Paredes hit second and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

After the game manager Joe Espada indicated that the Astros could open the season with Paredes hitting second in the order, in between Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez. The appeal for the team is Paredes' walk rate, which is 11 percent for his career. If that position becomes permanent, Paredes would be in a good position to top his career high of 71 runs scored in a season.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Henderson (side) has turned a corner in his recovery, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Hyde added of Henderson that this is the "best he's felt" since he exited last Thursday's Grapefruit League contest with right lower side discomfort. The expectation is that Henderson should be able to resume baseball activities soon, with a return to game action coming shortly after that.

Peraza is a candidate to start at third base on Opening Day if DJ LeMahieu (calf) isn't ready to play by then, CJ Haddad of MLB.com reports.

Though LeMahieu has said that he doesn't think his calf injury is serious, his Opening Day status is nonetheless in doubt. Oswaldo Cabrera is the favorite to move into a starting role at the hot corner if LeMahieu is sidelined for any regular-season time, but Peraza could push for the potential opening with a strong spring. Through five spring games, Peraza has gone 4-for-12 with an RBI and three runs while Cabrera has batted 2-for-13, though the latter has a home run and a stolen base as part of his stat line.

Caminero went 2-for-3 with two home runs and four RBI in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.

Caminero's hype has grown throughout the winter, as he first delivered a 1.003 OPS across 35 plate appearances in the Dominican Winter League. He now has three home runs across 16 plate appearances in spring training, with one of his long balls Sunday jumping off the bat at 109.3 mph, per Adam Berry of MLB.com. Caminero held his own across 177 plate appearances in the majors in 2024 by posting a .723 OPS, but he's showing the potential to improve upon those results in 2025.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday that Henderson (side) is improving but is still a few days away from resuming baseball activities, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Henderson is still tending to a sore lower right side, which he tweaked in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Toronto. The Orioles are hoping that a few more days of rest will be enough for Henderson to overcome the issue, though his return to the spring lineup still may be a week away or longer.

Machado (back) is expected to play in one of Tuesday's split-squad games, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The veteran third baseman was scratched from the lineup Friday due to back tightness, but it appears he'll require only a few days off before returning to action. Barring an aggravation of the injury, Machado shouldn't have an issue being ready for the start of the season.

Ramos (elbow) will serve as the White Sox's designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers.

Ramos is making his first start of the spring, as his lone other Cactus League appearance came as a backup DH in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Angels. Since he's still operating with some restrictions with his throwing while he works through a sore right elbow, Ramos may not be ready to play the infield anytime soon, but serving as a DH should still allow him to pick up enough at-bats this spring to keep him in contention for an Opening Day roster spot.

LeMahieu (calf) said Sunday that his injury isn't serious, but he'll likely be out for "a little bit," Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

The veteran infielder suffered the injury during Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros, and he now appears set to be sidelined for at least part of camp. LeMahieu labored through foot and hip injuries while posting a career-worst .528 OPS in 67 games during the regular season in 2024 before going unused throughout the playoffs during the Yankees' run to the World Series. Even though he entered camp as the frontrunner for the top job at third base, LeMahieu is off to an ominous start in 2025.

Suarez went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's spring game against Colorado.

Suarez made the Rockies pay for botching a potential inning-ending double-play. He launched a 2-0 fastball 444 feet into the seats in left field for his first Cactus League homer. Suarez is building off a strong second half of 2024, when he had a .974 OPS and 24 home runs from July forward, following a first-half slump that nearly cost him his starting job.

Garcia will get time in center field this spring as the Royals want to add another option to their outfield mix, MLB.com reports. "The way our team's set up, [Bobby Witt is] playing short, if [Michael Massey is] playing second, the next best spot to get [Garcia] is in center field," said Royals general manager J.J. Picollo.

Garcia started in center field in Friday's spring game and hit second in the order going 1-for-3 at the plate. Moving Garcia to center field may allow the Royals to get more right-handed bats into the lineup if Jonathan India is then used at third base. Garcia is still viewed as the starter at third base and it's not entirely clear who would play at third base if Garcia is used more in the outfield.
