Braxton Garrett Optioned To Triple-A

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Braxton Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher John Gant got the start in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Washington Nationals.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro made his Marlins spring debut on Monday in a Grapefruit League game against the Houston Astros.

Richard Bleier Strikes Out Two On Monday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Richard Bleier got in 1 1/3 innings of work in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Houston Astros. He struck out two and allowed just one hit.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill continued his hot spring in Sunday's game, going 3-for-3 with a double and two runs scored. He raised his batting average to .476 and his OPS to 1.357.

He threw 22 pitches, 18 for strikes, while averaging over 100 mph on his fastball. Despite all of that? He faced just one batter, issuing a 22-pitch walk to Luis Guillorme. […]

Jesus Aguilar Gets Two Hits On Friday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar had a solid game on Friday in Grapefruit League action against the Mets. Aguilar went 2-for-3 with an RBI while batting third and playing as the DH.

Miles Mikolas Shut Down From Throwing

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (shoulder) has been shut down from throwing for at least seven days after continued discomfort in his throwing shoulder. He'll also undergo more testing so the team can determine what is causing the issue. Mikolas is also dealing with an elbow injury, but it seems secondary to the […]

John Gant Lined Up As The Fifth Starter

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher John Gant is currently lined up to be the team's fifth starter once the regular season begins.

Anthony Bass Adds Another Scoreless Inning On Thursday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bass tossed another scoreless inning in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Washington Nationals.
