New York Mets pitcher Steven Matz is dealing with a bone spur in his left elbow that could cause him to miss at least one start, but he could also be at risk of missing most of the summer.

Continue for updates.

Kris Bryant was the College Player of the Year in 2013, the Minor League Player of the Year in 2014 and the National League Rookie of the Year in 2015.

Clearly, the guy likes to outdo himself. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised about what he's doing in 2016.

Chicago Cubs slugger Kris Bryant is one of baseball's brightest young hitters, and he demolished Dan Straily and the Cincinnati Reds in an 11-8 Cubs victory Monday.

Bryant finished 5-for-5 with three home runs, six RBI and four runs scored, which etched his name into the baseball record book, per MLB's Twitter account:

On Monday, Major League Baseball unveiled the last All-Star voting update before it reveals the starters next month.

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez is the American League's top vote-getter (3,754,594), while Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (2,630,049 votes) owns a slim lead over teammates Ben Zobrist (2,474,852 votes) and Kris Bryant (2,459,704) in the National League.  

Below are the leaders at each position:

Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker confirmed Monday that exciting prospect and right-handed pitcher Lucas Giolito would make his MLB debut Tuesday against the New York Mets, per the team.

The Miami Marlins have reportedly signed veteran pitcher Jeremy Guthrie, who will report to Triple-A before joining the major league club. 

Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi of Fox Sports reported the news.

For the first time all season, we have a new No. 1 team in our weekly MLB power rankings.

The Chicago Cubs have had a stranglehold on the top spot since Opening Day, but between a pair of series losses last week and a 9-11 record in their last 20 games, the gap has officially closed.

The Texas Rangers, San Francisco Giants, Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles comprised the rest of the top five last week, and one of them managed to leap-frog the Cubs. That's as much as we'll say here.

Yadier Molina has established a stellar reputation throughout his 13 years with the St. Louis Cardinals as one of the best defensive catchers in the game's history.

When it comes to his prowess behind the plate at blocking potential wild pitches, framing pitches over the outside or the inside corner and throwing out potential base stealers, Molina belongs in the same class as Johnny Bench and Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez.

Some of this week's fantasy baseball waiver-wire recommendations will cause readers to second-check the article's published date.

Accompanied by a few young up-starts, this list features several former studs well past their glory years. They're all available in over 50 percent of Yahoo Sports leagues, but the veterans would have even smaller ownership rates if not for their past successes.

The Texas Rangers have the best record in the American League, and they've mostly done it without Prince Fielder.

Oh, sure, Fielder has been around, appearing in 72 of the Rangers' 76 games. But for much of that time, he hasn't resembled the lineup-anchoring power hitter Texas expects him to be.
