SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly and manager Torey Lovullo shared a hug, a grin and a few slaps on the back under the bright blue sky that the Cactus League is known for providing.

A day after owners and players reached agreement to end a 99-day lockout, all 30 spring training camps opened across Arizona and Florida. Now the four-week sprint begins in earnest to get ready for an April 7 Opening Day.
"We've been waiting for this for a while," Diamondbacks infielder Josh Rojas said before Friday's workout.
