  • 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.

  • Rob Zastryzny RP | MIL

    Brewers' Rob Zastryzny: Out with strained shoulder

    The Brewers placed Zastryzny (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Zastryzny suffered a left rhomboid strain earlier this month and will get a late start to the season. The Brewers anticipate the left-handed reliever being ready to go at some point in April.

  • 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.

  • Pierson Ohl RP | COL

    Rockies' Pierson Ohl: Lands on 60-day injured list

    The Rockies placed Ohl (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

    Ohl underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery in late February. If the Rockies bring him back as a reliever, he has a chance to be ready in time for the start of next season.

  • 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.

  • Bryan Hudson RP | CHW

    Mets' Bryan Hudson: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Mets designated Hudson for assignment Wednesday.

    The Mets traded for Hudson at the start of camp, but he was knocked around for six runs with a 5:3 K:BB across 3.1 innings this spring. Hudson is coming off a rough 2025 campaign, but he was one of the Brewers' better relievers in 2024, so there could be interest in the big lefty on waivers.

  • 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.

  • Craig Yoho RP | MIL

    Brewers' Craig Yoho: Shelved with calf strain

    The Brewers placed Yoho (calf) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Yoho came down with a right calf strain in mid-March. The Brewers do not expect Yoho to be sidelined long and are targeting mid-April for his return to action.
