The lawsuit by the boy's mother Beatrice Galaz said the team should have more netting along the side of the field and players shouldn't throw balls during warmups in areas where spectators could be struck, especially when the team is encouraging fans to arrive early to try to meet players. On Sept. 15, 2019, her son Bryson was walking with his father in the first row of stadium seating toward the dugout, where players were meeting fans and signing autographs more than an hour and a half before the game, the lawsuit said.

There's a lot to catch up on from a bizarre baseball offseason before the 2022 season officially begins with first pitch at Wrigley Field.

The Detroit Tigers announced 16 roster moves Wednesday, including three key relief pitchers going on the injured list and the final four members of the Opening Day bullpen.

The Boston Red Sox could be in play for former Los Angeles Angels and Detroit Tigers outfielder Justin Upton. The four-time all-star was traded from the Tigers to the Angels in August of 2017. During his run with the Angels, Upton had a batting average of .232 to go along with 305 hits, 203 RBIs and 75 home runs.

Four Major League Baseball players, including former Detroit Tigers first baseman C.J. Cron, testified this week that they were supplied with oxycontin by former Los Angeles Angels staffer Eric Kay. Kay is on trial for supplying the drugs that caused the overdose death of Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs in 2019. Cron, currently a member of the Colorado Rockies, testified along with pitchers Matt Harvey, Mike Morin and Cam Bedrosian that Kay supplied them with the powerful painkiller. Prosecutors argue that Kay gave Skaggs counterfeit oxycontin laced with fentanyl, causing his death after a road game against the Texas Rangers.

Defense attorneys have rested their case without the testimony of Eric Kay.

The calendar has hit mid-February, which is usually a fine time to be a Major League Baseball fan.

Prosecutors say a former Los Angeles Angels employee accused of providing Tyler Skaggs the drugs that caused the pitcher's overdose death lied to police about seeing Skaggs the night before he was found dead.

Shohei Ohtani did things during 2021 that almost nobody alive had ever seen in sports.

Former Detroit Tigers utility man Andrew Romine has called it a career after 11 seasons.

Billy Eppler embraced the bright lights of the big city, promising on his first day as Mets general manager to pursue pricey free agents and create a perennial World Series contender.

Noah Syndergaard got a qualifying offer and not much else from the New York Mets over the past two months. “I think if I get back to my old self, then the combination one-two punch with myself and Shohei, and all the young talent that the Angels have, I think we can really make a run at this thing,” Syndergaard said. Syndergaard was immediately full of praise for the Angels’ two MVPs, calling Ohtani “the most exciting player in the game" and Trout “the best player the game has ever seen, so I want to help get him a ring.”

In the National League, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper won his second MVP honor. He becomes the second player born in Japan to win the award, joining the Mariners’ Ichiro Suzuki (2001). Ohtani is the fourth Angel to be named MVP joining Don Baylor (1979), Vladimir Guerrero (2004) and Trout (2014, 2016 and 2019). He’s the first son of a former MVP winner to receive an MVP vote. Harper is the 12th player to win NL MVP more than once.

Even Shohei Ohtani, arguably the best player in the major leagues, feels down at times, particularly when his team isn't winning. Sharing his mental state was among the few small nuggets Ohtani revealed in an hour-long interview on Monday at the Japan National Press Club. Ohtani is under contract for next season at $5.5 million, which will be his highest annual salary thus far.

Ohtani stole second, continued to third on a throwing error by catcher Jose Trevino and came home when Jack Mayfield singled through a drawn-in infield.

Shohei Ohtani will pitch for the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday after his sore arm felt much better in a bullpen session.

Two-way star Shohei Ohtani has been scratched from his scheduled start for the Angels against Oakland because of a sore right arm that could sideline him as a pitcher for the rest of the season.

While Ohtani hit his major-league leading 42nd home run Monday night, Jack Mayfield connected for his first career grand slam as the Angels were able to defeat the New York Yankees 8-7. Ohtani and Mayfield are tied for the team lead with nine home runs since the All-Star break.
