"Obviously speed is a big part of my game and being explosive in all directions in the outfield is part of my game. "The past couple sharp pains I felt, it wasn't me out there, it wasn't the version of myself I need to be for this team to win a World Series." Dylan Carlson will shift to center field while Lars Nootbaar takes over in right field in Bader's absence. Outfielder Conner Capel arrived from Triple-A Memphis to provide depth until Tyler O...

The first goal for a professional baseball player is to make it to the majors. The second goal is to stay. Enter Edward Olivares. Olivares is expected to be in the Kansas City lineup as the Royals host the Oakland Athletics Sunday afternoon in the finale of a three-game series. The Royals will send Brady Singer (3-2, 4.34 ERA) to the mound to oppose Oakland's James Kaprielian (0-5, 5.98) in a clash of right-handers. The A's took an early lead Saturday and held off several Royals challenges, earning a 9-7 victory. Sunday's game will be for the series. Olivares returned to the Royals Friday night after missing 43 games with a right quad strain. He hit two home runs -- his first two of the season -- and helped the Royals win 3-1. He was rewarded by batting cleanup in Saturday's game. He struggled, going 0-for-5 with four strikeouts, but he's still carrying a lot of promise for the future. "Some of the things he does are unique," Royals manager Mik...

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty's search for his pre-injury form will continue Sunday against the visiting Chicago Cubs. Flaherty (0-0. 7.50 ERA) will make his third start since coming off the 60-day injured list when the Cardinals and Cubs play the rubber game of their three-game series. The Cubs won 3-0 Friday, and the Cardinals bounced back to win 5-3 on Saturday. After missing the first 2 1/2 months of the season with shoulder bursitis, Flaherty, a right-hander, has struggled to find and repeat his mechanics. He lasted just three innings in each of his two starts, including walking five Brewers in the Cardinals' 6-2 win on Tuesday. "Game didn't go that well," Flaherty said. "I didn't really have good stuff. I didn't have good command or anything. But to keep the game right there give us a fighting chance." In retrospect, perhaps Flaherty needed a few more rehabilitation starts in the minors before returning to the majors. ...

The 57-year-old tweeted for the first time in nine years on Wednesday, asking followers for advice on how to make a social media comeback — and they unanimously agreed that he should just stay away.

Almost 65 percent of the more than 10,000 individuals who have voted so far believe he should “stay out.” “Update your bio then run,” was one of the poll options. “Act like nothing happened” and “Just Don’t” were others.

In September 2017, Weiner was sentenced to nearly two years in prison for sexting with a 15-year-old...

German Marquez allowed three hits over 7 2/3 sharp innings and Connor Joe had two hits and scored the game's lone run as the Colorado Rockies snapped a three-game losing streak with a 1-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday in Minneapolis. It was the third win in the past four starts for Marquez (4-5), who walked five and struck out two. He got 12 groundball outs and got the Twins, who lost for the fifth time in seven games, to hit into three double plays.

Shortstop Francisco Lindor will look to lead the New York Mets again on Saturday when they visit the Miami Marlins. Lindor had four RBIs on Friday night as the Mets won the opener of a three-game series, 5-3. It was the second time he drove in four runs since he accidentally slammed a hotel door on his right middle finger, but he hasn't let that deter him. "Be careful with double doors," Lindor joked on Friday after his big game. "The second thing I learned is that it's just a finger. Other people have bigger problems in life. "I'm the type of player who will do anything to win." That's been evident all season. Lindor is hitting just .246, but he has 12 homers, 56 RBIs and a .750 OPS. His career high for RBIs was 92 with Cleveland in 2018, and he is well ahead of that pace. "He's hot right now," said Marlins pitcher Sandy Alcantara, who took the loss on Friday when he gave up a solo home run and a bases-clearing double ...
