New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson said he wants to be the team's featured back in 2024 as he gets set to enter the final year of his rookie deal.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Gregory Santos (lat) is a little bit behind the other pitchers in spring training due to a right-lat that has recently surfaced.

St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Steven Matz (lat) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday on the first day that pitchers and catchers reported to spring training.

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (elbow) has already started throwing, and manager Aaron Boone said he'll start hitting a week from Monday.

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil (elbow) is now fully recovered from Tommy John surgery and is an intriguing arm for the team in 2024. Word at camp is that the plan for Gil is to keep him stretched out as a starter while remaining open to trying him in the bullpen. He featured a […]

Reynaldo Lopez Being Stretched Out To Start

Atlanta Braves right-hander Reynaldo Lopez is being stretched out to start this spring but could end up back in the bullpen, where he's been more successful and where he blew the doors off some notable Braves hitters with his 100 mph fastball last year when he was with the Chicago White Sox. It would be […]

Braves Leaning Toward Playing Jarred Kelenic Every Day

Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said the team is leaning toward playing outfielder Jarred Kelenic every day rather than having him start in a platoon in 2024 in his first year with the club.

Mitch White Could Break Camp With Blue Jays

The Toronto Star's Gregor Chisholm projects that right-hander Mitch White will break camp with the last spot in the bullpen to start the 2024 regular season. White is out of minor-league options and can't be sent down without having to clear waivers. Right-hander Jordan Romano is the clear closing option, while Chad Green, Tim Mayza, […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa The Favorite For Third Base?

The Toronto Star's Gregor Chisholm writes that Toronto Blue Jays infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa appears to be the favorite to get the bulk of the reps at third base after the team signed him to a two-year, $15 million this offseason.

Cavan Biggio Dealing With Left-Shoulder Tendinitis

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Cavan Biggio (shoulder) is dealing with left-shoulder tendinitis in spring training, according to manager John Schneider.

It was reported earlier on Thursday that Biggio, Santiago Espinal […]

Yariel Rodriguez Comes To Camp As Starter

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed that Cuban right-hander Yariel Roriguez comes to camp as a starting pitcher, but the club will be cautious with his workload in spring training because of his long layoff.

Kliff Kingsbury To Have Full Control Of Offense

Although Brian Johnson has the assistant head coach tag with the Washington Commanders for the 2024 season, offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury will still retain full control of the offense.

Joe Flacco Not Expected To Return To Browns

Cleveland Browns impending free-agent quarterback Joe Flacco made an improbable run late in the season to earn the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award while taking the team to the postseason, but he's almost definitely moving on this offseason, according to The Athletic's Zac Jackson.
