During Spring Training, MLB.com beat writers surveyed their clubhouses, asking players for their opinions on a range of topics. Well over 100 players participated, in exchange for anonymity. In the leadup to Opening Day, MLB.com is publishing a series of stories based on the results of that survey. Today's topic:

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Yankees are dealing with another potential injury concern in their starting rotation, as right-hander Clarke Schmidt was scratched from a scheduled Grapefruit League start against the Blue Jays on Monday due to soreness in his pitching shoulder. Schmidt had initially been announced as the Yanks’ scheduled

Mookie Betts’ status for the Tokyo Series opener on Tuesday is in question as the Dodgers star continues to battle an illness. Betts, who did not play in the Dodgers’ two exhibition games over the weekend, experienced “some fatigue” in a workout on Sunday, according to manager Dave Roberts. His

If the Cubs are going to make some moves towards their first full-season division title since 2017, it’s not just going to be about new additions like Kyle Tucker, Ryan Pressly, Justin Turner and Matthew Boyd. It’s going to be about improvements from returning players, too. It’s going to be

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Twins third baseman Royce Lewis was removed from Sunday’s 6-5 loss against the Red Sox due to a left hamstring strain. He will be further evaluated, including receiving an MRI, on Monday. Leading off the bottom of the second inning, Lewis hit a hard grounder to

The story of baseball runs through the United States and Japan. It’s a ribbon threaded through the history of the sport and its greatest players, connecting the two nations for more than 150 years. Not even Nostradamus himself could have envisioned what would happen in the decades since schoolteacher Horace

NORTH PORT, Fla. -- Spencer Strider will pitch in a big league game for the first time in nearly a year when he starts against the Red Sox on Monday at CoolToday Park. Strider will be starting for the first time since an internal brace was inserted in his right

TOKYO -- Around the time that Roki Sasaki made his long-awaited decision to sign with the Dodgers, the city of Los Angeles was reeling from a period of grief and devastation. A string of wildfires ripped through the greater L.A. region in January, displacing tens of thousands and going down

LAKELAND, Fla. -- There’s been a lot of talk about Jackson Holliday's improved defense at second base and his ability to fill in at shortstop, if needed. His increased aggressiveness on the basepaths has drawn attention, as well as his desire to add bunting for hits to his skill set.

TOKYO -- Stepping foot inside the historic Tokyo Dome was a new experience for most of the Cubs’ players this weekend. That was not the case for Matt Shaw, who arrived at the famous ballpark already having witnessed the passionate fans who fill the place and spike the decibel level.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Two offseasons ago, Mets catching instructor Glenn Sherlock called Hayden Senger during the offseason, looking to chat. Senger picked up but told his longtime coach he’d need to call back. “Why?” Sherlock asked him. “I’m working,” Senger replied, before returning to the supermarket floor. For

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- For Chris Sale, Saturday’s return to JetBlue Park, where he spent seven Spring Trainings with the Red Sox, started with an homage to a late legend. As the lanky Braves lefty threw his first pitch in the bottom of the first to Jarren Duran, he did

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- In one week, the Red Sox will be in Monterrey, Mexico to absorb some culture and get in their final exhibition tuneups against the Sultanes. Before the team charter leaves the night of March 23, there are several key decisions to make for manager Alex Cora

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Pablo Sandoval and Justin Verlander share an inextricable World Series link, though it doesn’t sound like they plan on revisiting that history this spring. Sandoval, who is back in Giants camp as a guest instructor, famously hit two of his three home runs in Game 1 of

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Bryce Harper has homered enough in his life to know when he hits one. He barreled a few balls the past couple years at Citizens Bank Park that probably should have cleared the fence, but instead they hit the wall or died on the warning track.

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The first three batted balls against Jack Leiter on Sunday afternoon had exit velocities over 100 mph, including a fly out, a double and a triple. The next two -- a double and another fly out -- didn’t register on Statcast. Then, finally, Leiter fired a 99.8

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Gunnar Henderson hasn’t played in a Grapefruit League game since Feb. 27, when the Orioles’ star shortstop sustained a mild right intercostal strain. The 23-year-old has slowly returned to baseball activities over the past week. Does Henderson still believe he can be ready for Opening Day on

SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Phillies don’t have unlimited outfielders, so it was troubling on Sunday afternoon to see both left fielder Max Kepler and center fielder Brandon Marsh leave a Grapefruit League game at Ed Smith Stadium because of injuries.
