MLB Power Rankings: Red Sox crash Top-10 going into All-Star break
Featured in the All-Star break edition of MLB Power Rankings, Jacob Misiorowski and Aaron Judge make history for different reasons, the Phillies do Cristopher Sánchez a solid, the Red Sox are suddenly the hottest team in the majors, the Angels surprise with their decision for the No. 2 pick, and the Rockies absolutely nail it. (Please note these power rankings are a combination of current performance and long-term projected outlook) Let's get started! Eric Samulski, Note: Rankings are from the morning of Monday, July 14. Last week: 1 Even after getting swept by the Mariners over the weekend, the Tigers enter the All-Star break with the best record in baseball. Tarik Skubal is set to become the first Tigers' pitcher to start the All-Star Game since Max Scherzer in 2013. Last week: 3 After losing seven straight, the Dodgers righted the ship by taking two out of three against the division rival Giants over the weekend. Tyler Glasnow made his return last week, and Blake Snell and Blake Treinen aren't far behind, so the Dodgers are about to get stronger. Last week: 4 Including an excellent outing in a win over the Yankees on Sunday, Shota Imanaga holds a 2.31 ERA over four starts since returning from the injured list. Last week: 2 Given the Astros moved on from Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman this offseason and they've been without Yordan Alvarez for most of the first half, it's pretty remarkable that they own the fourth-best record in baseball going into the All-Star break. Last week: 8 The Brewers continue to surprise. Winners of seven straight — with a sweep of the Dodgers along the way — Milwaukee sits just one game behind the Cubs for the NL Central lead. The debate over the Jacob Misiorowski All-Star selection is dominating the conversation around MLB in recent days — and understandably so — it got me to thinking of the best players who never went to the All-Star Game. Kirk Gibson is absolutely shocking to me, but also familiar names like Tim Salmon, Tom Candiotti, and Eric Chavez. Last week: 6 The Blue Jays have cooled off a bit since their 10-game winning streak, but they go into the All-Star break in first place in the American League East. We should see them target a starting pitcher as the trade deadline approaches. My favorite thing that happened this weekend was Blue Jays manager John Schneider getting ejected after a potential Davis Schneider home run was ruled foul, only to have the outfielder hit a home run immediately following the ejection. Baseball is so weird and fun. John Schneider was livid and got ejected after Davis Schneider's potential homer was ruled foul 😳 THIS ONE COUNTS 🙌 Davis Schneider goes yard after his earlier shot was ruled foul 💥 Last week: 5 Pretty cool gesture by the Phillies, as Cristopher Sánchez activated the $50,000 All-Star bonus in his contract despite him being a notable snub for the midsummer classic. Sánchez responded by throwing a gem on Sunday, as the club salvaged the series finale against the Padres to go into the All-Star break with a half-game lead in the NL East. Last week: 7 Kodai Senga made a successful return from a hamstring injury on Friday and Sean Manaea looked great despite taking the loss in his season debut on Sunday, so things are looking up for the Mets as they move into second half. Last week: 9 While the Yankees lost to the Cubs on Saturday, Aaron Judge became the fastest player in MLB history to reach 350 career home runs. It's one thing to write that sentence, but the thing is, he's absolutely obliterated the record book in this regard. Fewest career games to 350 home runs: Aaron Judge: 1,088 Mark McGwire: 1,280 Juan Gonzalez: 1,298 Alex Rodriguez: 1,301 Harmon Killebrew: 1,319 Albert Pujols: 1,320 Last week: 16 I was high on the Red Sox coming into the year, and while things haven't exactly worked out the way I thought they would — Rafael Devers trade included — they've won 10 straight games to put themselves in a strong position leading into the trade deadline. CEDDANNE RAFAELA HITS IT OUT OF FENWAY 😤 THE @REDSOX ARE WALK-OFF WINNERS! Ceddanne Rafaela now has five homers and 14 RBI over his last eight games. Last week: 11 Jackson Merrill was down in the dumps with a 3-for-43 (.070) stretch before his two-homer game against Zack Wheeler and the Phillies on Saturday. He's had a bumpy (and injury-riddled) first half, but something closer to his rookie performance would be a huge development for the Padres. Last week: 13 While 33-year-old Robbie Ray will not pitch in the All-Star Game — he was replaced by Mets left-hander David Peterson — he earned his first selection since his age-25 season in 2017. Last week: 12 A great weekend for the Mariners, who swept the Tigers before taking LSU left-hander Kade Anderson with the No. 3 pick in Sunday's draft. Many considered Anderson to be the best player in this year's class. Now it's time for 'The Big Dumper' to get his close-up in Monday's Home Run Derby. CAL RALEIGH GRAND SLAM HOMER NO. 38 Last week: 14 Iván Herrera made his return to the Cardinals on Sunday after