National League

East

• Braves: Adam Duvall signs a one-year, $3M deal to rejoin the Braves. He’ll platoon with Jarred Kelenic. Chris Sale is dealing this spring. Ronald Acuña Jr. returns to the lineup as a DH.
  

• Marlins: These two young pitchers could be the future of the rotation in Miami.
  

• Mets: Luis Severino struck out three batters and gave up one run over four innings on Wednesday.
  

• Nationals: Prospect Trey Lipscomb has been turning some heads in camp.

West

• Diamondbacks: PitchCom will be heavily used in Arizona, as the Dbacks plan to use it for almost everything. 🔊
