The baseball season is sliding into the dog days of summer, and we've got the latest on the ups...and the downs.5:30 - Reminder that All Star voting is open, and you can vote 5x/day until June 25th at 12pm ET! We go over current rankings...with some surprises.11:38 - We kick off position player news with the IL report (IKF is on, Tommy is off, Mune is progressing), this week's Hot List features Anthony Volpe with an 8-game on-base streak and Trevor Larnach nearly reaching .500 in his last 7 games, and on the "Less Hot List" Steven Kwan has another tough week at the office and Jahmai Jones has a rough Father's Day. 26:20 - Ohtani shocks us all by announcing the birth of his second child...and only taking one day off for it?! 36:55 - In pitching, Bryan Woo crushes it thanks to some very special patients at Seattle Children's Hospital (and the AIB bump, ofc), Joey Cantillo aka JOEY CURVES is lights out, Shota Imanaga is solid, and Tatsuya Imai has another fantastic start. 48:55 - HOT TOPIC: Are Christians being discriminated against in being punished for putting bible verses on their Pride Night hats?

Lima runs through a packed sports weekend starting with Wyndham Clark's US Open victory at Shinnecock, where the crowd was openly rooting against him after last year's locker room incident, with Scottie Scheffler actually drawing a bigger ovation walking up 18 than the champion did. Lima is fired up about the US men's national team rolling through World Cup group play and the bracket setting up for a potential deep run, while Ken remains unmoved and would need considerably more than two group stage wins to get off the couch. The guys also flag a brutal development for the Guardians, as Steven Kwan has somehow fallen to the lowest OPS among all qualified hitters in baseball, sitting 38 percent below league average. Ken floats the theory that contract uncertainty may be messing with Kwan's head at the plate, noting that sometimes the deals you don't make end up telling the whole story.

Jordan, Brian, and Jack recap a series win in Cleveland for the Boston Red Sox. The team can't seem to figure out the opener for Brayan Bello outings, which is beginning to rear its ugly head. However, the offense is waking up, particularly from outfielder Jarren Duran and infielders Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Caleb Durbin. Even though Steven Kwan missed this series for the Guardians, the Red Sox still took two of three from a first-place team, leaving them two games over .500 on the road. If they ever can figure out how to win at Fenway Park, they might be able to right the ship in 2026.Make sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram, @ThePeskyReport.

Fantasy Baseball Live! – May 24, 2026Segments 1 and 2 – Review the weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.With the struggles of Steven Kwan this season, Travis Bazzana has been moved to the leadoff spot.a.What is your assessment of him so far this season?b.When do we pull the trigger on Steven Kwan and throw him on the waiver wire – he's hitting .199 with 1 home run and 2 SB. Granted, he also has a .224 BABIP, so I would expect a correction. But the xERA is still only .223. Yikes!2.Kevin Alcantara is getting another shot. He can't hit, but there is speed and power. Your thoughts.a.BTW, quietly Spencer Jones was demoted last week. The fanfare of a demotion is never the same as that of a promotion.3.So it's not Franklin Arias at shortstop, the Red Sox are turning to Marcelo Mayer and his .216 batting average and .286 OBP. a.I really missed on this one. The bat speed is clearly there – ranking in the top quartile of the leagues, but his 87 mph EV and 9% of loft is making him an easy out. Makes great contact, it's just weak.i.Your thoughts?4.Gerrit Cole returned and the velo was spot on. The swing miss of his secondary stuff was not quite there but overall he looked good.a.Your thoughts?5.Cristopher Sanchez has pitched 37.2 of scoreless innings. How is that possible? He's also pitching extremely deep into games. Just dominant.6.Jonah Tong quietly got the call but it appears he will pitch out of the bullpen.a.Any interest?7.Taj Bradley is back, touching 100 mph and shoving it. On Saturday, he pitched 5 innings of one run ball, striking out 7.8.Zack Wheeler has been dominant since returning from TOS. I thought pitchers didn't come back very well from that?

The Guardians beat the Angels 7-2 last night, but Ken and Lima bring in producer John point out it was far from pretty as the top four hitters in the order went a combined 0-14, with the team drawing 11 walks to manufacture the offense.
