It was revealed last weekend that the Arizona Diamondbacks could soon be facing a worst-nightmare scenario. Now it's official: They are facing a worst-nightmare scenario.

And not even the best pitching prospect in baseball is likely to save them from it.

Yu Darvish has been great since joining the Texas Rangers, but a neck injury has forced the team to bench its ace, according to MLB.com. Darvish has a sore neck and is heading back to Dallas for more tests. It is very likely he will start the season on the disabled list.

Mike Pelfrey's legendary speech to Wichita State may not give you goosebumps, but it will make you laugh out loud. 

Living up to its purpose, this year's spring training has answered a ton of roster-related questions for the New York Yankees.

The Yankees had three legitimate questions to answer heading into spring camp.

Who are the reserve middle infielders?

Who is the No. 5 starter?

Who is the backup catcher?

The Dodgers picked up 2014 right where last season left off—dashing the rival Diamondbacks' hopes and dreams on their home field. Only this time, the "home field" was in front of thousands of Australian fans at Sydney Cricket Ground. 

The team St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny plans to take north to Cincinnati for Opening Day is almost set.

Spring training is almost done, and this means that roster cuts and adjustments have either been made or need to be made in order to come up with the best possible 25-man roster for Opening Day.

This time of year can be very rewarding for those who make the Opening Day roster or very disappointing for those who are either optioned to the minor leagues or released.

Here are three big winners and three big losers for the New York Mets' spring training this year.

Spring training is nearly over for the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Boston Red Sox are getting closer to starting the defense of their World Series title when they begin regular season play on March 31 against the Baltimore Orioles.

Some questions about the roster have been answered during their time in Fort Myers, Fla. However, new ones have appeared due to certain performances, and others still need to be figured out.

Though it was fun to behold, the Baltimore Orioles’ return to the postseason in 2012 had the look and feel of a season that was going to be awfully hard to repeat.

And it was. The Orioles went from 93 wins in 2012 to 85 wins in 2013, in large part because their pitching was nowhere near as consistent as their offense and defense.
