2026 is already void of Pablo Days. | Stephen Maturen / Getty Images
As many suspected once the news of Pablo López’s ligament tear broke, the right-hander’s season is over.
One day into the 2026 season, the Twins lost their #1 starter to an elbow injury during live batting practice. López will now spend the season recovering after doctors reconstruct his elbow.
In terms of roster construction, this immediately knocks askew any perceptions of trying to win with this roster constructed from pockets sewn shallow. Joe Ryan, who spent last year in Cy Young contention, stays at the top of the rotation unless or until he gets traded; behind him, the Twins have a handful of back-of-rotation players, at least one of which now have to elevate their play if the team hopes to, as ownership insists, win with the guys they have.
We’ve already discussed on the site the different options Minnesota has to fill out their rotation, whether through elevated an untested player or bringing in someone still on the market. But whichever option the front office chooses, the team now lacks one of their best players, an energetic fan favorite.
The news of López’s surgery was not a surprise, but to all Twins fans, it was a disappointment, and fewer and fewer will be looking forward to the 2026 season. It’s still baseball, but the excitement that comes with spring has faded.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 27: Eric Lauer #56 of the Toronto Blue Jays pitches against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the 15th inning in game three of the 2025 World Series at Dodger Stadium on October 27, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images) | Getty Images
After that Canada/Finland, I’m sure I’m five pounds lighter.
Tomorrow, we get our first real fake baseball game of the year. The Jays are playing the Philles in Dunedin. It is a 1:00 pm start time and it will be on Sportsnet 1. Eric Lauer is listed to start the game.
And speaking of Lauer, he told Gregor Chisholm that, he felt, the Jays told him he would be in the starting rotation this season. But, after adding, Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce, there might not be a spot for him.
“It is a little frustrating,” Lauer admitted during an interview with the Star this week. “I mean, I was told last year some things, like, for certain would happen this year, and then we made some moves.
“We got some great guys, so I’m not mad about that, but I think I’m still in a position where I’m in a great spot to produce and all I have to do is go out there and do it.”
I do feel for him. He was terrific last year, and, generally, that would mean he would have a spot in the rotation. But the team does have to do what they think is best, they had the chance to improve the pitching staff. It would be wrong not to do it.
Having the extra arm is great for the team, but not so great for Eric. If he starts the season in the bullpen and stays there for a couple of months, it would be hard to see him switching back to the rotation. If he really wants to be a starter, I guess he could ask for a trade, though it might be hard to leave a team that made it to the World Series.
He is a free agent after the season. If he were to get 30 starts and pitch the way he had last year, he’d be looking at a big contract. If he is a long reliever, he would likely be looking at far less of a payday.
Beyond that there isn’t a lot for Jays’ News:
Kevin Gausman talked about the possibility of retiring after the season. I’m expecting that he’ll be good enough this year to get offers that he would have a hard time refusing.
Shane Bieber is further ahead than the Jays thought he would be. He’s throwing ‘120 feet’. There is no rush to get him onto the mound, but he might get there sooner than we figured.
Shi Davidi tells us that Ricky Tiedeman feels good, thinks he’s ready to contribute and that he threw two simulated innings yesterday.
Steve Borthwick needs a charge of electricity after the power cut in Scotland and team’s 21-year-old forward could fire up title challenge
The third weekend of the Six Nations used to be a time for contemplation and reflection. After the fury of the first two rounds, everything would stop for a much-needed fallow week in which to restore energy levels. And now? The battle-scarred gladiators are about to “go again”, putting their bodies on the line out on the pitch or, in the case of travelling supporters, in the pub.
Player welfare rules OK? That debate still rumbles on but certain other areas – fitness, mental resilience, squad depth – traditionally reserved for the tournament’s closing fortnight are increasingly front and centre. The rhythm of this year’s championship is subtly different, particularly for sides such as England with only two home fixtures. Slip up for a second successive Saturday and that’s it, folks, until November in terms of high-profile Twickenham opportunities.
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 19: Kristaps Porzingis #7 of the Golden State Warriors dribbling the ball is guarded by Payton Pritchard #11 of the Boston Celtics in the second half of an NBA basketball game at Chase Center on February 19, 2026 in San Francisco, California.

