MLB Power Rankings: Dodgers Unseated, Yankees Dangerous in Top 5

Sports Illustrated's MLB Power Rankings for the 2026 season have the Los Angeles Dodgers knocked off the top spot, with the New York Yankees moving into dangerous territory within the top five. The rankings come as the 2026 regular season winds down, with playoff races heating up in both the American League and National League. A key storyline for the Yankees is the imminent return of right fielder Aaron Judge (No. 99), who has been sidelined with an injury.
