Boston Red Sox left-handed pitching prospect Payton Tolle tossed two innings of one-run ball in his spring training debut on Saturday afternoon. The southpaw was given the starting nod.

Jacob Melton Showcasing Power in Spring Training

Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Jacob Melton went 1-for-3 with a home run during their loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon. Melton would launch a solo shot (his first of spring training) in the sixth frame. The team's No. 4-ranked prospect on MLB.com is in competition for one of the final spots on […]


Justin Crawford Knocks Two Hits in Spring Debut

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Justin Crawford went 2-for-3 with a strikeout in his spring training debut on Saturday afternoon. Crawford served as the leadoff hitter and knocked a double to center field to open the contest. Later in the game, Crawford would hit a single on a line drive. The team's top outfield prospect is […]


Moises Ballesteros Officially Reports to Camp

Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros officially reported to camp on Sunday. The young backstop had his start to the 2026 campaign delayed by visa issues, but was finally able to join the Cubs. The 22-year-old is expected to immediately begin the season in a lead role on the offense, likely serving as the primary […]


Parker Messick Enters Spring Training in Competition for Rotation Spot

According to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com, Cleveland Guardians left-handed pitching prospect Parker Messick is one of the names in the running for one of the final spots in the starting rotation. Messick made his spring training debut on Sunday afternoon and tossed two innings of work with no runs, no hits, and a 1:3 K:BB. […]


Robby Snelling Begins Spring Training with Perfect Inning

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling tossed a perfect inning in his spring debut on Saturday afternoon. Facing the top of the New York lineup, Snelling would generate three straight outs against Marcus Semien, Juan Soto, and Bo Bichette. While he was unable to tally any strikeouts, he made quick work of them, throwing […]


Cowboys Sign Javonte Williams to Three-Year, $24 Million Extension

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Dallas Cowboys are signing running back Javonte Williams to a three-year, $24 million extension.

Jordan Lawlar Looking Comfortable in Move to Center Field

According to Nick Piecoro of AZCentral.com, Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jordan Lawlar has looked quite comfortable in his move to center field. Peicoro noted that the early impressions are quite positive and that the former top prospect is getting "quick jumps" and is "showcasing his strong arm" in his position. With the Diamondbacks having a crowded […]


Ryan McMahon Working on New Batting Stance in 2026

New York Yankees third baseman Ryan McMahon tweaked his batting stance in the offseason to "unlock" more power. McMahon had one of the widest batting stances last season compared to other major league hitters, which likely played a role in his disappointing season. After posting a .722 OPS with a .242 AVG back in 2024, […]


Yordan Alvarez to See Time in Left Field?

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez could see time in left field, given Houston's current outfield situation. Chandler Rome of The Athletic reported that manager Joe Espada has noted that Alvarez will see time in left field this season, but it is still unclear how often. Alvarez has only eclipsed the 50-game mark in the […]


T.J. Rumfield Competing for "Wide-Open" First Base Job

Colorado Rockies first base prospect T.J. Rumfield is in competition for the team's starting first base role, according to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. The Rockies enter spring training without a clear answer at first base and expect to have several players competing for the role. Rumfield was shipped to the Rockies earlier this […]


Jonathan Cannon in Competition for Starting Role

Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Jonathan Cannon is in contention for one of the final roles in the starting rotation. Cannon made his MLB debut back in 2024 for the White Sox and logged 124 1/3 innings to the tune of a 4.49 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP. During this stint, Cannon showed minimal strikeout […]


Gerrit Cole to Face Live Hitters on Friday

According to Gary Phillips of The New York Daily News, Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) is set to face live hitters on Friday. Cole has been throwing bullpen sessions during the early stages of camp and is now set to take the next step in his recovery. The Yankee ace has been on the […]


Elmer Rodriguez to Start Spring Training Opener

According to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, New York Yankees right-handed pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez is set to start their spring training opener against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday afternoon. Rodriguez has had an impressive start to camp and could be making a strong case to begin the season in the major leagues, with Gerrit […]


Hunter Barco on the Outside of Projected Starting Rotation?

