Oliver devoted a May 4 segment to names and promotions of minor league baseball teams, announcing: “We are willing to use all of our resources and stupidity to give one Minor League Baseball team a total rebrand. We will give you a new team name, a new mascot. We will even throw you a theme night. It will be personalized and it will be bespoke.”
Two weeks later, Oliver selected Erie from among 47 team submissions. Oliver said the northwestern Pennsylvania team had given 11 reasons it should be picked, including the team had pioneered cotton candy hot dogs and pointed out “The SeaWolves play baseball nowhere near the sea.”
Oliver announced Sunday he had chosen Moon Mammoths, using Bob Costas’ voice as narrator of a promotional video introducing the moniker.
We told you something BIG was coming… turns out, it’s bigger than any of us imagined.
The name was inspired by the 1991 discovery of woolly mammoth remains by George Moon, a Summit Township resident who found a bone while scuba diving in Lake Pleasant, about eight miles south of Erie. The mammoth remains are housed in the State Museum of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg.
Erie, which has won the past two Eastern League championships, will be renamed the Moon Mammoths for games on July 19, Aug. 19, Sept. 12 and Sept. 13.
Major League Baseball said Monday the team will wear jerseys with a rising moon with the team’s name across the chest, a moon on sleeves and a patch with a woolly mammoth wearing a space helmet.
Naturally, Terry Collins remembers playing with Dave Parker.
How could anyone not?
Parker was electricity incarnate, a 21-year-old budding superstar patrolling center field for the 1972 Salem Pirates of the Carolina League and honing the five tools that would eventually propel him into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
But Parker, who died on Saturday at age 74, carried through life an even stronger memory of Collins, a scrappy infielder on that club who would go on to become the longest-tenured manager in the history of the New York Mets.
Parker’s 2021 memoir Cobra: A Life of Baseball and Brotherhood (written with Dave Jordan), contains this anecdote about an experience that year with Collins, 23 at the time, and another teammate, Ron “Satch” Mitchell:
“After a day game, me and Satch were walking through Salem with Terry Collins, that feisty, skinny kid from up north. He generally didn’t look for trouble, but he wasn’t afraid of it, either. We just wanted a quick meal without going all the way back to Roanoke. As we made our way through town, these young men -- they were both actually pretty tall - sitting outside a general store yelled over, ‘You two don’t belong here.’
I wasn’t in the mood for a fight, and neither was Satch. But that didn’t stop Terry.
“What the hell does that mean? Ol’ Collins got right in their faces.
“I’m from Michigan! People don’t talk to other people like that!”
“I ain’t talkin’ to you. We’re talking to Leroy over there.”
Back then “Leroy” was the name racists used when they were tired of the N-word.
“You’re talkin’ to me now, and if I ever --”
At this point, Satch quietly dragged Terry away from the guys. Collins sure had some balls on him. What a good dude.”
Reached by telephone on Monday from his home in Port St. Lucie, Florida, Collins said that he had not read the passage in Parker’s book. But he remembered the incident well.
“I was appalled by what I heard,” Collins said. “I had heard stories about how [Black players] were treated in the Carolina League, but to see it in person -- I was shocked. Plus, Dave was my friend. He was my teammate.”
Collins remembers that Parker told him that he was crazy, and that the men probably had guns in their store. But Collins was the guy who won the Pirates “Red Ass of the Year” Award in ‘72. That honor came with a trophy of a donkey. He was not going to allow a few menacing racists to speak to his friend that way.
More than half a century later, Collins remains in awe of Parker’s talent.
“He could fly,” Collins said. “And I saw him hit a line drive off a pitcher’s shoulder, and that guy never pitched again. From then on guys would flinch when they threw the ball to him.”
The following year, Parker jumped from A-ball to Triple-A to the big leagues. He and Collins remained in touch.
In 1997, when the Anaheim Angels named Collins manager, Collins received a call from his friend Tony La Russa. La Russa was managing the St. Louis Cardinals and had earlier won a World Series in Oakland with Parker on his roster.
“Do yourself a favor and hire Dave Parker [as a coach],” La Russa said, unaware that the two had once played together. “He’s the best clubhouse guy I’ve ever had. I would hire him myself if I had room.”
Collins loved the idea, and made Parker his first base and outfield coach. The following year, La Russa brought Parker to St. Louis as his hitting instructor.
Parker and Collins remained in loose contact for a few years, then mostly lost track of one another -- with the exception of a time when Collins’ Mets were playing in Cincinnati, where Parker lived. Parker made a point to come to the ballpark to say hello to his old buddy.
“He was a fun-loving guy with a great sense of humor,” Collins said. “He was a great dude, just a good guy. And he had tools up the ass.”
However, it would be hard to imagine the Rangers letting a 23-year-old leave who’s only beginning to blossom into a promising forward with an exponential amount of potential.
The Giants aren’t playing their best baseball at the moment, but legendary broadcaster Duane Kuiper might have just given them some extra motivation as they begin a four-game series against the Diamondbacks in Arizona.
Should San Francisco pull off a sweep at Chase Field, NBC Sports Bay Area analyst and former Giants pitcher Sergio Romo suggested Hunter Pence jump into the stadium’s famed swimming pool. But then Kuiper took it one step further, promised to take a dip wearing … a leather thong?
