Brieske was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Tigers on Thursday with right upper arm discomfort.

Brieske felt discomfort after his final Grapefruit League outing. The team is still seeking a more specific diagnosis for the righty and should be able to provide a clearer timetable once that's available.

The White Sox placed Hendriks on the 15-day injured list Thursday as he continues cancer treatment.

Hendriks' recovery is going well, which is why he's being placed on the 15-day and not the 60-day IL. He could need to move to the 60-day IL eventually, but the White Sox are keeping their options open for now.

Uceta was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Thursday.

Uceta missed the cut for Detroit's Opening Day roster and has now lost his spot on the 40-man roster. The 25-year-old made 10 appearances for the Diamondbacks last year and had a 5.82 ERA over 17 innings.

Brentz (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

This is simply a procedural move, as Brentz will likely miss all of the 2023 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. His placement on the 60-day IL opened up a 40-man roster spot for Jackie Bradley.

Cuas made the Royals' Opening Day roster.

Cuas had a rough spring, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over 6.1 innings. He closed last season with Triple-A Omaha, and he'll likely bounce between levels again 2023. While with the Royals, Cuas can be expected to serve in a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

Taylor (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Taylor didn't appear in any spring training games due to a left elbow strain and isn't available to begin the season. He also missed time due to an elbow issue last year, and it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined.

Mushinski was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Astros on Thursday with a lumbar spine muscle spasm.

Mushinski first started experiencing back spasms in late February. He doesn't appear to have resumed a throwing program yet, so he figures to be on the shelf a while.

The White Sox placed Foster (forearm0 on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

The injury cropped up for Foster in mid-March. It's not clear at this point how long he might be sidelined, but he remains shut down from throwing for the time being.

The White Sox placed Crochet (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Crochet missed all of 2022 and will get a late start to 2023 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He's throwing off a mound, though, and it would seem to be a good sign that he hasn't been placed on the 60-day IL.

The White Sox optioned Banks to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Banks missed out on an Opening Day bullpen assignment but should get his opportunity soon enough. He posted a 3.06 ERA over 35 appearances last season.
