Mick Abel back with Phillies, looks to show stellar debut was no fluke

Mick Abel back with Phillies, looks to show stellar debut was no fluke originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

The Phillies placed Zack Wheeler on the paternity list Wednesday to activate rookie right-hander Mick Abel for his second big-league start in Toronto.

A player can remain on MLB’s paternity list for 1-to-3 days. Wheeler and wife Dominique are expecting their fourth child, which was why his start Tuesday was pushed back. It is unclear at this point when he will pitch next. The Phillies are in Toronto Wednesday and Thursday then Pittsburgh Friday through Sunday.

Abel is back up after pitching six scoreless innings and striking out nine Pirates in his MLB debut on May 18. He was sent down to the minors the next day as the Phillies reintroduced Taijuan Walker to the rotation and Abel allowed one earned in 10⅔ innings over two Triple A starts, striking out 16 but also walking seven.

Walker has since been moved to the bullpen for the rest of 2025. Abel is up to fill a rotation spot until Aaron Nola returns from a right ankle sprain. Nola has been sidelined since May 15 but is scheduled to face hitters in live batting practice for the first time on Thursday. The next step would be a quick rehab assignment.

Abel didn’t walk anyone in his MLB debut. In the minors, he had just one walk-free outing dating back all the way to April 2022. That’s going to be a key Wednesday, in the second half and probably for the rest of Abel’s career. The stuff is good enough to get outs when he’s around the zone and not missing uncompetitively. Abel showed a 96-97 mph fastball, struck out five batters with his curveball and held the Pirates to 0-for-9 in at-bats ending on a curve, slider or changeup in his first start.

The degree of difficulty will rise in outing No. 2 as Toronto boasts a more dangerous offense with Bo Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Alejandro Kirk and George Springer, and plays in a hitter-friendly park. The Blue Jays have scored 42 runs the last five games. The Phillies gave them little chance by scoring six in the first inning of Tuesday’s 8-3 win.

Tempers flare between Red Sox, Angels before Wednesday's game

Tempers flare between Red Sox, Angels before Wednesday's game originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

There were fireworks before Wednesday’s Boston Red Sox-Los Angeles Angels matchup at Fenway Park, with multiple coaches and players on both sides involved in a heated exchange.

The dust-up started with Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson and Red Sox first base coach Jose Flores jawing at one another. As Anderson walked away, Angels pitching coach Barry Enright approached Flores to continue the altercation.

You can watch the video of the exchange here.

Another angle of the incident captured multiple Red Sox and Angels players stepping into the fray.

According to multiple reports, Anderson took issue with Flores apparently stealing signals during the left-hander’s start against Boston on Monday. Anderson allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks, but the Angels still pulled off a 7-6 win in the series opener.

Perhaps the pregame fracas will give the Red Sox the emotional spark they desperately need. They entered Wednesday’s game with a 29-34 record — 10 games back in the American League East — after dropping Tuesday’s matchup 4-3 in extra innings. They’ve posted a 12-19 record since May 1.

Boston will look to avoid getting swept on Wednesday. From there, the team will hit the road for a tough three-game series against the first-place New York Yankees.

Hernández: Can Clayton Kershaw contribute to Dodgers' title chase? 'I'm gonna bet on him'

Los Angeles, CA, Tuesday June 3, 2025 - Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw (22) allowed 5 runs over 4.2 innings against the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium, Tuesday, June 3, 2025. (Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times) — The Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw pitched just 4 ⅔ innings Tuesday night against the New York Mets, allowing five runs (three earned). (Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times)

Before anything, Clayton Kershaw has to believe. Before he can snap off curveballs the way he used to, before he can be a dependable member of the rotation instead of last resort, he has to believe.

Clayton Kershaw believes.

Never mind the mounting evidence to the contrary — the 5.17 earned-run average through his four starts this season, the two starts that weren’t interrupted by rain in which he failed to complete five innings, the unremarkable high-80s-to-low-90s fastball, the career-low strikeout rate.

Kershaw believes he can once again be a contributor on a championship team.

“I just need to put it together for a whole game,” Kershaw said, “which I think I can do and will do.”

Who’s to say otherwise?

He’s looked finished before, and he wasn’t. Even with diminished stuff, he’s found ways to get hitters out, so why should this time be any different?

“I’m gonna bet on him,” manager Dave Roberts said.

For now, at least, Roberts doesn’t have a choice. Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell remain sidelined. So is Roki Sasaki.

