MIAMI -- The Washington Nationals placed shortstop CJ Abrams on the 10-day injured list on Saturday because of a right hip flexor strain. Abrams first experienced discomfort during the Nationals' home series against Arizona last week and it then flared up again on Friday, when Washington opened a road series in Miami. He was removed after the third inning and underwent an imaging test Saturday that confirmed the strain.

After days of rumors -- and months of negotiating -- the Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a 14-year, $500 million deal with superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on Sunday night. The deal is the third largest in MLB history -- behind Shohei Ohtani's with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Juan Soto's with the New York Mets -- and, like Soto's, contains no deferred money.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Inside the batting cages at the Boston Red Sox's spring training complex, where the future of hitting is playing out in real time, the best trio of position prospects in a generation blossomed. Kristian Campbell, Roman Anthony and Marcelo Meyer have spent hundreds of hours in the building, rotating around its 10 tunnels, though their best work always seems to happen in Cage 4, right inside the main entrance.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Mid-February live batting practice sessions are usually forgettable, but the one held on the main field at Clover Park the day after Valentine's Day was different for the New York Mets. Kodai Senga, the presumed ace a year ago, faced four hitters. He threw 16 pitches, touched 96 mph and didn't appear compromised from the shoulder injury that kept him out for all but 5⅓ innings during the 2024 regular season.

TAMPA -- Nearly a year after suffering an elbow injury that pushed his season debut back to June, New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole said he is "in a really good spot" compared to recent years after starting his offseason throwing program earlier than in previous winters. The right-hander posted a 3.41 ERA in 17 regular season starts in 2024 before recording a 2.17 ERA in five postseason outings, including a seven-inning gem in Game 4 of the AL Division Series to close out the Kansas City Royals.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- About a year ago, soon after the New York Mets reported to spring training, presumed ace Kodai Senga was shut down indefinitely with a shoulder injury. On Tuesday, the right-hander said the shoulder trouble is behind him and he is healthy and ready to assume a full workload in 2025. "I'm not worried at all," Senga said through an interpreter at the Mets' spring training complex Tuesday.
