Patino will be part of the Padres' 60-man summer camp.

While the 20-year-old righty has a very promising future, he faces an uphill battle to earn starts in the majors in this shortened season. He has only logged 7.2 innings above High-A and will be competing with a host of talented pitchers who have more experience than him. That said, if he forces the issue or is given an opportunity due to injuries ahead of him on the depth chart, Patino would immediately become an appealing option in redraft leagues.

Gonzalez was named to the Dodgers' summer-camp roster Sunday.

Gonzalez is on the team's 40-man roster, so it is no surprise that he received an invitation to summer camp. The southpaw ascended quickly through the Dodgers' system last season -- he began the year at High-A and ended at Triple-A -- and functioned as both a starter and a reliever, giving him a strong chance of making his major-league debut during the shortened 2020 campaign.

Bard will be a part of the Rockies' 60-man summer camp.

Bard was in camp as a non-roster invitee prior to the shutdown. The 35-year-old righty has dealt with a long list of arm injuries and has not pitched in the majors since 2013.

Harvey will be a part of the Rockies' 60-man summer camp.

Harvey was designated for assignment this past offseason, but now has a chance to see MLB action in the shortened season. The 28-year-old righty has a career 5.00 ERA and 17:13 K:BB in 18 MLB innings as a reliever.

Collins will be a part of the Rockies' 60-man summer camp.

Collins was in camp on a minor-league contract prior to the shutdown. He has plenty of big-league experience and could be called upon to pitch in low-leverage situations this season, particularly if and when injuries hit the Rockies' primary relievers.

Rolison will be a part of the Rockies' 60-man summer camp.

The 22-year-old southpaw is one of the Rockies' top pitching prospects, but he was undone by having to pitch half his games in the hitter-friendly park at High-A Lancaster last year. While he is on track to eventually be a key piece of the Rockies' rotation, he is unlikely to see much time in the majors in 2020.

Crowe has been named to the Nationals' 60-man player pool, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old rose to Triple-A last season but struggled, posting a 6.17 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 41:26 K:BB in 54 innings for Fresno. Crowe will likely be a swingman at best if he ever carves out a regular spot in the majors, but he's unlikely to make his big-league debut in 2020.

Dominguez was placed on the 45-day injured list with a right elbow sprain Sunday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Tommy John surgery remains a distinct possibility for Dominguez, and it seems like an inevitability with this transaction. The move opens up a 40-man roster spot for 2020.

Rucker will be a part of the Cubs' 60-man player pool this season.

Rucker will be assigned to training camp in South Bend, where he'll work with other minor leaguers. The 26-year-old righty should offer organizational depth for the Cubs during the abbreviated 2020 season.

Mekkes will be a part of the Cubs' 60-man player pool this season.

Mekkes will be part of a developmental group that will train in South Bend while MLB regulars train at Wrigley Field. The 25-year-old spent the past two seasons with Triple-A Iowa and gives the Cubs some depth for the upcoming year.
