Henry breaks home run record as Canaries drop series finale
Sioux Falls, S.D. (Canaries) — Jabari Henry smacked a 414-foot solo homerun in the bottom of the third inning Thursday night to become the American Association's all-time homerun leader as the Canaries fell to Cleburne 13-2 at the Bird Cage. The Railraoders struck for seven runs in the top of the third before Henry's historic blast in the bottom half. It was Henry's 147th career roundtripper, surpassing Reggie Abercrombie who had held the record since 2016. The Railroaders added three runs in both the fifth and sixth innings to build their largest lead. Trevor Achenbach scored on an error in the bottom of the sixth and Mike Hart led off the eighth with a triple before scoring on a wild pitch. Henry smacked another homerun, this time a two-run shot, in the ninth inning as part of a 4-5, three RBI performance. The Canaries are now 9-10 and will open a three-game series at Kansas City on Friday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Shohei Ohtani faces live batters for first time since 2023, then ties MLB lead with 18th homer
Shohei Ohtani faced live batters in a throwing session Sunday afternoon for the first time since his 2023 elbow surgery. Then he did the other thing he's good at, crushing a leadoff homer against the New York Mets. Facing countryman Kodai Senga, Ohtani cranked the ball 108.2 mph to the second deck at Citi Field, with Statcast projecting the distance at 411 feet. It was Ohtani's 18th homer of the year, tying him with Aaron Judge and Kyle Schwarber for the MLB lead. It was also only the second homer Senga had allowed all season. Shohei Ohtani goes YARD to start the game 💥(via @MLB) — Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports) May 25, 2025 Prior to the game, Ohtani threw to teammates Hyeseong Kim and Dalton Rushing, in addition to game-planning and communication coach J.T. Watkins. He threw 22 pitches through five at-bats, getting two strikeouts and one walk. That checked off another important box in his path to returning to pitching and again becoming the two-way superstar who earned a $700 million contract in free agency. Kim made hard contact twice, including a comebacker to Ohtani, which he fielded on a hop, and a line drive to right field. Seeking assurance, Ohtani asked outfielder Teoscar Hernández if he would have caught the ball. Shohei Ohtani threw 22 pitches in live BP, facing Hyeseong Kim, Dalton Rushing and game planning coach J.T. Watkins. Here's the end of his first at-bat vs. Kim: — Sonja Chen (@SonjaMChen) May 25, 2025 Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior told reporters that Ohtani mostly threw fastballs at 94-95 mph, but got up to 96-97. He also threw a splitter and a couple of sweepers in what Prior felt was an encouraging session. "It's a big step getting on a mound, facing hitters," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Saturday, via the New York Daily News. Roberts added that the next step would be amping up his velocity while also throwing his slider. Ohtani added breaking pitches during a session for the first time this week. Dodgers pitchers currently rank 11th in the NL (and 22rd in MLB) with a 4.14 ERA. Starters Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki are all on the injured list, along with relievers Blake Treinen, Evan Phillips and Kirby Yates. So Ohtani being able to contribute will be welcomed. The question is when that will be, and Ohtani isn't yet at the point where doctors, executives and coaches are ready to project any kind of timeline.
