Aaron Judge was in the 1st inning of Thursday’s game when he was hit by a pitch. He was later removed from the game due to continued pain and swelling and underwent additional imaging which revealed a distal ulnar styloid chip fracture which was non-displaced.

As the Hall of Fame gets ready to welcome its newest members, let’s not question if those players are worthy, but if the Hall of Fame is truly that. In my mind, the Hall is going through an identity crisis. But more on that in a moment.
Yoenis Cespedes heel injury was not the news Mets fans wanted to hear. The outcome will be even less popular. Retrocalcaneal bursitis and Achilles tendon calcification is a difficult injury to recover from when it occurs on one foot but having it on both feet and requiring surgery on both feet at the same time is a very daunting injury to come back from.

Chris Sale has been outstanding for the Red Sox this year—having not recorded a loss in over a month and
A lot was made about Lebron James playing in the NBA finals with an injured right hand and Christian Vazquez was initially placed on the 10-day DL after injuring his hand sliding.

For several, this has led to a power increase and more home runs. While it’s not a tried and true method for everyone (just ask Leonys Martin), many players have enjoyed an increase in production over the past couple years with this change.
The deal is done and Manny Machado is going west and is now going to be playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Everyone in the baseball world knew that Machado and there were rumors that he would be joining the Phillies, Braves, and even the Yankees. But in the end, the Dodgers won the Manny Machado Sweepstakes.
Chase Utley announced he would retire at the end of this season. Whenever a player is at the end of his career, we look back and appreciate the moments he gave us, discuss his legacy, and inevitably for someone who has been a very good player, we ask the question: Is he a Hall of Famer?
The All-Star break marks the halfway point of the Major League Baseball season. Here you’ll find the current standings and who I believe will win the major awards and the World Series.
The annual MLB Futures Game was held on Sunday, and the stars of tomorrow absolutely came out to show case their talents.
The annual Futures Game is a showcase for the future of the Major Leagues. This article proves that players from this annual game can make an impact for their team sooner rather than later.