Pittsburgh Pirates left-handed pitching prospect Hunter Barco appears to be on the outside of the team's initial five-man starting rotation. The southpaw is expected to be in the mix for the final rotation spot but appears to be trending toward opening the season as a reliever or back at Triple-A. With Paul Skenes, Bubba Chandler, […]


Jarlin Susana a Name to Watch in Nationals Camp

Washington Nationals right-handed pitching prospect Jarlin Susana is a name to watch during spring training. Susana is currently viewed as the team's No. 4 prospect and the overall No. 87 prospect on MLB.com. Susana spent most of his 2025 season with Double-A before being shut down with a lat injury. He began the campaign with […]


Arjun Nimmala Adds Weight Ahead of Spring Training

Toronto Blue Jays infield prospect Arjun Nimmala added 15 pounds ahead of the start of camp, according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. The young infielder reportedly lost significant weight over the 2025 MiLB season, which contributed to his power slump in the second half. Last summer, Nimmala held a promising .840 OPS in the […]


Jacob Reimer Focusing on Defense at Third Base

New York Mets infield prospect Jacob Reimer focused on his defensive skills at third base during the offseason, according to Tim Britton of The Athletic. Reimer has spent time at several positions in the infield throughout his minor league career, but emphasized the hot corner heading into 2026 spring training. Reimer joined the Mets in […]


Ryan Clifford Making Strides as a Defender

New York Mets first base/outfield prospect Ryan Clifford has continued to improve as a defender in the outfield. Clifford has spent most of his time in the minor leagues as a first baseman but has been shifted to the outfield to provide more versatility ahead of his eventual MLB debut. Last summer, Clifford spent most […]

The #1 Overall Tight End for 2026 Fantasy Football - Six Candidates for TE1

The tight end position is often the most divisive among the fantasy football community. Some believe in the "early-round tight end" and have selected Travis Kelce near the 1-2 turn for the better part of the past half-decade. Others wait until the double-digit rounds and hope to strike gold with a high-floor veteran, or to […]


Jett Williams Facing Uphill Battle to Earn Starting Job?

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jett Williams is trending towards beginning the 2026 season at Triple-A. While Williams appeared in a good position to crack the Opening Day roster following the trade that sent Caleb Durbin to Boston, the Brewers quickly signed veteran infielder Luis Rengifo, who is now penciled in to be their primary third […]


Robby Snelling Not a Lock to Make Opening Day Rotation?

Miami Marlins left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling may not be a lock to make the Opening Day rotation. Earlier in camp, the Marlins announced that veteran Chris Paddack would be joining the rotation, which gives Snelling one fewer starting position. Additionally, Max Meyer and Braxton Garrett are both fully healthy in the early stages of […]


Andrew Painter in Strong Contention for Rotation Spot

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter is in serious consideration for one of the final spots in the Phillies starting rotation. With Zack Wheeler (elbow) on the shelf to open the season, the team's top pitching prospect appears to be in serious consideration for one of the final spots. However, given his struggles last […]


Walker Jenkins a Name to Closely Watch in Spring Training

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Walker Jenkins is a name to closely monitor in spring training as he could compete for an early MLB debut. The 20-year-old is currently viewed as MLB.com's No. 10-ranked prospect and Minnesota's No. 1 prospect. Last summer, Jenkins began the campaign with Double-A but was able to reach Triple-A, where he […]


Jhostynxon Garcia Flashing Upside With Glove

Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia has looked impressive on the defensive side of the ball during the early stages of camp. According to Pirates manager Don Kelly, the young outfielder has held his own in the outfield when fielding flyballs. Kelly noted that Garcia's impact and ceiling" is "really high." The Pirates acquired Garcia […]


Ricky Tiedemann Could See Time as Reliever in 2026?

Toronto Blue Jays left-handed prospect Ricky Tiedemann could be deployed in a relief role this season, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. The young lefty is currently working his way back from Tommy John surgery and has looked quite impressive in the early stages of camp. According to Matheson, while Tiedemann has "all the time […]
