• Preseason Prep - March 21, 2026
Troubles in Toronto Trey Yesavage, with a shoulder impingement, is expected to be out until at least Apr 14.

• Preseason Prep - March 17, 2026
Drake Baldwin (C-ATL) should see plenty of playing time in 2025 and will likely continue to occupy the DH even when Sean Murphy starts behind the plate. Why?

For comparison, he batted .26...2026Visit the page Drake Baldwin injury update