There’s no telling if Kuiper actually owns one of those, but it certainly would be a hilarious sight. But after the Giants went 1-5 against the Miami Marlins and Chicago White Sox this week, the team will need to figure out some issues if they want to complete a sweep.
If San Francisco does take all four games in Arizona, we hope someone holds Kuiper to his bet.
Featured in this week’s Power Rankings, Tarik Skubal shows out, the Astros are back among the game’s elite teams, Sonny Gray throws a super-charged Maddux, the Guardians' bats are having a historically-bad June, James Wood gets the Barry Bonds treatment, and the Marlins are unstoppable.
(Please note these power rankings are a combination of current performance and long-term projected outlook)
Note: Rankings are from the morning of Monday, June 30.
1) Dodgers ⬆️
Last week: 2
It’s been a little while, but the Dodgers have reclaimed the top spot in our rankings. Max Muncy has been one of the best hitters in the majors since he began wearing glasses on April 30 to address an astigmatism, batting .296/.422/.593 with 13 home runs and 51 RBI over 51 games. Somebody get this man a Warby Parker endorsement deal.
2) Tigers ⬇️
Last week: 1
It was pretty cool to see the Tigers featured on Sunday Night Baseball this week. Tarik Skubal was obviously amped up for the occasion, as he struck out eight batters (including seven in a row) through the first three innings against the Twins. He ended up fanning 13 batters while allowing just one hit over seven scoreless frames. He’s on another level right now.
3) Astros ⬆️
Last week: 7
The Astros were No. 11 in the June 2 edition of MLB Power Rankings, but they’ve climbed into the top-three with an MLB-best 19 wins this month. Rookie outfielder Cam Smith has found his comfort zone of late with four homers and 15 RBI with a .342/.398/.566 batting line over his past 20 games. The club has to hope that Jeremy Peña’s fracture rib won’t keep him out for long.
4) Cubs
Last week: 4
Great sign for the Cubs last Thursday, as Shota Imanaga blanked the Cardinals with five-innings of one-hit ball in his return from a hamstring injury. The southpaw now holds a 2.83 ERA across his first 38 starts in the majors.
5) Phillies ⬇️
Last week: 3
The Phillies’ rotation has featured some excellent pitchers in recent years, but what Ranger Suárez is doing right now outshines them all. With another gem against the Braves on Sunday, he’s now posted a 1.19 ERA over his last 10 starts. That’s the lowest by a Phillies starter over a 10-game stretch since Cliff Lee put up a 0.93 ERA over 10 starts to finish the 2011 regular season.
6) Yankees ⬇️
Last week: 5
The Yankees’ lineup continues to be boom or bust at times, but Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been locked in since returning from the injured list on June 3. Including a four-RBI game in Sunday’s win over the Athletics, Chisholm is hitting .318/.379/.600 with six homers, 18 RBI, four steals, and 14 runs scored in that timespan.
7) Rays ⬆️
Last week: 9
Maybe it's the Ken Griffey Jr. nostalgia in me, still something special about seeing a player hit a home run to the warehouse at Camden Yards. This one from Jonathan Aranda in Saturday’s rout against the Orioles traveled 467 feet, the third-longest home run by a Rays player in the Statcast era. Just another accomplishment on his resume this season as All-Star selections approach.
Joey Ortiz has struggled miserably out of the gate this season, but he’s turned the corner in a huge way recently with three homers, 11 RBI, and a .326/.354/.522 batting line over his last 11 games. He had just two home runs over his previous 70 games this season.
9) Cardinals ⬆️
Last week: 13
Sonny Gray needed just 89 pitches to complete a one-hit shutout — with 11 strikeouts and no walks — against the Guardians on Friday night. While a “Maddux” is all well and good, but even cooler for Gray was that it was his first shutout in nearly 10 years.
10) Mets ⬇️
Last week: 6
The Mets have lost 13 out of their last 16 games and were outscored 30-4 while being swept by the Pirates this past weekend. Tenth might be too high given their pitching struggles/injuries and ice cold offense.
11) Padres ⬆️
Last week: 10
All the talent on the Padres and would you believe that Gavin Sheets leads the team in RBI? It’s true. Sheets was in the middle of everything in Saturday’s win over the Reds; he went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, two doubles, and this excellent catch in left field.
A great victory for Padres general manager A.J. Preller.
12) Giants ⬇️
Last week: 8
Bad times. After being swept by the Marlins, the Giants went on to lose two out of three to the White Sox over the weekend. The Giants are now 4-8 since the Rafael Devers trade.
13) Blue Jays
Last week: 12 ⬇️
The Blue Jays sit three games behind the Yankees for first-place in the AL East going into a four-game series at Rogers Centre to begin the week. It doesn’t get bigger than this in late June/early July.
14) Reds ⬆️
Last week: 17
In the same game where Nick Martinez came within three outs of a no-hitter, Spencer Steer put up a three-homer game Friday against the Padres. Bothered by a lingering shoulder issue during spring training, Steer endured a rough start to the season, but he’s hitting .442 (19-for-43) over his last 11 games.
Cal Raleigh’s first half has already been a great story, but it has a chance to get even better at the Home Run Derby next month. Cal’s dad, Todd, is expected to throw to him and the hope is that his younger brother, Todd Jr., will serve as the catcher for the festivities. Sure, Ronald Acuña Jr. will be the hometown hero in this one, but how can you root against this?