missing just about a month with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. He's been great when healthy this season with eight homers, 34 RBI, and a .320/.394/.529 batting line, but he also missed time in the first half with a knee injury. The Cardinals plan to mostly use him out of the DH spot the rest of the way. Last week: 15 Congratulations to Terry Francona, who became the 13th manager in MLB history to reach the 2,000-win club on Sunday. Does his team love him or what? That's our bleeping skipper. Last week: 10 While the Blue Jays and Red Sox are rising, the Rays continue to fall. They've lost four straight and 12 out of their last 15 games. One positive? Shane McClanahan is nearing his return to the Rays' rotation. Last week: 17 A frustrating first half for the Rangers, where they just can't seem to get over the hump, but it ended on an encouraging note this weekend as they took two out three from the Astros. You can squint and see how this club could go on a run in the second half. You could also see them spiraling. The next couple of weeks will be fascinating. Last week: 18 Losers of nine out of their 13 games, the Diamondbacks increasingly look like sellers and they have a bunch of interesting players with Eugenio Suarez, Merrill Kelly, Zac Gallen, and Josh Naylor all reportedly on the block. Last week: 20 What a first half for Byron Buxton. The apex? He accomplished the first triple in Target Field history on Saturday and did it on his own bobblehead day, to boot. THE HOME RUN THAT COMPLETED BYRON BUXTON'S CYCLE!!!! Buxton is my pick for Monday's Home Run Derby. Let's keep this feel-good story going! Last week: 21 Noah Cameron wrapped up a brilliant first half by spinning 6 2/3 scoreless innings with eight strikeouts as part of Sunday's win over the Mets. It's going to be hard for him to stand out in the AL rookie field which also includes Jacob Wilson and Nick Kurtz, but he's been a lifesaver for the Kansas City rotation with a 2.31 ERA across 12 starts. Last week: 19 The Angels' approach to the draft is always interesting, and of course they surprised by taking UC Santa Barbara right-hander Tyler Bremner No. 2 overall. There were other college pitchers who were considered better by most experts, but the Angels clearly thought there wasn't a true standout in this year's class and they could manipulate their draft pool in other ways. But if we know anything about the Angels, we'll probably see Bremner in the majors sooner rather than later. Last week: 23 The Orioles had seven picks in the top 93 players during the first day of the MLB Draft and they received high marks for their haul which included Auburn C/OF Ike Irish, Coastal Carolina C Caden Bodine, Arkansas SS Wehiwa Aloy, and prep OF Slater de Brun. They also finally got around to taking some pitchers with lefty Joseph Dzierwa out of Michigan State and right-hander JT Quinn out of Georgia. Last week: 25 The Guardians have won six out of seven since their 10-game losing streak, but it might be too little too late. Last week: 24 It was the Kyle Stowers Revenge Game on Sunday, as the former Orioles prospect went 5-for-5 with three homers, six RBI, and four runs scored in a blowout victory over Baltimore on Sunday. THREE HOME RUNS FOR KYLE STOWERS! Last week: 22 The latest blow for the Braves is Austin Riley hitting the injured list with an abdominal strain. It would be surprising if he's back by the end of July, so this continues to look like a lost year for Atlanta. Last week: 28 One year ago, Nick Kurtz heard his named called on draft day. On Sunday, he hit his 17th home run of the season and his 12th in 30 games since returning from the injured list. Folks have begun to put the Jim Thome comp on Kurtz recently. One you spot it, it's hard to unsee it. Nick Kurtz sends one the other way for his 17th homer of the year 🚀 Last week: 26 Paul Skenes and MLB history have become synonymous. He's adding another first to the list on Tuesday, as he'll become the first pitcher in baseball history to start the All-Star Game in his first two MLB seasons. The call to National League Starting Pitcher, Paul Skenes 🥲 Last week: 27 Interim Nationals general manager Mike DeBartolo had the weighty responsibility of making the No. 1 pick in Sunday's draft and they ultimately went with 17-year-old switch-hitting shortstop Eli Willits. Willits is the youngest No. 1 overall pick since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1987. No pressure, kid. THE moment 🥹@EliWillits x @OU_Baseball Last week: 29 2025 is the year of the high school shortstop and the White Sox played into the trend with the selection of Billy Carlson. In doing so, Corona (California) HS became the first high school in history to have two top-10 picks n the same year, as right-hander Seth Hernandez was selected sixth overall by the Pirates. Last week: 30 Say what you will about how the Rockies have operated over the past decade or so, but the Ethan Holliday pick just makes so much sense for all parties. Ethan Holliday is a gift to the Rockies at No. 4. And if the Rockies are ever going to turn it around, it will be with him.

