    Nationals optioned RHP Jefry Rodriguez to Triple-A Rochester.
    Rodriguez has allowed 14 earned runs in 15 innings over his last nine appearances dating back to July. The Nationals will have to hope that a stint in the minors will get him back on track.

  • PHI Infield #28

    Phillies manager Rob Thomson indicated Saturday that Alec Bohm is the likeliest candidate to open up as his team’s cleanup hitter behind Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper.
    Thomson didn’t say what order the top three guys would bat in, but that’s the order they finished last year in and there wouldn’t seem to be much reason to make a change. The Phillies have tended to rotate cleanup hitters based on whichever right-handed hitter has the hot hand, and that shouldn’t change. One imagines Adolis García will hit sixth initially, unless he can overtake Bohm this spring. Brandon Marsh will probably hit fifth against righties.
    Carroll, Lindor, Holliday all injure hamate bones
    Eric Samulski dives into the rash of hamate bone injuries affecting MLB stars, sharing the latest news regarding Corbin Carroll, Jackson Holliday and Francisco Lindor, who all will miss time with hamate bone injuries.
  • TEX Outfield
    Rangers signed OF Marcus Lee Sang to a minor league contract.
    The 25-year-old outfielder was originally an 11th round selection by the Phillies from the 2019 draft class. He spent most of the 2025 campaign at Double-A Reading where he slashed .239/.297/.397 with 13 homers, 47 RBI, 12 stolen bases and a 100/30 K/BB ratio across 425 plate appearances. He’ll add organizational outfield depth for the Rangers.
  • AZ 1st Baseman #28
    Diamondbacks’ manager Torey Lovullo told reporters on Sunday that Tyler Locklear (elbow, shoulder) it’s likely to be ready to return until late May or early June.
    It’s the first real update we have received on a timeline for the 25-year-old slugger after undergoing surgeries on his elbow and shoulder following a collision at first base in the final month of the regular season. It looks like the Diamondbacks will rely on some combination of Carlos Santana, Tim Tawa and Pavin Smith to hold down the cold corner until then.
  • SD Outfield #8
    Padres signed 1B/OF Nick Castellanos to a one-year contract.
    With the Phillies picking up the tab on his salary, the Padres are only obligated to pay him the league minimum in 2026. He’ll get an opportunity to play first base as well as spend time in the corner outfield for the Padres where he’ll add another legitimate right-handed bat to the middle of the lineup.
  • AZ Pitcher #39
    Diamondbacks placed RHP Corbin Burnes on the 60-day injured list.
    The star 31-year-old right-hander is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery and is tentatively targeting a return around the All-Star break. This was done primarily as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster to make the Zac Gallen signing official on Sunday.
  • AZ Pitcher #33
    Diamondbacks placed LHP A.J. Puk on the 60-day injured list.
    Puk continues to work his way back from last June’s Tommy John surgery. He claims that he’s ahead of schedule and wants to rejoin the Diamondbacks’ bullpen before the end of June, which would provide a significant boost to the backend of the team’s bullpen. Moving him to the 60-day IL now frees up a spot on the D’Backs’ 40-man roster for the addition of Grant Holman on Sunday.
  • AZ Pitcher #67
    Diamondbacks claimed RHP Grant Holman off of waivers from the Athletics.
    The A’s removed the 25-year-old hurler from their 40-man roster earlier in the week when they made their signing of Scott Barlow official. Holman has proven to be an outstanding reliever in the minor leagues but has yet to be able to translate that success to the game’s highest level. He makes for a solid depth addition to the Diamondbacks’ bullpen.
  • CIN 3rd Baseman #43
    Reds’ manager Terry Francona told reporters on Sunday that Sal Stewart will focus primarily on playing first base during spring training.
    He’ll also mix in at second base, with the intention that he would slide over there on days when Matt McLain is off or Elly De La Cruz is off and McLain moves over to shortstop. Francona wants the majority of Stewart’s emphasis this spring though to be at first base. As long as his bat finds its way into the Reds’ lineup on a regular basis, fantasy managers won’t care where he’s lined up defensively.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #31
    Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Sunday that right-hander Cam Schlittler could resume throwing from a mound on Tuesday.
    The Yankees have slow played Schlittler early in camp as he’s dealing with a bit of inflammation in the middle of his back. Naturally, they’re going to take every possible precaution at this point in the season and won’t risk aggravating the issue further. As of now, there’s no reason to expect that he won’t be ready for the start of the regular season.
  • NYM Pitcher #72
    Mets placed RHP Dedniel Núñez on the 60-day injured list.
    Núñez is still in the recovery phase of his second career Tommy John surgery and is expected to miss the bulk of the 2026 campaign. Shifting him to the 60-day injured list clears a spot on the Mets’ 40-man roster for the addition of Ben Rortvedt on Sunday.
