With his first trip to New York as a big league pitcher imminent, Hayden Birdsong is looking forward to embracing the vibe that is Yankee Stadium. A native of Mattoon, Illinois, Birdsong was partial to the Chicago Cubs. “I never grew up a Yankees fan,” Birdsong said before the Giants embarked on a 10-game trip which begins Friday night (4:05 p.m.) in the Bronx against the defending A.L. champions. “He's a pretty laid back kid,” Giants pitching coach JP Martinez said.

UNITED STATES—The June 17 MLB clash at Oracle Park between the Cleveland Guardians and the San Francisco Giants promises to be one of the most electric interleague matchups of the season. José Ramírez is more than a cornerstone for the Guardians—he's their emotional engine. Known for his fearless approach and high baseball IQ, Ramírez thrives in the heart of pressure-filled moments.

Wayne State relief pitcher Ethan Getting uses a back-breaking delivery to get batters out, and reminds a bit of Tim Lincecum.

As former San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey is getting adjusted to his new role with the team as president of baseball operations, the game has slightly changed since he hung his boots. With Posey debating the multitude of risks with the Giants in helping the team reach the next level, a new aspect in baseball this season in the torpedo bats has many debating the use of it. Posey would give his own thoughts on the boosted bats which has been used by many players in the majors though there is some on the side of it being a form of cheating, though the bats are authorized for the stars to make due with. The San Francisco executive determined to say he “would try it” and went into his reasoning for why according to NBC Sports Bay Area.

Mark DeRosa, who was the third of the Giants' record-tying 19 consecutive different Opening Day left fielders, will manage the United States for the second straight World Baseball Classic, USA Baseball said Thursday. DeRosa led the U.S. to the championship of the 2023 tournament, where it lost to Japan 3-2 as Shohei Ohtani struck out Mike Trout to end the game.

The New York Mets are currently deploying Jose Siri and Tyrone Taylor in center field. Both have struggled offensively, and the Mets could be on the hunt for upgrades near the trade deadline. The Mets have World Series aspirations and cannot expect to beat the Dodgers with a hole in their lineup. Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller suggested that Mike Yastrzemski of the San Francisco Giants could solve their outfield puzzle.

In baseball, the leadoff hitter is more than just the guy who gets the first crack at the opposing pitcher—he’s […]

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... SAN FRANCISCO — Mike Yastrzemski hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning, Jung Hoo Lee had three hits including a triple and a double, and the San Francisco Giants rallied from a five-run deficit for an 8-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Wilmer Flores had three hits including a home run for San Francisco, which avoided a three-game series sweep. Yastrzemski homered off Emilio Pagán (0-1) with automatic runner Matt Chapman at third. Elly De La Cruz had a two-run double and Gavin Lux singled in two for Cincinnati in a five-run third inning. The Giants trailed 6-1 in the sixth when Patrick Bailey tripled in a run during a four-run

The San Francisco Giants (9-3) will visit the New York Yankees (7-5), Friday at 7:05 p.m. ET, in the first game of a three-game series. The Yankees are favored (-118) in an expected tight game against the Giants (-101). The Yankees will start Marcus Stroman against the Giants and Robbie Ray (2-0). The Yankees won 4-3 over the Tigers Wednesday in their most recent game.

Beyond simply powering the San Francisco Giants to victory on Wednesday, Mike Yastrzemski also followed through on a promise and etched his name in the history books. The 34-year-old right fielder belted a two-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning against the Cincinnati Reds, pulling a 381-foot bomb into McCovey Cove. Yastrzemski revealed after that game that his 3-year-old daughter had asked for a home run, which is exactly what he gave her. It wasn't just any splash hit, either, since it was a walk-off that gave the Giants a victory in extra innings.

Giants pitchers will spend the next three games trying to keep the Yankees away from the short porch in right field, and the team's young players will attempt to settle the butterflies that always come with the bright lights of New York. Then, of course, there's the matchup with Aaron Judge, who certainly has enjoyed reminding the Giants of what they missed out on in MLB free agency two offseasons ago. The "torpedo bats" are spreading throughout the league, but they still are most connected to the Yankees, who made the new bats a national storyline by destroying the Milwaukee Brewers' pitching staff on the opening weekend of the season. The Yankees hit 15 homers over three games, many coming off the barrels of the new bats, which are designed to shift more wood to the part of the bat where a specific player makes contact.

Ten days ago, Bob Melvin sat in the dugout at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati and tried to think of a polite way to frame his response. Mike Yastrzemski was out of the lineup against a right-hander for the third game of the season, and Melvin had a very good reason for the move. The numbers are the numbers, but Melvin is old school, and sometimes it's still worthwhile to go with your gut. "You've got your boy," Melvin said.

It's Week 2 of the 2025 MLB season, and while our top three teams are holding firm from Week 1, we have some big jumps shaking up the top 10. Juan Soto and the New York Mets crack the top five this week (in the process, passing Aaron Judge and the torpedo bat-powered New York Yankees), while Kyle Tucker's Chicago Cubs rocket all the way from No. 14 to No. 6. The San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox are also new members of the single-digit club.
