Santos (lat) threw a light bullpen Friday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

It was an important benchmark for Santos as he works back from being shut down with lat soreness in mid-February. Drayer notes the session appeared to go well, but there's not yet an indication of when the Mariners may be willing to allow Santos to test himself out in Cactus League action.

The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Jacob spent most of last season at Double-A San Antonio but appeared in three games for the Padres in July, throwing three scoreless innings while striking out five and walking one. The 25-year-old had a relatively successful spring as well, and he could receive a midseason promotion to San Diego's bullpen if he stays hot in Triple-A.

The Padres optioned Gillaspie to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Gillaspie had been competing for a middle-relief spot in the Padres' bullpen, but he will miss the cut after giving up two runs over four innings while striking out three batters in exhibition play. The 26-year-old righty owns a 4.10 career ERA in the big leagues and could rejoin the Padres should the team run into depth problems during the season.

The Padres reassigned Nance to minor-league camp Saturday.

Nance signed with the Padres as a non-roster invitee in the offseason and had been competing for a spot in San Diego's bullpen, but he will end up missing the cut. Nance hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022 and logged a 1.29 ERA in the minors last season while working his way back from a shoulder injury.

Treinen will receive X-rays and a CT scan on his ribs Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Treinen was removed from Saturday's game against the Rangers after getting hit by a comebacker off the bat of Sam Huff. He looked to be in a lot of pain as he went down, but manager Dave Roberts said the Dodgers will have to wait until Sunday for more information on Treinen's condition. Until then, the team is labeling it as a right rib contusion for the 35-year-old righty.

Greene was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers while warming up due to a broken nail on his right middle finger, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

A trainer was looking at Greene's hand and pulled him before Greene got a chance to pitch in Saturday's game, but the issue doesn't appear to be anything too serious. Greene has surrendered one earned run in four innings this spring while striking out five batters and walking one.

Greene (hand) did not pitch in Saturday's spring training game against the Dodgers, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Pitching coach Mike Maddux and a trainer checked out Greene's throwing hand during warmups before they all walked back to the dugout. Diego Castillo entered the game in Greene's place.

Treinen was removed from his spring appearance Saturday against Texas with an apparent injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Treinen went down after getting hit by a comebacker but was able to walk off the field under his own power. The ball appeared to hit Treinen in his midsection, so it's possible he simply had the wind knocked out of him, but the Dodgers will take a closer look and offer an update on his status in the near future.

The Rangers placed Coleman (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Coleman underwent surgery on his right elbow in April of 2023 and will officially miss the first few months of the regular season as he continues to recover. His 40-man roster spot will be filled by Jose Barrero, who was claimed off waivers from Cincinnati on Saturday.

Martin, who was scheduled to throw a live bullpen session Saturday, left warmups due to right groin tightness, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Martin walked to the clubhouse after throwing two warmup pitches Saturday, and he will not participate in his scheduled bullpen session. He appeared in 55 games for the Red Sox last season and posted a 1.05 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 46:8 K:BB over 51.1 innings.
