Second baseman Omar Infante was a key figure in the Kansas City Royals' surprising run to the World Series last year, but the veteran middle infielder is ailing leading up to the start of the 2015 regular season.

Spring training might represent a fresh start for the fans of each of MLB's 30 teams. But 2014 is still on the minds of several players on those rosters.

Injuries, most of which were suffered last season, continue to dominate the headlines surrounding a handful of the biggest names in the game.

Some have progressed in their rehabilitations to the point where they've gotten back on the field and into exhibition games. These players will be our focus.

The Arizona Diamondbacks began spring training games Wednesday, the first step toward getting ready for the 2015 campaign. 

Several players have opened eyes thus far in limited time such as Walter Ibarra, Peter O'Brien, Rubby De La Rosa and Archie Bradley to name a few. 

On the other hand, several big-name players who are supposed to contribute greatly during the upcoming season have not performed as predicted.

Baseball has finally returned. With actual games—albeit ones that don't count—in the books, it's time for fantasy baseball players to buckle down for draft day.

While spring training shouldn't drastically change anybody's predraft outlook, ignoring the exhibition clashes altogether is also ill-advised. If you're searching for the right things, March happenings can help in small doses.

Officially, Alex Rodriguez is more than one week into his return. Unofficially, we have learned nothing.

OK, first the obligatory caveat: It's spring training—and the beginning of spring training at that. Drawing firm conclusions now would be like critiquing a movie 26 seconds into the first trailer. On the other hand, Major League Baseball is back!

You want to talk about it. We want to talk about it.

Spring training is only a couple of games in, but there are already players starting to set themselves apart. Obviously, the stats include small sample sizes, but the ability that some players are showing has been impressive.

There is plenty of time left in spring training, but for now, there are teams clearly setting themselves apart with their work ethic and results. In particular, these five players have been turning heads so far.

Gilberto Suarez, the man who helped Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig escape Cuba in 2012, will serve time in prison and be under house arrest for his role in violating U.S. immigration laws.   

It's going to be a while before we really know for sure. But for now, one thing at least appears to be true: Matt Harvey is back.

After nearly 19 months on the shelf, New York Mets ace Matt Harvey finally returned to game action Friday in a spring training contest against the Detroit Tigers.

Harvey worked just two innings, but they were spectacular as he was perfect and struck out three batters.
