James McCann Scratched With Back Tightness

New York Mets catcher James McCann (back) was scratched from the spring training game on Tuesday when his back tightened up.

It doesn't sound like the Mets believe the 31-year-old's injury […]

Starling Marte Hits Off Tee Tuesday

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (oblique) hit off a tee on Tuesday for the first time since being shut down in camp with a sore left oblique.

St. Louis Blues defenseman Torey Krug injured his left hand in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Washington, exiting the game in the second period.
