Blue Jays’ Orelvis Martinez gets 80-game ban for violating PED policy

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Orelvis Martinez was suspended 80 matches Sunday for violating Major League Baseball’s performance-enhancing drug policy, just two days after his big league debut. Martinez, 22, is the Blue Jays’ top hitting prospect and was called up this week after shortstop Bo Bichette was placed on the injured list. Martinez tested positive for Clomiphene, a fertility drug on the league’s banned substance list. In a statement, Martinez stated he had spent the last two years trying to start a family with his girlfriend and was prescribed Rejun 50, a Clomiphene tablet, over the winter after visiting a fertility clinic in his native Dominican […]

Maikel Garcia’s game-ending hit gives Royals win over Yankees

Maikel Garcia hit a game-ending two-run double off Yankees closer Clay Holmes, and the Royals recovered after squandering a brilliant start by Alec Marsh to beat New York 4-3 on Thursday and avoid a four-game sweep. Marsh took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning versus the major league-best Yankees (49-22), who had outscored the Royals 25-8 in the first three games of the series. He permitted Juan Soto’s leadoff single in that frame and then retired the next three batters to conclude his 96-pitch outing. “I thought we had a good game plan going in,” Marsh said. “Me and [catcher Freddy Fermin] were on the same page […]

Yankees’ Gerrit Cole to begin stretch of rehab games Tuesday

New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, who has yet to pitch this season because of nerve inflammation in his right elbow, will make his first minor league rehab start Tuesday.

Mets say Jorge Lopez’s post-ejection glove toss ‘not acceptable’

The New York Mets held a players-only team meeting Wednesday night after getting swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 10-3 loss that included another late-inning bullpen implosion and reliever Jorge Lopez throwing his glove into his stands after being ejected. The score was tied at 3-3 heading into the eighth inning before the Dodgers scored six times against three relievers. One was Lopez, who took issue with third-base umpire Ramon De Jesus’ ruling on a check swing from Shohei Ohtani. Lopez wound up surrendering a two-run home run to Ohtani. He kept arguing with De Jesus while falling behind 3-1 to Freddie Freeman before the umpire ejected […]

David Stearns, Mets have ‘plenty of time’ to weigh trades

With his team sinking in the standings, New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns stated Tuesday that he will continue to practice patience before deciding whether to keep the roster intact for a postseason push or trade veterans at the July 30 deadline. “Generally, the trade deadline becomes an inflection point in the season,” Stearns said, “and we’ve got plenty of time before that.” The Mets entered Tuesday’s doubleheader versus the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 22-30 record, 14.5 games behind the first-place Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East and 4.5 games from the third NL wild-card spot. They had lost 10 of […]

Padres’ Xander Bogaerts has fractured shoulder, lands on IL

San Diego Padres All-Star second baseman Xander Bogaerts broke his left shoulder attempting a diving pickup and was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. “I’m not a big timetable guy,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said. “Obviously he’ll be on the sidelines for a period of time. It’s really impossible to say how long. We’re still gathering information.” Bogaerts injured his shoulder while diving for a ground ball in the first game of a doubleheader Monday versus the Atlanta Braves. Bogaerts was escorted off the field after being evaluated by training staff. Looking for the best online betting site and Live betting? Visit Heritage […]

Dodgers pitcher Emmet Sheehan has surgery to repair UCL

Emmet Sheehan, an important starting pitching depth option for the Los Angeles Dodgers, underwent surgery to repair an ulnar collateral ligament Wednesday and won’t pitch this season, the team revealed. Sheehan, 24, posted a 4.92 ERA in 60⅓ innings in his first season in the majors last year, striking out 64 batters and walking 26. He entered spring training this year vying for one of the Dodgers’ final rotation spots, but experienced forearm inflammation during his first bullpen session and began the season on the injured list. He then ramped back up to the point of facing hitters but was shut […]

Paul Skenes strikes out seven in MLB debut as Pirates win

Paul Skenes’ stuff was as electric as advertised. A fastball that reached at least 100 mph 17 times. A slider that left major leaguers shaking their heads. An invention called a “splinker” that is a hybrid of a splitter and a sinker and dips and dives unlike any pitch anywhere in baseball. Yet even at age 21, the Pittsburgh Pirates rookie knows all the “oohs” and “ahs” and knee buckles a ball that at times seems to explode out of his right hand can produce won’t matter if he can’t control it. So while there were some positive takeaways from his major […]
