The Brooklyn Knights finished spring training 20-10, which was tied with the Cornfield Axemen for NALB's best record. In League 2, the surprising Quebeck Sky Chiefs (19-11) and St. James Crusaders (16-14) had division leading spring training records.

The Knights enter the regular season quite healthy. Only 3B Dave Crayton is on the Injured List. He suffered a bruised wrist in the next to last spring training game and is expected to be out for two weeks.

Other key injuries in spring training:

Cornfield Axemen: RP Pedro Corazao tore the flexor tendon in his elbow. He will miss most of the regular season.

Dunedin Otters: SP Heinie Mata needs surgery to remove bone chips in his elbow. He will not play in 2024.

Las Vegas Luck: RP Dave Bruton has bone chips in his elbow and will be out for the first half of the season.

Phoenix Rattlers: 2B Rico Gómez strained an oblique muscle on March 13. That injury will keep him out of action for about 6 weeks.

Richmond Slam: RP Ramón Uribes tore his rotator cuff in spring training. It will require a long road back, probably 13-14 months before he can play again.

Richmond Slam: RP Lyndon Coulombe tore the labrum in his pitching shoulder on February 28. There is a chance he may return by the end of June.

Stade Maples: SP Sosuke Nakamura is dealing with shoulder inflammation. The team's current projection for him is a July return.

Vancouver Wild: Iván Martínez