5 Can't-Miss Matchups on the Mound This Week (July 8th-July 13th)
It's an exciting week on the mound in Major League Baseball. We are set to see some pitchers who have been thriving this season while others have a major wall to climb. But anything can happen on any given day, so let's look at five pitching duels to watch this week: Logan Gilbert (Mariners) vs. Will Warren (Yankees) — Tuesday Credit: Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images Logan Gilbert has been very good for the Mariners with a 3.40 ERA and good strikeout numbers this season. His opponent this time will be Will Warren, a promising Yankees rookie who has had some struggles with his 5–4 record and 5.02 ERA. This is an excellent matchup of experience against young talent that makes baseball so exciting. Advertisement Clay Holmes (Mets) vs. Brandon Young (Orioles) — Tuesday Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Clay Holmes has been excellent for the Mets this season with a 2.99 ERA in addition to his 8–4 record and high strikeout numbers. Brandon Young will be on the mound for the Orioles. He's a young pitcher looking for his first win as he currently sits at 0–3 with a 7.02 ERA this season. Tune in to see if Young can find some success against the Mets in a battle between a veteran with success in the league and a rookie with nothing to lose. Also Read:: Top 5 Must-Watch MLB Games This Week (July 7–13, 2025) Hunter Brown (Astros) vs. Joey Cantillo (Guardians) — Tuesday Credit: Erik Williams-Imagn Images Hunter Brown has been one of the most dominant pitchers for the Astros this season. He has a league-leading 1.82 ERA in addition to his 9–3 record. On the other side, you have Joey Cantillo, who is a young 25-year-old left-hander with a good 3.41 ERA through 22 games for the Guardians. With this being a classic matchup between a lights-out ace and a good pitcher who is still finding his footing, tune in for this one. Advertisement Antonio Senzatela (Rockies) vs. Lucas Giolito (Red Sox) — Wednesday Credit: Rafael Suanes-Imagn Images Lucas Giolito has enjoyed a nice bounce-back season this year for the Red Sox, with a 5–1 record in 12 starts and a solid 3.66 ERA. Antonio Senzatela on the other side, is in the midst of one of his worst seasons to date in the big leagues with a 3–12 record and a 6.57 ERA for the Rockies. This one should be a veteran-versus-struggling-veteran pitching duel. But anything can happen in Fenway. Paul Skenes (Pirates) vs. George Kirby (Mariners) — Sunday Credit: Matt Marton-Imagn Images With a sub-2.10 ERA and strong strikeout performances, Paul Skenes is one of baseball's most exciting rookies. He's going on the mound against Seattle's composed and controlled ace George Kirby. This Sunday showdown is a great combination of sharpened skill and raw talent, truly a must-see.

