Braves Offense Gets Going Early

The Atlanta Braves offense was really good in the 2023 regular season. Part of the reason why they were so good this year is because they scored 146 first-inning runs, which is the second-most in MLB history since 1961, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Atlanta scored a first-inning run 65 times this year, accounting […]

San Diego Padres general manager A.J. Preller said the "first path" with outfielder Juan Soto this offseason is to work out a contract extension. "We've never been a group that says no to anything.

San Diego Padres president of baseball operations and general manager A.J.

Texas Rangers outfielder Robbie Grossman is serving as the designated hitter and is batting third for the Rangers in Game 1 of the wild-card series on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Tyler Glasnow.

The Milwaukee Brewers kept outfielder Garrett Mitchell off the roster for the wild-card series this week against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
