Suarez was slotted fifth in the batting order in the two games since he returned from the World Baseball Classic, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Since Suarez was signed by Cincinnati at the beginning of February, the general consensus was that he'd bat fourth, and that's where he was in four of his first five Cactus League games before departing for the WBC. Reds manager Terry Francona explained the batting-order experiment, indicating the reconfigured lineup (with Sal Stewart batting cleanup) might generate more RBI opportunities for Suarez. However it shakes out, Suarez will be a middle-of-the-order bat for the Reds in 2026.

Vargas is expected to be on Arizona's Opening Day roster, after the team reassigned Jacob Amaya to minor-league camp Sunday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

The Amaya transaction seemingly resolves the roster fates of Vargas, Jorge Barrosa and Tim Tawa. Vargas received the news well Sunday, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a Cactus League contest against the Padres. He's batting .378 (17-for-45) with four doubles, two homers and nine RBI over 15 spring games. He's expected to serve as a backup utility infielder along with Tawa, who will also find time in the outfield.

Karros will begin the 2026 season on the big-league roster, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Karros was the favorite to claim the third-base job coming into spring training, and his performance during the exhibition season aligned with those expectations. He collected 15 hits -- four of which went for extra bases -- and struck out only nine times in 41 plate appearances. Karros will presumably draw the majority of starts at third base to begin the season, though his role hasn't been defined.

Miranda was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Padres on Sunday.

Miranda inked a minor-league contract with San Diego in December, and he was able to join the team as a non-roster invitee during spring training. The 27-year-old compiled a strong .304 average with two home runs, nine RBI and six runs scored over 46 at-bats in 22 contests during Cactus League action. Miranda is now likely headed to Triple-A El Paso for the beginning of the 2026 campaign.

Manager Warren Schaeffer said Sunday that Rumfield has secured a spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Rumfield had been attending camp as a non-roster invitee but will wind up breaking camp with the big club after slashing .286/.368/.531 with four home runs and one stolen base across his 57 plate appearances in Cactus League play. The Rockies will officially add Rumfield to the active roster shortly before Friday's season opener in Miami. Though Schaeffer didn't specifically outline what Rumfield's role will look like, the 25-year-old should be in line for regular starts at first base to begin the season, at least against right-handed pitching. The right-handed-hitting Kyle Karros could be a candidate to spell the left-handed-hitting Rumfield when the Rockies face southpaws.

The Rockies reassigned Machin to minor-league camp Thursday.

Machin will likely begin the season at Triple-A Albuquerque after he was unable to win a utility spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster. The 32-year-old resurfaced in the majors for the first time since 2022 as a member of the Orioles organization last season, appearing in four games and going 1-for-11 with a solo home run.

The Rockies reassigned Stevens to minor-league camp Sunday.

Stevens is expected to open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque after he was unable to win a bench role with the Rockies coming out of spring training. The 27-year-old made his big-league debut with the Angels in 2025, appearing in five games while going 2-for-13 at the dish.

The Rockies reassigned Lopez to minor-league camp Sunday.

Lopez had been vying for a utility spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster but won't break camp with the big club after posting a .695 OPS across 48 plate appearances in Cactus League play. Unless the Rockies grant him his release to pursue opportunities elsewhere, the 31-year-old infielder is expected to open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Pauley (forearm) will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.

After experiencing tightness in his right forearm early in camp, Pauley had been limited to designated hitter through his first nine spring games, but he's finally been given the green light to debut in the field. The 25-year-old will be part of the Marlins' Opening Day roster, but it's unclear if he'll be deployed as the primary third baseman to begin the season. Connor Norby has outproduced Pauley this spring, but he may be needed in left field to cover for Kyle Stowers (hamstring).

Devers went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-7 Cactus League win over the Guardians.

Devers hit an RBI single in the third inning and added another single in the fifth before coming around to score. The veteran slugger also doubled in the seventh. Devers slashed .172/.200/.310 with five RBI, three runs scored and one home run across 30 plate appearances in nine Cactus League games. His batting average dipped last season after his trade to San Francisco, though he still logged 35 long balls -- his fourth campaign with at least 30 homers across nine MLB seasons.
