Nearly half of baseball’s hardest throwing pitchers this season have had reconstructive Tommy John surgery in their careers.

The Dodgers have gone a ridiculous 25-4 this month, making a run at MLB’s best record, led by MVP candidate Mookie Betts.

Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, a World Series MVP and former No. 1 pick, is planning to retire in September.

For the first time since 1992, neither of the AL East’s top two teams will be the Yankees or Red Sox.

The LA Angels brought in reinforcements for Shohei Ohtani ahead of the trade deadline… then lost the first six games of August.

Buck Showalter led the Orioles to the postseason three times during his time in Baltimore, and returns days after the big-spending Mets’ sell-off.
