Jake Peavy was exactly sharp in his spring debut on Thursday. But he is healthy, which makes this year so much more promising for the Giants right-hander than his disappointing 2015.

Javier Baez’s first start in center field was a little bit of an adventure. The first three Brewers batters Thursday hit balls to Baez, beginning with Jonathan Villar, who ended up with a triple off the center-field wall. Baez was turned around a few times as he tried to track the ball.

In his first 2016 Cactus League start, John Danks allowed three runs on four hits over two innings with one strikeout. But it was more about the work than the results at this point for the southpaw.

The injury bug has halted Cameron Maybin’s career once more, this time in very tough-luck fashion. What was initially hoped to be a bruised left wrist turned out to be a non-displaced fracture, which will sideline Maybin for at least the next 4-6 weeks.

Mike Trout didn’t waste any time. The Angels’ superstar center fielder made a sprawling catch to start Thursday’s game and finished his Cactus League debut 3-for-3, setting an early tone in the Angels’ 8-2 victory over the division-rival A’s at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
