Brad Peacock Confident He'll Be Ready For Opening Day

Houston Astros right-handed pitcher Brad Peacock (shoulder) is making progress and is confident he'll be ready by Opening Day.

But Peacock […]

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Kwang-Hyun Kim was perfect in his Grapefruit League debut, facing six batters and getting all six outs.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin threw two scoreless innings with no strikeouts in his Spring Training debut Wednesday. Eflin walked a batter but didn't allow a hit in the contest.
