Can you predict the Rays Opening Day 26 man roster?
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports We are just a week from Opening Day. While the Rays have already made a number of cuts to their Spring Training roster, they will need to make more to get down to the 26 men (no more than 13 pitchers) they are permitted on March 30. This year, many players are a lock, but there are still some battles that may not be resolved until next week, especially with Glasnow’s injury leaving the team down one starter. Can you predict who will break camp on the major league team (with breaking camp just a figure of speech here since they aren’t...

There’s some older business that needs to be covered of course — Carlos Rodón and Harrison Bader’s injuries, just to name a couple — but there’s also the...

Yankees 1, Cardinals 1: Cortes dazzles in pitchers’ duel
Photo by New York Yankees/ In his second start since his early spring injury, Nasty Nestor’s stuff looked quite ready for Opening Day. On a spring afternoon dominated by pitching excellence from both the Yankees and Cardinals, New York got to enjoy some very reassuring work by 2022 All-Star Nestor Cortes. The southpaw was only making his second start of camp due to the hamstring injury that kept him out of both the World Baseball Classic and early spring action, but he looked much closer to his vintage form than in his initial outing. The final result turned out to be...

Yankees 2023 Season Preview: Luis Severino
Dave Nelson-USA TODAY Sports Severino, the former prospect-turned-ace, enters what could be his final season in the Bronx A long, long time ago, Luis Severino was that rarest of diamonds: the homegrown starting pitching prospect who, after a bit of an adjustment at the big league level, turned into a bona fide ace. Between 2017 and 2018, the All-Star right-hander won 33 games while tossing over 380 innings. He whiffed 450 opposing batters, and racked up 11.0 fWAR. Then, the injuries struck. From 2019 through 2021, Severino managed to toss a total of 18 innings for the...

Nick Senzel returned to the Cincinnati Reds batting order last night mid-game, and tonight he’ll get his first start of Cactus League action since returning from a debilitating toe injury. He’s still slated to begin the season on the Injured List, and while that’s frustrating, what’s intriguing is his apparent ‘new’ usage.
