The Milwaukee Brewers are targeting March 14 for catcher Gary Sanchez (hand) to make his Cactus League debut.

It […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) was scratched from Friday's Grapefruit League lineup against the Baltimore Orioles "as a precaution" due to right-knee soreness.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik (13-5) returns to the Octagon this weekend in the main event of UFC Vegas 87. He is set to face off against undefeated UFC prospect, Shamil Gaziev.

Washington Nationals right-hander Tanner Rainey, who returned late last year from Tommy John surgery, had a perfect inning in his Grapefruit League outing on Thursday and threw only nine pitches (six strikes).

Kyle Finnegan Evolving With New Sweeper

Washington Nationals reliever Kyle Finnegan tried out a new sweeper for the first time in a Grapefruit League game on Wednesday.

Josh Naylor Goes 1-for-3 On Wednesday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor went 1-for-3 on Wednesday in an 8-6 Cactus League loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

San Francisco Giants right-hander Tristan Beck (arm) said he will undergo vascular surgery at Stanford University on Monday to address the aneurysm in his upper right arm.

Justin Verlander To Throw Another Bullpen Sunday

Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander (shoulder) will throw another bullpen session in camp on Sunday, and the Astros will determine Verlander's next step after that.

Kyle Anderson Not Expected To Play On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (knee) has been listed as doubtful on Friday while he suffers from a left knee sprain.
