I felt like [Fried's] command was not as good those final few, Boone said. He's just making so many big pitches, and his stuff was good. He gave us what we needed and felt really good about the outing he put forth, but I felt pretty convicted. Especially we got the double play, it's like, Let's go get one more hitter and be good.

Seats for Tuesday night's game at Yankee Stadium on Ticketmaster are only being sold to residents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. In a message posted on Ticketmaster's event page for Game 1 of the American League Wild Card series, the agency warned, "Yankee Stadium is located in the Bronx, New York...Orders by residents outside New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania will be canceled without notice and refunds given."

The rotation was a natural point of focus, with Elias saying the club wants to add a starter to the front half of its rotation, which could be either a #1, a #2 or a #3. Such distinctions are fairly subjective but the point would be to have another guy capable of slotting in next to Kyle Bradish and Tyler Rogers somewhere in the front half of the rotation.

The 2025 MLB playoffs start Tuesday (1 p.m. ET on ESPN), and we're here to get you ready for what is setting up to be a thrilling postseason. Will Shohei Ohtani's Los Angeles Dodgers meet Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees in a World Series rematch? Is this the year the Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers finally get to the Fall Classic?

As a New York Yankees fan, I spent the summer of 2000 feeling my chest tighten anytime my team was on the field and the ball travelled in the vicinity of second base. Routine grounders caused the greatest stress. The more inconsequential the play should have been, the more likely it was to go wrong. Seemingly overnight, Chuck Knoblauch, the All-Star second baseman, had lost his ability to toss the ball to first, the shortest throw on the diamond.

Earlier this month, the Braves claimed Ha-Seong Kim off waivers almost immediately after it was reported that he had even been available in the first place. Now, the Braves have taken a bit more time to hop on acquiring another intriguing piece for the offseason: RHP Alek Manoah has been claimed off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays and has been placed onto Atlanta's 40-man roster.

New York, NY - Two lucky New York Lottery players are holding $50,000 winning Powerball tickets after Wednesday night's drawing, officials announced Thursday. The tickets, both third-prize winners from the September 24 drawing, were sold in Brooklyn and Manhattan. One came from Flat Gas & Mart, located at 7702 Flatlands Avenue in Brooklyn. The other was purchased at Bono's Deli, 35 East 28th Street in Manhattan.

It all began in Kansas City a week ago when Nathan Lukes was robbed by the replay review room in New York, in two straight innings. The 20-minute sequence was as bizarre as it gets, and it marked the first recent incident that has left Jays fans scratching their heads. In the third, Brandon Lowe launched a three-run homer, which Lukes had timed up with a big leap at the wall. When he was on his way down, center fielder Myles Straw was waving to the Blue Jays' dugout, signalling a challenge. A fan had reached to make the catch too, but it looked like it most definitely got in the way of Lukes, who was also trying to get his glove on the ball.

Possible clinches in the AL: The Yankees and Mariners are all but guaranteed a playoff spot, and today's games could remove the "all but" qualifier from that phrase. If the Yankees beat the White Sox, they'll clinch a playoff spot for themselves and also open the door for the Mariners to clinch a spot with a win over the Rockies later in the evening.

If you're a New York resident, check your mailbox: Hundreds of dollars could be waiting inside. The New York State Office of Taxation and Finance has announced it will issue inflation refund checks as early as this fall. The event is not because of any special program, like how STAR payments are issued. Instead, New York is providing one-time relief checks to help offset higher sales taxes due to increased inflation.

Bases loaded, top of the first, Joe Boyle looking like a deer in the headlights on the bump, the perfect opportunity to do damage early. Nathaniel Lowe strikes out. Boyle regains control and shuts down the Sox with nine total strikeouts. A late send by Kyle Hudson for Romy Gonzalez in the fourth inning, who ends up getting nailed at the dish.

Hundreds of people, young, old and wearing matching commemorative T-shirts, just finished dancing the "YMCA" on the field at Yogi Berra Stadium at Montclair State University. Little League teams, former MLB players and local politicians laugh and clutch their gloves as volunteers hand out souvenir baseballs. Yankees organist Ed Alstrom plays "Charge!" from a stage in center field, and the crowd responds on cue.

This offseason's qualifying offer will be worth approximately $22MM, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. The exact figure won't be known for another five or six weeks, though Sherman writes that the final total will probably be a little under $22MM, according to sources within both the league and the players' union. This would track with Sherman's early estimates about the QO in each of the last two seasons - he reported a $20.5MM approximate for 2023-24 that ended up being $20.325MM,

However, with West Ham at home for their final match of the 2025-26 Premier League season on May 25, officials were worried it wasn't enough time to convert the field from football (soccer) to baseball. On top of that, when MLB officials were looking to play later in the month, scheduling conflicts with Fox also arose, as they didn't have enough broadcasting slots due to their commitment to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Rangers will activate Tyler Mahle from the 60-day injured list for Friday's series opener against the Marlins. He is listed as the probable starter against a yet to be announced pitcher for Miami. Texas has a full 40-man roster and will need to designate someone for assignment or transfer one of Marcus Semien, Nathan Eovaldi or Sam Haggerty to the 60-day injured list.