The Rangers continue to hover around the .500 mark, which has basically been their life dating back to late April. At least there’s room for positivity within the starting rotation. Jacob deGrom is coming off a no-hit bid, Nathan Eovaldi is back from the injured list, and Kumar Rocker has enjoyed the best three-start stretch of his young career.
17) Diamondbacks ⬆️
Last week: 19
The Diamondbacks blew a four-run lead on Sunday while getting swept by the Marlins. The bullpen has been a sore spot, as they rank 28th in the majors with a 5.22 ERA.
18) Angels ⬆️
Last week: 23
Jo Adell has finally arrived? The 26-year-old is tied with Juan Soto for the MLB lead with 11 home runs this month. He’s cut down on his strikeouts and is showing an uptick in barrels and average exit velocity, so there’s plenty to like here. In fantasy baseball, this is what we call a post-post-post hype breakout.
19) Braves ⬇️
Last week: 16
For the Braves, it has routinely been one step forward and two steps back. Are they running out of time? In theory, there’s a boost for the offense on the way, as Jurickson Profar is set to make his return on Tuesday from his 80-game PED suspension.
20) Red Sox ⬇️
Last week: 15
Saturday’s 15-run explosion is more of the exception since the Rafael Devers trade. The Red Sox are hitting .215 with a .656 OPS since the trade. Oddly enough, the Giants have the same batting average and OPS during that time.
21) Guardians ⬇️
Last week: 18
The Guardians have hit just .206 in the month of June. According to the Associated Press, that’s the third-worst batting average in franchise history for a month with at least 13 games played.
22) Twins
Last week: 22
The Twins’ bullpen somehow has a 6.80 ERA this month. Nobody will be happier to see that calendar flip to July on Tuesday.
23) Royals ⬇️
Last week: 21
The Royals snapped an 11-game home losing streak (and a six-game losing streak overall) in Saturday’s victory over the Dodgers. The Royals have lost 17 games this month, their worst month since August of 2023.
24) Marlins ⬆️
Last week: 27
The hottest team in baseball is…the Marlins? Thanks to a five-run eighth inning against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, the Marlins have won seven straight games. Rookie slugger Agustín Ramírez continues to be a force and Edward Cabrera is delivering on the promise he’s shown in the past.
25) Pirates ⬆️
Last week: 28
How dominant was the Pirates’ three-game sweep over the Mets over the weekend? We’re talking something that hasn’t happened for the Pirates in 90 years kind of dominance.
this is the third time in franchise history the Pirates won every game of a series by at least seven runs:
June 27-29, 2025 vs Mets
May 13-15, 1935 at Philadelphia
May 29-30, 1893 vs Baltimore
It’s always eyebrow-raising to see a team score 22 runs, as the Orioles did on Friday night. But it’s even more interesting that the Rays held a 6-0 lead in the second inning. How many O's fans do you think turned off that game early?
27) Nationals ⬇️
Last week: 25
This year has spiraled out of control for the Nationals, but there’s already immense respect being shown to 22-year-old slugger James Wood. The Angels gave him four intentional walks on Sunday.
Players to be intentionally walked 4+ times in a game, since IBB officially tracked (1955):
2025 James Wood
2004 Barry Bonds (4 games)
2001 Manny Ramirez
1990 Andre Dawson
1985 Garry Templeton
1962 Roger Maris
Has Luis Severino been traded yet? What about now? Severino hasn’t been shy about his thoughts about playing in Sacramento. And while he got crushed at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, he has seen much better results at home than at Sutter Health Park. It’s a tricky spot given the three-year, $67 million deal (largest guaranteed free agent deal in franchise history) he signed with the A’s this past offseason, but it sounds like an untenable situation.
29) White Sox
Last week: 29
Signed in May, Adrian Houser has turned into a nifty little trade chip for the White Sox. The 32-year-old has reeled off a 1.90 ERA over his first seven starts with the club, including seven scoreless frames against the Giants on Saturday.
In other news, check out White Sox rookie Chase Meidroth going all Matrix to avoid this tag at second base on Sunday.
Marveling at Tyler Freeman’s month of June. He’s hitting .373 with a .478 on-base percentage and has struck out just four times in 92 plate appearances. One of those strikeouts came on Sunday and he was ejected (along with Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer) for his disapproval.

Here are five things to watch and predictions as the Mets and Brewers play a three-game series at Citi Field starting on Wednesday at 1:10 p.m. on SNY.
5 things to watch
The Mets' starting rotation has been a big issue
As bad as the Mets' weekend sweep at the hands of the Pirates was, two of the losses can be chalked up to poor starting pitching, as David Peterson and Frankie Montas got jumped early to make Friday and Sunday's games relatively non-competitive.
In the cases of Peterson (who has had two bad starts in a row after being tremendous before that) and Montas (who was great in his first start back from the IL), it's fair to expect they'll be fine going forward.
Peterson gets the start in the series finale on Thursday, which will follow starts by Clay Holmes and Blade Tidwell during Wednesday's doubleheader.
Holmes was solid against the Braves last Wednesday, tossing 5.0 innings of one-run ball while allowing three hits, walking four, and striking out two. His issues with bases on balls and his increased workload will continue to be something to watch, though.