Rafael Devers' recent disrespect of Giants legend proves Red Sox made right move by getting rid of him
Rafael Devers continues to prove why the Boston Red Sox's decision to trade the three-time All-Star last month was the right one. Devers did all he could to wear out his welcome in Boston this year. Yet, for a player so talented, an organization is often willing to embrace the pros and cons of a difficult athlete if they help win games. The Red Sox did that with Manny Ramirez during his eight-year stint in Beantown. However, in the front office's eyes, the negatives that came with Devers began to outweigh the positives. Advertisement Also Read: Boston Red Sox game today – Get details on tonight's Sox game Trading him to San Francisco last month received a lot of blowback in the Red Sox fan base. However, the 28-year-old continues to make the decision seem like the right one. This week, ESPN Red Sox announcer Will Flemming revealed that in his second day with the Giants, Devers blew off a training session with team great Will Clark to get tips on playing first base. That could easily just be a rumor. However, the six-time All-Star actually confirmed that story in a recent appearance on the No Filter Network. 'Friday, Saturday, Sunday, he did not come out early at all. Period, not all,' Clark said. 'In fact, he didn't even hit on the field. Everybody's like, 'Oh my God, I'm so sorry, Will. I'm so sorry.'' Advertisement Rafael Devers stats (2025): .264 AVG, .391 OBP, .476 SLG, .867 OPS, 17 HR, 67 RBI, 54 R The Giants legend said he actually understood why Devers did not come out early to take grounders. They were playing the Red Sox those days. And it would have meant practicing in front of his old team at the position he refused to play a month prior. While that makes sense, the fact that he could not convey that message to team officials or Clark doesn't make him look good. Rafael Devers originally refused a move from third base to DH in the spring after the team inked Alex Bregman to a huge deal in free agency. Then, when Tristan Casas went down earlier this season, he again refused a move to first base to fill in. Boston lost a very talented hitter by trading Devers. But they likely avoided a bunch more headaches in the years ahead.

Baltimore Orioles Still Behind in MLB Power Rankings
Baltimore Orioles Still Behind in MLB Power Rankings originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While the Baltimore Orioles are still playing catch-up from their awful start this MLB season, the team has shown signs of improvement recently. Advertisement Don't expect to see the same team taking the field, though, later this season. Baltimore looks like it's going to be sellers at the MLB Trade Deadline later this month. The Orioles remain stuck in No. 24 in the most recent MLB Power Rankings, according to The Athletic. It will take a Herculean effort over the final weeks this season to even get Baltimore in any type of postseason play discussion. "Thanks to a weekend sweep of Atlanta, the O's are 21-13 since their low point in late May, and they're playing the kind of baseball that was expected of them at the start of the season," Tim Britton of The Athletic wrote. Ryan O'Hearn continues to set offensive pace for Orioles "An optimist can squint and chart a path from 13th in the AL to October, past the mediocre middle of the AL Central and the .500 laggards in the AL West, by Boston in the division to where they only need the (Seattle) Mariners, (Toronto) Blue Jays or (Tampa Bay) Rays to falter to give them a legit chance," Britton wrote. "A pessimist notes that yeah, that sounds like it has a 4.1 percent chance of happening, and that's why Baltimore is still poised to sell impending free agents like Cedric Mullins and Ryan O'Hearn at this month's trade deadline." In 76 games this season, O'Hearn is hitting .287 with 11 home runs, 30 RBI, 74 hits and 36 runs scored, according to StatMuse. Mullins is hitting a paltry .213 with 13 homers and 41 RBI in 73 games for Baltimore. Advertisement Starting pitcher Charlie Morton has shown signs of coming around for the Orioles. But Baltimore needs a lot more help than simply getting mound production from Morton himself. The 10-day injured list hasn't been good for the Orioles with four catchers among those on it. Look for Baltimore to be active sellers when trades start picking up. The O's probably are looking ahead to next season already. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 8, 2025, where it first appeared.

