Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert had an impressive outing Sunday against the Angels.

Jordan Montgomery Pitches Well On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery pitched well against the Phillies on Sunday, tossing three shutout innings with two hits allowed.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder/outfielder Brandon Lowe went 1-for-3 with one hit, a run scored, and a strikeout in Sunday's loss to the Twins.

Brett Gardner Hits A Grand Slam On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 1-for-1 with a walk and a grand slam against the Phillies on Sunday, his first home run of spring training this year.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Ji-Hwan Bae picked up his first hits of the spring on Sunday afternoon, finishing 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored in the 13-1 victory over the Orioles.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill launched his first home run of the spring on Sunday against the Houston Astros. The 25-year-old outfielder is off to a nice start to the spring (4-for-10) with top prospect Dylan Carlson breathing down his neck.

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Richard Rodriguez made his spring debut on Sunday afternoon, allowing one run on two hits while striking out two in the Pirates' 13-1 victory.

Grayson Greiner Hit In The Face

Detroit Tigers catcher Grayson Greiner left Sunday's game under his own power after being hit in the face by Elvis Luciano of the Toronto Blue Jays. With Wilson Ramos expected to start at catcher, Greiner is battling Jake Rogers and Dustin Garneau for playing time in 2021 so the club will hope that this is […]

Josh Donaldson Clobbers Three-Run Homer In Spring Debut

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in his Grapefruit League debut on Sunday. Donaldson's homer to center field was absolutely tagged, as the exit velocity was 110.2 MPH with the ball traveling 417 feet. Even one of his outs was loud, as he put a 106.9 MPH ball […]

James Reimer Tends Twine On Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender James Reimer will make his 13th start of the campaign as his team hosts the Florida Panthers on Sunday afternoon.

The Pittsburgh Pirates picked up hurler Duane Underwood Jr. from the Chicago Cubs on Sunday in exchange for minor league first baseman Shendrik Apostel.
