Latest news Anthony Volpe has been receiving support from “high-level voices” within the Yankees in his bid to make the Opening Day roster, per The Athletic. Rhys Hoskins was carted off the field Thursday, later diagnosed with a torn left ACL. Seeking a second opinion, but by all accounts his ACL is torn. Darik Hall is expected to see most of the playing time at first base for Philadelphia. James Outman makes the team and will play a fair amount for the Dodgers. (10:00) Hayden Wesneski has another stellar showing for the Cubs, striking out five over five innings against the Diamondbacks on Thursday. He did not allow an earned run (2.12 ERA, 22:6 K:BB in 17 spring innings). (12:50) Alex Cobb (knee) might miss the start of the season. Took a comebacker off his knee back on March 11. Jhoan Duran threw an inning in Thursday’s Grapefruit League game, returning from a sore leg, the result of a comebacker in a minor-league game. Yordan Alvarez (hand) hitless in his spring debut Thursday. NFBC Main Event: Clay's Team: https://twitter.com/claywlink/status/1639094100296122368 Joe Musgrove (toe) is my ace. He threw three innings in a simulated game Thursday. Went with the two ace relievers instead.
