How to watch the 2025 MLB season without cable
It's almost time to play ball! The 2025 Major League Baseball season kicks off later this month. The season technically begins with the MLB in Tokyo series on Tuesday, Mar. 18. But Opening Day won't be until Mar. 27, where nearly every MLB team will play (the Rockies-Rays matchup has been pushed back a day). Are you ready to tune in? In case you've forgotten the slightly chaotic way that MLB games are distributed across channels, here's a refresher on the best ways to watch MLB in 2025.
The 2025 MLB season begins with the MLB Tokyo series on Tuesday, Mar. 18, where the Dodgers and Cubs will face off in a two-game series at Japan's Tokyo Dome. The official Opening Day will take place a little over a week later, on Thursday, Mar. 27.
MLB games air across ESPN, FOX, Apple TV+ (for exclusive streaming games), the Roku Channel (taking over MLB's 'Sunday Leadoff') and a wide range of RSNs. So to be honest, it's not very straightforward to keep up with your favorite MLB team. But it can help to be prepared! Here's what we recommend to help you watch baseball in 2025.

Josh Smith, Jake Burger and Wyatt Langford went deep in the first two innings and the Texas Rangers hit a season-high six home runs in a 16-3 romp over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. Evan Carter, Adolis Garcia and Sam Haggerty also homered as Texas scored 16 runs for the second time in three games. The Rangers beat Minnesota 16-4 on Tuesday night. Patrick Corbin (4-5) allowed three runs in five-plus innings for his first victory since May 14, retiring 12 straight hitters at one point. He hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in his dozen starts this season. Minnesota has lost five of seven. Texas Rangers' Wyatt Langford, right, celebrates his three-run home run with Kyle Higashioka, left, and Josh Smith during the second inning of baseball game against the Minnesota Twins, Thursday, June 12, 2025, in Minneapolis. Matt Krohn / AP Minnesota's Bailey Ober (4-3) allowed seven earned runs and walked a career-high six in 4 2-3 innings. He gave up a career-high four homers. Smith hit the lanky right-hander's second pitch into the right-field seats. Burger homered in the second, and after a balk, Kyle Higashioka added an RBI single for a 3-1 lead. Two batters later, Langford hit a three-run blast just inside the left-field foul pole. Carter homered in the fifth to make it 7-1, Garcia capped a six-run sixth with a three-run home run off Joey Wentz, the reliever claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh Wednesday. Haggerty added a three-run shot in the ninth against infielder Jonah Bride. Down 6-1 in the second inning, Minnesota loaded the bases with no outs and the top of the order coming up. But Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa popped out around Ryan Jeffers' strikeout. Texas is 25-4 when scoring at least four runs. Texas has yet to announce a starter for its home game Friday night against the Chicago White Sox. RHP Chris Paddack (2-5, 3.53) is scheduled for Minnesota at Houston.

Tigers option struggling reliever Beau Brieske to Triple-A Toledo
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Detroit Tigers optioned reliever Beau Brieske to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, one day after the right-hander was hit hard in a 10-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Brieske gave up five runs, three hits and two walks in 1/3 inning on Wednesday night. The poor outing, which lifted his ERA to 6.55, led to his demotion to the minors. 'We've just got to get him to execute better,' Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Thursday before Detroit faced Baltimore in the deciding matchup of a three-game series. 'He needs a reset to get himself back in the strike zone. Utilizing all his pitches will lead to better results.' Brieske has allowed 16 earned runs, 24 hits and 12 walks in just 22 innings this season. The Tigers hoped he could work his way out of the funk, but his struggle against the Orioles was telling. 'Last night was kind of the end of the conversation, where it came to now is the time to do it,' Hinch said. 'This has been building over the course of a few outings for him, where execution just wasn't going well for him.' The Tigers filled the void in the bullpen by recalling left-hander Matt Gage from Toledo. 'He's been really good,' Hinch said. 'He really has performed his way here. It's a reward for him for dominating Triple-A.' Gage was 1-1 with a 1.67 ERA in 23 appearances with the Mud Hens. To make room for Gage on the 40-man roster, RHP Jackson Jobe was transferred to the 60-day injured list. ___ AP MLB:
