"Yesterday, the WBC wrapped up its pool stage as the eight teams advancing to the next round were finalized. The biggest wins of yesterday's games were and Team Italy's victory over Javier Assad and Team Mexico, as well as Cal Quantrill and Team Canada's victories over Team Cuba. Canada (3-1) and Puerto Rico (3-1) made it out of Pool A, while Italy (4-0) and the United States (3-1) are the victors in Pool B."
"Those eight teams are now set to travel to the continental United States (if they weren't already here) for the quarterfinals and beyond, which will take place in Houston and Miami. While the quarterfinalists travel and prepare for the next round, no games are on the schedule for today. The knockout round begins on Friday with Korea facing the Dominican Republic and Canada squaring off against the United States."
"Brewers righty Quinn Priester is poised to start the year on the injured list due to soreness in his wrist. The righty reportedly went to visit a specialist yesterday, and the feedback from that visit could shed some light on the injury for Milwaukee and provide them with a more specific diagnosis. While the soreness has been intermittent and hasn't stopped him from playing catch this spring, ruling out a more significant injury could give Priester and the club some confidence."
The World Baseball Classic pool stage concluded with eight teams advancing to the quarterfinal round. Canada and Puerto Rico qualified from Pool A, Italy and the United States from Pool B, Japan and Korea from Pool C, and the Dominican Republic and Venezuela from Pool D. These teams will travel to Houston and Miami for knockout rounds beginning Friday, with Korea facing the Dominican Republic and Canada playing the United States. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers await results from a specialist's evaluation of pitcher Quinn Priester's wrist soreness. Priester is expected to start the season on the injured list, though the soreness has been intermittent. Several pitchers compete for rotation spots alongside locked-in starters Brandon Woodruff and Jacob Misiorowski.
