There is no clock in baseball, and any half-inning could, in theory, last forever—the Dodgers decided to test the boundaries of that by scoring a ridiculous 10 runs in the third inning on their way to a blowout win. If you ask me, it was a bit overkill given how dominant Tyler Glasnow was, but the more the merrier, and who doesn’t love to see a lot of runs? This particular rally began with a solo shot from Teoscar Hernández…

…and it ended with a Shohei Ohtani bases-loaded three-run double, scalding a ball to levels that make you question if he is truly human when such majestic feats have become the norm for the reigning back-to-back NL MVP.

Funny enough, a home run would eventually come from the leadoff spot, but not from Ohtani. Once the replacements started to come in, James Tibbs III batted for Ohtani and hit an impressive solo shot to left centerfield.

The 13 runs the Dodgers scored were more than enough to back up Glasnow’s performance. Whenever someone asks you to describe the Glasnow experience, simply point to a start such as this one against the Angels, tossing five one-run innings and recording all but four of his outs via strikeout. Not nearly as efficient as most of the other ace-caliber pitchers, Glasnow dominates in rare fashion, even if he ultimately goes an inning or two shorter than you would like for someone of his caliber. Possessing two outstanding breaking balls, Glasnow can often pick up clues on which one is working best in any particular evening and just ride with it; tonight, it was the curveball.

Glasnow leaned into a curveball that was particularly dazzling, inducing a whopping 13 whiffs on 18 swings, mystifying Angel batters all evening long. The sole blemish on his record was a long shot to Jorge Soler on a 2-2 four-seam fastball that could not have been more than middle-middle if Glasnow had tried it. Speaking of Soler, if not for the Dodgers’ scoring outburst in the third, his performance would probably be the headline of this game. Soler also took Tanner Scott deep, this time for a three-run shot in the sixth. Once again, it was a fastball, this one not nearly as poorly located, that caused the damage. Scott’s blowup inning was the one big negative for the Dodgers in this game, as the left-hander allowed three earned runs while recording only one out.

Up next

The Dodgers and Angels meet again on Monday night, this time at Dodger Stadium. Reid Detmers will be the starter for the visiting team, while the Dodgers have yet to announce theirs. Start time at 6:10 p.m. PT.

Record: 15-13-1. Change on 2025: -1. 5-inning Record: 11-16-2.

The Diamondbacks saved the best for last, punching out their biggest margin of victory in the final Cactus League game. An emphatic 11-1 victory over the Padres was anchored by Gabriel Moreno, who hit two home-runs and doubled, giving him three long-balls for spring. Jorge Barrosa also hit his third HR, and Ildemaro Vargas went deep for the second time. The D-backs pounded out sixteen hits all told, with Ryan Waldschmidt joining Moreno in the three-hit club, and Barrosa singling in addition to his homer. Ben McLaughlin drew a pair of walks, as Arizona finished by going 7-1-1 over their final nine games. Not that it matters, of course… 🙂

The pitching was almost as good as the hitting, holding the Padres to five hits and two walks. It was a bullpen game for the Diamondbacks, and opener John Curtiss went two scoreless with a walk and four strikeouts. Brandyn Garcia rebounded from his recent struggles, fanning two of the three batters he faced. Juan Morillo was the only pitcher scored upon, allowing a solo home-run in the fourth. But thereafter we saw two scoreless innings from Shawn Dubin, then Yilber Diaz, Logan Mercado and Taylor Rashi took things the rest of the way for the D-backs bullpen.

Tomorrow, it’s back to Chase Field, for the first of two warm-up games there against the Cleveland Guardians. First pitch is at 6:40 pm, with Merrill Kelly starting for Arizona.

The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: (subscription required) Following yesterday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies, the New York Yankees announced their rotation to start the season: Max Fried, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, and Ryan Weathers. Notably absent, of course, was 2024 AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil. With the number of days off during the first week and a half of the season, the Yankees can get away with a four-man rotation the first two times through the order.

At this point, it’s unclear whether Gil — who has been working with Matt Blake to change the release point on his fastball, in the hopes of turning it back into the out pitch it was in the first half of 2024 — will break camp with the big league club, working as a piggyback behind Weathers, or with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, allowing the Yankees to bring an extra reliever.

SNY.com | Alex Smith: Facing a roster crunch, the Yankees traded infielder Jorbit Vivas, who is out of options, to the Washington Nationals yesterday afternoon (as Michael covered for us). In exchange, they received pitching prospect Sean Paul Liñan (Washington’s 27th overall prospect, according to MLB Pipeline), who was acquired from the Dodgers in their Trade Deadline swing for Alex Call, and whose fastball is lacking but whose changeup has screwball-like qualities and has been compared to Devin William’s famous Airbender.

