Shawn McFarland @McFarland_Shawn Mar 28, 2024: 

Max Scherzer threw a bullpen on Tuesday. He said his arm is feeling good, described this period as “early February” for him if he didn’t have the rehab. 

Said there’s still hurdles to jump through, but said he respects the process of the rehab he’s going through


Jeff Passan  @JeffPassan  Mar 28, 2024: 

News: Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco has been placed on administrative leave through June 1 per an agreement between MLB and the MLBPA, a source tells ESPN. Franco's status could change before then depending on proceedings in the criminal case in the Dominican Republic. 

Franco spent the final six weeks of last season on paid administrative leave, and with the allegations of a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old still legally unresolved, the league and union agreed to two more months of admin leave. 

 

Matt Gelb  @MattGelb Mar 28, 2024: 

Phillies used a "right forearm strain" designation to put Orion Kerkering on the IL. Rob Thomson said nothing has changed; Kerkering was up to 98 in a minors game yesterday. Expected to return April 9. Will pitch at AAA this weekend.

Baseball is hard. Predicting it is even harder. 

Leading up to Opening Day, we asked our writers for their bold predictions, and they came through. 

One bold guess for each MLB team's season

Well this is an interesting development. The first 2 times I saw Duke LHP Jonathan Santucci this year, he threw his changeup 1 time combined. He threw 7 changeups in a 1-2-3 first vs UVa tonight, throwing it with conviction and action at 89-91 - used it as out pitch on 2 Ks

Braden Montgomery smashes his 13th home run, bringing his line to .370/.509/.880 on the season

 

MLB Pipeline  @MLBPipeline Mar 28, 2024:

LSU's Tommy White slugs his eighth home run of the season; this one off Arkansas' Hagen Smith, one the top pitchers available in the Draft.

Power is the calling card for 2024's No. 7 Draft prospect: 

 

JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 Mar 28, 2024: 

The pace of play in baseball nowadays is so much better than it was a few years ago. I'm not talking about time of game. I'm talking about the pace of the game improvements.

New York Mets – Bryce Rainer, SS/RHP, Harvard-Westlake HS (CA) 

Bryce Rainer is a top 15 talent and would have easily been in the range the Mets would have selected had they not been dropped ten spots in the draft due to luxury tax penalties. I don’t know where Rainer ultimately ends up (SS or RHP), but he’s a talented player that fits in the middle of the first round. In this scenario, the Mets “buy him down” to their selection.

  1. Sure would like to know the story on Reimer. Very disappointing to see him on the 60 day IL.

  5. So, the guy on the Phillies threw 98 yesterday and today is on the IL, after a rain out…. Ok. And they suspended Billy Eppler.