Kristaps Porzingis made his Golden State Warriors debut Thursday night against the Boston Celtics. While the team’s newest big man showed some signs of rust after nearly a month away from game action, he said afterward that he’s feeling good despite being “far from perfect shape.”
Porzingis said he’s “far from being in perfect shape” but “feeling good” after his debut for Golden State.
“This is a good first step to keep building. … I think it’s just a matter of time to get in a better rhythm from this point on.”
Porzingis finished with 12 points in 17 minutes, shooting 5-of-9 from the field, along with one rebound, one assist, and one block. He also committed two turnovers — something head coach Steve Kerr said is to be expected as the 7-foot-2 center continues adjusting to the Warriors’ system.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr thought Kristaps Porzingis “looked good” in his team debut. Credited the Celtics for the way they performed.
“I felt like we were kind of slow to get moving. It was good to see the fight and rhythm we found late.”
For now, the numbers matter less for Porzingis — especially without Stephen Curry available. He settled in as the game went on, hitting deep threes and offering rim protection when the opportunity was there.
If that progression continues, Porzingis could quickly become a key piece for a team looking to find its footing and make a late push toward the postseason.
For more on this and other news around the NBA, here is our latest news round-up for Friday, February 20th:
It didn’t matter if it was off the dribble or from cuts, the Celtics’ offense made burnt toast out of the Warriors’ defense. It didn’t matter if it was the glass, the paint or trying to go body-on-body, Boston owned the trenches. The Warriors watched the Celtics assert themselves and didn’t have any answers.
In the first quarter, in which the Warriors only trailed by four points, the Celtics doubled them in rebounds (16 to eight) and scored 10 more points in the paint (18 to eight). By halftime, in which the Warriors now were facing a 23-point deficit, the Celtics had 24 rebounds to the Warriors’ 14 and doubled them in points in the paint, 32 to 16.
Could you have gotten more for Kuminga if you’d looked hard to trade him a year or two ago?
“I don’t think so,” Lacob said. “People say I loved him as a player, I was protecting him, I was whatever. That’s just not true. I did like him. I like all our players. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be acquiring them if we didn’t all like them. But you know, it just didn’t work. It looked like it was going to work. It was off and on a lot.”
Sources with knowledge of Thursday’s meeting as well as a late January competition committee meeting told ESPN that these concepts have been discussed to curb tanking:
First-round draft picks can be protected only for top-four or top-14-plus selections
Lottery odds freeze at the trade deadline or a later date
No longer allowing a team to pick in the top four in consecutive years and/or after consecutive bottom-three finishes
Teams can’t pick in the top four the year after making the conference finals
Richard had a huge sequence in the first quarter. After Boston had pushed the lead to 10 points, Richard drained threes on both ends of the two-for-one to end the frame, getting the Dubs right back into it. The team couldn’t maintain that performance, but Richard did. He was one of their biggest offensive weapons, and his defense was swarming. I’m looking forward to seeing how he finishes out his highly successful rookie campaign.

A post to end the week:
Jimmy Butler has shared the following statement with me and other @warriors season ticket holders:
“Dear Warriors Season Ticket Family,
I have played in front of many incredible crowds over my 15 seasons in the NBA, but there was always something about playing in the Bay Area…

I don’t have anything especially profound to share with you other than one new fact. We’ll have live game discussion threads for all of the St. Louis Cardinals regular season games obviously, but also now for all of the Spring Training games.
In a normal world, there wouldn’t be a lot to talk about during Spring Training, but the St. Louis Cardinals are in a pivotal year where there should be plenty to discuss. How does JJ Wetherholt look so far? Do Jordan Walker’s swing decisions look any better? We’ll have so many opportunities to overanalyze and overreact to everything and anything the St. Louis Cardinals do until they break camp for the regular season.
First Spring Training game is Saturday, February 21 at 12:05pm central time as the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Washington Nationals. I plan to be here and I invite you to the Spring Training baseball discussion party, too.

