MLB Player News

Gallegos (not injury related) is not on the Opening Day roster, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

He will open the year on the 10-day injured list as he was late to arrive at camp and has been slow to build up. Kwang-Hyun Kim is expected to open the year as the closer, but Ryan Helsley also lingers as a healthy late-inning option.

Miller did not land a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Miller had a shot to land one of the 30 spots on the Brewers' roster, but he was behind the eight ball after signing a minor-league deal over the offseason, and he did not do enough to force the Brewers to make a 40-man roster move. Miller figures to head to the Brewers' alternate training site and will still have a chance to pitch for the big club at some point this season.

Williams will open the season on the Brewers' 30-man roster.

Williams held his own in 13 games out of the Brewers' bullpen last season, and he showed enough this spring and summer to break camp with the big club for the first time. Williams will not open in a prominent role, but he could be part of the group of relievers manager Craig Counsell turns to when trying to hold a lead in the middle innings.

Feyereisen will open the season on the Brewers' 30-man roster.

Feyereisen would likely have opened the season in the minors had rosters not expanded, but with teams allowed to carry 30 players he was able to land a spot in the Brewers' bullpen. Feyereisen has never pitched in the majors, but the Wisconsin native will now have the chance to make his big-league debut while wearing the uniform of his hometown squad.

The Rockies announced Thursday that Lambert (elbow) recently underwent Tommy John surgery and was placed on the 45-day injured list.

Lambert had previously developed a forearm strain late in spring training and apparently didn't fully move past the issue four months later at summer camp, prompting him to undergo the corrective procedure. Given the timing of his surgery, Lambert appears set to miss the entire 2021 campaign while rehabbing the elbow injury, though he should back to full strength for spring training in 2022.

The Diamondbacks placed Martin (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

The Diamondbacks likely aren't counting on Martin being a major contributor in 2020 after he underwent Tommy John surgery last July, but the fact that he was included in the 60-man player pool at least implies that his rehab is going according to plan. He'll likely be a top candidate to shift to the 45-day IL at some point later this season in the event the Diamondbacks need to open up a spot on the 40-man roster.

Boxberger has made the Marlins' 30-man roster, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

He was added to the 40-man roster with this move. Frisaro notes that Boxberger is expected to pitch as a setup man. The 32-year-old righty saved 32 games for the Diamondbacks in 2018. If Brandon Kintzler struggles as the closer, or if manager Don Mattingly goes with a committee, Boxberger could add to his 77 career saves this season.

Castillo (lat) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Castillo was diagnosed with a Grade 2 lat strain July 9 and was subsequently projected to miss six weeks, so a move to the injured list was inevitable. While a return during the 2020 season isn't out of the question, the severity of the injury leaves Castillo's status for the campaign in doubt.

Wingenter (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to July 20) on Wednesday.

Wingenter underwent Tommy John surgery July 17, so his move to the injured list was inevitable. The right-hander is expected to be out until the 2022 season.

Vesia will be included on the Marlins' Opening Day roster, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Vesia fired 16.1 scoreless frames at Double-A Jacksonville last season and has never seen Triple-A action, but he'll make the jump to the majors to begin 2020. The 24-year-old is likely to fill a low-leverage role until establishing himself as a reliable option.
