Chase DeLauter was a last minute scratch in yesterday’s Spring Training game against the Texas Rangers. All reports are saying the scratch was out of an abundance of caution when DeLauter reported lower body soreness following the heavy on-field activity to open camp. DeLauter was already not scheduled to play today.
Yesterday also saw Steven Kwan playing center field. Unfortunately the game was not televised or broadcasted anywhere so there is nothing to really report on his performance.
José is already looking to be in great form, having hit two home runs so far this Spring. He technically hit three, but the umps called on a ground rule double, proving they too need Spring Training to get warmed up.
Off the field, José continues to be as great as he is on the field. José teamed up with Franklin Sports to release his own line of limited edition batting gloves. In addition to releasing his own design, José is donating 75 pairs of batting gloves to the Cleveland RBI baseball and softball teams.
Around the League
The ABS challenge system is in full display at Spring Training. Multiple major league players are testing their eye by utilizing the system previously only reserved for the minor leagues. There has been some entertaining results, including Matt Olson challenging a Paul Skenes pitch that was originally ruled a strike and overturned to a ball.
LGFT CC Sabathia’s number will be retired by the New York Yankees this September.
