  • Cardinals' Gavin Collins: Sent to minor-league camp

    The Cardinals reassigned Collins to minor-league camp Sunday.

    Collins will be heading into his second season in the Cardinals organization after producing a .796 OPS over 216 plate appearances at Triple-A Memphis in 2024. The 29-year-old is primarily a catcher, but he's also capable of playing first base in a pinch.

  • Curt Casali C | ATL

    Braves' Curt Casali: Assigned to minor-league camp

    Atlanta assigned Casali to minor-league camp Sunday.

    Casali was brought in by Atlanta on a minor-league deal in January after appearing in 41 regular-season games for the Giants in 2024. Even with Sean Murphy rehabbing from a fractured rib on his left side, Casali will start the 2025 campaign in Triple-A, leaving Drake Baldwin, Chadwick Tromp and Sandy Leon to battle for catching duties to begin the campaign.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Sent to Triple-A

    The Marlins optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

    Ramirez faced an uphill battle to make the Marlins' Opening Day roster, and as expected he'll begin the 2025 regular season in Triple-A. He was acquired by the Marlins from the Yankees in the Jazz Chisholm trade in late July, slashing .270/.368/.364 for Jacksonville with four home runs and 20 RBI across 125 plate appearances. Ramirez made a good impression during camp, and a strong start in Triple-A could see him jump to the major-league roster at some point during the 2025 campaign.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Avoids fracture

    Imaging on Trevino's right hand came back negative Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    After taking a foul tip off his right hand during Friday's contest, Trevino will avoid the injured list, as a CT scan revealed no fracture. The 32-year-old backstop will be thrust into a significant role for the first few weeks of the regular season while Tyler Stephenson works his way back from an oblique strain.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Undergoing CT scan

    Trevino will receive a CT scan on his right hand Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Trevino was hit on the hand near the base of his thumb by a foul tip during Friday's game, forcing him to leave the contest early. His scan will help determine the severity of his injury, though manager Terry Francona said the backstop felt like he could have played in Saturday's exhibition game. Fellow catcher Tyler Stephenson (oblique) is also dealing with an injury and will miss the start of the season, so Austin Wynns could be in line for playing time if Trevino's scans reveal severe damage.

  • Austin Wynns C | ATH

    Reds' Austin Wynns: Roster chance improves

    Wynns' chances of making the roster improved this week after injuries to Tyler Stephenson (oblique) and Jose Trevino (hand), Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    In the span of three days, Wynns went from the outside looking in to appearing to have a spot on the Opening Day roster. Trevino's injury is less severe than Stephenson, who is facing a multiple-week absence, so Wynns may be the primary backup. The Reds could also scan the market for veteran catchers.

  • Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Dodgers optioned Feduccia to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Feduccia remains with the club in Japan on the 31-man travel roster but has officially been removed from the major-league roster. The 27-year-old made his big-league debut down the stretch last year and went 4-for-12 in five games, but he isn't likely to see much action in 2025 if Will Smith and Austin Barnes stay healthy.

  • Endy Rodriguez 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Likely odd man out

    Rodriguez will likely begin the season with Triple-A Indianapolis because the Pirates want him to get everyday at-bats, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Rodriguez is returning from a lost 2024 season caused by an elbow injury. He's performed well enough to secure a roster spot by hitting .381 with three extra-base hits across 21 at-bats in Grapefruit League games, but Joey Bart has earned the top spot on the depth chart after producing well last year. The Pirates have experimented with Rodriguez at different positions in the past, and he may need to regain that versatility or have Henry Davis struggle in order to find his way to the majors early in the campaign.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Exits with apparent injury

    Trevino was removed from Friday's Cactus League game against Arizona with an apparent hand injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Trevino suffered the injury in the fifth inning when a foul tip off the bat of Corbin Carroll struck him in the hand. The severity of the backstop's injury remains unclear, though the Reds can ill afford to be without Trevino with Tyler Stephenson (oblique) slated to begin the regular season on the injured list.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Remains on track for starting role

    Bailey went 1-for 2 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 Cactus League loss to the Rangers. He is now batting .261 (6-for-23) with one home run and three RBI this spring.

    Bailey has registered a .261/.292/.435 slash line in nine appearances this spring, not particularly impressive numbers by Cactus League standards. The 25-year-old is set to serve as the club's everyday catcher after winning his first Gold Glove during the 2024 campaign, which was his second season in the majors. Over two seasons with the Giants, Bailey has recorded a middling .234/.292/.348 slash line.
