The Dodgers continued their undefeated streak in Cactus League play on Thursday, earning a narrow 7-6 victory over the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch. Tyler Glasnow made his first start of spring training and struck out four batters while recording six straight outs. He came out for the first batter of the third inning […]
Max Scherzer returns for a 19th season. The three-time Cy Young Award winner has agreed to a deal to return to the Blue Jays, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed. The deal is for one year and $3 million, according to multiple reports. Scherzer, 41, told The Athletic in January that he was “healthy and could […]
HARBOR ST. LUCIE – There was no panic yet in Clover Park, but if Carson Benge knew these parts, there would have been some red flags if Carson Benge had had too many hitless games. Benge allayed any early concerns with a three-hit day in Wednesday’s 6-0 loss to the Cardinals, reaching base on an […]
TAMPA – The worst thing that ever happened to Jasson Domínguez is being nicknamed “The Martian.” The best could turn out to be teammates with Amed Rosario.

The Yankees were both aggressive and mostly accurate with their challenges during an 8-7 victory over the Blue […]
DUNEDIN, Fla. – Clarke Schmidt has been where Will Warren is now. Just two years ago, Schmidt was the right-hander coming off a season in which he made more than 30 starts and established himself in the major leagues, even if he had some problems along the way. Confidence was never an issue, but the […]
BRADENTON, Fla. – Jasson Domínguez got his first two at-bats of the spring against a southpaw Monday. And while the right side outfielder still has more work to do to become a more viable switch-hitter, getting reps against lefties is the most important thing for Domínguez at this point in the calendar. “I think it’s […]
DUNEDIN, Fla. – Tobias Myers gave the Mets reason to be hopeful about the right-hander Monday as he was impressive in his first appearance with the team. Since being acquired from Milwaukee in the offseason, the Mets made sure Myers wasn’t just a throw-in with starter Freddy Peralta. They wanted someone to replace Brandon Sproat, […]