As far as Tidwell, he was hit hard in relief against the Pirates on Friday, surrendering four runs in just 3.1 innings. That came after a decent showing against the Phillies on June 20, when he allowed two runs on four hits in 3.2 innings.
Vientos returned on Friday but didn't provide much, going 1-for-13 while striking out five times.
That Vientos looked rusty shouldn't be a surprise, given the fact that his rehab assignment was relatively short and that he had gone nearly a month without an at-bat in a big league game.
But the Mets badly need Vientos to provide better at-bats, which would help lengthen a lineup that has been very inconsistent lately.
Vientos had been hitting relatively well in the six weeks before his injury, and he has the type of power bat that can make a serious impact if he finds his footing.
When are the reinforcements coming?
As the Mets hope for their rotation and offense to stabilize, help is on the way.
Sean Manaea, whose rehab was briefly paused due to a cortisone shot in his elbow after a loose body was discovered, will make another rehab start on Wednesday. That could potentially be Manaea's final one before returning.
Then there's Kodai Senga, whose return could possibly come shortly after the All-Star break.
Senga is nearing a rehab assignment. And once he gets in rehab games, it might not take long for him to return. Despite being out with a hamstring injury, Senga has continued throwing - and threw off the mound last week.
Another key cog the team could get back soon is Jesse Winker, who is in the middle of a rehab assignment.
Jacob Misiorowski
Misiorowski, one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, has been a force of nature since debuting on June 12.
In three starts, he has allowed just two runs on three hits while walking seven and striking out 19 in 16.0 innings.
The wiry right-hander features a fastball that regularly touches triple digits, and a devastating slider that he throws in the low-90s. He also mixes in a curve and changeup.
Misiorowski gets a start during Wednesday's doubleheader.
The Brewers have been hot
During a season that started with Milwaukee being a bit of an afterthought when it came to the playoffs, they're again right in the middle of things.
The Brewers have won eight of their last 10 games, trail the Cubs by just 2.0 games for first place in the NL Central, and are holding the second Wild Card spot.
A lot of that can be linked to Milwaukee's solid starting pitching, which includes Freddy Peralta, former Met Jose Quintana (who starts on Thursday) and now has Misiorowski.
Offensively, they're getting strong contributions from the usual suspects. That includes Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, Rhys Hoskins, Sal Frelick, and Brice Turang.
Predictions
Who will the MVP of the series be?
Francisco Lindor
Lindor is overdue for a breakout.
Which Mets pitcher will have the best start?
Clay Holmes
Holmes carries a 2.97 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into Tuesday's outing.
Which Brewers player will be a thorn in the Mets' side?
Rhys Hoskins
Hoskins seems to relish playing the villain in New York.
HOUSTON — Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña has a fractured rib and will be placed on the 10-day injured list.
The team revealed the extent of the injury, saying it was a small fracture in Peña’s left rib cage. The IL move will be retroactive.
Peña was hit in the ribs by a pitch from Chicago Cubs rookie right-hander Cade Horton in the second inning of the Astros’ 7-4 victory .
He didn’t leave the game until the fifth, and the team said X-rays taken that night didn’t reveal the fracture. An MRI and CT scan revealed the fracture, according to the team.
The 27-year-old Pena is having a breakout season, ranking fourth in the major leagues with a .322 batting average. He hit .361 in June.
Peña will be with the team on a six-game road trip that starts in Colorado, according to the Astros. A corresponding roster move will be made, the team said.

The Boston Red Sox’ struggling lineup could soon get a much-needed boost.
Alex Bregman is inching closer to returning from a quad injury that has sidelined him since May 23. According to WEEI’s Rob Bradford, the star third baseman said Monday there is a chance he returns before the All-Star break. Boston’s last game before the break is scheduled for July 13.
Bregman looked like an American League MVP candidate before his injury. Through 51 games, the 31-year-old slashed .299/.385/.553 with 11 homers and 35 RBI. He still ranks second on the team in homers, fourth in RBI, and second in doubles (17).
With Rafael Devers no longer in the picture, the Red Sox desperately need Bregman’s bat in the middle of their lineup. They entered Monday having lost three consecutive series and seven of their last eight games. Since trading Devers, they have a 4-8 record with an average of only 3.83 runs scored per game.
Despite missing the last month, Bregman was the only Red Sox position player to advance to Phase 2 of MLB All-Star Game voting. Phase 2 voting ends Wednesday at noon.
The Red Sox will look to turn things around when they welcome the Cincinnati Reds to Fenway Park on Monday night.

The glasses might’ve come first. But it was a light bulb moment with the swing that made the most profound change.
Just over a month into the season this year, veteran Dodgers slugger Max Muncy was in a desperate search for answers.
Through the team’s first 30 games, his batting average started with a one and his home run total was stuck on zero. His role as the team’s starting third baseman was being called into question, fueling early-season speculation that the team would need to replace him before the trade deadline. He was absorbing daily criticism from fans, while trying not to succumb to internal self-flagellation.
The 10-year veteran had gone through cold starts before. But nothing quite so frustrating as this.
“It’s a privilege to play under this pressure, and it’s something I’ve always thrived on, but it doesn’t mean it’s been easy,” Muncy said on the last day of April. “It’s been a rough month.”
