The Giants are planning to add outfielder/first baseman Jerar Encarnacion to the active roster prior to tomorrow’s series opener against the Reds, reports Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic. Encarnacion is currently traveling with the team to Cincinnati, he adds. The Giants will need to formally select Encarnacion’s contract to the 40-man roster, but with multiple vacancies at the moment, they’ll only need a corresponding 26-man move to activate him.

On two occasions Saturday, the Yankees’ hustle was rewarded. 

A sprinting Ben Rice made the Blue Jays pay when they literally dropped the ball. Gleyber Torres — yes, Gleyber Torres — dashed hard from first base to second to beat out what might have been a double play. 

Both Rice and Torres came around to score on home runs, which are advisable for teams that train a spotlight on effort levels: Hit the ball far enough, and you can run as slowly as you want. 

After Aaron Boone sent a message to the entire club Friday by benching Torres because the second...

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.

The Dodgers have spent so much money in recent MLB offseasons—this past winter in particular—that it is easy to forget that they, too, are subject to luxury taxes and restrictions on the salary cap and roster size. Ultimately, they can’t keep everyone all the time. And thus, once this season passes, the team is expected to lose righthanded slugger Teoscar Hernandez, who signed to a one-year, $23.5 million contract in January.

Many of the Pittsburgh Pirates faithful were quite underwhelmed with their trade deadline acquisitions, but that's just the MO for the Pirates front office.
