MLB: Adam Macko part of MLB Spring Breakout
Pitcher Adam Macko, who was traded to Toronto Blue Jays in the previous season, still waits for his chance to play for the Canadian team. While he was part of the roster, he didn’t play any of the Spring Training games. But this should soon change. His club made him a part of Spring Training Breakout roster.
MLB decided to to bring a new series called MLB Spring Breakout this year. The series will offer a sixteen games with the prospects of the teams playing each other. And since Slovak Adam Macko is #9 in MLB Pipeline, it is little surprise Blue Jays made him a part of the roster for the event.
Toronto will play against Yankees on 16th of March as a part of MLB Spring Breakout and Slovak might get a chance to play his first game against an interesting opponent. Furthermore, he would be the first Slovak to play an MLB game since 1961, when Elmer Valo played for Philadelphia Phillies.

Spring Breakout is a new initiative of Major League Baseball, which goal is to showcase young talents during the Spring Training. Sixteen games will be played across Arizona and Florida – Reds and Cardinals will both play 2 games due to an uneven number of teams in each state. Twelve out of sixteen games will be played as a doubleheader.
Each game of Spring Breakout will take seven innings, unless both teams agree to play nine innings. Padres and Mariners (15th of March), Phillies and Tigers (16th of March), and Angels with Dodgers (16th of March) will play nine innings. The game will continue to extra innings if it finish with a tie.
