This week's MLB on Fox: On Deck, highlights include:
  • Fox regionally televises a pair of matchups on Saturday, July 12, live in primetime, on this week's edition of Baseball Night in America (7:30 PM ET): Rangers vs. Astros or Phillies vs. Padres. Check your local listings or the bottom of this article for additional information.
  • Lone Star Showdown: The two MLB clubs that play in the state of Texas meet under the lights as Jake Burger and the Texas Rangers take on Mauricio Dubón and the Houston Astros on Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 PM ET on Fox.
  • Phillies-Padres: NL Contenders Clash in San Diego: Bryson Stott and the National League East-leading Philadelphia Phillies forge ahead with a week-long West Coast trip against Fernando Tatís Jr. and the San Diego Padres on Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 PM ET on Fox.

We have reached the final week of play before next week's MLB All-Star Game from Atlanta. Fox will televise their final "Baseball Night in America" before the Midsummer Classic this Saturday, July 12, at 7:30 PM ET. Saturday's coverage is pushed back a half-hour due to IndyCar airing on the network beforehand. Two games are set to be regionally televised on Fox. Your game choices are as follows: Wyatt Langford and the Texas Rangers visit Yainer Diaz and the Houston Astros, or a National League matchup from San Diego, as Edmundo Sosa and the Philadelphia Phillies take on Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres. Which game will you be receiving this Saturday and who will be on the call? Read on to find out the answers.

Two American League West rivals hit the field on "Baseball Night in America" as Adolis García and the Texas Rangers battle Christian Walker and the Houston Astros in the "Lone Star Series" on Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 PM ET on Fox. The Rangers & Astros are scheduled to meet 13 teams during the 2025 season, with the teams splitting a four-game set at Globe Life Field in May. Remember, Texas & Houston met in the 2023 ALCS, with the Rangers defeating the Astros in seven games. Obviously, the Astros aren't concerned about anyone else in their division, as they hold a seven-game lead in the division entering play this week. For the Rangers, they are looking to move up the American League standings. Texas finds themselves four games back of the final American League Wild Card spot. Rangers SP Jacob deGrom is healthy again and he is providing the Rangers with a great season on the mound. deGrom ranks third in the AL with a 2.13 ERA. Meanwhile, Astros manager Joe Espada is scheduled to give SP Framber Valdez the starting nod on Friday and SP Hunter Brown the starting nod on Saturday. ðŸŽ¤  TBD.

A couple of National League clubs currently in contention square off as Brandon Marsh and the Philadelphia Phillies clash with Luis Arraez and the San Diego Padres on Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 PM ET on Fox. For the second straight week, Philadelphia & San Diego are facing off against each other in a head-to-head situation. Last week, the two clubs played a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, with Philadelphia grabbing two of the three games. As most of you know, the Phillies & Padres played in the 2022 NLCS, with the Phillies eliminating the Padres in five games (two-time NL MVP Bryce Harper had a little something to do with that 😉). Philadelphia is involved in a tight divisional battle with Brandon Nimmo and the New York Mets over in the NL East, as the Phillies hold a slim game and a half lead as this week starts. As for the Padres, consistency is a key. The Padres have split their previous ten games (5-5), but is fresh off a series victory over the Rangers this past weekend. San Diego is currently tied with the Giants for the final NL Wild Card Spot. Pitching is a strength for the Phillies. Three of their pitchers, Ranger Suárez (1.99), Zack Wheeler (2.17) & Cristopher Sánchez (2.68), have a ERA under three. Padres RF and three-time All-Star Fernando Tatis Jr. leads his squad in home runs (15) and on-base percentage [OBP] (.355). 🎤 TBD.

