Cubs starter Ben Brown went 4 1/3 innings and struck out four while scattering six hits and two runs. Samuel Armstrong (1-0) fanned six with just one hit in four scoreless innings. Bryan De La Cruz hit a two-run homer to supply Atlanta's runs. Shay Schanaman (0-1) gave up the go-ahead homer to McGeary. Twins 5,

Jorge Lopez (P - WSH)
3/25/25 4:20 PM - Rising Orioles Star Pitcher Has Chance To Make Major Statement in Home Opener. There's a chance he might never reach the heights in his career where he is anchoring the rotation of a top-tier World Series contender like this group should be for the next decade. Taken in the third round of the 2021 draft by the Minnesota Twins, Povich was acquired by the Orioles in a trade deadline deal that sent Jorge Lopez out of town. Since that point, the young left-hander hadn't necessarily blown anyone away in the minors with ERA numbers never getting below a 3.00, but he was a player viewed as having enough upside to earn the No. 13 ranking in this loaded farm system in 2023 and No. 9 in 2024. After beginning last year at Triple-A and still looking like he needed a bit more experience on the farm, injuries to Baltimore's pitching staff forced him into action.

As the Dodgers open defense of their first full-season championship since 1988 in earnest with their home opener Thursday, they don't have to worry about that. “I would say hardly anything went right for us last year,” said Max Muncy, one of 29 Dodgers who spent time on the injured list during the 2024 season – one of 18 who missed at least 40 games. The Dodgers' front office did what they could to avoid that, assembling the deepest roster in baseball with starting pitching options that go 10 deep, a bullpen that includes four relievers with 20-save seasons on their résumé and a lineup that will feature seven former All-Stars on most nights.

When Manny Machado stepped into the batter's box at the Peoria Sports Complex to begin his 2025 spring campaign, he wasted no time. The Padres' third baseman crushed the first pitch he saw, sending it flying 428 feet over the center-field wall. Any baseball fan will tell you the way a player performs in Spring Training is not indicative of how they will perform during the regular season, and that Spring Training stats and records are meaningless. As true as that might be, it is easy to understand why fans watching Machado hammer the first pitch hurled at him this year over the wall to dead center would be excited for what is to come.

Luisangel Acuna (SS - NYM)
3/25/25 6:46 AM - New York Mets Prospect Could Be a 25-30 Home Run Hitter, According to Baseball America.

Kyle Schwarber (DH - PHI)
3/25/25 6:19 AM - Phillies predicted to poach Cubs' 3-time All-Star with mammoth $604 million contract. The Philadelphia Phillies are the ultimate win-now team in Major League Baseball. After three straight years of playoff appearances, the Phillies are only getting older. As of this moment, stars Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto are scheduled to hit free agency at the end of the year, so 2025 could be the last run for this exact core group. The Phillies enter the season as one of just three teams with a payroll of $300 million-plus (Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees).

Clay Holmes (P - NYM)
3/25/25 6:00 AM - Clay Gregory==It's the Final Countdown. Spring training will be over today, and the wins and losses will start counting on Thursday against the Astros. There's tons to be excited about in this year's edition of the Mets. Sure, injuries affect the pitching staff, but Clay Holmes has shown during this spring training that going from relief to starting pitcher will not affect him. Getting the opening day nod is pretty special for him, and against an Astros lineup that is different but still powerful, he will get to showcase his skills and hopefully get the Amazins their first win of the year.

3/25/25 5:48 AM - Next Man Up: Can Cincinnati Reds Withstand Early Season Injuries?.

Robbie Ray (P - SF)
3/25/25 5:35 AM - Tigers' Tarik Skubal marvels at Robbie Ray throwing pitch he taught him. Robbie Ray should be expecting a text message from Tarik Skubal. Later that evening, Ray mostly mowed through the Tigers' lineup in a 6-4 exhibition win — while wielding Skubal's own weapon. The two left-handers share more than similar arm slots and company in the exclusive club of Cy Young winners. The changeup Ray added to his arsenal this spring is a product of a text message the 33-year-old veteran sent to the Hayward native this offseason.
