Jeurys Familia struck out one batter in a scoreless inning Monday with Double-A Binghamton. Familia's 15-game suspension for an domestic violence incident in 2016 will end Wednesday. Terry Collins said Sunday that Familia is expected to appear in another game during the next two days with Double-A Binghamton before likely joining the Mets on Thursday at Citi Field. "He's a huge piece of our team," Collins added, according to MLB.com. "This guy was arguably one of the best closers in baseball last year. So, to know that he's a few days from returning is something nice to look forward to."

Mets manager Terry Collins addressed the team following Sunday's loss to the Marlins, which marked the end of New York's first road trip of the season.

One of the lasting impressions from Phillies spring training was that the organization is in pretty good shape at second base. Scott Kingery was the star of the first two weeks of Grapefruit League play. Before sending Kingery over to the minor-league side, manager Pete Mackanin said, "It looks like he's on a fast track to the major leagues." Kingery is off to a great start at Double A Reading with three doubles, four homers and 12 RBIs in his first 32 at-bats. Continue to Article

To get to Lake Olmstead Stadium, home of the Augusta GreenJackets (get it?), you drive down Milledge Road, past Julian Smith Park and American Legion Post 63. Tim Tebow is playing baseball, and nobody really seems to know why. Tebow – Heisman Trophy winner, national champion, ex-NFL quarterback, faith-based inspiration, and hot-take generator without equal – did more than raise eyebrows last summer when he announced plans to pick up a sport he hadn’t played since high school.
