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.

Monday, June 9, 2025

This week's MLB on Fox: On Deck highlights include:

• Fox Sports carries on with their 2025 MLB regular season coverage with a doubleheader on Saturday, June 14 on Fox and FS1: Cardinals vs. Brewers - 4:00 PM ET, FS1 | Yankees vs. Red Sox or Padres vs. Diamondbacks - 7:00 PM ET, Fox.

• A divisional feel this week with ALL of Fox's matchups being divisional rivalries - Cardinals at Brewers (NL Central), Yankees at Red Sox (AL East), & Padres at Diamondbacks (NL West).

• Division Foes Clash in Milwaukee: A crucial NL Central matchup is the top storyline for FS1's Saturday matchup as Christian Yelich and the Milwaukee Brewers host Brendan Donovan and the St. Louis Cardinals at 4:00 PM (ET) on FS1.

• Yankees vs. Red Sox on "Baseball Night in America", Part 2 ✌: For the second consecutive week, "Baseball Night in America" features one of baseball's most iconic rivalries - Jazz Chisholm Jr. and the New York Yankees vs. Rafael Devers and the Boston Red Sox - at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.

• A Padres-Diamondbacks Confrontation From Phoenix: An important National League West matchup in primetime as Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres visit Ketel Marte and the Arizona Diamondbacks at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.

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.

Monday, June 2, 2025

This week's "MLB on Fox: On Deck" highlights include:

• Saturday Primetime Baseball on Fox: "Baseball Night in America" continues on Fox (Saturday, June 7) with two matchups in primetime - Red Sox vs. Yankees or Padres vs. Brewers (check your local listings or the bottom of this article).

• Red Sox-Yankees Rivalry Renewed: Jarren Duran and the Boston Red Sox face Aaron Judge and their arch rival, the New York Yankees, on Saturday, June 7 at 7:30 PM (ET) on Fox.

• Padres vs. Brewers: A Matchup of Two NL Contenders: In a matchup of two early season playoff contenders from the National League, Fernando Tatis Jr. and the San Diego Padres travel to Milwaukee to face off against the young electrifying star Jackson Chourio and the Milwaukee Brewers, on Saturday, June 7 at 7:30 PM (ET) on Fox.

FOX Sports continues its live coverage of the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) regular season with another edition of "Baseball Night in America" on Saturday, June 7, starting at 7:30 PM (ET) on Fox. Fox will regionalize two games to various stations nationally (check your local listings or the bottom of this article for more information). Fox's MLB coverage will follow the Belmont Stakes coverage (hence the later start time for Fox's broadcast). 

This week, the game options are Red Sox vs. Yankees or Padres vs. Brewers. More information about these games will be available shortly.

Rafael Devers and the Boston Red Sox visit Aaron Judge and the AL East-leading New York Yankees in another edition of this longstanding American League rivalry on Saturday, June 7, at 7:30 PM (ET) on Fox. Most of the nation will be receiving this game, and it is not too hard to see why. Over the previous five years, the Red Sox & Yankees have alternated winning the regular season series between the clubs each year. Last year, the Yankees claimed victory in seven of the 13 regular-season games vs. the Red Sox. Despite dropping two out of three vs. the defending World Series champion Dodgers over the weekend, the Yankees have a 5 1/2 game lead in the American League East entering the week. The Red Sox, however, are struggling to gain traction on their season. Entering this week, Boston holds a dismal fourth-place standing in the American League East (behind the Yankees, Blue Jays & the Rays). MLB on Fox's lead commentary team of Joe Davis (play-by-play), Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) & Ken Rosenthal (reporter) provide commentary for Red Sox-Yankees from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York. 

