Thursday is opening day and new rules are in effect, including clocks at stadiums to hurry along pitchers and hitters.

Jacob deGrom trades the Big Apple for the Lone Star State, Corey Kluber anchors Red Sox rotation and Austin Hays shines for resurgent Orioles.

Siri hit .241 in 56 games for the Rays with four home runs, 35 runs and eight steals. Mahle, 28, pitched to a 4.41 ERA in his four starts with the Twins, though shoulder soreness hampered him. His ERA with the Jumbo Shrimp shrunk to 1.74, and he recorded three saves and two holds in 15 appearances. Prior to that, Mahle — a seventh-round pick in 2013 — spent his entire career within the Cincinnati organization, including a strong spell with the Tortugas in 2016 (8-3, 2.50 ERA). Herget will again be in the mix for opportunities, along with Carlos Estévez and Ryan Tepera. He avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.2 million contract in January, and will hit unrestricted free agency in the winter. Lawrence, a former 12th-round pick out of Daytona State, shuffled back and forth between the Rockies and their Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque last year. Weaver joined the Reds on a one-year, $2 million contract in free agency after splitting last season between Arizona and Kansas City. Still, he's got plenty of time to make the necessary adjustments, considering he was four years younger than the average player in Triple-A. The DeLand High grad hit .230 with a .696 OPS, including nine home runs and 41 runs in 240 plate appearances. Set to turn 35 this summer, and not having pitched a full season since 2019, deGrom signed a massive five-year guaranteed contract in the winter worth $185 million. He made national headlines by leaving the New York Mets in the winter to join the Texas Rangers.

On a busy opening day, every team is in action. Between M.L.B.'s new rules and some intriguing player movement, you might want to get caught up.

history to qualify for both the batting title and the E.R.A. Earlier in the day, the Yankees put Gerrit Cole up against a major breakout candidate in Logan Webb of the San Francisco Giants. If Ohtani plays the way he did in the last two seasons, he might make that Judge contract look tiny by comparison. He has made it clear he will walk away to find a chance to win. He’s a 55-60 runner but it plays up on the bases because he has great instincts both for reading pitchers and reading situations. Here’s a look at some of the [new rules](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/02/24/sports/baseball/mlb-rule-changes.html?action=click&pgtype=Article&state=default&module=styln-mlb-season&variant=show®ion=MAIN_CONTENT_1&block=storyline_levelup_swipe_recirc) taking effect this season: The Yankees, whose games averaged a major league-high 3 hours 13 minutes last season, beat the San Francisco Giants, 5-0, in the first game of the day. While at shortstop, he’s got great hands and gets himself into the right position to make plays more than most shortstops I see. So it’s safe to say the team thinks Volpe, 21, has a bright future. After months of speculation about how new rules will change the game and a spring training filled with fast games and plenty of flubs, opening day of the 2023 Major League Baseball season is finally here. As for the effects of that clock on the game? (Switching to overhand pitching in the late 19th century was probably more extreme, but let’s put that aside.)

The first president to throw the ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game was William Howard Taft in 1910.

Abbott threw out the first pitch in 2020 on video when fans were not allowed at games due to Covid-19. Mankin, who will throw the first pitch at Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S.

After an eventful offseason, Opening Day 2023 is finally here! Will the Houston Astros repeat as World Series champions? Will Aaron Judge continue his ...

Justin Verlander: "The fact that I am going to be able to continue to throw is showing how minor of an injury it is. Michael Grove made the Opening Day roster. Chris Ilitch, chairman and CEO of the Detroit Tigers, was calling. He showed Rob the screen. Padres reliever Robert Suarez, in his estimation, has one of the nastiest changeups in the sport. That’s one of the best pitches you’ve ever seen in your whole career.’” Bryce Harper is sitting there, rewatching the pitch immediately before the swing of his life, and it is a few minutes past 9 a.m. Easily one of the five most talented teams in the game. Yeah, I’m all in on the Dads. Walker’s debut also marks only the eighth time in franchise history a player age 20 or younger appeared on Opening Day for the Cardinals. Last year, the Blue Jays led MLB with a .264 team batting average and 1,464 hits. And how will the new rules change the game?

Offseason chaos. A historic World Baseball Classic. New rules. After a wild winter, MLB's regular season starts today with all 30 teams in action.

At 21 years and 336 days, Volpe will be the youngest player in the Yankees' Opening Day starting lineup since Derek Jeter in 1996 (21 years and 281 days).

One of the most glorious days on the sports calendar is here at last. It's Opening Day.

We don’t expect them to go over that count against the Mariners starter tonight.

In fact, he tallied a career-high 13 Ks against the Dodgers in his start on Sept. That’s why we tacked on the Ahmed prop. Gallen fanned five or more batters in 23 of 31 outings last year, including both against the Dodgers. Tucker and the Astros will face AL Cy Young favourite Dylan Cease tonight, which should certainly be a tough test. Conversely, he has a .845 OPS and 132 wRC+ in shift-free situations.

The first home run of the San Francisco Giants-New York Yankees series came from Aaron Judge. Of course, it did.

Heading into the 2023 MLB season, there wasn't a question about whether the new pitch clock would decrease the length of games. The bigger question was how ...

TBD As the process becomes more streamlined, it isn't unreasonable to think games will average closer to Minor League Baseball's 2022 average of 2:39. It was the seventh straight year and the eighth time in nine seasons the average game length per nine was over three hours. Yankees went 11 innings while Giants vs. Guardians -- came in at under three hours. Four games had no violations, while the most in one game was three (Orioles vs. Thursday started with Yankees vs. White Sox vs. Royals, which ended in 2:49. Giants, the day's first final, ended in 2:33. Although violations abounded early on, teams were down to about one per game by the end of the exhibition season. The bigger question was how prevalent the timer would be in a game.

There is optimism in the air and a pitch clock on the field; the 2023 baseball season is here.

The Astros began their World Series title defense Thursday against the White Sox, but it didn't go as they planned.

Opening Day is such a national holiday, such a relief after months without baseball, that even if every game were an uneventful 6-2 matchup with no ...

(For the record, the first hitter to earn a time violation was Baltimore’s Austin Hays, and later in that game, Boston’s Rafael Devers became the first hitter to strike out on a time violation.) But Opening Day was absolutely not that game, with replacement Robertson -- who, it should be noted, also is on the Top 10 list of active saves leaders -- coming in and shutting down the Marlins in order to finish off a 5-3 victory. Stroman clearly took the violation in stride: He went on to throw six scoreless innings and strike out eight in a 4-0 Cubs victory. Cruz won this round, in an incredible way, by turning on a 101.3 mph heater from Greene in the third inning. He kept hitting the rest of the day, helping the O's score seven runs in the fourth and fifth innings combined to give them a lead they would never relinquish in a 10-9 victory. He is, of course, widely thought to be the long-awaited heir apparent to Derek Jeter at shortstop.