Starting that afternoon, however, Muncy made one big change. Upon learning he had astigmatism in his right eye, he began wearing glasses at the plate to balance out his vision. In his first game using them, he hit his first home run of the year.
Then, nine days later, came the real breakthrough.
After spending the entirety of the winter tinkering with his swing, and most of the opening month trying to calibrate his mechanics, everything suddenly synched up during a May 9 at-bat in Arizona.
Muncy took a quick hack at a high fastball from Diamondbacks reliever Kevin Ginkel. He lined a ninth-inning, tying single through the right side of the infield in the Dodgers’ eventual win at Chase Field. And he realized that, finally, he’d found a feeling in the batter’s box he’d been chasing the last several years.
A demarcation point had just been established.
And Muncy’s season has been transformed ever since.
“The funny thing about baseball is, sometimes, it just takes one swing, one play, one pitch to lock someone in,” he said. “And ever since that day, I’ve had that feeling in the back of my head. Like, ‘That’s what it’s supposed to feel like.’”
In 36 games before then, Muncy was hitting .188 with only one home run, eight RBIs and 43 strikeouts; his early days with the glasses not even leading to an immediate turnaround.
But since May 9, he has been one of the best hitters in baseball, and on one of the most prolific stretches of his entire career. Over his last 43 games, Muncy’s batting average is .313, a personal best over any span that long in the majors. He has 12 home runs and a whopping 47 RBIs, a major-league-leading total in that stretch. According to Fangraphs’ all-encompassing wRC+ statistic, only Ronald Acuña Jr., Cal Raleigh, Aaron Judge and Ketel Marte have been more productive at the plate.
And, most important, he has re-established himself as a central cog in the Dodgers’ lineup.
“He’s one of our most trusted hitters,” manager Dave Roberts said this past weekend. “I haven’t always been able to say that.”
Being a better, more trusted hitter has been a work in progress for Muncy ever since the devastating elbow injury he suffered at the end of 2021.
In Muncy’s prime years with the Dodgers from 2018-21, he not only blossomed as one of the best sluggers in baseball by belting 118 home runs over a four-year stretch, but did so while posting a .246 batting average and .371 on-base-percentage; solid marks for a power threat occupying a key role in the middle of the Dodgers’ order.
At the core of that all-around approach was an ability to handle pitches to all parts of the plate — none more important than elevated fastballs at the top of the strike zone.

“When I’m going well, I’m a really good high-fastball hitter,” Muncy said earlier this year.
“When Max is covering that pitch,” added hitting coach Aaron Bates, “it allows him to do so many other things as a hitter.”
Coming off his elbow injury, however, getting to high heat became a weakness in Muncy’s game. For much of the next two years, when he still hit for power but batted only a combined .204, he felt “it was really hard to replicate” his old swing. Last year, he made some incremental progress — when he batted .232 — but was stalled by an oblique strain that cost him the middle three months of the season.
Thus, this winter, Muncy set his mind to rediscovering his old mechanics.
“It really wasn’t that big of a change,” he said. “It was just going back to what I did when I first got here from 2018 to 2021. The same philosophy I had all those years.”
The work started in January, when Bates and fellow Dodgers hitting coach Robert Van Scoyoc visited Muncy at his home in Texas and crafted a simple focus for the 34-year-old’s offseason work: Purposely practice hitting grounders and line drives on a lower trajectory, in hopes it would train his swing to stay on top of the ball even on pitches up in the zone.
“You know he’s naturally going to have loft in his swing to elevate the baseball easily,” Bates said. “So that was a focus point for him, making sure he can hit a hard line drive on a pitch up in the zone, not necessarily trying to elevate it more than he needs to.”
A sound theory, with some disastrous early results.
At the start of the year, Muncy’s new swing thought bred other unexpected bad habits. In his effort to stay on top of the ball, he was opening up his backside and letting his front shoulder drift too far forward at the start of his move. As a result, Muncy had trouble squaring the ball and keeping his bat level through the strike zone. It led to not only a lack of power, but a diminished ability to distinguish the kind of pitches being thrown — evidenced by a nearly 32% strikeout rate in April that was seventh-highest among MLB hitters.
“That’s where it’s tough playing the sport,” Muncy said. “Because you can’t chase results immediately, even though you kind of have to. You have to chase the process in the long run.”
And even as external pressure over his dwindling production mounted, Muncy said the club’s coaches and front office assured him he’d have time to keep working through it.
“It’s easier to stick with something long-term when that’s the case,” Muncy said. “And for me, that’s been my entire career. Trust the process, not the result.”
During late April, Muncy’s process included a visit to the same eye doctor who had diagnosed Kiké Hernández with eye astigmatism last year; a discovery that prompted Hernández to start wearing glasses, and keyed a sudden offensive turnaround in the second half of the season.
Turned out, Muncy had a similar problem. Though his vision was 20/12, astigmatism in his right eye had made him left-eye dominant, a subtle but limiting dynamic for a left-handed hitter.
Thus, on the last day of the month, Muncy also started wearing prescription-lensed glasses, and christened the new eyewear with a home run in his first game using them.
“It’s not necessarily something that I need,” Muncy said. “But just any chance at all it evens out both eyes for me, I’ve been taking it.”