Sunday, June 29, 2025

This week's "MLB on Fox: On Deck" (Saturday, July 5) highlights include:
  • A Full Day Of Baseball On Fox: Fox is the place to be this Saturday, July 5, as the network presents a RARE "Fox Saturday Baseball" tripleheader on FS1 (4:00 PM ET & 10:00 PM ET) and Fox (7:00 PM ET).
  • Subway Series On FS1: Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees face their New York rival, the New York Mets, led by Francisco Lindor in another installment of the "Subway Series" on Saturday, July 5 at 4:00 PM ET on Fox.
  • Marquee Matchup Made For Hollywood: Cam Smith and the Houston Astros do battle against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers as two first place clubs meet in a high-profile contest on Saturday, July 5 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.
  • ALDS Rematch from Cleveland: The teams that met in this year's American League Division Series clash on "Baseball Night in America" as Parker Meadows and the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers visit Carlos Santana and the Cleveland Guardians in a underappreciated divisional confrontation on Saturday, July 5 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.
  • Seeing Black & Blue In The Emerald City: FS1 is your home for some Saturday late night baseball as Bryan Reynolds and the Pittsburgh Pirates head out West for a matchup against J.P. Crawford and the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, July 5 at 10:00 PM ET on FS1.

Welcome back to "MLB on Fox: On Deck"! This week, we will guide you through a jam-packed lineup of baseball on the FOX Sports family of networks. "Fox Saturday Baseball" is SCORCHING hot with four games on Saturday, July 5, including Yankees vs. Mets (4:00 PM ET on FS1), Astros vs. Dodgers (7:00 PM ET on Fox), Tigers vs. Guardians (7:00 PM ET on Fox) & Pirates vs. Mariners (10:00 PM ET on FS1). There is plenty of material to review before Saturday's games begin, so let us dive right in.

FS1 will bookend Saturday's tripleheader with the game presentation of Yankees vs. Mets at 4:00 PM ET followed by the Pirates vs. Mariners game at 10:00 PM ET (after Fox's "Baseball Night in America" coverage concludes).

Trent Grisham and the AL East-leading New York Yankees compete in the annual "Subway Series" against Juan Soto and the New York Mets on Saturday, July 5 at 4:00 PM ET on FS1. Look, I wish I could say that both teams are entering this "Subway Series" as some of the hottest teams around Major League Baseball. Sadly 😢, I can't do that. The Yankees have dropped 11 of their 17 games, dating back to a series sweep by their arch-rival Red Sox in mid-June. The Mets seem to be in crisis mode right now after an inexcusable 3-13 stretch going back to June 13. In fact, the Mets have been SWEPT in three of their past five series (Tampa Bay, Atlanta & Pittsburgh this past weekend). Long story short, both teams need to figure it out quickly. 🎙 Versatile play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert and analyst Tom Verducci call Yankees vs. Mets live from Citi Field in Flushing, New York.

At 7:00 PM ET, Fox will regionalize two game matchups for broadcast across the country for this week's edition of "Baseball Night in America". The majority of the country will receive the Astros vs. Dodgers game while other viewers will be watching the Tigers vs. Guardians game. Please either check your local listings or the bottom of this article for additional information.

In what could be described as a "must-see summer feature", Isaac Paredes and the Houston Astros confront Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers in a re-match of the 2017 World Series on Saturday, July 5 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. This weekend marks the only time that the Astros & Dodgers will be playing head-to-head during the 2025 regular season. Both clubs possess 50 or more wins heading into this week. The Dodgers have won 12 of their 15 games to open up a seven-game lead in the NL West while the Astros have posted an impressive 14-4 record since June 11. Houston is receiving excellent seasons from CF Jake Meyers and SS Jeremy Peña. Obviously, Los Angeles has lots of depth and manager Dave Roberts can put out a high-quality lineup every night. 🎙 The MLB on Fox lead commentary team of Emmy-Award winning play-by-play commentator Joe Davis, analyst and Hall of Famer John Smoltz, & Emmy-Award winning reporter Ken Rosenthal provide commentary for Astros vs. Dodgers live from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

Javier Báez and the top team in the American League Central, the Detroit Tigers, take their incredible talent to the "Baseball Night in America" stage against José Ramírez and the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday, July 5 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. The Tigers & Guardians are set to play for the second time this year, with Cleveland taking three out of four games vs. Detroit back in late-May over at Comerica Park in Detroit. The Tigers are not complaining about their MASSIVE 11 1/2 game lead in the American League Central entering this week. For the Guardians, their focus is on the American League Wild Card hunt, as they are currently 2.5 games behind Julio Rodríguez's Seattle Mariners for the last American League Wild Card spot. The Tigers are fueled by LF Riley Greene, who leads the club in batter average at .296. Guardians 3B José Ramírez has been a longtime member of the Indians/Guardians franchise, having played there since his Major League Baseball debut back in 2013. Ramírez is a leader and somebody that the Guardians value very highly. 🎙 Jason Benetti (play-by-play) & Adam Wainwright (analyst) - a 2006 World Series champion - will call Tigers vs. Guardians live from Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.

