Snell told reporters afterwards that he’ll require at least another bullpen session and simulated game before he’s potentially ready to return from the injured list. The 32-year-old southpaw is making steady progress in his recovery from shoulder inflammation and figures to rejoin the Dodgers’ rotation in early May.

Carr is reportedly “already making other professional plans.” Whatever those entail, they apparently do not involve using retirement as a quick dodge off the Saints roster. We’ll probably get rumors for another year or two about Carr, who would have been playing his age-34 season had he not retired suddenly on Saturday. But there’s no reason to expect him to return to the field at this point.

It’ll probably be just a spot start for Henderson, though the Brewers do have the option on keeping him around in Quinn Priester’s spot. First, they’ll see how Priester performs tonight. Henderson allowed one run over six innings and struck out nine in his first big-league start Apr. 20 against the A’s.

García figures to miss the next three days. Amed Rosario will probably get at least a couple of starts in his place against the Braves.

Lipscomb was up briefly last month and went 2-for-4. The 25-year-old is being groomed as a utility player by the Nationals; he’s started at least four games at first, second, third and in left field while hitting .283/.362/.380 in Triple-A this season.

Hendrickson showed up in street clothes at the Bengals’ offseason practice Tuesday and spoke to reporters about his contract dispute with the team. Hendrickson, who has reportedly had “no communication” with the Bengals front office this offseason, said he would refuse to suit up under his current deal, which includes a $15.8 million base salary for 2025. He did not say whether he would sit out training camp or regular season games. Hendrickson reportedly wants upwards of $30 million as he enters his age-31 season. He could be traded in the coming weeks, though that could prove tricky for the Bengals considering they want a first-round pick in exchange for the excellent pass rusher. Pro Football Focus graded Hendrickson as the NFL’s fifth best pass rusher in 2024.

Skenes has pitched for Team USA in two other tournaments during his career and actually spent two years at the Air Force Academy. He is arguably the best pitcher in baseball right now and will partner with arguably the best hitter in baseball right now, Aaron Judge, to lead Team USA in what figures to be an extremely competitive WBC tournament in 2026.
