Former Cy Young Award winner Dean Chance died Sunday, the Angels announced. He was 74.

The Mets will have a new shortstop for Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Monday night at Citi Field. The Dodgers should also turn to a new man at the most important non-battery position on the field. It is time to go to hard-edged, proven, former NL Most Valuable Player Award winner Jimmy Rollins and give young Corey Seager a chance to relax and catch his breath.

Jake Arrieta is set for Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Monday, but Cubs manager Joe Maddon wasn’t ready on Sunday to name his Game 4 starter.

Kris Bryant led all Major League rookies in nearly every offensive category — including RBIs, doubles and runs scored — yet the Cubs’ third baseman has been known for his glovework in the postseason.

The rules allow slides like the one executed by the Dodgers’ Chase Utley in the pivotal seventh inning of L.A.’s 5-2 win in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Mets. The rules also used to allow collisions at home plate, where the catcher wears protective gear from head to toe. And so the hunch here is that the broken leg Ruben Tejada suffered late Saturday night inspires a change to the rules covering the double-play pivot.

A few tweaks in the lineup, two badly timed St. Louis errors and a monster home run by Jorge Soler in Game 2 on Saturday at Busch Stadium helped propel the Cubs to a 6-3 victory over the Cardinals and even the National League Division Series at 1-1.

Excerpts of a Q&A featuring Joe Torre, MLB’s chief baseball officer, and Randy Marsh, director, Major League umpires. They addressed the overturned call in the bottom of the seventh inning of Game 2 of the NLDS between the Mets and Dodgers, which the Dodgers won 5-2

Five years later, Mets third baseman David Wright once again found himself questioning the intent Chase Utley had when he upended Ruben Tejada at second base with a controversial slide.

The Game 1 lineup didn’t work, so Dodgers manager Don Mattingly made numerous changes for Saturday’s Game 2 of the National League Division Series (9 p.m. ET on TBS) against the Mets and starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard.

Jake Arrieta reprised the role of Madison Bumgarner on Wednesday night, almost single-handedly willing the Cubs to a National League Wild Card Game win in Pittsburgh the way Bumgarner did for the Giants a year ago. Now, he’s preparing to take the mound on Monday for Game 3 of the NL Division Series against the Cards in the first playoff game at Wrigley Field since Oct. 2, 2008.

The Royals play like they expect to come back from even the most difficult situations. And why not? They already have.

Manager Mike Matheny provided his first glimpse on Friday on how he may utilize Adam Wainwright, his newest bullpen weapon, throughout the postseason.

The Rangers, holding a 2-0 lead over the Blue Jays in the best-of-five American League Division Series, worked out on Saturday at Globe Life Park, but third baseman Adrian Beltre was excused from attending as he tries to recover in time for Game 3 on Sunday.

Trying to beat Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel is tough enough no matter where you face him. But at Minute Maid Park, Keuchel is flat out dominant — 15-0 with a 1.46 ERA. The Royals know that all too well.

Pitching for the Cardinals in the postseason, Michael Wacha has experienced the extremes of brilliance and the aches that come with failure. Pitching in the regular season of 2015, Wacha was strong through most of the year before hitting a rough patch in September. With all of that in the equation, which Wacha will the Cardinals get when he starts Game 3 of the National League Division Series vs. the Cubs at Wrigley Field?

The Blue Jays had the best record in baseball after July 29, at 43-18. They scored the most runs in the Majors and hit the most home runs. Their rotation had the American League’s best ERA at 3.48.

As David Wright spent most of this summer sidelined by a serious back ailment, he ignored those who doubted his future and longed for the opportunity to do what he did on Friday night, when he once again played the role of captain while helping the Mets claim a 3-1 win over the Dodgers in Game 1 of the National League Division Series.