Two clubs that play at opposite ends of the United States get together when Ke'Bryan Hayes and the Pittsburgh Pirates provide the opposition for Randy Arozarena and the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, July 5 at 10:00 PM ET on FS1. The Pirates & Mariners engage in their only series against each other this season from Seattle's T-Mobile Park this weekend. FS1 is televising the middle game of this three-game series. Safe to say, these teams are in two different parts of the standings in their respective leaders. In the American League playoff picture, J.P. Crawford and the Seattle Mariners are in a really good spot, as the franchise currently holds the final Wild Card spot (alongside the Rays & Blue Jays). Flipping things towards the National League playoff picture, Andrew McCutchen's Pittsburgh Pirates are nowhere near a playoff spot, trailing the Cubs by 14 games for the NL Central lead and the Cardinals by 11 games for Wild Card #3. Pittsburgh seriously needs to get on a roll with the All-Star Break approaching to have any chance whatsoever to compete for at least a Wild Card berth. For the Mariners, a series victory here is vital for retaining an American League Wild Card spot. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Connor Onion teams up with analyst and former National League Rookie of the Year winner Eric Karros to broadcast Pirates vs. Mariners remotely.

Sunday, June 22, 2025

This week's "MLB on Fox: On Deck" highlights include (Mariners-Rangers: FS1, 4:00 PM ET | Phillies-Braves or Cubs-Astros: Fox, 7:00 PM ET):
  • Double the Action: With summer officially upon us, Fox's MLB coverage is heating up with another presentation of "Fox Saturday Baseball" on Saturday, June 28 - Mariners vs. Rangers at 4:00 PM ET on FS1 followed by regional coverage of Phillies vs. Braves and Cubs vs. Astros at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.
  • Divisional Faceoff: J.P. Crawford and the Seattle Mariners participate in an American League West showdown vs. Corey Seager and the Texas Rangers on Saturday, June 28, at 4:00 PM ET on FS1.
  • The Battle Within In The NL East: Alec Bohm and the National League East-leading Philadelphia Phillies travel south to tangle with Matt Olson and the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, June 28, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.
  • Pivotal Interleague Clash in HTown: Two first-place clubs enter a critical late-June series when Ian Happ and the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs hit the road against Christian Walker and the American League West-leading Houston Astros on Saturday, June 28, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.

Folks, we are almost midway through the 2025 MLB Season! Time flies by very quickly, huh? "Fox Saturday Baseball" returns this Saturday (June 28) with a doubleheader on FS1 and Fox. Let me set the scene ahead of Saturday's schedule of games.

FS1 gets our Saturday baseball coverage going at 4:00 PM ET with a matchup inside the American League West. Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners continue their road trip against Jonah Heim and the Texas Rangers. This is the third time this season that Seattle & Texas are playing each other. The Mariners swept the Rangers in a three-game series in April and took two of three games in a May series at Globe Life Field. Both teams are staring at the first-place Houston Astros in the American League West. The Mariners are clinging to a Wild Card spot in the American League while the Rangers look to climb the American League Wild Card standings to set up a potential second-half push for a postseason berth. Mariners C Cal Raleigh leads the league with 32 home runs. Rangers SS Josh Smith ranks first on the club with 34 runs scored. 🎙 Kevin Kugler (play-by-play) and Tom Verducci (analyst) announce Saturday's FS1 Mariners-Rangers game remotely.

After the Mariners vs. Rangers game, Fox takes over the airwaves with this week's edition of "Baseball Night in America", beginning at 7:00 PM ET. As previously mentioned, Fox will have regional coverage of two games this Saturday night - Phillies vs. Braves or Cubs vs. Astros (please check your local listings or the bottom of this article for additional information).

