In addition to the homer, Senzel also drew a pair of walks. The 30-year-old is off to a nice start to the spring in his attempt to win a utlity spot with the Dodgers in 2026. A former top prospect, Senzel is just roster fodder, but his versatility gives him a chance for helping the Dodgers if he does win that job.

Knizner bolsters Colorado’s catching depth behind starter Hunter Goodman and caddy Brett Sullivan. The 31-year-old backstop was in camp with the Mariners this spring and wound up losing the backup job to veteran Mitch Garver.

Correa mustered just 13 homers last season and hasn’t finished with 20 since 2022, but he hit a big one today to break a 2-2 tie in the fifth. He’s off to an 8-for-27 start while splitting time between short and third with Jeremy Peña limited.

Burrows threw first-pitch strikes to 17 of 24 batters today and wound up generating 14 whiffs on 41 swings. The Angels got to him pretty good his first time out last week, but he tweaked things today by throwing 22 curves and only four sliders. In his first start, it was the complete opposite; he threw 28 sliders and seven curves while giving up five runs. Burrows will make his next start in Colorado versus the Rockies. Since Coors Field usually isn’t a big factor in April, he rates as a decent play in that one.

Pitching with a three-run lead, Abreu gave up the solo shot to start the inning but then struck out the remaining three batters he faced. His fastball was back up to 96.1 mph on average today, which is up 1.6 mph better than first two outings but still down 1.4 mph from last year. It’s a good sign, nevertheless.

Crochet mostly just had trouble with Yordan Alvarez initially, but a three-run homer from Carlos Correa in the fifth ruined his solid outing, leaving him 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA after two turns. He’ll face the Brewers next time out.

Abreu has been the one player immune to Boston’s early offensive slump. He has 10 hits, twice as many as anyone else on the team, and his three homers are as many as the rest of the club has combined. He won’t be sitting against lefties anytime soon.

Haase winds up back with San Francisco as emergency catching depth after losing the backup catching role to Rule 5 pick Daniel Susac in spring training. The well-traveled 33-year-old veteran will remain on the doorstep of the majors in the event that injuries strike.

Roberts added that Justin Wrobleski will temporarily move into the rotation to build in some extra rest for everyone else. Ohtani simultaneously holds the longest active scoreless pitching streak (22 2/3 innings) and the longest active on-base streak (36 games) in baseball right now. The 31-year-old two-way superstar tossed six shutout innings on Tuesday against the Guardians while also reaching base safely three times. He’ll get a couple extra days of rest before taking the ball to close out a three-game rematch of last year’s thrilling Fall Classic.

This was a good old fashioned pitchers duel with the teams knotted at zero entering the sixth innings and then going into extras tied 1-1. It took a bloop single from Winn with two outs and a runner on third in the 11th innings to finally put it to bed. That was only Winn’s first run batted in of the season hitting out of his new home in the clean-up spot. It feels like the power may never come for him but he’ll certainly have plenty more run scoring opportunities in front of him this season should he stick there in the order.

Liberatore took a no-hitter into the fifth inning before Mark Vientos laced a two-out double down the line. He put out that fire, but allowed Juan Soto to break the 0-0 tie the following inning with a solo home run. Still, Liberatore mixed his deep repertoire well to keep the Mets’ talented lineup off-balance all afternoon. He’s scheduled to face the Nationals next time out.