And so, it begins! The first time our D-backs have taken the field since September 28, and we now begin the slow march towards Opening Day, in slightly less than five weeks. You may be looking at the line-up above, and be going “Who?” with regard to our first starting pitcher of the season, Thomas Hatch. Well, unless you did the smart thing, and have been reading our series on non-roster invitees, anyway. 🙂 But to save you a click, he seems very much like a depth piece, with underwhelming numbers, and the peripherals don’t exactly stand out at great either. Still, someone has to throw these innings.
After Hatch, we should expect to see some or all of these over the rest of the game: RHP Andrew Hoffmann, LHP Philip Abner, RHP Isaiah Campbell, RHP John Curtiss, RHP Taylor Rashi and RHP Bryce Jarvis.
Otherwise, and with the obvious exception of right field, this looks – at least for the first couple of innings – quite close to what might be our Opening Day line-up. But plenty of time for things to change, between now and then. The good news. Today’s game will be a free broadcast through dbacks.tv. You just need to register with an email address. The bad news? It’s the Rockies broadcast, so you should probably expect only tangential mention of the Diamondbacks. Still, it’s baseball, and you can watch it. Beats working, certainly.
The team said Friday that López's surgery will be performed next week in Texas by Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister. López turns 30 early next month.
It will be the second Tommy John surgery for López. He had the procedure as a minor leaguer with the Seattle organization and missed the 2014 season.
López ended a bullpen session early during the Twins' first full-squad workout Monday. First-year manager Derek Shelton said he was hopeful the move was precautionary, but a day later general manager Jeremy Zoll told reporters of the UCL tear.
López was the Twins' opening-day for the past three years and was planning to pitch for Venezuela in next month's World Baseball Classic.
López made his major league debut with the Miami Marlins in 2018 and spent five seasons with them, then was traded to the Twins.
He made the All-Star team in his first year with Minnesota and helped the franchise end a record 18-game postseason losing streak for North American professional sports, going 2-0 with an 0.71 ERA in two starts in the 2023 playoffs.
López is making $21.75 million this season and is signed through next year.
A shoulder injury limited him to 14 starts last season after he made 32 in each of three consecutive 10-win seasons, the first in his final season with the Marlins. López was 5-4 with a 2.74 ERA in 2025 and is 59-53 with a 3.81 ERA for his career.
Australia’s woeful T20 World Cup campaign lasted less than a fortnight, with the 2021 champions eliminated during the group stage of the tournament for the first time since 2009.

The Cleveland Cavaliers announced that they have signed Darius Brown II to a two-way contract. In a corresponding move, the Cavs waived forward Emanuel Miller, whom they acquired just a few weeks ago in the three-way deal with the Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings.
Brown, who went undrafted out of Utah State in 2024, has put together a quality season for the Charge to the tune of 12.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 9.7 assists, and 2.2 steals per game. On January 9th, Brown dished out a franchise-record 22 assists against the Texas Legends, narrowly missing the NBA G League record of 23 assists in a single game. Brown is averaging the third-most assists per game in the G League and is shooting 40% from three-point territory.
The Cavs have been doing plenty of shifting around with their bench players and G League two-way deals. The team opened up a roster spot with the salary-dump of Lonzo Ball to eventually sign Charge teammate Nae’Qwan Tomlin to a standard NBA deal. Luke Travers was also waived during the heat of the NBA trade deadline, further opening a spot that has now been filled by Brown. Charge forward Tristan Enaruna and guard Riley Minix have also received two-way deals from the Cavs to round out the available slots.
There are several instances across the league of two-way players not only finding minutes at the NBA level, but carving out meaningful roles. Tomlin is one of the brighter examples in the league, but Pat Spencer (Golden State), Daniss Jenkins (Detroit), and Dom Barlow (Philadelphia) are just a few others that have found great success through the G League track. Once seen as an afterthought, is now looked at as a meaningful pathway to the NBA.
One upshot of the Mariners’ deep playoff run in 2025 is that fans have been gifted with the shortest offseason in Mariners history. It’s been exactly four months since Game 7 of the ALCS. Those four months have contained multitudes: a rollercoaster of emotions, the stages of grief, one of the most exciting free agent signings of the last decade in Josh Naylor, and somehow the same offseason discourse that we have every year.
All of that has led us here.