A pair of longtime National League East rivals will be featured when Johan Rojas and the Philadelphia Phillies take on Marcell Ozuna and the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, June 28, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. The Phillies and Braves are facing off for the third time this season, with the series currently tied at 3-3. The Braves won a series in April down in Atlanta (2-1), while the Phillies returned the favor with a series victory in late May in South Philadelphia (2-1). At this point, the National League East is a two-team race, as the Phillies and Mets are competing for the division lead, while Atlanta sits in third place. The Phillies feel confident as they begin a week-long road trip through Houston and Atlanta, following a weekend series win over their divisional rival, the Mets. Although Ozzie Albies and the Braves are not where they want to be in the standings, they could impact the top of the NL East with this weekend's series. 🎙 Adam Amin (play-by-play) calls Phillies-Braves alongside Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) and Emmy-Award winning reporter Ken Rosenthal (reporter).

It's shaping up to be a heavyweight fight in Houston as Justin Turner and the Chicago Cubs face off against Jose Altuve and the Houston Astros, two division leaders clashing in an important interleague game, on Saturday, June 28, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. These clubs will take the field together for the first time this year. Last season, the Cubs swept the Astros in a three-game series at Wrigley Field. The Astros are seeking revenge against the Cubs during this upcoming series. As they enter this week, both teams are at the top of their respective divisions, making this series critically important as they aim to maintain their first-place standings with the All-Star Break approaching. Following an 18-9 record in May, Craig Counsell and the Cubs have experienced some regression, going 10-9 in June. Jeremy Peña and the Astros have spent 23 days leading the American League West this year. This weekend, Houston strives to increase that total. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Kenny Albert (play-by-play) and 2005 World Series champion AJ Pierzynski (analyst) will team up for Fox's Cubs-Astros broadcast on Saturday.

Hi, everyone! Welcome to this week's MLB on Fox: On Deck article. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post! This week, we will discuss the "Fox Saturday Baseball" doubleheader on Saturday, June 21 (the first Saturday of summer). MLB action will be seen on FS1 and Fox, as per usual, this Saturday. 

To start, FS1 will air the Rangers vs. Pirates game at 4:00 PM ET. That will be followed by "Baseball Night in America" (Mets vs. Phillies & Royals vs. Padres) at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. With that in mind, let's explore each matchup on the Fox Saturday slate.

Starting off the "Fox Saturday Baseball" slate this week, FS1 takes viewers to PNC Park in Pittsburgh for an interleague battle as Marcus Semien and the Texas Rangers take on Adam Frazier and the Pittsburgh Pirates at 4:00 PM ET. This is the first time these teams have played against each other this season. Last year, the Rangers won two out of three games vs. the Pirates during a three-game series at Globe Life Field in August (August 19-21). Entering play this week, the Rangers are 36-36, which is good enough for third place in the American League West. However, Texas is starting to find its groove, as the club has won four straight ballgames (including a weekend series sweep over the Chicago White Sox). As for the Pirates, they are having another dismal season with a poor 29-44 record coming into this week, checking in dead last in the National League Central. Pittsburgh dropped two of three vs. the Cubs at historic Wrigley Field over the weekend. 🎙 Connor Onion (play-by-play) provides commentary for Rangers-Pirates alongside Tom Verducci (analyst).

Once the Rangers-Pirates game is completed, turn to Fox for "Baseball Night in America" at 7:00 PM ET. Fox will showcase regional coverage of the Mets vs. the Phillies and the Royals vs. the Padres on Saturday night (check your local listings or the bottom of this article for the specific game in your area).

Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia hosts an important early summer National League East confrontation as Francisco Lindor and the New York Mets clash with Max Kepler and the Philadelphia Phillies at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. This "Baseball Night in America" game will serve as Fox's primary game this week, airing in most of the country. Of course, this is a rematch of last year's National League Division Series, a series in which the Mets defeated the Phillies in four games. The two teams previously played a series at Citi Field in late April, with the Mets sweeping the Phillies in a three-game series. The Mets begin the week at 45-27, leading the National League East by two games. Despite their first-place standing in the division, the Mets are coming off a surprising sweep against the Rays this past weekend. Meanwhile, following a mini-slump, the Phillies are sizzling hot with the change in season. Philadelphia has won five consecutive games, closing the gap to two games behind the first-place Mets with a 43-29 record. 🎙 Adam Amin calls play-by-play for Mets-Phillies alongside Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) and Emmy Award winner Ken Rosenthal (reporter).

