De Jong gave up nine runs -- eight earned -- in nine innings over his nearly six weeks with the Jays. The 28-year-old probably won’t get many more opportunities.

Martin struck out four and walked none while throwing just 39 pitches to get his 12 outs. A particularly bad spring might have cost Martin his spot in the White Sox rotation, but he’s been just fine in posting a 3.00 ERA in 12 innings.

Newcomb was facing backups of backups in the second half of the game, but fanning six of 15 batters is always pretty good. He was lucky not to get charged with the two runs, since Jarred Kelenic never touched the fly he misplayed in center that led to two runs. It was definitely on Kelenic, but it was the kind of play that’s usually ruled a hit.

The White Sox might have kept Lee as a third catcher anyway, but now he’s locked into making the team as Edgar Quero’s backup while Kyle Teel spends at least the beginning of April on the injured list with a hamstring strain. Lee, who is out of options, is 10-for-26 with two homers and three doubles this spring. Oddly enough, he’s also stolen four bases. He’s 6-for-9 stealing bases in 187 career major league games.

The 23-year-old infielder started a rally with a two-out single off of Kyle Harrison in the second inning and scored the game’s first run on Michael Stefanic’s RBI triple. White then delivered a bases-clearing double in the third inning that made it a 6-0 ballgame. He capped off the rout with a 395-foot (97.5 mph EV) grand slam off of Mark Manfredi in the ninth that put the game way out of reach. He’s having an outstanding spring, hitting .464 (13-for-28) with four homers and 13 RBI.

The A’s rallied with two outs in the second inning as Tommy White singled and Michael Stefanic followed with an RBI triple. Wallach then strolled to the dish and ambushed a first-pitch fastball from Kyle Harrison for a 406-foot (103.3 mph EV) two-run shot that increased the A’s advantage to 3-0. That would be his only hit in three at-bats on the day. For the spring, the 34-year-old backstop is hitting .105 (2-for-19) with just the one home run and two RBI.

The 29-year-old right-hander finally looked sharp in this one, getting Andrew Vaughn on a fly ball to center, Garrett Mitchell on a swinging third strike and Luis Rengifo on a ground ball to short. Sterner got three whiffs on 11 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 36 percent. His fastball velocity was in line with what we saw during the 2025 season at 93.1 mph (-0.4 mph). He remains a candidate to open the season in the closer’s role for the A’s, though he’ll probably need to replicate Friday’s outing at least a few more times in order to do so.

Vaughn led off the second inning with a single but was doubled off of first on a line drive. He then smacked a run-scoring double off of Brooks Kriske in the sixth inning that trimmed the Brewers’ deficit to five runs at 7-2. The 27-year-old slugger has picked up this spring right where he left off during his strong second half with the Brewers in 2025, hitting .400 (12-for-30) with a pair of long balls and six RBI.

The 24-year-old southpaw punched out four batters on the day while allowing one base on balls. Harrison navigated a scoreless first inning and recorded the first two outs of the second before surrendering three straight hits — culminating in a two-run blast by Chad Wallach. He then gave up four hits and a walk during a three-run rally in the third inning. Harrison got nine whiffs on 66 pitches on the afternoon, registering a CSW of 27 percent. The door is open for him to seize a spot in the Brewers’ rotation, but Harrison has stumbled to a 9.00 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 7 innings on the spring despite a strong 12/3 K/BB ratio.

Long after the starters were gone, the Yankees nearly pulled off a big comeback, scoring five times off Ian Mejia in the top of the ninth. Fuentes, who made his major league debut one week after his 20th birthday last June, worked at 96-99 mph and threw 30 of his 42 pitches for strikes today. There’s little chance of the Braves making him their fifth starter, but he has a chance of being a factor this summer

Two poor outings in a row have left Weathers with an 8.68 ERA this spring. Still, he did have a 37% CSW today, and he allowed two fewer hard-hit balls than hits. His velocity remains great — he hit 100.0 on the gun today — but, of course, if it was all about stuff, the Marlins wouldn’t have given him up for a package headed by the Yankees’ 15th-best prospect.
