  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Multi-hit effort in spring win

    Devers went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-7 Cactus League win over the Guardians.

    Devers hit an RBI single in the third inning and added another single in the fifth before coming around to score. The veteran slugger also doubled in the seventh. Devers slashed .172/.200/.310 with five RBI, three runs scored and one home run across 30 plate appearances in nine Cactus League games. His batting average dipped last season after his trade to San Francisco, though he still logged 35 long balls -- his fourth campaign with at least 30 homers across nine MLB seasons.

  • Vinny Capra 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Vinny Capra: Cut from Red Sox camp

    The Red Sox reassigned Capra to minor-league camp Saturday.

    Last spring, Capra was able to secure a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, but the 29-year-old utility man wasn't as fortunate in his first camp with the Red Sox. Capra will presumably begin the season at Triple-A Worcester, where he should get the chance to play on a near-everyday basis. Between the Brewers and White Sox in 2025, Capra saw action in 47 games and slashed .125/.157/.177 with one home run and two stolen bases across 105 plate appearances.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Roaring into regular season

    Riley went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run and four RBI in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.

    The long ball wasn't a cheap one -- Riley got hold of a Garrett Crochet cutter in the second inning and put it over the ersatz Green Monster at JetBlue Park. It was Riley's fifth homer of the spring, and the third baseman knocked both his doubles off Boston's ace as well. Over 15 Grapefruit League games, Riley is batting .395 (15-for-38) with a 6:8 BB:K, and he looks more than ready for Opening Day.

  • Carter Kieboom 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Carter Kieboom: Moved to Philadelphia

    The Guardians traded Kieboom to the Phillies on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Kieboom inked a minor-league deal with the Guardians in mid-January and appeared 16 Cactus League games for Cleveland, posting a .160/.192/.320 slash line with one home run and five RBI in 26 plate appearances. Per Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Kierboom will report to Philadelphia's minor-league camp and likely open the season in Triple-A but could see some major-league action if the Phillies need additional depth at first base.

  • Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL

    Braves' Kyle Farmer: Gets split contract with Atlanta

    Atlanta signed Farmer to a one-year split contract Saturday.

    The 35-year-old infielder was invited to spring training by Atlanta in early February. Across 12 Grapefruit League games, he posted a .400/.417/.514 slash line with one home run and five RBI in 36 plate appearances. A path to the Opening Day roster opened up when Jurickson Profar was suspended for the entire 2026 season after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug for a second time in the last year, but Farmer could still begin the season at Triple-A Gwinnett.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Back in camp

    Suarez went 1-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's spring game against the Cubs.

    A triumphant Suarez returned to Cactus League action following his starring role for Team Venezuela in its victory in the World Baseball Classic final over Team USA. On Friday, he served as Reds' designated hitter, which will be his everyday role in 2026 with occasional starts at corner infield.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: Serves as cleanup batter

    Arenado batted fourth and went 1-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Friday's spring game against Milwaukee.

    Arenado's bases-loaded, two-out grounder down the third base line made it into the corner in left field and cleared the bases in the second inning. This was Arenado's second game back from the World Baseball Classic, and he's delivered five runs on two doubles from the cleanup spot. This late in spring training, a batting order tends to resemble what it might look like on Opening Day, so it appears Arenado will be in a spot to drive in runs in 2026. The 34-year-od third baseman (who turns 35 in April) is looking to bounce back from two sub-par seasons with St. Louis with a fresh start in the desert.

  • Tyler Freeman 3B | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Could begin season on IL

    Freeman (back) remains sidelined and could begin the 2026 season on the injured list, MLB.com reports.

    Freeman was scratched with back tightness Wednesday and has yet to return to action. His status is still ambiguous, though he'll likely need to get back on the field for a Cactus League game to have a chance to avoid the injured list to begin the regular season.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Slumping this spring

    Lewis is hitting just .091 (3-for-33) with two home runs this spring. He has two walks and 11 strikeouts.

    Lewis appears healthy after missing a few days due to tightness in his side which is likely the most important aspect of his spring. However, it would be nice to see him get on a roll the final few days of spring training. Still, he's set to be the everyday starter at third base.

  • Rays' Justyn-Henry Malloy: Moves to minor-league camp

    The Rays optioned Malloy to minor-league camp Friday.

    The Rays traded for Malloy in January, but the 26-year-old won't make the Opening Day roster. The former Tiger went 8-for-36 (.222) with two doubles, a stolen base and a 2:8 BB:K for the Rays during spring training.
