Medina, who saw time with the Phillies and Mets from 2020-22, had a 5.03 ERA in 34 innings out of Tacoma’s pen this season.

Edwin Díaz finished things off in the ninth, striking out three of the four batters he faced. Puerto Rico got all of its runs in the fifth, with a Gio Urshela error providing an assist. The game featured just one extra-bae hit, a double from Willi Castro that made it 4-0 in the fifth. Puerto Rico actually didn’t have a hit aside from that inning.

Everything went south after Quintana’s outing, as Puerto Rico scored all of its runs in the fifth. Quintana had made just one appearance this spring after signing in mid-February, but he’s definitely on track to be ready to open up in Colorado’s rotation. His velocity today was up about one mph from last year.

Grisham got the Yankees on the board first with a two-run single off of Joe Boyle in the second inning. That would prove to be all of the run support that Cam Schlittler and company would require in this one. Grisham went down on strikes in each of his other two plate appearances in the ballgame. For the spring, he’s hitting a paltry .118 (2-for-17) with a 6/2 K/BB ratio in the early going.

The 25-year-old right-hander struck out four batters on the night. Schlittler got himself into a jam in the opening inning, issuing a one-out walk and a pair of singles to load the bases with two outs, but he was able to get Hunter Feduccia to bounce into a fielder’s choice to quell the threat. From there, it was smooth sailing. He saw a significant spike in his velocity in this one, with his fastball sitting at 98.7 mph (+0.7 mph) and his cutter checking in at 94.9 mph (+3.0 mph). He sure looked to be over the back issues that plagued him early in spring camp.

Seymour came on for Joe Boyle to start the fourth inning and all he did was retire all 10 hitters that he faced in order — including strikeouts of Max Schuemann, Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, Paul DeJong and George Lombard Jr. It’s going to take at least one injury to open up a spot in the Rays’ rotation for Seymour, but he’ll be a very intriguing option for fantasy purposes if/when he does get that chance.

The 26-year-old hurler allowed two runs on four hits and a pair of walks in the contest. All of the damage done against him came in the second inning as Trent Grisham smacked a two-run single. Boyle piled up 13 swings and misses on 68 pitches in the ballgame — eight of them on his fastball which averaged 97.9 mph (-0.6 mph) — while posting a CSW of 29 percent. Boyle still appears to be on the outside looking in for a spot in the Rays’ Opening Day rotation but he holds significant strikeout upside once he does get that opportunity.

The 29-year-old outfielder smacked a two-out double off of Liam Hendriks in the third inning, but the Braves were unable to cash him in from there. He then capped off a four-run uprising in the fourth inning with an RBI double that plated Aaron Schunk. Azocar is off to a solid start in his quest to earn a bench spot on the Braves’ Opening Day roster, hitting .389 (7-for-18) with one RBI.

The 32-year-old hurler racked up three strikeouts on the night while issuing a pair of walks. The lone tally against him came in the opening inning as Josh Bell worked a two out walk then Trevor Larnach and Ryan Jeffers followed with singles to move him around and in. Lopez finished his day with three straight scoreless frames. For the spring, he now holds a 1.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and an 8/4 K/BB ratio over nine innings in his first three starts.

Bell worked a two-out walk off of Reynaldo Lopez in the opening inning then scored the game’s first run on an RBI single by Ryan Jeffers. He also singled in ballgame. The 33-year-old slugger is off to a nice start this spring, hitting .333 (6-for-18), though he’s still in search of his first home run. Look for Bell to hit in the middle of the Twins’ lineup in 2026, which should lead to ample RBI opportunities at a bargain basement price in fantasy drafts.

The Twins rallied with two outs in the opening inning as Josh Bell worked a two out walk and Trevor Larnach followed with a single. Jeffers then strolled to the dish and poked an RBI single into left to give the Twins an early 1-0 lead. That would be the extent of their offense. Jeffers is off to a very slow start on the spring, hitting just .150 (3-for-20) with a pair of RBI and a 5/1 K/BB ratio.