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: With Grapefruit League action coming to a close yesterday (the games today and tomorrow are, technically, not spring training matchups, but exhibitions), the Yankees announced this year’s James P. Dawson Award winner, given to the most outstanding rookie in spring training. To nobody’s surprise, pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange, whose performance put him on the map nationally and which forced difficult conversations about whether or not the Yankees ought to have him start the season with the big-league club, was this year’s award recipient.

---

Lastly, in case you’re curious, a few old Yankees friends on the bubble received some news over the weekend about whether or not they made their teams out of spring training. MLB Trade Rumors helps out on the rapid-fire:

• Jonathan Loáisiga cracked the Diamondbacks bullpen as a non-roster invitee to spring training.
• The Phillies picked up one erstwhile Yankees reliever and demoted another, with Tim Mayza joining their ’pen on a minor-league deal and Lou Trivino getting assigned to Triple-A.
• Also in the not-so-lucky bunch alongside Trivino, Gio Urshela and Austin Slater were released by the Twins and Tigers, respectively.
• These notes are a few days old, but Ian Hamilton did not make the Braves’ bullpen and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett, and the Red Sox signed Tommy Kahnle to a minor-league deal after his appearance in the World Baseball Classic. It’s likely that the changeup specialist will need to open 2026 at Triple-A to tune up.
• The worst news might go to Mike Tauchman, who was on track to join the Mets as a fourth outfielder but instead suffered a meniscus tear in his knee. Ouch. Condolences to the ol’ Sock Man.

I have to be honest with you, reader, the players on the field in this one were about as tired of Spring Training as I am. Sean Burke was solid in his final tuneup before adding “Day After Opening Day Starter” to his CV, allowing just a pair of runs over five innings. Unfortunately, he wound up the hard-luck loser when his lineup failed to make a dent in the formidable pitching operation of the defending AL West champs.

Burke registered six strikeouts in those five innings of work despite severely diminished fastball velocity, averaging a hair faster than 92 mph on his heater tonight after sitting in the 94-95 mph range all spring. Given that it’s his last outing before the games actually count, it could be that the sophomore righthander just wasn’t trying to fully air it out and risk being fatigued for his scheduled regular season start on Saturday. Still, it’s something to keep an eye on.

And the diminished velo was directly responsible for one of the two runs he allowed, when he placed a fastball on a tee up in the zone to Mitch Garver, who is not an impossible hitter to get a high fastball by if it’s not 91 mph.

One pitcher who wasn’t working with diminished stuff? Bryan Woo, who gave up a double to Andrew Benintendi to lead off the game and then proceeded to sit down the next 16 Sox hitters, four of them by strikeout. He brushed 97 mph on a buzzing heater and allowed just an 84 mph average exit velocity, with no one topping 100 mph between Benintendi’s double and a 107 mph line out from Munetaka Murakami in the fifth.

Burke gave way to lefty Chris Murphy, who threw a scoreless sixth inning in what will presumably be his last appearance before opening the season on a major league roster for the first time. In the Chicago half of the inning, it was the newest member of the club who finally got to Woo, as Reese McGuire’s one-out double snapped the Sox out of it. Woo nonetheless looked to be on the verge of escaping the jam before a fantastic piece of hitting from Chase Meidroth shot the ball into the corner and brought home a run.

Woo departed after that inning, but he was followed by Andrés Muñoz, and you just know that late-spring depth Sox bats had a fruit fly’s chance against him, so that was that. The rest of the game was played as if both teams were ready to board a plane back to their respective cities. The seventh and eighth for the Sox were handled by non-roster players Lucas Sims (who pitched ably) and Chase Plymell (who did not, allowing the Mariners to tack on two more). Big righty Riley Gowens capped things off with a scoreless ninth for the Pale Hose, his last work before potentially heading down to Charlotte for the first regular bullpen work of his career.

The White Sox did claw one back in the eighth courtesy of a solo jack from, you guessed it, McGuire again. The guy must have missed being in pinstripes.

— White Sox on CHSN (@CHSN_WhiteSox) March 23, 2026

The ninth was handled for Seattle by erstwhile Red Sox starter Cooper Criswell, who allowed an extremely on-brand bloop single to Rikuu Nishida to nearly spark a comeback. The Sox loaded the bases with one out against Criswell before the crafty righty shut things down, and that was all she wrote for the this one. The Sox drop back to .500 for the spring, with one more chance to finish on a positive note before finalizing the roster and cranking things up for good.