MLB Power Rankings: Tigers reclaim No. 1 spot, Blue Jays surging as George Springer turns back the clock
Featured in this week's MLB Power Rankings, the streaking Blue Jays sweep the Yankees and take over the AL East, Brandon Woodruff has a triumphant return to the majors, the Mariners' pitching staff is historically-stingy, Eury Pérez provides hope for the Marlins, and the Nationals hit the reset button. (Please note these power rankings are a combination of current performance and long-term projected outlook) Let's get started! Matthew Pouliot, Note: Rankings are from the morning of Monday, July 7. Last week: 2 The Tigers had to scratch and claw their way to a series sweep of the downtrodden Guardians this weekend. After scoring just four runs combined across the first 27 innings of the series, the Tigers exploded for six runs in the 10th inning of Sunday's victory. Detroit now boasts an MLB-best 13.5 game lead in the AL Central. Last week: 3 Capped off by a weekend sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles, the Astros have won 19 out of their last 24 games. Hunter Brown, who earned his first All-Star nod on Sunday, hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in a start since May 21. Last week: 1 We had to put the Dodgers behind the Astros after the aforementioned sweep this weekend. Friday's 18-1 loss was the Dodgers' worst in the history of Dodger Stadium. Losing Max Muncy to a knee injury is a tough one, but Tyler Glasnow is expected to return on Wednesday against the Brewers and Blake Snell could return shortly after the All-Star break. Last week: 4 Seiya Suzuki was not named to the National League All-Star team on Sunday. This is where I'd usually add a Tim Robinson 'You Sure About That?' gif, but we'll let Suzuki's 25th homer from Sunday Night Baseball do the talking here. Sunday Night Seiya 😤 Seiya Suzuki's incredible season continues with home run No. 25! Last week: 5 One day after Zack Wheeler delivered a one-hitter against the Reds, he was named to his third career All-Star team. With the midsummer classic taking place in his hometown, it makes all the sense in the world for him to get the starting nod. Last week: 13 What a difference a week makes. The Blue Jays were three back in the AL East to begin last week, but they swept the Yankees out of town and have extended their lead to three games in the division on the strength of their eight-game winning streak. George Springer has turned back the clock in a huge way of late, hitting .490 with six homers and 21 RBI over his last 13 games. Last week: 10 The Mets have turned things around somewhat with series wins over the Brewers and the Yankees over the past week. They are down another starting pitcher (Paul Blackburn), but Sean Manaea is set to return this week and Kodai Senga isn't far behind. Last week: 8 A huge day for the Brewers on Sunday, as Brandon Woodruff made his first start in majors in 652 days. Coming back from shoulder surgery, the 32-year-old allowed just two hits over six innings one-run ball (the lone run scoring on a solo homer) against the Marlins while posting eight strikeouts against zero walks. The Brewers have surprised again this season and they just got more dangerous. Last week: 6 Could Cody Bellinger's shoestring catch and rocket throw from Sunday's win over the Mets be the turning point of the Yankees' season? WHAT A PLAY FROM CODY BELLINGER! Bellinger makes the shoestring grab and doubles Francisco Lindor at first! Maybe that's hyperbole, but that's as big as it gets for a team on a six-game losing streak who will have to get by without yet another starting pitcher. Last week: 7 After a slow start to the season, Yandy Díaz is looking like, well, Yandy Díaz. Only Tyler Freeman of the Rockies has a higher batting average than Diaz (.378) since the start of June. Last week: 11 The Padres' rotation is about to get a notable lift, as Yu Darvish is set to make his season debut Monday night against the Diamondbacks. Set to turn 39 years old next month, the veteran right-hander has been out all season due to right elbow inflammation. He was plenty effective between the regular season and playoffs last year, so the Padres are hopeful he can add some stability to a rotation which has been lacking it in the first half. Last week: 15 The Mariners are on the uptick once again after throwing three consecutive shutouts for the first time in franchise history during their series against the Pirates over the weekend. Just to put things in perspective, the Dodgers and Orioles have three shutouts all season. If the Mariners can add another bat before the trade deadline, look out. Last week: 12 The start of Willy Adames' seven-year, $182 million contract has been a rough one, but he's hit his stride of late with a .318/.400/.557 batting line along with six homers and 19 RBI over his last 25 games. Last week: 9 After getting swept by the Pirates and losing two out of three to the Cubs — including an 11-0 loss on Sunday and giving up a franchise record eight home runs on Friday — the Cardinals are entering a crucial