The San Francisco Giants officially were eliminated from 2024 MLB playoff contention with a loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday.

The Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday cut ties with nine-time All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel, designating him for assignment and recalling reliever Bryan Baker from the minors. The move could signal the end of what has been an incredibly successful 15-year career for Kimbrel that saw him pitch for eight different teams.

The Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani just became the first player in MLB history to join the 50-50 club. Here are the best reactions from social media.

Shohei Ohtani became the first player in MLB history to reach 50 home runs and 50 steals in the same season as his Los Angeles Dodgers clinched a playoff berth with a 20-4 beatdown of the host Miami Marlins on Thursday afternoon.

It seemingly was going to happen at some point, but Shohei Ohtani made Major League Baseball history on Thursday at the expense of former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Mike Baumann. The chase to become the first player ever to record a 50 home run and 50 stolen bases season has been on for the Japanese phenom since seemingly the middle of summer when his aggressiveness on the basepaths began to increase.
