There was no shortage of MLB highlights during the first week of the 2024 season. We saw home runs, shutouts, extra innings, game-winning hits, rain-outs, and a boycott. Opening Week truly had it all.
Kansas City Royals infield prospect Nick Loftin has made the team’s Opening Day 26-man roster, manager Matt Quatraro announced Saturday.
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno could be a significant difference-maker in 2024. He is coming off a productive 2023 season that ended even better than it began. His goal is to become the best catcher in the National League.
New York Yankees pitcher Luis Gil was named the team’s fifth starter after a strong Spring Training. They held a competition for the role with Gil, Clayton Beeter, Cody Poteet, Will Warren, and Luke Weaver. Overall, it was Gil’s consistency that won him the job.
Jeff McNeil must bounce back for the New York Mets to be contenders this season.
One of the best defensive center fielders in the game, Taylor should end up being the Pirates’ primary center fielder for the season.
Byron Buxton is finally healthy for the Minnesota Twins. After multiple injuries to his right knee that limited him to only 382 plate appearances in 2022 and 347 in 2023, he is ready to play full-time again. Look for Buxton to play center field and to be one of the Twins’ leaders on the field.
