St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright pitched just 2 2/3 innings in Monday's Grapefruit League game.

Jahmai Jones Optioned To Triple-A

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jahmai Jones was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk last Friday, per MASN Sports' Rock Kubatko. The 23-year-old joined a crowded O's infield this spring with just seven big-league plate appearances and managed to slash just .136/.240/.273 throughout the spring, so it is not all that surprising that he got optioned. Ramon Urias […]

Keegan Akin Optioned To Triple-A

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Keegan Akin was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk last Friday, per MASN Sports' Rock Kubatko. The 25-year-old started spring training as a favorite to make the rotation, but he allowed 10 runs on 15 hits with seven walks with 14 strikeouts over nine innings pitched.

Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum scored 34 points on Monday, but his performance wasn't enough in a 115-109 loss to New Orleans.

Seth Brown Optioned To Triple-A

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas, according to MLB.com. The move clears the way for Ka'ai Tom to make the Opening Day roster for Oakland. Tom was one of the most electrifying players in A's camp while Brown batted just .226 across 38 plate appearances in Cactus League play. Brown […]
