About 7 minutes reading time. HOUSTON (AP) — When Cam Smith made his MLB debut on opening day for the Houston Astros, it was the third-fastest that someone had gone from the draft to the majors. Selected 14th overall by the Cubs in last year’s draft, Smith played just 32 minor league games, including five at Double-A, before moving to the big leagues.

About 2 minutes reading time. ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Houston Astros right-hander Hayden Wesneski is set to undergo Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery, likely sidelining him until late in the 2026 season. Wesneski went on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort on May 9, three days after allowing four runs over four innings in a 4-3 loss at Milwaukee. The 27-year-old was 1-3 with a 4.50 ERA.

About 5 minutes reading time. PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paul Skenes could tell during his pregame bullpen session on Thursday that he wasn’t quite right. The Chicago Cubs then went out and offered tangible proof, taking the Pittsburgh ace deep three times in the fifth inning of what became on Thursday in a performance that was decidedly unSkenes-like, at least by the 22-year-old’s remarkably high standards.

About 3 minutes reading time. HOUSTON (AP) — Jose Altuve asked manager Joe Espada to move him out of the leadoff spot and into the second hole for the Houston Astros. The reason? He wanted more time to get ready to hit in the bottom of the first inning after coming into the dugout from left field. Altuve is playing left for the first time in his career after spending his first 14 major league seasons at second base. “I just need like 10 more seconds,” he said.

Texas A&M got a good one.

CM Newton hired Rick Pitino. Bucky McMillan idolized Pitino. Martin Newton interviewed Bucky and thought about how his dad used to describe Pitino. Bucky Ball is pressing, flying, firing away — and Newton says the coach has Pitino’s “it factor.” https://t.co/GXGtk6yT7e

Great read from my guy @CJMooreHoops on Kentucky’s most important player, Lamont Butler, who has already been a March hero once before. The hero’s origin story: https://t.co/oJulsnaUQV