That one chance will happen tomorrow afternoon, as this edition of Spring Training concludes for the Sox in Mesa against the Athletics. First pitch is at 2 p.m. CT, with Anthony Kay taking the ball with one more chance to prepare before his return to the big leagues. Leigh Allan — 5-0 on coverage this spring — has the game, and we’ll see you there!

---

The next time Bryan Woo pitches, it will count for real. 

The Mariners beat the White Sox 2-1 in the next to last game of the preseason. Woo got the start and looked sharp. He needed just 73 pitches to get through his scheduled six innings. He struck out four, walked none, and gave up three hits. His velocity was a touch down from a year ago, though not in a concerning range. It was a solid final warmup before the real thing next week. 

It was who Woo threw to on Sunday that stole the show. Mitch Garver smacked a homer and drove in a run with a sac fly. That’s after it was announced this morning that Garver had won backup catcher job to begin the season. Shannon Drayer shared this quote from Dan Wilson when the news announced, hinting at the team’s thought process for keeping Garver around. 

“I think the job that Garv does is tremendous,” Wilson said last week. “And I think he’s able to lean on experience. He takes our information very seriously, too. When you combine those two, Garv does a really good job back there. I think that’s a huge asset that we have in that we have Cal, who does such a great job, is one of the best catchers in the league, was one of the best players in the league, period. And then you have a guy with experience, and as the backup role, that really helps a lot in the background, too, behind the scenes with a lot of our guys. And so it’s really a good combination to have.”

Garver was obviously not what the Mariners hoped for when they signed him to a two-year deal in 2024. He posted an 86 wRC+ in 720 plate appearances before becoming a free agent. That’s fine for a backup catcher, but the initial plan was for him to serve as the team’s DH. It wasn’t clear whether he’d continue to serve as Cal Raleigh’s understudy after reaching free agency this offseason. It seemed less likely when the Mariners signed Andrew Knizner and Johnny Pereda. But Raleigh reportedly reached out to Garver, the latest evidence of his impact beyond the field, eventually leading the Mariners to bring Garver back to camp. He has now won the job. 

I like Garver. He’s a fine backup catcher. He continues to hit lefties pretty well. I’m not sure there’s a less consequential role than backup to Cal Raleigh, and Garver fills it well. 

There honestly wasn’t a lot else to this game. Andrés Muñoz pitched and was fine. Jose Ferrer pitched and gave up a home run. Cooper Criswell closed out the game, with only a touch of heart burn. Each team collected just a few hits. It was fast and painless, which is all you can ask for at this time of year. Bring on the regular season. 

Roster moves

The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves and have 33 players in camp.

Optioned to Triple-A Reno:

• LHP Philip Abner

Reassigned to Minor League camp:

• C Aramis Garcia
• INF Jacob Amaya

The first of these is a bit of a surprise. Only yesterday, I was noting how Abner seemed to have the inside track for left-handers job, after the recent meltdowns of Brandyn Garcia. Now, it seems either it’s Garcia’s job, or the Diamondbacks will be going without a left-handed option out of the pen.

Lineup Update:

CF – Barrosa
2B – Vargas
C – Moreno
1B – Smith
LF – Waldschmidt
DH – McLaughlin
3B – Soler
RF – Ortiz
SS – Clark
SP – Curtiss

— Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) March 22, 2026

The finale of the Cactus League today, with the remaining games tomorrow and Tuesday being on the hallowed (artificial) turf of Chase Field. John Curtiss gets the start, to be followed by LHP Brandyn Garcia, RHP Juan Morillo, RHP Taylor Rashi, RHP Shawn Dubin and, uh, according to the D-backs team notes anyway, RHP John Curtiss again. I presume the Curtiss start is to avoid a divisional rival getting experience late in spring against a recognized starting pitcher. This game was originally going to be broadcast on Arizona Sports, but the team notes make no mention of this. The change in start time from an afternoon game may have screwed things up there.

It’s the penultimate night in Peoria, er, Glendale.

Bryan Woo will get the ball in the Mariners’ next to last game of Spring Training. The next time we see him, it’ll count for real. Catching Woo today is newly appointed backup catcher Mitch Garver. The rest of the Mariners lineup is not quite what they’ll send out on Opening Day lineup, but still a group of players who will feature throughout the season.

