Titans Release Harold Landry III

The Tennessee Titans released pass-rusher Harold Landry III on Friday, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Titans signed Landry to a five-year, $87 million contract in 2022 but will release the outside linebacker this offseason to save $10.9 million against the 2025 salary cap. That figure will increase to $17.5 million if the team […]

Giancarlo Stanton Unlikely To Play In Spring Games

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) is back in camp with the team, but manager Aaron Boone said it's doubtful that he will play in any Grapefruit League games.

Ezequiel Tovar Back In Friday's Spring Lineup

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (triceps) is back in the Cactus League lineup on Friday to face the Texas Rangers and right-hander Jacob deGrom. Tovar is starting at shortstop and batting second in the lineup after he was removed early on Wednesday as a precaution after being hit by a pitch on his left triceps. […]

No Front-Runner For Cardinals Center-Field Job

The Athletic's Katie Woo writes that there currently is no front-runner for the starting role in center field for the St. Louis Cardinals. Michael Siani saw most of his playing time in center in 2024 and proved to be a standout defender. However, Victor Scott II has gone 7-for-12 with a double, triple and a […]

Cardinals More Likely To Use Matthew Liberatore In Relief Role

The Athletic's Katie Woo writes that all inclinations are that the St. Louis Cardinals are leaning towards using left-hander Matthew Liberatore as a multi-inning reliever (a role he excelled in last year) instead as starting-pitching depth. Liberatore has been dominant in spring games so far, retiring 21 of the 22 batters he's faced without allowing […]

Steven Matz Likely To Start The Year In Rotation

The Athletic's Katie Woo writes that the St. Louis Cardinals seem inclined to use left-handed veteran Steven Matz in the starting rotation to start the season. However, it's not a guarantee, especially is young pitchers Andre Pallante and Michael McGreevy continue their strong springs. The main thing is that Matz has been healthy in camp, […]

No Strain For Christian Walker

Houston Astros first baseman Christian Walker's (oblique) MRI exam didn't show a "strain or anything that we are concerned about," manager Joe Espada said.

Seattle Mariners right-hander George Kirby (shoulder) has been dealing with right-shoulder inflammation and underwent an MRI exam that showed no structural damage, according to The Seattle Times' Ryan Divish.

Prelander Berroa Needs Tommy John Surgery

Chicago White Sox right-handers Prelander Berroa (elbow) and Juan Carela (elbow) both will need Tommy John surgery, according to the team.

Shawn Dubin To Play Catch On Saturday

Houston Astros right-hander Shawn Dubin (shoulder) will resume playing catch in camp on Saturday after battling right-shoulder inflammation. Additionally, right-hander Kaleb Ort (oblique) is progressing nicely and has been throwing off flat ground. Because Dubin hasn't pitched at all in spring training yet, he will not be ready for Opening Day in late March. However, […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Throws Successful Live Batting Practice

Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) threw around 23 or 24 pitches in his second live batting practice session of camp on Friday and said it went well.

Clayton Beeter Won't Be Ready For Opening Day

New York Yankees right-hander Clayton Beeter (shoulder) will not be ready for Opening Day, according to The Athletic's Chris Kirschner.

Yankees Unlikely To Sign J.D. Martinez

The New York Yankees have reached out to veteran free-agent designated hitter J.D. Martinez, but the sides don't seem close on a deal and they are unlikely to reach an agreement, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman. The Yankees are looking for a veteran bat with outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbow) set to […]

Wilyer Abreu May Not Be Ready For Opening Day

The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey writes that it's looking more and more likely that outfielder Wilyer Abreu (illness) won't be ready for Opening Day at the end of March. Manager Alex Cora noted that Abreu is pretty behind in spring training and is still only tracking pitches and not swinging yet off a machine. The 25-year-old […]

Red Sox Targeting Tuesday Or Wednesday For Rafael Devers' Spring Debut

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulders) has yet to get into a Grapefruit League game. However, manager Alex Cora said the team is targeting a debut for either next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Shaq Mason Being Released

The Houston Texans have informed starting offensive guard Shaq Mason that he is being released, a source tells FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Despite the fact that Mason started 32 games for the Texans over the last two seasons, they have decided to move on heading into the 2025 campaign. The 32-year-old veteran offensive lineman was […]

Seahawks Could Entertain Re-Signing Tyler Lockett

The Seattle Seahawks aren't closing the door on a potential reunion with veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who they released for salary cap saving purposes this week. "Go out and see what's shaking (on the market), and we'll stay in touch," general manager John Schneider said he told Lockett. However, Schneider expects Lockett to draw […]

Colts Release Raekwon Davis

The Indianapolis Colts released defensive lineman Raekwon Davis on Friday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The move saves the Colts $6.49 million on the 2025 salary cap.

The Houston Texans did a simple restructure on linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair's three-year, $34 million contract to clear $6.26 million on this year's salary cap, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Commanders Inform Jonathan Allen Of His Release

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Washington Commanders informed two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen on Friday that he is being released, according to sources. Allen will hit the free-agent market a bit early and will immediately become one of the top interior defensive linemen available. This move doesn't come as much of a […]

Bengals Re-Sign Tanner Hudson To One-Year Deal

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed tight end Tanner Hudson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. In his second year with the Bengals in 2024, Hudson regressed and had only 19 receptions on 23 targets for 154 yards and one touchdown in 11 games while Mike Gesicki was the […]

Alexis Diaz Throws Live Batting Practice

Cincinnati Reds closer Alexis Diaz (hamstring) had a solid live batting practice session at camp on Wednesday and has been cleared to pitch again in Cactus League action in the coming days.

Aaron Ashby To Be Shut Down For About Two Weeks

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby (oblique) said the second opinion of his right-oblique strain was better than the first.

Ashby still expects to be built up as a starter, but he obviously won't be ready for the start of the 2025 regular […]

Brandon Woodruff To Appear In Minor-League Game Next Week

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is tentatively scheduled to pitch in a minor-league game next Tuesday. Woodruff is currently on a schedule of every six days as he recovers from right-shoulder surgery that kept him sidelined for the entire 2024 season. There isn't a clear timetable for when the 32-year-old veteran will be able […]

Hunter Greene Named Opening Day Starter

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene has been named the team's Opening Day starter on March 27 against the San Francisco Giants, as expected. It comes as no surprise after Greene made his first All-Star team last year in his third year in the league by going 9-5 with a career-best 2.75 ERA (3.47 FIP), 1.02 […]

Brad Keller Likely To Be Added To The Roster

The Athletic's Patrick Mooney writes that Chicago Cubs right-hander Brad Keller will likely be added to the big-league roster at some point because he has an opt-out clause in his contract, and the Cubs wouldn't want to see him get taken by another team at the end of spring training. Keller has shown a velocity […]

Ben Brown Still Being Stretched Out As A Starter

Chicago Cubs right-hander Ben Brown will continue to be stretched out as a starter in camp because the team knows he could be a big X-factor for their starting rotation, The Athletic's Patrick Mooney writes. It makes more sense for Brown to increase his workload in spring training and be available at the start of […]

Matt Shaw Not Guaranteed To Be Ready For Tokyo Series

The Athletic's Patrick Mooney writes that Chicago Cubs third base prospect Matt Shaw (oblique) isn't guaranteed to be ready for the season-opening two-game series in Tokyo, Japan, on March 18 and 19 versus the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to team officials.
