Cal Raleigh scratched late from Mariners' lineup

SEATTLE — Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh was a late scratch from the lineup Saturday night before a 3-2, 10-inning loss to Kansas City with what manager Dan Wilson termed “general soreness.” Raleigh had been slated to bat second and start behind the plate against the Royals, but the Mariners announced he would miss the game just over an hour before first pitch. The soreness did require imaging, according to Wilson, but Raleigh is “day-to-day.” Raleigh, who was the runner-up for AL MVP last season after hitting 60 homers and driving in 125 runs, is hitting .186 with seven homers and 18 RBIs through 33 games. After getting off to an extremely slow start at the plate, Raleigh has started to heat up, with five of his homers coming in the past 15 games. In Raleigh’s absence, center fielder Julio Rodríguez hit second and backup catcher Mitch Garver eighth. Also, the Mariners placed infielder Will Wilson on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday, with a left thumb fracture and called up catcher Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Tacoma.

DENVER (AP) — El jardinero derecho venezolano de los Bravos de Atlanta, Ronald Acuña Jr., salió del juego del sábado por la noche contra los Rockies de Colorado en la segunda entrada debido a una molestia en el tendón de la corva izquierdo.Con su equipo arriba 2-0, Acuña intentaba correr para llegar a salvo a primera tras un rodado, pero se detuvo aproximadamente a mitad del recorrido entre bases y se llevó la mano al tendón de la corva izquierdo.El personal médico del equipo lo examinó antes de que se retirara del campo caminando con cautela y regresara al dugout de Atlanta.

Oswald Peraza's two-out RBI single in 10th inning lifts Angels to 4-3 win over Mets

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Oswald Peraza hit a two-out RBI single in the 10th inning and the Los Angeles Angels snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday night. Jorge Soler drew a leadoff walk from Austin Warren (0-1) to open the 10th and Jo Adell singled to load the bases with no outs. Warren got Josh Lowe and Vaughn Grissom on flyouts and was one strike away from escaping the jam when Peraza dunked an 0-2 curve into left-center for the win. The Angels got 3 2/3 scoreless innings from their beleaguered bullpen. Sam Bachman struck out three in 1 2/3 innings and Ryan Zeferjahn (2-1) threw a scoreless ninth and 10th for the win. Brett Baty reached on catcher’s interference to open the Mets’ 10th. But Zeferjahn got Bo Bichette to ground into a double play and, after an intentional walk to Juan Soto, Francisco Alvarez to pop out to second. Reid Detmers limited the Mets to one run and four hits through six innings but ran into trouble in the seventh, when Mark Vientos doubled and Marcus Semien singled. Andy Ibáñez’s sacrifice fly pulled the Mets within 3-2 and Tyrone

Massey scores in 10th on Garcia's sacrifice fly, Royals beat Mariners 3-2

SEATTLE — Michael Massey scored on Maikel Garcia’s sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, and the Kansas City Royals overcame a dominant 14-strikeout performance from Seattle starter Emerson Hancock to beat the Mariners 3-2 on Saturday night. Massey began the inning as the automatic runner at second base, stole third, and then scored on Garcia’s flyball to center field off Cooper Criswell (1-1). The Royals tied the game in the ninth against Mariners closer Andrés Muñoz, as Salvador Perez led off with a single. Pinch-runner Lane Thomas advanced to second on a balk, and scored on Jac Caglianone’s single to center that got by Julio Rodriguez and went all the way to the wall. The Mariners scored first when Josh Naylor drove Rodriguez home with an RBI single in the first, but the Royals tied it with back to back doubles from Kyle Isbel and Garcia in the third. That was the only run the Royals got against Hancock, who allowed six hits and no walks over seven innings while setting a new career high in strikeouts. It was a dominant performance on a night the Mariners retired the number of arguably the most dominant pitcher in franchise history, Randy

Blake Snell to return to Dodgers soon. Who is odd man out of rotation?

