Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed reliever Kendall Graveman (back) is undergoing imaging after complaining of tightness in his back while throwing a bullpen session over the weekend.

After a substandard season in 2024, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso worked hard in the offseason to figure out why his swing got "out of control" in the regular season, per The Athletic's Will Sammon.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (illness) was scratched from Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to a stomach bug that continues to make its way through the team this spring.

The New York Jets are releasing wide receiver Davante Adams on Tuesday, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The New York Jets have given permission to veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard to seek a trade, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (oblique) was scratched from Tuesday's Cactus League game after complaining of a left-oblique issue, and he will head for an MRI exam.

Richard Fitts, Quinn Priester Could Be Battling For Fifth Rotation Spot

If Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello (shoulder) starts the year on the injured list, right-handers Richard Fitts or Quinn Priester are real possibilities to open the 2025 regular season in the No. 5 starting rotation spot for Boston, according to MLB.com's Ian Browne.