Also expected to pitch today: Andrés Muñoz, Jhonathan Díaz, Jose Ferrer, Casey Legumina, and Cooper Criswell.

First Pitch: 6:05 pm PDT

Radio: 710 AM Seattle Sports, MLB.com

Four, that’s right, four days to go until the games start meaning to mean! Until then, we’ll have to sate ourselves with whatever kind of scrap of news this is.

The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms with catcher Reese McGuire on a one-year, $1.2-million contract.

— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) March 22, 2026

Uh, alright? Nothing wrong with a little catching depth, I suppose? Korey Lee doesn’t have any options remaining and has had a productive spring, so he’s been a lock to make the roster the moment Kyle Teel pulled up limping in the World Baseball Classic. The whole “$1.2 million” thing there, though, indicates that McGuire has a real possibility of making the roster, if it’s not already foregone. This, to me, is strange, because while I’m interested to see whether Lee’s offseason hitting work has paid off, he doesn’t need to be in the lineup almost every day like both Teel and Edgar Quero do. That would make a third catcher on the roster redundant, so I’m curious to see what it all means.

Anyhow, not a ton interesting about the lineup the Sox are running out against Seattle tonight, but the battle between Tristan Peters, Everson Pereira, and Derek Hill rages on for what may now be two open outfield spots, with Brooks Baldwin out of the picture for the opener on Thursday. It’ll also be the last time Camelback Ranch sees White Sox game action until 2027, as they’ll be on the road for their final outing of the spring season tomorrow.

Sean Burke takes the ball for one final tune-up start before they really start to count, hoping to end with a flourish to offset what to this point has been a somewhat wobbly spring. He did look solid his last time out, nearly making it through five innings against Texas last Monday while surrendering just a single run. He’s on pace to get the nod for game two of the regular season against Milwaukee, on Saturday.

Opposite Burke, Sox hitters will get a look at Seattle’s burgeoning ace in Bryan Woo, who surely wants to come into the regular season hot after injuries kept him out of the 2025 postseason rotation despite a Cy Young-caliber campaign. Outside of Woo, most of Seattle’s big names are getting the night off, as Cal Raleigh dons the tools of ignorance by his lonesome without any of Julio Rodríguez, Randy Arozarena or Josh Naylor buffering him in the lineup.

GB community, this is your thread for today’s game. Enjoy!

Here at BrewCrewBall, normally our game recaps provide a play-by-play (or, at least the important plays) of the game that we’re recapping. Since today’s Spring Breakout is an exhibition game, more of an excuse to showcase prospects than a game that really counts for anything, I thought I’d do this recap a bit differently. Here are some of the prospects that stood out in today’s 9-8 loss to the Athletics:

Blake Burke:

Burke, who played first base tonight, had the Brewers’ only two-hit performance in today’s game. Both hits were singles, with the first an RBI single in the first to score Luis Peña and give Milwaukee a 2-0 lead. Burke also stole third base twice en route to a three-steal performance. He played out of his mind once being promoted to Double-A (300/.377/.579 with 11 HRs in just 140 at-bats); if he can sustain anything close to that level of performance next season, it might not be long before he’s in a major league clubhouse.

Jesus Made

The good: Made only had one hit in three at-bats, but his hit — a 112.7 mph line drive double off of A’s No. 2 prospect Jamie Arnold — was the second-hardest hit ball of the day. The bad: he did have two throwing errors, one of which cost the Brewers a run. Not much more to say about Made, who continues to impress in one way or another nearly every time he’s on the field. He’s Milwaukee’s No. 1 prospect for a reason.

Jesús Made just started this game with a 112.7 MPH double to the wall in right-center.

— Javik Blake (@javblake8) March 22, 2026

Eric Bitonti

Bitonti’s power has never been in question; he hit 19 home runs last year in Single-A . He ended the season still in Single-A because, despite all his power, he strikes out too much. Bitonti did strike out once in his two at-bats, but the other at-bat ended in a monstrous home run that came off the bat at 115.7 mph. With all the other talented corner infielders in the Brewers’ system, he has been somewhat overlooked. Today’s home run is a reminder that if he can cut down on the strikeouts, his power could be a true difference maker someday.

— Javik Blake (@javblake8) March 22, 2026

Other position players who had hits included Andrew Fischer, Brady Ebel, and Daniel Dickinson, all 2025 draft picks. Ebel’s hit, a double to left field, tied the game at 7 for the Brewers in the eighth inning. Fischer’s been flashing all spring between the World Baseball Classic and Spring Training, and tonight was no exception — smoking a 111.3 mph double down the right field line to score Ebel and give the Brewers an 8-7 lead.

