As the World Baseball Classic progresses, Team USA will debut against Team Brazil, with Logan Webb starting, while Team Japan’s Yoshinobu Yamamoto shone in a 13-0 win over Chinese Taipei. Royals’ Dairon Blanco, recently designated for assignment, could attract interest as an intriguing fourth outfielder due to his solid MLB numbers and base-stealing ability. Meanwhile, Padres’ Sung Mun Song is facing a precautionary exit due to right oblique tightness, having previously dealt with a similar issue. San Diego hopes to have him fit for Opening Day in under three weeks.