Fernando Tatis Jr. and the San Diego Padres travel to American Family Field in Milwaukee for a National League cross-divisional matchup against Brice Turang and the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, June 7 at 7:30 PM (ET) on Fox. Viewers who do not get the Red Sox-Yankees game will be sent to Milwaukee for this matchup. In 2024, San Diego took five of the seven games from the Brewers during regular-season play. If the season were to end today (June 2), San Diego would be in the playoffs as a wild-card team. Flipping over to the Milwaukee side now, being a National League contender isn't anything new for these guys. In fact, the Brewers have played playoff baseball almost every year since 2018 (except 2022). The Brewers are on the outside looking in currently for a playoff berth, trailing San Francisco and St. Louis for the final NL Wild Card spot (1 1/2 GB) as we start the new week here. 🎙 Jeff Levering (play-by-play) and 2005 World Series champion AJ Pierzynski (analyst) will call Padres-Brewers from American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Hello once again, baseball ⚾ fans! I hope that this week is off to a wonderful start! Welcome to another edition of "MLB on Fox: On Deck", where we preview the upcoming games that Fox will be televising during the week. This week (Saturday, May 31), "Fox Saturday Baseball" is locked and loaded with games from late afternoon (4:00 PM) through the late-night timeslot (10:00 PM). With that in mind, let us dive right in.

Leading off Saturday's MLB game coverage, FS1 will present a National League matchup to a national audience at 4:00 PM (ET). In this game, we will see Rhys Hoskins and the Milwaukee Brewers take on Bryson Stott and the Philadelphia Phillies from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Milwaukee and Philadelphia are getting together for the first time this season. Last year, the Phillies took four of six games from the Brewers, including a series sweep at Citizens Bank Park in early June. Currently, the Phillies lead the NL East with a 34-19 record. Milwaukee, at 27-28, looks to climb up the National League Wild Card & Central standings. 🎙 Kevin Kugler (play-by-play) & Tom Verducci (analyst) are set for the late afternoon FS1 presentation.

Immediately following Brewers-Phillies game coverage on FS1, Fox takes over the broadcasting duties for "Baseball Night in America", beginning at 7:00 PM (ET). This week, Fox will regionalize a pair of tremendous game matchups across the country, including Yankees at Dodgers or Twins at Mariners (check your local listings or the bottom of this article to determine which game your local FOX station will be showing come Saturday evening).

A re-match of the 2024 World Series is going down at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles as Cody Bellinger and the New York Yankees resume their West Coast road trip against Teoscar Hernández and the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. This game will be seen in most of the country (for obvious reasons). Right now, New York is in the midst of a three-city, nine-game West Coast trip (Denver, Anaheim & Los Angeles). Yankees RF Aaron Judge leads the team in home runs at 18. The Dodgers have a two game lead over San Diego & San Francisco for the NL West lead beginning play this week. 🎙 Joe Davis (play-by-play) and Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) have the call from the booth, with Ken Rosenthal (reporter) reporting from the field.

Select Fox stations across the country will be watching another great matchup come Saturday, as Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins tussle with Julio Rodríguez in an American League showdown at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. Despite Minnesota's recent 13-game winning streak, they find themselves in third place in the American League Central (trailing the Tigers & Guardians). Twins 1B Ty France has had a productive season for Minnesota, collecting 47 hits in 51 games. Seattle is still chasing their first-ever World Series appearance (they are the only current MLB team to never reach the World Series). 🎙 Jason Benetti (play-by-play) provides commentary alongside 2006 World Series champion Adam Wainwright (analyst).

Once "Baseball Night in America" on Fox wraps up, FS1 returns for their second MLB telecast of the day. At 10:00 PM (ET), James Wood and the Washington Nationals continue their week long sojourn to the West Coast with a matchup against Geraldo Perdomo and the Arizona Diamondbacks from Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. Washington is striving to return to postseason play for the first time since their World Series winning season in 2019. Plus, Washington has been a basic doormat in the NL East, as they have finished last or second to last each year since 2020. The Diamondbacks bring a 27-27 record into this week's slate of games. Arizona is desperately searching for some good vibes as the month of June slowly approaches. 🎙 Connor Onion handles the play-by-play alongside game analyst Eric Karros.
