The 2023 World Baseball Classic is onto the knockout stage, with Team USA and Puerto Rico joining the quarterfinal field. The United States took down Colombia to punch its quarterfinal ticket, while Puerto Rico ousted the favored Dominican Republic (but lost closer Edwin Díaz in the process to a knee injury during the post-game celebration). The United States will play Venezuela on Saturday and Mexico faces Puerto Rico on Friday in Miami.
The tournament is now a single-elimination bracket culminating with the final on Tuesday, March 21. Japan and Cuba are already into the semifinals after wins over Italy and Australia, respectively, in Tokyo.
This version of the WBC was originally supposed to be played in 2021 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Action got started on Wednesday, March 8 (technically first pitch of the 2023 WBC opener in Taiwan took place at 11 p.m. ET on March 7), and there will be a total of 47 games.