Another day, another barrel from Andrew Fischer. This one's off the bat at 111 MPH for a double down the RF line.

Luis Peña got the Brewers on the board in the first with his only hit of the contest:

Luis Peña is a special player in the making#SpringBreakoutpic.twitter.com/tmou3UlGbM

— Milwaukee Brewers (@Brewers) March 22, 2026

The pitching staff was a bit less impressive today, as Ethan Dorchies and Wande Torres were the only pitchers who didn’t allow a run. Starter Tyson Hardin allowed four hits and three runs in two innings, walking two and striking out one. The Brewers put up four runs before he was pulled, so Hardin exited the game with the lead. His replacement, Brett Wichrowski, gave up three runs in 0.2 innings, although one of the three was unearned due to a Made throwing error. The winning run for the Athletics was scored on a Darrien Miller passed ball in the bottom of the eighth, although pitcher Mark Manfredi had already allowed three hits and walked a batter during the frame.

I’d also be remiss not to mention that Josh Adamczewski made a nice leaping catch on the warning track to end the fourth inning, Adamczewski was listed as an infielder and mainly played middle infield last season, but the Brewers have a logjam of prospects (Made, Peña, Cooper Pratt, Jett Williams) that play shortstop and/or second base. Because of this, the Brewers are giving Adamczewski reps in left field to get his bat in the lineup. Seeing him do stuff like this in the outfield is a great sign:

Before the Yankees begin their 2026 season with Wednesday's 8:05 p.m. Opening Night game at the San Francisco Giants, New York has two more spring training games -- 3:05 p.m. starts Monday and Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs in Mesa, Ariz.

Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery recovery) will start Tuesday's game with two innings in mind, followed by left-hander Ryan Weathers, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.

The Yankees enter the regular season with a four-man rotation -- left-hander Max Fried, right-handers Cam Schlittler and Will Warren and the left-handed Weathers -- YES Network's Meredith Marakovits reported.

New York is "discussing what that means for Luis Gil," Hoch said.

"Gil will remain behind in Tampa and throw live batting practice on Wednesday," Hoch wrote. "The Yanks are considering optioning him to the minors. If they don't, Matt Blake said they may use him in a piggyback role."

Gil's spring training was a struggle, but he ended his last start on a high note.

Anthony Volpe injury update

ShortstopAnthony Volpe (left shoulder) "is expected to get in rehab games in mid April," according to Marakovits.

More than a month ago, Volpe said that an April return would "definitely" be possible.

Carlos Lagrange wins 2026 James P. Dawson Award

The Yankees' annual honor for the most outstanding rookie of spring training is Carlos Lagrange, the right-hander whose efforts made being sent down "a difficult decision."

"Well, I feel pretty good with my participation in this big league camp," Lagrange told Marakovits. "You know, that was my first one. It was pretty good."

Lagrange, 22, went 1-0 with a 0.66 ERA in 13.1 IP over four games (one start), allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits (one homer) while striking out 13 and walking four.

"I think I take a lot of confidence because when you have a really good team on your back, you know, you pitch with confidence," Lagrange said. "And during the summer, you know they can help you make the plays."

Lagrange is the Yankees' top pitching prospect and ranked No. 2 overall behind infielder Greg Lombard Jr., according to MLB Pipeline.

The Mets lost their final spring training game 4-3, holding the lead from the fourth inning until the Marlins scored two runs in the ninth to win the game.

• David Peterson threw 76 pitches over five innings, giving up one run on five hits and a walk, while striking out four.
• Luke Weaver got just one out, giving up a run without giving up a hit, but instead walking three batters.
• Zach Peek and Ben Simon both had scoreless outings, going 0.2 innings and 1.0 inning respectively. SImon also struck out two batters and walked one.
• Parker Carlson picked up the blown save and the loss, giving up the tying and go-ahead run in the ninth, but overall he went 1.2 innings and struck out three.
• Bo Bichette went 1-for-2 with a double and a walk, driving in a run and scoring a run as well.
• Brett Baty went 1-for-3 with an RBI, and Jorge Polanco collected an RBI of his own on a sacrifice fly.
• Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto each collected a hit as well, and both came around to score.

The Mets don’t play again until Thursday, when they’re back in Citi Field and taking on Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Opening Day. It’s a 1:15 PM ET start, and will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock, so you’ll have to wait a little longer to hear Gary, Keith, and Ron’s dulcet tones.
