Jurickson Profar

Already missing a few key players, the Padres will be without Fernando Tatis Jr. for at least several weeks.

Plus Austin Riley's new defensive drill, a Yankees success story, even faster MLB games and more.

Profar has been the bargain of the offseason and the biggest surprise on a team weighed down by underperforming superstars

The Padres didn't play "perfectly clean" baseball against the Rockies on Wednesday and fans let the team hear it after it was swept.

As the Padres packed for a flight to Milwaukee, Profar fielded another topical question: Did he feel relevant?

Following a suspension and surgeries, Tatis could wind up in the outfield next season, which would impact other players.

Dozier joins a large group of players pushing Jurickson Profar for playing time at second base.

To complete the deal, San Diego agreed to send catcher Austin Allen and a player to be named or cash to Oakland.

Here are five questions that will need to be answered before the team once again descends upon Surprise to crack open the seal on the 2019 season.

We have gathered here today to lay to rest the 2018 Texas Rangers season. We do that by remembering everything that took place -- and what we wrote about it.

"I have more time to move," Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor says of his improved footwork. "That helps me see the ball better, and read the ball better."

The Rangers don't know if Beltré will return in a Texas uniform in 2019. So they treated Sunday's 2018 Globe Life Park finale as if it could be the future Hall-of-Famer's final home game there.