Yet, in his first week using them, he still went just six-for-28 with nine strikeouts and only five walks. He was still grinding through his adjustments to his mechanics. He was still waiting for one swing where everything would feel synced up.
When Muncy came to the plate in that May 9 game against the Diamondbacks to face Ginkel, he surveyed the situation, put his swing mechanics out of his head, and tried to focus on only one objective.
“It was guy on second, no outs,” Muncy recalled, “so I was trying to give up the at-bat, get the ball on the ground to the right side of second base, and move the runner from second to third.”
Throughout his career, this is when Muncy is at his best. When his mind isn’t clouded by the pressure to produce, or the particulars of his swing. When he’s “going out there and just trying to play the situation,” he explained. “Like, ‘What is my at-bat calling for in this moment?’ ”
And on that day in Arizona, with the Dodgers trailing by one run in the ninth, that simplified mindset gave Muncy his moment of long-awaited clarity.
Ginkel threw a 95 mph fastball up near Muncy’s chest. The slugger hit it with the kind of quick, level swing he’d spent all winter attempting to craft.
As the ball rocketed through the right side of the infield for a game-tying single, Muncy felt a light bulb go off as he pulled into first base.

“I was so short and direct to it, it just triggered something in my head,” Muncy said. “It kind of took all the stuff I’d been working on, even going back to the winter, and was like, ‘OK, this is how I’m trying to get it to feel.’ ”
Muncy hasn’t looked back ever since.
By being able to cover the top of the strike zone, he hasn’t had to cheat on fastballs or hunt on tougher pitches to hit around his knees. When coupled with the glasses that have helped him better differentiate velocity from spin, he’s been able to be selective and wait out mistakes.
“There’s been spells in his career where it was the three [true] outcomes and that was it,” Roberts said, long a believer in Muncy’s ability to be a more potent hit collector, rather than just a high-powered, high-strikeout slugging presence. "Now, I think he’s a complete hitter. So you see the runs batted in, the homers, the quality of at-bats all tick up."
During this torrid two-month stretch, highlights have come in bunches for Muncy. He’s had two seven-RBI games and another with six. He hit a game-tying home run in the ninth inning against the New York Mets on June 3. He had two grand slams in the span of three games last week.
He has gone from the subject of trade deadline rumors to a fan-voting finalist to make the All-Star Game.
He knows it’s still only been two months; that, in a sport as fickle as baseball, the feeling he has discovered at the plate can just as quickly disappear again.
But for the first time in years, he’s healthy, in sync and possessing total clarity — in both vision and mind — every time he steps to the dish.
“This is definitely more of what I was envisioning,” Muncy said this weekend, reflecting back on the early-season struggles and laborious swing work over the winter that preceded his two-month tear.
“Now, I have the confidence to know I can accomplish pretty much anything I want to do for that situation. Whereas, before, you don’t always have that.”
PHOENIX — There’s never a good time to get drilled on the wrist, but the timing for Giants infielder Casey Schmitt couldn’t have been worse. Schmitt went on the IL on Monday a few days after getting hit, halting — at least for now — his best run as a big leaguer.
Schmitt was hit in the ninth inning of last Wednesday’s game against the Miami Marlins and had been unable to return to the lineup. An X-ray and CT scan last week came back clean, but the Giants sent Schmitt for an MRI on Monday in Arizona after he was unable to play during the series in Chicago.

Schmitt said Monday that the MRI showed only a bone bruise, but it’s in a tricky spot. He’s able to hold a bat, but because the bruise is on the top of his hand, he is unable to swing pain-free.
Schmitt hit .375 with four homers and a 1.090 OPS in 14 games after taking over for the injured Matt Chapman at third base. He was playing so well at his natural position that it had become clear that he would become the starting second baseman whenever Chapman returned, which manager Bob Melvin said could be in a week for the start of the Giants’ homestand.
Schmitt still is the frontrunner to take that role, but his momentum has been stopped. With his IL stint retroactive to July 27, Schmitt should be back after 10 days on July 7 when the Giants play the Philadelphia Phillies at Oracle Park — the same date Chapman could return.
Tyler Fitzgerald, the second baseman until recently, returned from Triple-A to take Schmitt’s roster spot. Fitzgerald was in the starting lineup at second on Monday, with Christian Koss starting at third.
It's Monday, June 30 and the Reds (44-40) are in Boston to take on the Red Sox (41-44). Chase Burns is slated to take the mound for Cincinnati against Garrett Crochet for Boston.
Burns' debut in the Major League was phenomenal. He struck out the first five batters he faced. While Jacob Misiorowski is the favorite to win NL ROY, Burns is the third favorite at +900.
The Red Sox are fourth in the AL East and have played poorly. They have only won three of their last 10 games, and have lost their last three series.
The Reds are four games over .500, but are just fourth in the NL Central. With Burns on the mound for them, they hope to start the series strong with a win.

CLEVELAND — To say June was a bad month for the Cleveland Guardians would be an understatement.
One of the worst offensive months in team history would be more like it.
The Guardians went 9-15 in June and had a .206 batting average, which is tied for the third-worst batting month in franchise history with at least 13 games played.