It’s not quite an Opening Day lineup. Julio isn’t playing the field. Luke Raley is leading off. Michael Arroyo and Colt Emerson are getting some run, which means Cole Young and Brendan Donovan will wait to make their Spring Training debuts. Dane Dunning is neat, but hopefully won’t be a significant part of the 2026 Mariner rotation.
But it doesn’t particularly matter who’s in the lineup. It’s baseball. It’s televised baseball. The frigid weather in Seattle tells us it’s still winter, but the sunny warmth of Peoria we can see through the screen gives us a preview of what’s to come.
Oh yeah, and the Padres play too.
It’ll be all Dane Dunning can do to keep Padres legends Nick Castellanos and Ty France under control, lest this game get out of hand.

If you’ve never commented before, a game thread is a great place to get your feet wet because the energy tends to move quickly. Think of the game thread like you’re watching a game with friends (or a friend of a friend, if you’re new here) – sort of a virtual living room or neighborhood bar – and treat it with the same respect you’d give the time and talents of real-life people (including your overworked and underpaid bartenders, aka the mods and staff). Even if you’re not ready to jump into the conversation yet, signing up for an account and signing in gives you a better experience on the site and is recommended, and as a bonus helps us out as a site as well.

Even if there are some of you out there who, for whatever twisted reasons, root for the White Sox to lose, on one thing we should be able to agree: Beat the Cubs, always.
That includes a Cactus League opener on the road, with roughly three players likely to be in the White Sox lineup on Opening Day:
Jonathan Cannon, possibly THE mystery man at Camelback Ranch with regard to outcomes (heck, anywhere from Opening Day starter if he kills in Arizona to outright released if he picks up where he left off in 2025), gets the nod to start. As Malachi Hayes surmised earlier today, Cannon is on the outside looking in to the 2026 rotation — but the competition is open.
And there are a number of bubble players in the lineup as well, who figure to see a lot of game action as the White Sox bench gets sorted out: Curtis Mead at third base, Derek Hill in center, Korey Lee DHing, Tristan Peters in right and Tanner Murray playing shortstop.
No White Sox TV broadcast today, but you can catch the radio call at WMVP-AM 1000. First pitch is at 2:05 p.m. CT.

We’re officially one night’s sleep away from getting the Grapefruit League underway for the Atlanta Braves. With that being said, the team sure took their time before letting everybody know who’d be playing and most importantly, who’d be starting on the mound over in Port Charlotte against the Tampa Bay Rays.
As it turns out, ol’ Cookie Carrasco will be getting the ball to start the first game of spring training for the Braves. Atlanta Braves beat writer for MLB.com Mark Bowman also reported that Mike Yastrzemski, Jonah Heim, Eli White and Jorge Mateo will be playing as well.
Mike Yastrzemski, Jorge Mateo, Eli White and Jonah Heim will be the veterans in the Braves' lineup for tomorrow's Grapefruit League season opener against the Rays. Carlos Carrasco will get the start. John Gil will come off the bench.
As you would imagine since this is a spring training road game in February, we aren’t going to see too many big names in action away from CoolToday Park in North Port. Instead we’re going to see a very young squad with the aforementioned veterans peppered in there, alongside Carlos Carrasco making the start. Carrasco figures to be a very long shot to make the rotation for Opening Day but he’ll be getting the opportunity to hopefully make a good impression in his spring debut.
Bowman also mentioned that John Gil will play, albeit coming off of the bench. There’s a lot of excitement surrounding John Gil lately, as he is entering 2026 following a very good 2025 campaign and has already been garnering a lot of positive attention during spring training so far. It sure seems like he’ll be one of the main prospects to keep an eye on as the spring training progresses and he’ll certainly be one to keep an eye on during tomorrow’s contest.
Braves shortstop prospect John Gil has been turning heads this spring
So while we won’t see a lot of the familiar faces that we’ve grown used to over the years with this current era of the Atlanta Braves, we’re still very, very close to seeing the Atlanta Braves in action once again. Happy days are here again.
The Dallas Mavericks (19-35) will try to end their nine-game losing streak as they play the Minnesota Timberwolves (34-22) at Target Center.
After a long and Mavs-less All-Star break, Dallas returns to action against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, while the Mavericks are back, they will still be without rookie Cooper Flagg, who remains out with a foot injury that forced him to drop out of the Rising Stars game.