The next man up would be Bobby Miller, who lasted only three innings in his only major league start this season.

In reality, Kershaw also doesn’t have a choice other than to believe. What’s the alternative?

In the wake of a 10-inning, 6-5 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night in which he pitched just 4 ⅔ innings, Kershaw’s rhetoric and demeanor were remarkably upbeat. He pointed to his recovery from the knee and foot surgeries he underwent over the winter, as well as his shoulder operation from the previous offseason.

“I mean, physically, I feel great,” he said. “I don’t feel old. My arm feels good. There’s not really any excuses. It’s just pitch better, pitch like you’re capable of. I think the stuff’s there. The stuff’s there to get people out.”

Kershaw was charged with five runs, three of them earned. He gave up six hits and three walks.

“It’s kind of in and out for me,” he said. “I think I’ll go on a stretch of making, like, 10 or 11 good pitches in a row and then just make enough bad ones to get some damage done against me.”

In Roberts’ view, his trademark slider lacked “teethiness.” More problematic was his curveball, which was particularly erratic.

“Can’t just be a two-pitch guy out there, so definitely need to throw my curveball better, for sure,” Kershaw said.

The absence of the curveball prevented Kershaw from putting away batters. He had 14 batters into two-strike counts but managed only two strikeouts while giving up four hits and a walk.

“I know he's frustrated because he's getting count leverage with guys and can't put them away by way of strikeout,” Roberts said. “He's competing his tail off, but it just hasn't been as easy as it has been for him prior to this little stretch.”

In Kershaw’s defense, he was let down by, well, his defense.

In the Mets’ two-run five inning, Max Muncy allowed a potential inning-ending double play grounder to skip through his legs. Later, Brandon Nimmo reached base on a train wreck of a defensive play by the Dodgers, allowing the Mets to score and take a 5-4 lead.

Kershaw is 37 now, with more than 3,000 innings pitched in professional baseball. He won’t win another Cy Young Award, and he knows that. The Dodgers know that too, and that’s not what they’re asking of him. What they’re counting on him to do is to take the mound every six or seven days and keep them in games, perhaps take down six or seven innings on occasion to relieve their overworked bullpen.

“I think he's going to approach each start to give us a chance to win,” Roberts said. “And I don't know what that looks like each start, but I think that that's a starting point, and then from that point, as a game goes on, then I'm gonna have to make decisions on what we have behind him.”

Kershaw made an All-Star team just two years ago and started one the year before that. His stuff was almost as diminished then as it is now. He should be able to pitch like that again, and he’s taken a small but critical first step toward doing that. He believes he can.

Why Giants' Webb has been Wilson's toughest at-bat of rookie season

Why Giants' Webb has been Wilson's toughest at-bat of rookie season originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Star Athletics shortstop and AL Rookie of the Month for May, Jacob Wilson, has had a tremendous 2025 MLB season, batting .355 with 81 hits and 32 RBI over 58 games. However, there is one pitcher who has his number: Giants All-Star ace Logan Webb.

Wilson told reporters ahead of the A’s 10-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday in West Sacramento that Webb, whom the rookie faced for the first time on May 16 in a 9-1 loss in San Francisco, posed the hardest matchup he has encountered thus far in his young career.

“I think the toughest at-bat probably was Logan Webb – my first at-bat of that series, being that I never faced him before and [he’s] obviously a bigger name,” Wilson said. “You’re going out there and facing their [Giants] ace, it was a tough at-bat, for sure. He has good stuff. Going out there, I think you just try to battle, hopefully stay confident and spoil the pitches that he throws.”

Quite the admirable admission.

Wilson carries the third-highest batting average behind New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (.387) and Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (.369), but he admittedly had no luck in his lone meeting with Webb.

Webb collected the first out of that May 16 game against Wilson when eliciting a whiff after tossing four straight sinkers and an at-bat-ending sweeper. Webb got Wilson out two more times with groundouts, and the rookie ultimately finished the day 0-for-3.

As he detailed, Wilson has plenty of respect for Webb. But he also gave Webb’s catcher, Patrick Bailey, his flowers for helping the ace with his pitch framing.

“They have Patrick Bailey back there, too, who makes everything look like a strike as well,” Wilson said. “It’s kind of a dual-threat when you go up there. But you just got to go up there and go to battle.”

The A’s and Giants will meet again July 4-6 at Sutter Health Park in what should be a series fans can expect to see Wilson and Webb square off. Will Webb have the rookie’s number once again, or will Wilson make the right adjustments against the ace?