“We need to score more. We need to get more going,” manager Stephen Vogt said. “We’re all trying to be perfect right now, whether it’s pitchers, position players, doesn’t matter. Everybody’s trying to be perfect. We need to relax. We need to just take a deep breath, take a step back and go play baseball.”
Cleveland, which is on a four-game losing streak, begins a three-game series at the Chicago Cubs. At 40-42, they are 2 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot after being five games over .500 and in wild-card position on June 1. Last season, the Guardians won the AL Central and reached the AL Championship Series.
The Guardians dropped five of six on its recent homestand and were shut out three times. They have scored runs in only two of the last 40 innings. They scored 72 runs during the month, the third-fewest they have scored in a June in franchise history.
“I think it’s frustrating, but if we knew the answer, we would’ve done it two months ago,” outfielder Nolan Jones said. “We have the arms to compete against anybody and have some guys who have been swinging it well and some guys like myself who haven’t been contributing a ton.”
José Ramírez is seventh in the American League with a .309 batting average, and leadoff hitter Steven Kwan is 11th at .295. The rest of the everyday lineup, though, doesn’t have anyone batting above .250.
The organization hoped catcher Bo Naylor would bounce back after batting only .201 last season, but that hasn’t happened. Naylor has a .168 average and mired in a 1 for 31 slump since June 10.
Outfielders Lane Thomas and David Fry — the heroes of last year’s AL Division Series victory over Detroit — also have struggled with injuries and slow starts at the plate. Fry missed the first two months after undergoing offseason elbow surgery and is 6 for 43 with 21 strikeouts since returning.
Thomas — who had stints on the IL because of wrist and foot injuries — is batting .168 but is 6 for 24 in his last seven games.
The lack of offense is not surprising, as it was a potential concern during spring training. The Guardians go into July with a .226 team average, second-lowest in the majors.
Despite the offensive struggles, the Guardians continue to get solid pitching. The staff had a 3.79 ERA in June, which was eighth-lowest in the majors. Shane Bieber was hoping to be back by the All-Star break after having Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last April, but his comeback is delayed by elbow soreness.
Chris Antonetti, Cleveland’s president of baseball operations, did credit Naylor as one reason for the pitching staff’s solid month.
“The pitching staff has not wavered, and the fact that he’s been able to help and he’s been a big part of that group making progress over the last couple months and separate his offense out from that, it’s a great credit to him,” Antonetti said.
Whether help is on the way through the minors or other moves leading up to the July 31 MLB trade deadline is something to keep an eye on.
Outfielder Chase DeLauter is batting .305 in Triple-A Columbus with a 26-game on-base streak, while first baseman/outfielder C.J. Kayfus has 10 home runs and a .303 average.
The biggest concern with DeLauter remains injuries. He was contending for a roster spot during spring training before having surgery in March to address a sports hernia injury.
“We’re constantly thinking about, ‘How do we find that right mix of guys to give us the best chance to compete each night at the major league level.’ And we do believe that we will get reinforcements and support from some players that are not yet at the major league level,” Antonetti said. “I think as we look forward, the results will be better from here than they’ve been over the last month. I don’t think the last month is indicative of the potential of the guys that are on the roster.”
After a difficult June, the schedule doesn’t get any easier for the Guardians. After the Cubs series, they host AL Central leader Detroit for three games before a seven-game road trip to Houston and the Chicago White Sox ahead of the All-Star break.
“We’ve got 13 games in a row coming up after this off-day. We have an opportunity to get it rolling, and that’s the way I look at it,” Vogt said. “This is a really talented team. I believe in each and every one of these guys, and I know we’re going to break out of it.”
The Boston Red Sox farm system still has plenty of promising young talent outside of Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell, and Marcelo Mayer.
Several players have emerged as candidates to take over the No. 1 spot in Boston’s prospect rankings once Anthony and Mayer officially graduate. Among them are slugging outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia and middle infielder Franklin Arias, who both have worked their way into Baseball America’s most recent Top 100 list.
Who else could contend for that top spot? Who are the most intriguing pitchers in the minors? And who’s knocking on the door of the majors?
2025 stats: .288/.423/.491, 10 HR, 29 RBI, 51 BB, 56 SO (58 games at Triple-A Worcester); .193/.324/.333, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 10 BB, 17 SO (18 games for Boston)
Roman Anthony has finally arrived. And although the above MLB numbers don’t jump off the page, they don’t tell the whole story of his first taste of the big leagues.
Anthony, the No. 1 prospect in baseball, has hit the ball hard in many of his plate appearances so far with Boston. He started to find the gaps more during the Red Sox’ series against the Toronto Blue Jays, going 6-for-13 at the plate with three doubles. He recorded his first career three-hit game on Saturday.
2nd inning: 107.9 mph single 5th: Double down the line 8th: 107.2 mph ground-rule double
Roman Anthony showed off his ability to produce eye-popping exit velocities in his first multhit game for the @RedSox. pic.twitter.com/7zRL4y28tW
It feels like Anthony’s breakout is imminent. Don’t be surprised if he surges into the American League Rookie of the Year conversation by the season’s end.
2. Marcelo Mayer, INF
2025 stats: .271/.347/.471, 9 HR, 43 RBI, 20 BB, 38 SO (43 games at Triple-A Worcester); .208/.262/.429, 4 HR, 7 RBI, 6 BB, 26 SO (27 games for Boston)
Like Anthony, Mayer is hitting the ball hard when he makes contact. However, he has struggled more than his fellow top prospect in the swing-and-miss department.
