The Yankees signed Max Fried to be their No. 2 starter, behind Gerrit Cole. But when Cole went down for the season, Fried was expected to step up and be the ace - and that's exactly what he's been. The lefty is 6-0 with a 1.01 ERA entering Wednesday's game, delivering all the Yankees could have asked for so far in his eight-year, $218 million deal. When Fried starts, the Yankees win. When he doesn't, they've been a .500 team, which is no shock to manager Aaron Boone thus far.

SAN DIEGO - One day five years ago, shortly after a tragic accident claimed the lives of his college baseball coach and eight others, David Morgan had a permanent reminder tattooed into his skin. A string of Roman numerals runs down the right side of his neck. Each symbol is filled with meaning.

SAN DIEGO - One notable streak finally ended Saturday when the San Diego Padres scored a run after 30 consecutive innings without scoring. It had been their longest such drought since 1981. Three days later, in front of the second-largest crowd in Petco Park history, the end finally came for two other streaks that were just as conspicuous. For the first time in 17 games, Xander Bogaerts drove in a run. Six innings later, and for the first time in 2025, the Padres' $280 million shortstop homered.

Here are three takeaways amid the Padres' slide from the top of the standings. 'Somewhere in between'Padres manager Mike Shildt put it well late Sunday afternoon when asked to assess his team's performance over the past two weeks.

For the first time since April 6, the San Diego Padres are not in sole or joint possession of first place in the majors. It's understandable. Three prominent hitters are on the injured list, two others are also sidelined, and the Padres are exhausting their limited position-player depth. Shorthanded, San Diego went 2-4 on its road trip through Houston and Detroit, scoring only 15 runs over six games.
