  • Duncan Davitt SP | CHW

    White Sox's Duncan Davitt: Sent to Charlotte

    The White Sox optioned Davitt to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    Davitt made two appearances in the Cactus League this spring and didn't allow an earned run over four innings. He'll officially begin the 2026 campaign at Charlotte, where he turned in a 5.03 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 48.1 frames last season.

  • Robert Stock SP | NYM

    Mets' Robert Stock: Dealing with shoulder discomfort

    Stock experienced shoulder discomfort while playing with Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic and will undergo testing, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

    Stock, entering his age-36 season, is on a minor-league contract with the Mets, and just weeks away from Opening Day, the veteran reliever began experiencing shoulder discomfort. The results of his testing should paint a clearer picture of how long he'll be sidelined, but according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Stock won't pitch for Israel for the rest of the WBC.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Set to throw live BP

    Kelly (back) is slated to throw live batting practice Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Kelly threw a bullpen session Thursday and came away from the session feeling good. He'll take the next step in his recovery Sunday by facing batters. The 37-year-old threw roughly 30 pitches in the bullpen session and utilized his entire arsenal.

  • Trey Yesavage SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Limited workload to start season

    Yesavage could face a workload restriction to begin the season, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The Blue Jays have been pitching Yesavage in live batting practice sessions rather than games so far this spring, and there's no timeline for when he will appear in a Grapefruit League contest. Manager John Schneider noted Friday that "we still view him as a starter," but the righty could be limited to 3-to-4 innings per start early in the season. Toronto is being careful with Yesavage's workload after he threw 139.2 innings across all levels in 2025, including the postseason -- a 46.1-inning jump from his final collegiate season in 2024.

  • Yorman Gomez SP | CLE

    Guardians' Yorman Gomez: Removed from big-league camp

    The Guardians optioned Gomez to minor-league camp Friday.

    Gomez was added to the 40-man roster over the winter but never had a real chance to win an Opening Day roster spot. The righty coughed up four runs on five hits and a 1:4 K:BB over 3.1 innings in Cactus League play.

  • Guardians' Austin Peterson: Cut from big-league camp

    The Guardians optioned Peterson (triceps) to minor-league camp Friday.

    Peterson suffered a right triceps strain in late February and will not be ready for the start of the season. Once healthy, he'll be ticketed for the rotation at Triple-A Columbus.

  • Jose Fermin SP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Fermin: Sent to minors camp

    The Angels optioned Fermin to minor-league camp Friday.

    The 24-year-old has had a rough spring, yielding five runs on four hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. Fermin made 40 appearances for the Halos last season and should still play a role in their bullpen in 2026.

  • Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Remains shut down from throwing

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that Tiedemann (elbow) has yet to resume a throwing program, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Tiedemann was shut down a couple weeks ago after feeling left elbow soreness following a bullpen session. An MRI cleared the lefty of structural damage, and Schneider noted that Tiedemann could be cleared to resume throwing "hopefully in the next couple of days."

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: No timetable for mound work

    Bieber (forearm) had a heavy flat-ground throwing day Friday, but there remains no timeline for when he will throw from a mound, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that "all reports are good" on Bieber, who is "champing at the bit." It's clear, however, that Toronto will continue to proceed cautiously with the right-hander as he works his way back from last year's forearm fatigue. Bieber has already been ruled out for Opening Day, and given where he's at in his throwing program, a minimum stay on the injured list seems unlikely.

  • Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Dazzles against Astros

    Alcantara struck out four over three perfect innings in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Houston.

    The right-hander fired 31 of 43 pitches for strikes in an impressive performance against an Astros lineup that featured most of the team's likely Opening Day lineup, including Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez. Alcantara has a 5:1 K:BB through his first four spring innings as he looks to rebound from a disappointing 5.36 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 174.2 frames in 2025.
