diaz, who took a 95-mph pitch off his right hand in his first at-bat in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins, will remain in Miami to undergo a series of additional tests on Monday. Jenifer Langosch 7/31/2016 1:18 P.M. 1469985529 http://ift.tt/2a9Iwz8 Mon, 1 Aug 2016 08:33:00 EDT http://ift.tt/2a9Iwz8 If Sunday was in fact right fielder Jay Bruce's last game with the Reds before Monday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, he spent it out of the starting lineup. After initially penciling Bruce in the order, manager Bryan Price decided to scratch him against the Padres. Mark Sheldon 7/31/2016 2:45 P.M. 1469990714 http://ift.tt/2aAWTL6 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 14:10:52 EDT http://ift.tt/2aAWTL6 This is a dream scenario for Indians manager Terry Francona. Whether he is constructing a lineup or mapping out a pitching staff, Francona craves balance and versatility. He wants as many options in place to plan for every possible situation. Now, Francona has an elite bullpen duo in lefty Andrew Miller and righty Cody Allen. Jordan Bastian 7/31/2016 12:27 P.M. 1469982458 http://ift.tt/2ahY7dl Sat, 30 Jul 2016 21:50:30 EDT http://ift.tt/2ahY7dl The Nationals addressed their struggling bullpen Saturday by acquiring right-hander Mark Melancon from the Pirates.
