But recent injuries caused by flying bats…

Few daily fantasy contestants enjoy following the crowd, but nobody will want to leave Sunday’s top starting pitcher out of their plans. It’s not Clayton Kershaw Day. Chris Sale and Max Scherzer aren’t taking the hill, either. Yet Jose Fernandez wasted no time working his way back into the top tier.

ALLENDALE, MI – The first time Huy Nguyen tried to play catch with a baseball and mitt, his face took the brunt of it. “We warm up and we start playing catch,” the 16-year-old recalled. “The first ball ever to me, it hits my face.” Did you get a black eye? “No, purple,” he said with a smile. Nguyen has come a long way since first picking up a baseball…

Cole Hamels will make his Texas Rangers debut in a slate featuring Jacob deGrom, Gerrit…

BRIDGETON — In its 49th year, the Bridgeton Invitational is continuing its tradition of great baseball at Alden Field. “I think this will be the most exciting invitational that’s been held in the last 15 years,” said Dave Hitchner, member of the tournament’s executive committee. The invitational is a double-elimination tournament that runs over the course of two weeks. The games are sped up — running only seven innings. Pitchers also…

During the summer, San Rafael’s Albert Park baseball stadium typically draws around 450 people to watch the minor-league San Rafael Pacifics. On this Tuesday evening, though, there are close to 900 for an independent Pacific Association game against the Vallejo Admirals. There’s a handful of local broadcast news crews as well—but their cameras aren’t trained on the field. Instead, all eyes are on a small monitor at the right edge…

Mets obtain Cespedes The New York Mets acquired slugging outfielder Yoenis Cespedes from Detroit on Friday in their strongest attempt yet to boost a punchless lineup that threatened to derail their postseason hopes. Cespedes hit .293 with 18 home runs with 61 RBIs in 102 games with the Tigers this season. The Mets sent minor league pitchers Michael Fulmer and Luis Cessa to Detroit. The Tigers decided to build for…

Baseball’s non-waiver trade deadline is at 3 p.m. Friday, so it’s the last time this season that teams can trade players without having them clear waivers. It’s usually a hectic day, but then again, it’s been a crazy week. Here is what what went down on Friday, which was nutty: The Mets got Tigers outfielder Yoenis Cespedes before the deadline: After the deadline, a slew of trades were announced that…

The Houston Astros are loading up for a pennant race. Ditto for the Toronto Blue Jays. Quit rubbing your eyes. That’s not a misprint. If it seems like baseball has been turned upside down — with long-time doormats now on top and former powers such as Atlanta and Philadelphia in white-flag mode — you wouldn’t be far off. But here’s the thing: It’s really not an anomaly. Baseball has always…
