"Cardinals Spring Training Update: Nootbaar's Injury and Outfield Plans"

St. Louis Cardinals are facing concerns over injuries to key players like Sonny Gray, Tommy Edman, and Lars Nootbaar as they approach the 2024 season. Despite Gray's mild hamstring strain, the team is not planning to sign another starting pitcher and will likely rely on Zack Thompson or Matthew Liberatore to fill in. Victor Scott II may start the season at Triple-A Memphis, and the Cardinals are cautious about long-term deals with young talent. The bullpen competition is heating up, with Riley O'Brien and Ryan Fernandez impressing as potential additions.

"Brewers Secure Injured Ace Woodruff on Discounted Two-Year Deal"

The St. Louis Cardinals have missed an opportunity to acquire ace pitcher Brandon Woodruff at a discounted price, as the team has been inactive in the starting pitching market despite retooling the rotation with veteran starters. Woodruff, who was non-tendered by the Milwaukee Brewers and is expected to miss the 2024 season due to shoulder surgery, could have been a valuable investment for the future, especially alongside Sonny Gray. The Cardinals' lack of involvement in securing top-tier pitching may have future repercussions.

Yankees' Rotation Updates: Brito Impresses, Severino Injured Again, and Game 2 Starter Named.

Jhony Brito impressed in his audition for the Yankees' fifth starter spot, retiring all 16 batters he faced across 5 ¹/₃ perfect innings against the Blue Jays. With Luis Severino likely headed for the injured list, Brito is now a candidate to start the third game of the regular season Sunday against the Giants at Yankee Stadium. The 25-year-old right-hander flashed a fastball that sat around 95-97 mph and a strong changeup that he used to record all three strikeouts, pitching with a poise that stood out to manager Aaron Boone.
