The ‘welcome to the Yankees' moment that put CC Sabathia on path to become Bronx legend
CC Sabathia paved the way for the Yankees' most recent World Series title in his first season with the team and finished in the top four in the AL Cy Young Award voting three straight years after coming to The Bronx. But the lefty said Friday that his 'welcome to the Yankees'' moment came against the Red Sox in early August of that season, when Sabathia tossed 7 ²/₃ scoreless innings in a win at Yankee Stadium on Aug. 8. It began an 11-start stretch for Sabathia in which the Yankees won 10 times and he pitched to a 2.16 ERA.

'That's the biggest moment I think I'll take away from the [Yankees-Red Sox] rivalry, was being able to have a big game and … pitch well.'

Steven Kwan out of Guardians' lineup against the Athletics with right wrist soreness
CLEVELAND (AP) — Guardians All-Star outfielder Steven Kwan was out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics due to nagging right wrist soreness. Manager Stephen Vogt said Kwan's status is day-to-day and that he has been dealing with wrist issues for over a month. Kwan left a May 28 game against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to wrist inflammation. After playing in Tuesday night's All Star Game, Kwan met with doctors on Wednesday and received an injection. Kwan's infield hit in the ninth inning drove in Bobby Witt Jr. with the tying run in the All-Star Game. The contest was tied at 6 after nine innings and was decided by a swing-off for the first time, which was won by the National League. 'We encouraged him to go play in the All-Star Game. He earned the right. We knew this was coming,' Vogt said. It is only the sixth missed game for Kwan, who is batting .285 with six home runs and 32 RBIs. Pitcher Shane Bieber will make his next rehab start on Tuesday for either Triple-A Columbus or Single-A Lake County. Bieber — working his way back from Tommy John surgery in April 2024 — tossed two scoreless innings and struck out five on Tuesday in an Arizona Complex League outing. It was the first game action for the 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner since he experienced soreness during a bullpen session on June 3. Infielder Gabriel Arias began a rehab assignment for Triple-A Columbus on Friday night. Arias sprained his left ankle against St. Louis on June 29. Right-hander Nic Enright was recalled from Columbus after Paul Sewald was placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday due to a right shoulder strain. Prospect Travis Bazzana, the No. 1 overall pick in last year's amateur draft, was activated off the injured list by Double-A Akron after missing two months due to an oblique strain. The second baseman has a .252 batting average with four home runs, 17 RBIs and eight stolen bases in 33 games for the RubberDucks. ___

How did Tigers' Tarik Skubal pitch in 2025 MLB All-Star Game? Stats, highlights
Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal started for the American League on Tuesday, July 15, at the 2025 MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park in Atlanta. This was Skubal's second All-Star appearance and first as a starter, after the 2024 AL Cy Young Award winner made an appearance in the 2024 All-Star Game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Skubal pitched the second inning of that game following then-Baltimore Orioles ace Corbin Burnes in the first. Skubal pitched a clean second inning, getting Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich to ground out, Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm to fly out to center field and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández to fly out to right field. DRAFT: Ridiculous, mind-blowing stat explains Tigers' first-round pick How did he do this time around? Here's the log of Skubal first-inning performance in the MLB 2025 All-Star Game: Tarik Skubal stats in 2025 All-Star Game Innings: 1 Runs: 2 Hits: 3 Strikeouts: 2 Pitches: 19 (16 strikes) Buy our book: The Epic History of the Tigers First batter: Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani Skubal started the reigning NL MVP Shohei Ohtani with a 99 mph fastball, which the slugger fouled off. While mic'd up, Skubal revealed he would try to get Ohtani to swing through an 0-2 changeup, but Ohtani eventually poked a 1-2 outside corner slider to center field for a leadoff single. Second batter: Braves LF Ronald Acuña Jr. Skubal got Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña down to an 0-2 count, but Acuña made contact on a 1-2 pitch and sent a slow roller down to Gleyber Torres at second base. The ball was hit so softly, however, and Torres playing for the double play Acuña reached first base on an infield single without a throw, putting the first two runners on base. Third batter: Diamondbacks 2B Ketel Marte Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte sent an opposite field double down the right field line, which scored both Ohtani from second and Acuña from first to give the NL an early 2-0 lead over the AL. TIGERS UPDATES: 2025 MLB All-Star Game live blog Fourth batter: Dodgers 1B Freddie Freeman On his 13th pitch of the game, Skubal recorded his first out when he got Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman to ground out to third baseman Junior Caminero. Fifth batter: Padres 3B Manny Machado There was a bit of a scary moment with Padres third baseman Manny Machado up to bat as Machado fouled Skubal's first pitch off Raleigh's mask. Machado immediately checked in before resuming. Skubal then struck out Machado on a 1-2 changeup that clipped the bottom of the strike zone, though the pitch was initially called a ball. Since the All-Star Game is using an automatic ball/strike system (ABS), a review from the booth was called that reversed the initial call, giving Skubal his first strikeout of the game. Sixth batter: Dodgers C Will Smith Three pitches later, he struck out Dodgers catcher Will Smith to end the inning. Skubal's final stat line: One inning pitched, three hits, two earned runs and two strikeouts.
