  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Goes on 15-day IL

    The White Sox placed Berroa (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Berroa had Tommy John surgery last March and is still working his way back into game shape. The right-handed reliever has been throwing off a mound since early February, so he might not be far off from a rehab assignment if all goes well.

  • Royals' Eli Morgan: Optioned after getting 40-man spot

    The Royals selected Morgan's contract from Triple-A Omaha and optioned him to Omaha on Wednesday.

    The Royals will give Morgan a spot on the 40-man roster -- presumably to keep him from opting out of his minor-league deal -- but will stash him in the minors. Morgan had a rough 2025 season with the Cubs, but he posted a 3.27 ERA from 2022-to-2024 out of the Guardians' bullpen.

  • Anthony Nunez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Anthony Nunez: Clinches roster spot

    The Orioles recalled Nunez from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

    Despite being optioned to the minors back on March 8, Nunez will end up joining the Orioles ahead of Opening Day after a spot opened up with Keegan Akin (groin) landing on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Nunez has yet to make his MLB debut but pitched effectively out of the Norfolk bullpen last season after he was acquired in a trade with the Mets last July. Over 16 appearances for Norfolk, Nunez posted a 3.45 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 15.2 innings.

  • Jordan Romano RP | LAA

    Angels' Jordan Romano: Possible closer with Yates out

    Romano could be a top candidate to open the season as the Angels' closer after the team placed Kirby Yates (knee) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    The Angels haven't disclosed a plan for the late innings, but with Yates joining Ben Joyce (shoulder) and Robert Stephenson (elbow) on the shelf, Romano and southpaw Drew Pomeranz are left as the most likely options for the ninth. Romano has endured a rough past two seasons, but he has past closing experience, twice earning 36 saves with Toronto, and has shined this spring with a 6:0 K:BB and only one earned run allowed in six innings. Pomeranz, meanwhile, has never recorded more than four saves in a season and struggled during exhibition play with a 4:4 K:BB and five earned runs allowed in 4.2 frames.

  • Keegan Akin RP | BAL

    Orioles' Keegan Akin: Shelved with groin strain

    The Orioles placed Akin on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left groin strain.

    Akin was diagnosed with the groin strain following an MRI earlier this week, after he had initially experienced the injury while warming up for a Grapefruit League game last Saturday. The Orioles haven't provided a timeline for Akin's return, but he won't be eligible to make his 2026 debut until April 6 after landing on the shelf.

  • Rays' Steven Wilson: Goes on 60-day injured list

    The Rays placed Wilson (back) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

    Wilson had expressed optimism that his absence would be brief, but his placement on the 60-day IL means the reliever's recovery has not come along as hoped. He's working his way back from lumbar disc inflammation.

  • Orioles' Andrew Kittredge: Out with shoulder inflammation

    The Orioles placed Kittredge (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Kittredge developed right shoulder inflammation in early March. He will be eligible for activation April 6, and at last check the Orioles were expecting him to be ready to go on that date. Once healthy, Kittredge will fill a setup role.

  • Edwin Uceta RP | TB

    Rays' Edwin Uceta: Sent to 15-day injured list

    The Rays placed Uceta (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Uceta came down with a right shoulder impingement in February. He resumed mound work in mid-March but still has some building up to do. Uceta has not pitched in a game since last season, so he will require a few rehab appearances once he's deemed game-ready.

  • Cody Laweryson RP | MIN

    Twins' Cody Laweryson: Added to roster

    The Twins selected Laweryson's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

    Laweryson won a spot in the Twins' bullpen after posting a 1.17 ERA and 7:1 K:BB in 7.2 innings this spring as a non-roster invitee. The 27-year-old will be part of an unsettled relief corps in Minnesota, giving him a chance to pitch his way into leveraged appearances.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Astros' Josh Hader: Officially placed on injured list

    The Astros placed Hader (biceps) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Hader resumed mound work in early March but has not made an appearance in a game since he was diagnosed with left biceps tendinitis in early February. The southpaw is sure to require a rehab assignment before rejoining Houston's active roster. Bryan Abreu will be the Astros' closer while Hader is sidelined.