Fernando Tatís Jr. and the San Diego Padres host Bobby Witt Jr. and the Kansas City Royals for an interleague baseball matchup at Petco Park in San Diego at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. If you're not watching the Mets vs. Phillies game, you'll be tuning into this matchup instead. Last year, San Diego managed to win a series against the Royals, taking two of the three games played at Kauffman Stadium. Now, San Diego takes on the hosting role. Both teams are competing in their respective leagues. With a record of 34-38, the Royals enter this week three games behind the Red Sox for the final AL Wild Card spot. Meanwhile, San Diego holds one of three NL Wild Card spots with a record of 39-32 as the week begins. 🎙 Don Orsillo (play-by-play) and 2005 World Series champion AJ Pierzynski (analyst) are set for Fox's Royals-Padres primetime presentation.

A new week has begun! And Fox Sports will keep baseball ⚾ fans engaged with an exciting "Fox Saturday Baseball" doubleheader on Saturday, June 14. FS1 leads off the day's coverage at 4:00 PM (ET) as the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Milwaukee Brewers from American Family Field in Milwaukee. Then, at 7:00 PM (ET), Fox's "Baseball Night in America" hits the air with regional coverage of Yankees vs. Red Sox and Padres vs. Diamondbacks. With that in mind, let's dive into this week's slate of matchups.

As I mentioned earlier, FS1 is your home for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader. At 4:00 PM (ET), FS1 has a terrific game from the National League Central when Willson Contreras and the St. Louis Cardinals face off against their NL Central rival, Jackson Chourio and the Milwaukee Brewers. St. Louis & Milwaukee are set to get after it for the second time this year, with the Cardinals capturing an earlier series between the two clubs in late April at Busch Stadium (2-1). Both teams are in play for postseason baseball at this phase of the season. Both teams, however, are looking up at the division leader, the  Chicago Cubs (40-25 record). Cardinals 1B Willson Contreras leads the club with 38 RBI's. Brewers CF Jackson Chourio is hitting the ball well, leading his team with 71 hits this season. 🎙 Connor Onion (play-by-play) and Mark Sweeney (analyst) will provide remote commentary for Cardinals-Brewers, starting at 4:00 PM (ET) on FS1.

Fox will have live coverage of a Yankees-Red Sox matchup for the second consecutive Saturday. Yeah, Fox loves their Red Sox-Yankees games! This time, Trent Grisham and the AL East-leading New York Yankees will be in Boston to play Jarren Duran and the Boston Red Sox from Fenway Park at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. The Red Sox & Yankees are meeting for the second time this year, following their three-game series this past weekend at Yankee Stadium (Boston took two of three from New York). Right now, the Yankees lead the AL East with a 39-25 record while the Red Sox sit in a distant fourth place with a record of 32-35. Yankees 3B Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been very productive following a stint on the injured list - batting .381 with two home runs and seven RBI's in six games since his return to the Yankees' lineup. 🎙 Fox's lead commentary team of Joe Davis (play-by-play), Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) & Ken Rosenthal (reporter) has the Yankees-Red Sox call, starting at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.

A pair of National League West clubs will share the field on Fox's "Baseball Night in America" package this week as Fernando Tatis Jr. leads the San Diego Padres in a divisional game against 2023 National League Rookie of the Year Corbin Carroll and the Arizona Diamondbacks at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. This marks the first time the Padres and Diamondbacks will play each other this season. Last year, the Padres won the season series against the Diamondbacks, 7-6. Among the four NL West teams currently in contention for the playoffs (excluding the Rockies), two will collide head-to-head in a series determining where these clubs are heading as summer approaches. Padres RF Fernando Tatis Jr. leads the team in home runs with 13. Diamondbacks 1B Josh Naylor currently has the best batting average on the team at .283. 🎙 Play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti and 2006 World Series champion Adam Wainwright (analyst) call Padres-Diamondbacks from Phoenix, starting at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.
