No official MLB announcement has confirmed the feature, its full behavior, or when it might roll out. What the app's existing infrastructure makes clear is that such a widget would serve most fans well, and create a specific problem for one group that MLB has already gone out of its way to protect. That group is streaming fans who rely on the app's optional 30-second notification delay. A Home Screen widget updating without an equivalent delay option would put score changes in front of them before the pitch that caused them appears on screen. Understanding why that risk is real requires looking at what MLB has already built, and what a widget would change structurally. What MLB has already built on iPhone and iPad Live Activities
