MLB Player News

Reports from Jeff Passan of ESPN on Wednesday stated that Heimlich had signed with the Mexican League team, but he hasn’t been registered with the team. “We have to analyze his case,” Javier Salinas, the president of the Mexican league said in an interview with the New York Times. “It’s very difficult to see him registered in the Mexican League.” This would not be the first time that Heimlich signed with an international team only to have his contract rescinded, as his deal with the Chinese Professional Baseball League was also cancelled back in August. He went undrafted out of Oregon State in both his junior and senior years after reports were released that Heimlich pleaded guilty to molesting a family member as a teenager.

Ohtani’s double extended his on-base streak to 51 games. The 31-year-old has doubled four times in 2026, and he’s up to 11 RBI from the leadoff spot in 21 games.

Alvarez pitched well with 4 1/3 innings of shutout baseball, but the 26-year-old will return to Triple-A to give the Nats a fresh arm for the coming week. The corresponding move will be announced Monday.

Karros absolutely clobbered a 438-foot blast off Roki Sasaki to make it a 3-2 game. The 23-year-old also singled and came around to score a run. The two-reach game with the homer puts his slash at .211/.352/.281, but he’s passed the eye test a few times in the young campaign.

Ward’s MLB debut saw him pick up his first two hits and his first run driven in. Unfortunately, it also saw him end the game as the tying run at the plate, but hard to call this anything but a success. The 28-year-old has raked in Triple-A, but the question is going to be just how much playing time he sees while he’s with the Dodgers.

Moniak blistered a two-run shot off Blake Treinen — who allowed three runs without getting an out — that gave the Rockies a 5-4 lead and ultimately a win. It’s already the sixth homer of the season for Moniak, and he’s now slugging .655 over the first three weeks of the campaign. Keep in mind that he’s a 27-year-old that was the first-overall pick in 2017. Keep in mind that he hasn’t come close to living up to that hype since reaching the majors, but weirder things have happened.
