Major League Baseball has announced the reporting dates for 2026 spring training, with pitchers and catchers due in Arizona and Florida as early as February 10. The earlier schedule accommodates preparations for the World Baseball Classic, following a tight window for all 30 teams. Full squads will join shortly after, leading to Opening Day on March 26.
Travis Bazzana belted two home runs, including a grand slam, during the Cleveland Guardians' 10-7 Cactus League loss to the San Francisco Giants at Scottsdale Stadium. Jace LaViolette added a solo homer in his third spring at-bat. Both prospects impressed despite limited big-league camp time.

The Milwaukee Brewers optioned outfielder Blake Perkins to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, finalizing their position-player group for Opening Day. This move opens a spot for outfielder Brandon Lockridge, who impressed in spring training. Manager Pat Murphy described the decision as difficult but necessary.