stretch which will determine whether they will be a buyer or a seller at the trade deadline. Last week: 14 The Reds have lost four out of their last six games, but there's still momentum on their side, especially with Noelvi Marte and Graham Ashcraft coming off the IL this week and Hunter Greene set to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday. Last week: 20 Alex Bregman was the oddest All-Star selection given that he hasn't appeared in a game since May 23 due to a quad strain, but the good news for the Red Sox is that he could be back as soon as this weekend. Last week: 16 Josh Jung was an All-Star as a rookie in 2021, but he appeared in just 46 games last season due to a wrist injury and found himself demoted to Triple-A last week after a prolonged slump. It was an unexpected move, but the Rangers are hoping that he can regain his confidence against minor league pitching and become the franchise cornerstone he once appeared on track to be. Last week: 17 When it was initially reported that Corbin Carroll had a chip fracture in his wrist, it had the potential hallmarks of a long-term absence, but there he was with the Diamondbacks this past weekend after missing just a little over two weeks. That's all well and good, but one wonders if the wrist will impact his offensive production moving forward. Last week: 18 The Angels got swept by the red-hot Blue Jays this past weekend, which was all the more frustrating because all three losses were by one run, including two in extra innings. This is a team who has hovered around the .500 mark for long stretches this season, but just can't seem to get over the hump. Last week: 22 Bailey Ober has been one of the biggest disappointments of the season for the Twins. After allowing seven runs in back-to-back starts, the Twins placed him on the injured list last week due to a hip impingement. The injury has been bothering him dating back to April, so the hope is that some downtime will enable him to return in the second half and resemble the pitcher he's been in the past. Last week: 23 While the Royals are struggling to keep their heads above water, Bobby Witt Jr. is playing his best baseball of the season lately. He's hit safely in 10 straight games and is slashing .349/.379/.590 with four homers, 12 RBI, and 19 runs scored over his last 20 games. Last week: 19 I'm getting the sense that this isn't going to be the Braves' year. In yet another blow, young right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach is dealing with an elbow fracture which puts the rest of his season in doubt. Last week: 26 The Orioles took a lot of heat for trading Kyle Stowers (just named an All-Star) and Connor Norby to the Marlins for lefty Trevor Rogers last summer. And while there's still plenty of reason to critique the Orioles' decision-making over the past year, the 27-year-old has looked excellent over his last three starts with a 0.90 ERA and 15/5 K/BB ratio across 20 innings of work. Better late than never? Last week: 24 Now that's more like it. After scuffling out of this gate in his return from Tommy John surgery, Eury Pérez showed his ace potential last Thursday against the Twins by allowing just one hit over six scoreless frames with seven strikeouts and just one walk. If the Marlins are going to compete in the coming years, Pérez figures to be an important part of it. Last week: 21 Losers of 10 straight games, the Guardians are sporting their first double-digit losing streak since 2012. Not only that, but they are just two losses away from tying the franchise record that was set in 1931. Last week: 25 The talent doesn't always match up with the results for Oneil Cruz, but then there are moments like this which remind you about the true athletic freak that he is. Oneil Cruz just threw the runner out from center field at 105.2 mph 🤯 Last week: 27 It's a new era for the Nationals. The club made the surprising decision on Sunday to part ways with both manager Dave Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo. Rizzo took over in 2009, when the team selected Stephen Strasburg No. 1 overall. They have the No. 1 pick again in the MLB Draft this coming Sunday, but this time it will be interim general manager Mike DeBartolo (formerly the assistant GM) making that all-important selection as they chart a new course for the franchise. Last week: 28 Denzel Clarke has made a habit out of highlight reel catches since his promotion to the majors, but here he is hitting one of the longest home runs of the 2025 season. Denzel Clarke absolutely CRUSHED this ball 😳 Last week: 29 R.I.P. to Bobby Jenks, who died last week at the age of 44 following a battle with cancer. Jenks was a sensation upon his emergence in 2005 and was on the mound when the White Sox won the World Series later that fall. RIP Bobby Jenks 🕊️ Last week: 30 Feel free to criticize the idea of every team getting an All-Star selection, but Hunter Goodman is a good story and deserving selection as a reserve. Far from a Coors Field creation, he actually has a .925 OPS on the road compared to a .765 OPS at home.