May 3, 2026, 9:01 a.m. ETPitcher Blake Snell appears close to a return for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The left-handed pitcher is working his way back from left shoulder fatigue.He made his first appearance with the Single-A Ontario Tower Buzzers on April 22. In that game at San Jose, he threw 21 strikes in 32 pitches but did not record a strikeout in one-plus inning of work. Snell allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk.He made his second rehab start for Ontario a few days later, recording six strikeouts in three scoreless innings against the Lake Elsinore Storm.When will Blake Snell return to Dodgers?Snell started the year on the injured list but is expected to return to the Dodgers' rotation closer to the end of May. He's expected to make two rehab starts with Triple-A Oklahoma City.Who would Blake Snell replace in Dodgers' rotation?The Dodgers' rotation has remained strong without Snell this season. Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow have played well.Roki Sasaki hasn't been as consistent, but he's likely to remain in the rotation. Upon his return, Snell is likely to replace Emmet Sheehan, who could settle back into a role as a reliever.

Jacob Misiorowski injury update: Brewers optimistic they avoided disaster

May 2, 2026, 2:05 p.m. ETJacob Misiorowski avoided a major injury, and perhaps won't have to miss any time on the mound at all.Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters Saturday, May 2 that he thinks Misiorowski's "going to be fine," some 15 hours after the right hamstring injury the right-hander suffered the night before, when he took a no-hitter into the sixth inning of the Brewers' 6-1 victory over the Washington Nationals.Misiorowski, 24, was overpowering most of the night, striking out eight, retiring the last 11 batters he faced, averaging 101 mph on his fastball in the first inning and throwing 43 pitches between 100 and 103 mph. He did not know he had a no-hitter when he struck out the first batter of the sixth, and then, after throwing one pitch to leadoff hitter James Wood, motioned for a trainer to come out.That sent a chill through the Brewers dugout – and the industry at large – given Misiorowski's high-velocity repertoire and the inherent risk involved. But the injury did not involve his golden arm.Instead, he exited due to a barking hamstring, at least for the moment keeping the Brewers' extensive injury list a little lighter. Veteran right-hander

Una avioneta sobrevuela una hora Fenway Park con pancarta que pide a dueños vender a Medias Rojas | AP News

BOSTON (AP) — Una avioneta que remolcaba una pancarta en la que se imploraba a los dueños de los Medias Rojas que vendieran el equipo voló sobre Fenway Park el viernes mientras Boston y los Astros de Houston realizaban práctica de bateo.La avioneta remolcaba una pancarta con grandes letras rojas que decían: “¡DESPIDAN A CRAIG! ¡VENDAN EL EQUIPO!”La pancarta iba dirigida a Craig Breslow, director de operaciones de béisbol de Boston, y al propietario principal de los Medias Rojas, John Henry.Boston llega al juego del viernes contra los Astros en el último lugar del Este de la Liga Americana, con marca de 12-19.Breslow despidió al mánager Alex Cora el 25 de abril tras una victoria como visitante por 17-1 sobre los Orioles de Baltimore.La avioneta dio vueltas alrededor del estadio durante más de una hora. Se vio a aficionados fuera del parque mirando hacia arriba e intentando leer la pancarta. Con los Medias Rojas arrancando tan mal esta temporada, en Fenway se han escuchado cánticos de “¡Vendan el equipo!”. La semana pasada, esos cánticos se hicieron más fuertes después de que fueron barridos en casa por sus eternos rivales, los Yankees de Nueva York. 1 MIN READ 1 MIN READ

Twins pitcher Joe Ryan exits start vs. Blue Jays after only 9 pitches

Updated May 3, 2026, 4:24 p.m. ETThe Minnesota Twins are hoping there's nothing seriously wrong with ace right-hander Joe Ryan.Ryan was removed from his start Sunday, May 3, against the Toronto Blue Jays after throwing just nine pitches in the first inning.The Twins later said he was removed with right elbow soreness, according to St. Paul Pioneer Press beat writer Betsy Helfand.Ryan had retired the first batter of the game before walking Kazuma Okamoto on a full count. He came off the mound and motioned to the dugout immediately afterward, bringing out manager Derek Shelton and an athletic trainer.Reliever Andrew Morris had to warm up quickly and was summoned to take over, yielding one hit but not allowing any runs to score in the opening inning.This is a breaking story. More details to come when available.
