The 2026 Major League Baseball regular season continues Monday with a six-game schedule across both leagues. Several organizations are navigating early-season injury reports as they begin three-game series and look to establish divisional standing.
ON THE SLATE
The Los Angeles Angels open a series against the Cleveland Guardians at 22:10 UTC at Progressive Field, with the contest scheduled for broadcast on ESPN Unlmtd. In the American League East, the New York Yankees visit the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards for a 22:35 UTC start, while the Tampa Bay Rays travel to face the Toronto Blue Jays at 23:07 UTC. Late-night action shifts to the American League West as the Arizona Diamondbacks play the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field at 00:05 UTC.

The day’s schedule concludes at Dodger Stadium, where the San Francisco Giants visit the Los Angeles Dodgers at 02:10 UTC. Most matchups are available through the MLB.TV streaming service for out-of-market viewers.
LOOKING AHEAD
The schedule expands on Tuesday with a full fifteen-game slate, including the continuation of series in Cleveland, Baltimore, and Toronto. Marquee matchups include the Philadelphia Phillies visiting the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park at 22:45 UTC and the Chicago Cubs facing the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park at 23:15 UTC. These games represent critical tests for clubs looking to maintain momentum in the National League as the second month of the season begins. Other Tuesday contests include the Detroit Tigers visiting the New York Mets at Citi Field and the Washington Nationals traveling to face the Cincinnati Reds. Colorado and Pittsburgh will also meet at PNC Park as both teams look to stabilize their starting rotations.
FROM THE WIRE
Recent reports from the wire highlight a string of competitive games and mounting health concerns for several organizations. The Atlanta Braves secured a 7-2 road victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, but the team is now managing injuries to catcher Sean Murphy and outfielder Eli White. In Baltimore, the Orioles earned a 2-1 win over the Athletics as both clubs grapple with new roster disruptions. The Arizona Diamondbacks improved their record to 5-1 following a steady 5-1 performance against the New York Mets, who continue to struggle with long-term injuries to their pitching staff. Elsewhere, the Detroit Tigers relied on a balanced offensive effort to defeat the Kansas City Royals 6-3, while the San Francisco Giants held off the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 7-6 decision.
Teams will reconvene Tuesday for a full schedule of regular season play.
