  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Placed on 60-day IL

    The Angels placed Rendon (hip) on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    After reaching an agreement over the winter with the Angels to restructure the final year of the seven-year, $245 million contract he signed in December 2019, Rendon won't join the Angels for 2026 and will miss a second straight season after undergoing hip surgery prior to the 2025 campaign. However, he will remain on the team's official roster and presumably spend the entire season on the 60-day IL. Once he becomes a free agent following the season, Rendon is expected to formally retire from professional baseball.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Bryan Ramos: DFA'd by O's

    The Orioles designated Ramos for assignment Tuesday.

    Ramos slashed .316/.381/.474 with a homer, three RBI and four runs scored across 42 plate appearances in the Grapefruit League, but his attempt at making Baltimore's Opening Day roster was still unsuccessful. The 24-year-old doesn't have minor-league options remaining, so he'll also have to forfeit his place on the 40-man roster.

  • Red Sox's Andruw Monasterio: Will platoon with Mayer

    Monasterio will be part of a three-player platoon at second base early in the regular season, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Boston manager Alex Cora discussed his plans for second base, where Marcelo Mayer will start against right-handers. Against lefties, it will be either Monasterio or Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Monasterio was better than Kiner-Falefa against left-handers in 2025, but Cora indicated he would "mix-and-match" between the two. Fantasy managers will get an early look at how Cora handles the situation, as Boston is scheduled to face left-handers in its first two games of the regular season.

  • Tanner Murray 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Tanner Murray: Overcomes finger injury

    Murray (finger) went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run and an RBI while appearing in three Cactus League games last week.

    Murray had previously exited a March 7 game after being struck in the right pinky finger by a pitch, but he was cleared for action just over a week later. The 26-year-old infielder finished Cactus League play with a .238/.333/.619 slash line to go with two home runs and one stolen base across 27 plate appearances. He'll open the season at Triple-A Charlotte but should make his MLB debut at some point in 2026 after being added to the White Sox's 40-man roster over the winter.

  • Ryan Kreidler 3B | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Kreidler: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Twins optioned Kreidler to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Kreidler was in the running for one of the final reserve spots for the Twins but ultimately didn't make the cut. The utility player will report to St. Paul for now but should eventually get an opportunity with the big club.

  • Vinny Capra 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Vinny Capra: Cut from Red Sox camp

    The Red Sox reassigned Capra to minor-league camp Saturday.

    Last spring, Capra was able to secure a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, but the 29-year-old utility man wasn't as fortunate in his first camp with the Red Sox. Capra will presumably begin the season at Triple-A Worcester, where he should get the chance to play on a near-everyday basis. Between the Brewers and White Sox in 2025, Capra saw action in 47 games and slashed .125/.157/.177 with one home run and two stolen bases across 105 plate appearances.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Slumping this spring

    Lewis is hitting just .091 (3-for-33) with two home runs this spring. He has two walks and 11 strikeouts.

    Lewis appears healthy after missing a few days due to tightness in his side which is likely the most important aspect of his spring. However, it would be nice to see him get on a roll the final few days of spring training. Still, he's set to be the everyday starter at third base.

  • Rays' Justyn-Henry Malloy: Moves to minor-league camp

    The Rays optioned Malloy to minor-league camp Friday.

    The Rays traded for Malloy in January, but the 26-year-old won't make the Opening Day roster. The former Tiger went 8-for-36 (.222) with two doubles, a stolen base and a 2:8 BB:K for the Rays during spring training.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Out at least 3-4 weeks

    Walls received a cortisone injection in his right oblique and is expected to be sideline at least three-to-four weeks, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    The 29-year-old sustained the injury earlier this week and will begin the season on the injured list. It wouldn't be surprising if Walls is sidelined beyond that estimate given the nature of oblique injuries. Top prospect Carson Williams is expected to step in at shortstop for the Rays and may not cede the job back to Walls, who had a meager .584 OPS since making his MLB debut in 2021.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Homers in return

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's spring game against the Royals.

    Ramirez returned to the lineup for the first time since an issue with his left shoulder cropped up last Sunday. He showed the shoulder was in fine shape when he swatted a no-doubt home run in his first plate appearance. The homer was Ramirez's third of the Cactus League, and an indicator that he'll be ready for Opening Day next week.
