NBC SportsRyan Weathers looked sharp in Thursday's spring outing against the Braves, punching out three batters over 2 1/3 shutout frames.

Weathers did not allow a hit in the contest, though he did issue three free passes. He got himself into quite a jam in the opening inning, walking Jurickson Profar, Austin Riley and Matt Olson in succession to start his day. He retired Marcell Ozuna on a fly ball to right though before giving way to Nigel Belgrave who saved him by getting Ozzie Albies to bounce into an inning-ending double play. Weathers returned for the second inning and retired the next six hitters that he faced in order -- half of them via the strikeout. Weathers is locked into a spot in the Marlins' Opening Day rotation and looks like he could be an intriguing late-round option in deeper mixed leagues.

NBC SportsMarcus Stroman was tagged for four runs in 2 2/3 innings by the Braves on Sunday.

At least it was the big boys who took him deep, as Austin Riley and Matt Olson went back-to-back off him in the first. Stroman appears destined to get his desired spot in the Yankees rotation with Luis Gil ailing. It doesn't seem likely that he'll do a whole lot with it.

NBC SportsAustin Riley homered and doubled as the Braves pummeled the Yankees 11-1 on Sunday.

Riley and Matt Olson hit back-to-back homers off Marcus Stroman in the first. Riley has typically hit second this spring, but the Braves backed him up to third with Marcell Ozuna not playing today. The guess here is that Riley will hit second behind Jurickson Profar on Opening Day.