Still, Mayer has looked the part so far in the majors. His left-handed power has been on display with four homers thus far, including two in one game against Tampa Bay:
Mayer’s silky smooth infield defense has been the most impressive part of his game. The 22-year-old has perennial Gold Glove candidate written all over him.
3. Franklin Arias, SS
2025 stats: .302/.353/.410, 4 HR, 38 RBI, 20 BB, 27 SO (19 games at Low-A Salem, 45 games at High-A Greenville)
MLB ETA: 2027
Arias’ bat cooled off considerably in June. The promising 19-year-old slashed .169/.228/.265 this month after hitting .404/.438/.576 in May.
It’s likely a minor blip on the radar for Arias, who has emerged as a candidate for the No. 1 spot in Boston’s prospect rankings once Anthony and Mayer officially graduate. With elite bat-to-ball skills and impressive middle-infield defense, Arias looks like the real deal.
“He’s a really exciting prospect,” SoxProspects.com’s Ian Cundall said in a recent conversation with NBC Sports Boston. “He’s someone that, what really stands out is the hit tool. He’s arguably the best pure hitter in the system. … When you see him play, he’s just on base every time. He puts the ball in play, he gets on base.”

4. Luis Perales, RHP
2025 stats: N/A
MLB ETA: 2027
Perales has begun a throwing program after undergoing Tommy John surgery last June. The 22-year-old flamethrower has tremendous top-of-the-rotation upside, but it remains to be seen if he’ll have the same stuff when he returns from injury.
5. Jhostynxon Garcia, OF
2025 stats: .275/.359/.486, 12 HR, 40 RBI, 33 BB, 67 SO (33 games at Double-A Portland, 33 games at Triple-A Worcester)
MLB ETA: 2026
Garcia, perfectly nicknamed “The Password,” has taken over for Anthony and Mayer as the star in Worcester. The 22-year-old slugger was promoted to Triple-A in mid-May and has done nothing but rake since, slashing .292/.363/.569 with nine homers and 23 RBI in 33 games for the WooSox.
Major League Baseball has recognized Garcia’s performance by naming him to the 2025 All-Star Futures Game. He will be Boston’s lone representative at the July 13 event in Atlanta.
6. James Tibbs III, OF
2025 stats: .246/.374/.452, 12 HR, 32 RBI, 48 BB, 57 SO (57 games at High-A Eugene, 11 games at Triple-A Worcester)
MLB ETA: 2027
The Red Sox acquired Tibbs from the San Francisco Giants as part of the Rafael Devers trade. The 22-year-old outfielder was picked 13th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft, one slot behind the Red Sox’ selection of outfielder Braden Montgomery, who was sent to the Chicago White Sox in the offseason deal for Garrett Crochet.
Tibbs was red-hot with 12 homers in High-A before joining the Red Sox organization, but he has yet to find his groove at Double-A Portland. That’s likely to change soon as the former Florida State standout boasts impressive power that has been showcased for most of his collegiate and professional career.

7. Yoeilin Cespedes, SS/2B
2025 stats: .236/.288/.391, 5 HR, 32 RBI, 19 BB, 55 SO (60 games at Low-A Salem)
MLB ETA: 2028
Cespedes looked outstanding last year in rookie ball before suffering a season-ending hand injury. The 19-year-old hasn’t been able to find consistency at the plate since, though he has shown flashes of his potential with 13 doubles, four triples, and five homers this year in Low-A.

8. Dorian Soto, SS
2025 stats: .382/.413/.574, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 5 BB, 11 SO (18 games at Dominican Summer League)
MLB ETA: 2029
The Red Sox signed Soto — no relation to Juan Soto — as a 16-year-old out of the Dominican Republic in January. Now 17, the talented infielder is tearing the cover off the ball in the Dominican Summer League.
— Red Sox Player Development (@RedSoxPlayerDev) June 20, 2025
Soto is a switch-hitting shortstop listed at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, and he’s likely not done growing yet. If he lives up to his lofty potential in the minors, we could see Soto inside the top five Red Sox prospect rankings in no time.
9. David Sandlin, RHP
2025 stats: 4-3, 3.66 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 21 BB, 69 SO (13 appearances, including 11 starts at Double-A Portland)
MLB ETA: 2026
Sandlin has only gotten better as the season has gone on in Portland. The hard-throwing righty has allowed just one hit and zero runs across his last 10 innings of work.

— Red Sox Player Development (@RedSoxPlayerDev) June 29, 2025
Sandlin has a 2.18 ERA over his last six outings (five starts). It’s all starting to come together for the promising 24-year-old, who arrived via the John Schreiber trade with the Kansas City Royals in 2024.
10. Connelly Early, LHP
2025 stats: 6-1, 1.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 24 BB, 81 SO (12 appearances, including nine starts at Double-A Portland)
MLB ETA: 2026
Early has been one of the breakout stars of Boston’s farm system this year. The 23-year-old southpaw has made it look easy at Double-A, including during a brilliant performance Sunday in which he tossed six no-hit innings with seven strikeouts.
Absolute dominance from Connelly Early on Sunday. 😮💨
