Manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Henderson (side) is "pretty sore" and will rest through the weekend, though there's still minimal long-term concern about the injury, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The 23-year-old was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game as a precaution due to right lower-side soreness, which was the result of an awkward landing while he caught a line drive. Assuming he doesn't need any additional time to recover, Henderson should return to game action next week.

Madrigal will likely miss the entire season after surgery to repair a fractured left shoulder, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Madrigal suffered the injury during a Grapefruit League contest Sunday when he landed on the shoulder following an off-balance throw. He's already been placed on the 60-day injured list and his tenure with the Mets could be over before it starts, as Madrigal will be a free agent next offseason.

Alvarez was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals due to left wrist discomfort.

Alvarez was wincing after he struck out swinging during his at-bat in the first inning, and he was replaced in the field the bottom of the frame. Atlanta will likely take a closer look at him and offer an update on his status in the near future.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Henderson's (side) removal from Thursday's game versus the Blue Jays was precautionary, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Henderson's lower right side was a bit sore as a result of landing on the ground after catching a Bo Bichette line drive. However, there are no plans for Henderson to undergo an MRI and the Orioles expect him to be fine. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief.

Henderson was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Toronto due to lower right side discomfort, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It's likely that Henderson tweaked something after making a diving catch in the field or while attempting to beat out a grounder during his lone at-bat, and it bothered him enough to warrant his removal after just one inning. The Orioles will presumably take a closer look at him to make sure he didn't suffer a more serious injury, but he can be marked as day-to-day for now.

Henderson was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game versus the Blue Jays after one inning with a possible injury, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It's not clear what happened, but he was seen exiting the field with an athletic trainer. Henderson attempted to beat out a bobbled grounder during his one plate appearance and also made a leaping catch in the field, so it's possible he tweaked something during one of those plays. The Orioles should offer an update on his status soon.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that LeMahieu is expected to make his Grapefruit League debut either Saturday or Monday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

LeMahieu entered camp healthy after missing significant time last season due to foot and hip injuries, but he's been held out of spring games thus far as the Yankees limit his workload. The veteran infielder is the perceived favorite to handle the bulk of the third-base reps for the Yankees in 2025, but with a .698 OPS since the start of the 2021 campaign, he'll have to impress during the spring to win the gig.

Lugo (hand) will start in left field and bat fifth in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Cubs, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Lugo didn't play after Aug. 2 this past season due to a hand injury, but he received an invitation to big-league spring training and hasn't shown any signs of being limited during camp. He'll be playing in his fourth Cactus League game Thursday after going 4-for-9 with an RBI through his first three contests. The 23-year-old outfielder is one of the Angels' top prospects, but he has yet to make his MLB debut and doesn't appear to be a serious candidate for the Opening Day roster.

Collier reported to camp in much better shape after improving his diet in the offseason, Charlie's Chalkboard reports. "I went into the offseason a bit overweight," Collier said. "They told me at instructs make sure you come in next year in shape and can play over a lot of games. I cut out the fast food, the sweet stuff and the snacks. I ate good meals. It's night and day. It allows me to be more mobile. It allows me to move and stretch a lot more and get a lot more of my legs in my swing."

Collier is already one of the Reds' better hitting prospects and posted a .798 OPS at High-A last year as a 19-year-old, and the improved conditioning should help as he moves into the upper minors. The 2022 first-round pick is in big-league camp but is likely to begin the campaign at Double-A Chattanooga.

Baty went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.

The 25-year-old got the start at third base and hooked a Hayden Wesneski offering over the right-field fence in the third inning for his first long ball of the spring. Baty isn't going to unseat Mark Vientos at the hot corner, but he's getting a look all around the infield in camp, including at shortstop. If Baty demonstrates he can handle the defensive demands, he might take over the utility infielder job originally ticketed for Nick Madrigal (shoulder) on the Opening Day roster.