For Minnesota, it will mark the start of a second half of the season that will see Anthony Edwards try to help the Wolves claw their way higher in a tightly packed Western Conference. They are currently sitting in sixth place, just a half-game back of the Houston Rockets and home-court advantage in the playoffs.
The Gobert factor
For a Mavericks team that has struggled with three-point shooting during their losing streak — connecting on just 9.3 threes per game over the last nine contests and shooting a league-worst 34.2% from deep — Gobert’s rim protection presents a significant challenge. Dallas will need to find ways to draw Gobert away from the basket, whether through pick-and-pop actions with P.J. Washington or by attacking in transition before the defense can set. If Gobert is allowed to camp in the paint, the Mavericks’ already limited offensive options become even more constrained.
Gobert, a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, is averaging 11.1 rebounds per game (fourth in the NBA) and shooting an incredible 70.3% from the field, leading the league in field goal percentage.
Losing like it’s 1997
Dallas’ nine-game losing streak is its longest since the 1997-98 season, when they lost 10 straight. That’s a nearly 29-year-old mark, should they hit it. The 90s were not a nice time to be a Dallas fan, so to match a record from those dog days would be a stark indication of Dallas’ season trajectory.
The Mavericks’ nine-game losing streak has been characterized by poor shooting, defensive breakdowns, and an inability to close out competitive games. During the skid, Dallas has been outscored by an average of 12.4 points per game, with their only truly competitive performance coming in the 120-111 loss to Phoenix, where they cut a 31-point deficit to just six late in the fourth quarter.
The absence of Cooper Flagg has been particularly damaging. The rookie was averaging 20.4 points and 6.4 rebounds before suffering a foot injury, and his two-way presence gave Dallas a fighting chance in games against superior opponents. Without him, the Mavericks have relied heavily on Naji Marshall (averaging 16.8 points during the streak) and P.J. Washington to carry the offensive load.
Grievous injury
The idea of seeing Cooper Flagg play with Kyrie Irving has been something nearly every Dallas fan has been waiting to see. Even with the postseason out of reach and the Mavericks’ sights set firmly on ping-pong balls, basketball is still about entertainment, afterall. There’s little denying that watching Flagg play with a guard of Irving’s skillset has the chance to produce some pretty eye-popping highlights, even in a season where Kyrie would have been mostly shakingoff the rust from his ACL injury.
While having Cooper develop his game as a ball handler and offensive initiator, we’ve seen the results when he’s paired with even a replacement-level NBA guard. It speaks volumes that even just playing alongside an undrafted rookie in Ryan Nembhard, Flagg’s production noticeably improves. That’s no shade on Nembhard, he’s a great find and a promising player, but he’s not going to be opening the floor in the same way Kyrie Irving will when those two finally get on the floor together.
Jamerson II was called for a Flagrant 1 late in the second half of UCLA's blowout loss on Feb. 17. It wasn't a foul that resulted in an automatic ejection — Cronin ejected Jamerson himself.
Cronin said Jamerson II made a "dirty play" in his apology on Feb. 20, but acknowledged he went too far with how he handled the situation.
"I apologized to Steve," Cronin told reporters. "I thought he took the guy out like the kid at Providence took out the guy from St. John's out. It's the only reason I sent him to the locker room. I thought he literally made a dirty play and tried to wipe the guy out.
"Once I saw the film, I mean, he still got a (Flagrant 1). But to be honest with you, I don't know if he deserved that. ... I was wrong. I apologized to him."
Cronin later said he needs to dial back some of his antics. He also had a heated exchange with a reporter after UCLA's loss to Michigan State, calling a question the worst he has ever been asked. Cronin later asked the same reporter if the reporter was raising his voice at him.
"I need to dial back some of my humor bends, and so for that I apologize," he said. "Sometimes I'm too candid, like for example talking about how bad our flight was after the NCAA Tournament. ... In this climate, you have to be careful about what you say. ... The brand matters here, the school matters. The last thing I want to bring is negative publicity to our school."
The 54-year-old coach is in his seventh season at UCLA and has the Bruins firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble in 2026. He has led the Bruins to a Final Four, two Sweet 16s and a Round of 32 appearance in 2024-25.
