Tucker is uncertain to play for Team United States in Tuesday's World Baseball Classic final versus Team Japan due to a sore ankle, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Tucker was removed from Saturday's game against Venezuela after fouling a ball off his ankle. He didn't play Sunday versus Cuba, although he might not have started, anyway, since they were starting a left-hander. It doesn't seem like Tucker's ankle issue is anything to worry about, although the Astros probably wouldn't mind if he sat out Tuesday as a precaution.

Kelenic was lifted from Monday's Cactus League contest versus the Brewers with a possible injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. It's unclear what he's dealing with, but Kelenic was pinch-hit for in the third inning, indicating it's likely injury-related. He's been a standout this spring, batting .410 with four home runs and three stolen bases.

Suarez threw 1.1 innings of scoreless baseball during Tuesday's Grapefruit League appearance, and hasn't given up a run...

A Colorado couple is sitting in their in-ground hot tub around 8 p.m. on Saturday night (18 March 2023) when the man felt "something grab his head." The couple is frightened as the wife screams and they splash water at the mountain lion. Thanks to the wife's quick thinking, she grabs a flashlight and shines the light at the mountain lion, and they make plenty of noise to scare it away.

President Joe Biden on Monday quietly signed into law a measure backed by conservatives in Congress that blocks local criminal justice reforms approved by Washington, D.C.'s city council.

Pittsburgh, PA

Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. Ramirez pitched 27 innings for Pittsburgh last season, posting a 3.67 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He's struggled this spring, however, allowing 10 earned runs through 5.1 frames, so the Pirates will give him a chance to settle in with Triple-A Indianapolis. If he's able to bring his numbers back down, he could rejoin the Pirates' bullpen during the season.

Kelenic (quad) "will be fine," Mariners manager Scott Servais told Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times on Monday. Kelenic was lifted for a pinch hitter Monday due to some minor quad tightness, but his skipper doesn't seem worried at all that it's something that could linger. The Mariners are off Tuesday, and while it's possible Kelenic is held out for a few days as a precaution, he should be fine come Opening Day. The outfielder is sporting a robust .410/.439/.872 batting line with four homers this spring.

Mariners' Jarred Kelenic: Expected to be fine

Eaton is batting .357 (10-for-28) over 12 Cactus League games. Eaton has played regularly this spring and it looks like he's ready to handle a starting role. With Drew Waters (oblique) likely out to begin the season, Eaton should have a chance to establish himself, likely as the Royals' primary left fielder. The 26-year-old also has some experience in the infield, so he could be a utility option later in the campaign if he doesn't maintain a starting role. His primarily appeal in fantasy is his speed -- he had 11 stolen bases in 44 major-league games as a rookie last season.

Royals' Nate Eaton: Looks ready for starting role

Hummel, who went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in a Cactus League win over the Brewers on Monday, is projected to make the Opening Day roster by Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Kramer fleshed out his position-by-position Opening Day roster prognosis Friday, and Hummel, who can fill...

Milwaukee, WI

Antetokounmpo isn't with the team and won't suit up Wednesday against the Spurs. Antetokounmpo isn't a regular part of the rotation, so his absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops, but his next chance to don the uniform arrives Friday as the Bucks embark on a four-game road trip beginning in Salt Lake City.

Hiura has brought back the toe tap in his swing, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. It's something that Hiura is trying to reincorporate on the fly as he struggles to find a groove in Cactus League play. Through his first 35 plate appearances this spring, the 26-year-old has batted just .156/.229/.219 with zero home runs and 15 strikeouts. He is out of minor-league options, so a tough decision could be coming soon as the Brewers sort out their Opening Day roster.

Brewers' Keston Hiura: Bringing back toe tap

Liberatore was optioned to Triple-A Memphis by the Cardinals on Tuesday. St. Louis has enjoyed a fairly healthy spring, which means that Liberatore will head back to the minors to work on his craft. Adam Wainwright, Miles Mikolas, Jordan Montgomery, Jack Flaherty and Steven Matz will make up the season-opening starting rotation for the reigning NL Central champs.

Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore: Optioned to Triple-A level

Kelenic went 2-for-3 with his second triple of spring training in Sunday's loss to the Rangers, raising his Cactus League average to .421 over 40 plate appearances. Kelenic's spring batting line includes two doubles, four home runs and nine RBI in addition to the pair of three-baggers, and he's also struck out at a 20.0 percent clip. The latter number may be almost as encouraging as the others, considering making consistent contact at the big-league level proved extremely elusive for Kelenic over his first two Mariners stints in 2021 and 2022, as evidenced by the 29.7 percent strikeout rate he mustered in that span. However, his highly promising talent has typically remained prominently on display at Triple-A Tacoma during parts of those same seasons, where Kelenic has looked like a much more confident hitter and produced impressively modest 15.4 and 20.8 percent strikeout rates in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Mariners' Jarred Kelenic: Torrid spring continues

Phoenix, AZ

Andrew hurled six scoreless innings during Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks. Anderson allowed just three hits, and he walked two with four strikeouts. The left-hander has made just two spring appearances in 2023, but he has yet to allow a run while giving up just those three hits in eight innings of work. Anderson had a breakout season in 2023, and while those results aren't likely repeatable he does have a chance to provide fantasy relevancy this summer if he's a semblance of a pitcher he was with the Dodgers in 2022.
