Tim Tebow’s showcase for Major League Baseball scouts will be held on Aug. 30 in Los Angeles, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman. The showcase will be closed to the public.

Cubs shortstop Addison Russell is joining an elite group, and he’s just getting started.

The last time Addison Russell and Kris Bryant played at Petco Park was in July when they started for the National League All-Star team. On Monday night, they showed why.

The day Yankees rookie catcher Gary Sanchez was named American League Player of the Week, he hit two home runs, combining for three RBIs, in his first three at-bats.

Carlos Santana’s home run, his 27th, in the eighth inning proved to be the only run of the game, as Carlos Carrasco tossed eight scoreless innings for the Indians. Rookie Andrew Triggs was very good as well, tossing six shutout innings for the A’s.

Carlos Carrasco appears to be hitting his stride as Cleveland continues to set its sights on the club’s first division crown since 2007. He tossed eight scoreless innings in a win over the A’s on Monday.

Not even a pair of home runs apiece by the Yankees’ Gary Sanchez and Starlin Castro could derail the Mariners on Monday night at Safeco Field as Seattle rode a pair of three-run blasts by Kyle Seager and Mike Zunino to a 7-5 series-opening win.

Paul Goldschmidt delivered a walk-off homer to lead off the ninth, lifting the D-backs to a 9-8 win over the Braves in the opener of a four-game series on Monday night at Chase Field.

Everyone knew Ben Zobrist would help the Cubs. No one knew just how much.

For as far back as he can remember, Dodgers pitcher Bud Norris had a baseball and bat in his hands. Or golf clubs.

Pirates rookie Jameson Taillon threw eight strong innings on Monday night, but it wasn’t enough to stop his childhood-favorite team. The Astros stayed hot in their pursuit of an American League Wild Card spot, riding seven scoreless innings from Doug Fister to a 3-1 win in the series opener at PNC Park.

The Rays entered Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox having scored 55 runs in the previous seven games. Apparently the only thing that could cool them off was facing Red Sox lefty ace David Price. The former Rays star pitched eight scoreless innings, allowing just two hits in a 6-2 Red Sox win at Tropicana Field.

One day after hitting his first Major League home run and triple in the same game, Red Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi quickly added to his resume Monday night in Boston’s 6-2 victory over the Rays.

And he makes it look easy, too.

If the Dodgers’ bats came alive in Sunday’s win, they were downright perky on Monday. With seven home runs, including four slugged during the top of the fifth inning, Los Angeles took a wild 18-9 victory over the Reds to gain a split of their four-game series.

The first trip Rob Manfred made after being elected Major League Baseball’s 10th Commissioner two years ago was to the Little League World Series. It was an early signal that promoting the game to kids was going to be one of his top priorities.

The Nationals placed right-hander Stephen Strasburg on the 15-day disabled list on Monday with right elbow soreness and recalled righty A.J. Cole from Triple-A Syracuse. Cole will start tonight in Baltimore, replacing Strasburg.
