Cincinnati Reds reliever Aroldis Chapman suffered a potentially career-threatening injury when he was struck by a line drive during spring training, but "The Cuban Missile" is now back in the majors after less than two months, according to the Reds' official Twitter feed:

C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer provides an update on how Chapman will be used initially:

The saying in baseball goes, "It, the season, is a marathon, not a sprint."

It's nearly impossible to predict what will happen over the course of a major league season. Teams slump, players get injured, and the improbable and impossible are always right around the corner.

With that said, it's fun to look into the future, especially when it's the future of a team with as much potential as the New York Yankees. So, with that said, here are three bold predictions for the remainder of the Bronx Bombers' season. 

On Friday, my colleague Joe Giglio wrote an article looking at five MLB players that would be national superstars if they played in big cities. Now we're going to take a look at the opposite end of the spectrum and select five guys who are overrated because of the fact that they play in big cities.

At the conclusion of play on May 8, almost half of the teams in baseball had played at least 35 games or more than 20 percent of the 2014 schedule. By the end of the weekend, every team will reach the 20 percent pole of the season, giving fans a chance to sit back and analyze what narratives to focus in on when summer approaches.

On a day-to-day basis, Major League Baseball players and teams can confound, confuse and frustrate. Yet, over a full season of innings, at-bats and plays, the best individuals and groups emerge to form the backbone of the sport. 

Major League Baseball expanded its use of instant replay for the 2014 season, and that element of America's pastime fostered an unforgettable walk-off end to the Pittsburgh Pirates' 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday.

Baseball fans in Detroit were in for a treat before Tuesday's Houston Astros-Detroit Tigers game.

From time to time, teams will bring in special performers to throw out the first pitch. It can be a robot, an Olympic athlete, or, in this case, a samurai.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to conclude a grueling nine-game road trip this week, one that has featured almost every challenge the team could imagine.

The Baltimore Orioles may soon be slipping down the American League East standings after news that Matt Wieters may be on the shelf for a while:

Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan reported that the All-Star catcher will see renowned orthopedic surgeon James Andrews on Wednesday. There is a chance that Wieters has a torn UCL, which would likely end his 2014 season:

More than a month through the season, the performances of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ top prospects have stabilized. We’ve seen some regression away from the extremely impressive early season numbers put up by many of the young starters. 

The good news for the Chicago Cubs is that most of their top prospects have been true to form to start this season with very few hiccups in the first month. The bad news, which is normally inevitable in baseball, is that some have still gotten off to some disappointing starts. As an organization, the Cubs' top 20 prospects have performed well, but three out of their top 15 have been particularly disappointing thus far.
