St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that right-hander Jack Flaherty's Grapefruit League debut will come this Sunday instead of Saturday due to "lower-half discomfort."

In his 36 innings, he had a 4.25 ERA (4.97 FIP), 1.61 WHIP and career-low 19.8 percent strikeout ...

Fantasy teams are trying to make sure that one or two injuries do not ruin what could be an otherwise successful fantasy season. Knowing when injured players...
