Siri's season isn't necessarily over but Tampa Bay will have to navigate most, if not all, its remaining schedule without him. The Rays have been dealing with crushing player absences all season and that trend continued last week when starting center fielder Jose Siri went on the injured list with a hand fracture. Hurt might still be a long shot for the Dodgers' postseason roster - he was sent right back down to the minors on Wednesday, in fact - but he could provide precisely what they'll need given that they're not expecting to get much length from their starting pitchers in October.
He entered the eighth inning to face Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto and Manny Machado and retired all three in order, then came back out for the ninth and struck out the side to seal a victory over the Padres. Hurt, acquired from the Marlins as part of the Dylan Floro trade of 2021, struck out a whopping 145 batters in 88⅓ innings in Double-A and Triple-A and did precisely what the Dodgers hoped he would in his major league debut. The Dodgers called up a 25-year-old right-hander named Kyle Hurt on Tuesday for two reasons: He can provide multiple innings out of the bullpen, and he strikes out a lot of dudes. The Orioles have actually been a better road team this season but make no mistake: Opening the playoffs in the ALDS round in Baltimore would be huge for this breakout team. Either way, this is the matchup this season has been building toward for Baltimore. If the Orioles can win three or four, their hold on the division lead will be rock-solid. Starting today, the Orioles and Rays clash at Camden Yards in the first of four games that'll take us through the weekend. With the way the standings are shaping up, the division champ will land that top playoff seed and all the comforts that go with it - a first-round bye, home-field advantage, etc. Schoenfieldīy this time next week, we might know whether the Orioles have a hammerlock on the AL's top playoff seed, or if they are going to be mired in a down-the-stretch dogfight with the Rays for the AL East crown.
The Braves would love for Wright to give them another starting option for the postseason, but he'll need to see his stuff tick up. Kyle Wright made his first start since May but gave up six hits and six runs in three innings against the Phillies, generating just two swinging strikes out of 62 pitches. The Braves also passed the 2019 Dodgers for the most home runs in NL history and are on pace to beat the 2019 Twins' major league record of 307. Week 23 | Second-half preview | Preseason rankingsĪfter going 18 games without a home run, Matt Olson is on fire once again, hitting eight in a 10-game stretch that culminated with his 51st home run Tuesday, tying Andruw Jones' franchise record set in 2005. We also asked ESPN MLB experts David Schoenfield, Bradford Doolittle, Jesse Rogers and Alden Gonzalez to weigh in with an observation for all 30 teams.

Our expert panel has combined to rank every team in baseball based on a combination of what we've seen so far and what we already knew going into the 162-game marathon that is a full baseball season. What else might the final weeks of the season bring? Two division races in the American League remain close - the AL West and AL East - while the NL wild-card race will seemingly go down to the wire. The Orioles and Dodgers are not far behind Atlanta, and a handful of other teams are comfortably leading their respective divisions.
The Braves became the first team to secure a postseason berth this past weekend and followed that up by clinching the National League East with a win over the Phillies on Wednesday night.
