  • Padres' Griffin Canning: Officially placed on IL

    The Padres placed Canning (Achilles) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Canning is still on the mend from the season-ending Achilles surgery he underwent last summer, but he was cleared to face hitters in a simulated game March 20 and struck out three over a scoreless inning. A clearer timeline for his return will emerge while he builds his workload, though he could return to San Diego's rotation before the end of April.

  • Padres' Walker Buehler: Contract selected

    The Padres selected Buehler's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    Manager Craig Stammen confirmed over the weekend that Buehler had won a spot on San Diego's Opening Day roster, and Wednesday's move makes it official. The 31-year-old righty struggled to the tune of a 4.93 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 126 regular-season innings last year with Philadelphia and Boston, and he was lit up for seven earned runs over just 3.1 frames during his final start in the Cactus League. If he fails to turn things around quickly, he could be kicked out of the Friars' rotation once Joe Musgrove (elbow) and/or Griffin Canning (Achilles) return from the IL.

  • Austin Gomber SP | TEX

    Rangers' Austin Gomber: Denied Opening Day roster spot

    The Rangers reassigned Gomber to minor-league camp Wednesday.

    The Rangers closed out spring training with the top four members of the rotation all in optimal health, and with Kumar Rocker pitching well enough to beat out Jacob Latz for the fifth and final spot, Gomber never made much of a run at securing a starting role while he attended camp as a non-roster invitee. Gomber will serve as organization pitching depth for the Rangers this season and will likely slot into the rotation at Round Rock.

  • Cal Quantrill SP | TEX

    Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Heading to minors

    The Rangers reassigned Quantrill to minor-league camp Wednesday.

    The Rangers closed out spring training with the top four members of the rotation all in optimal health, and with Kumar Rocker pitching well enough to beat out Jacob Latz for the fifth and final spot, Quantrill never made much of a run at securing a starting role while he attended camp as a non-roster invitee. He'll serve as organization pitching depth for the Rangers this season and will likely slot into the rotation at Round Rock.

  • Trey Yesavage SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Opening season on IL

    The Blue Jays placed Yesavage (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    After an unprecedented rise through the Blue Jays' farm system that culminated in a masterful performance throughout Toronto's long postseason run, Yesavage was held out of action during the Grapefruit League for what was initially believed to be workload-management reasons. The Blue Jays then revealed last week that Yesavage was dealing with a right shoulder impingement, which will result in the team stashing him on the IL to begin the season. The injury isn't viewed as a long-term concern for Yesavage, who hasn't been shut down from throwing and was able to pitch in a minor-league game on the back fields of camp Wednesday. He'll likely head out on a rehab assignment shortly after the minor-league season gets underway and could be an option for the Toronto rotation at some point in April. In the meantime, while Yesavage and Shane Bieber (elbow) are both on the shelf, Eric Lauer will serve as Toronto's No. 5 starter.

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: Placement on IL made official

    The Blue Jays placed Bieber (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Bieber has dealt with what had been referred to as forearm fatigue dating back to last season, but the Blue Jays have listed right elbow inflammation as his injury designation. The veteran hurler has been throwing on flat ground, but it's unclear when he'll be ready for mound work and a rehab assignment. A clearer picture of Bieber's status should be available in the coming weeks.

  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Placed on 15-day injured list

    The Blue Jays placed Berrios (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Berrios was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his pitching elbow last week. The right-hander hopes to resume throwing soon, but the possibility exists that he'll need ample down time. Eric Lauer will slide into the Toronto rotation in Berrios' place.

  • Bryce Miller SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryce Miller: Shelved by oblique strain

    The Mariners placed Miller on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a left oblique strain.

    Miller strained his left oblique in late February and was limited to just one appearance during Cactus League play. He's thrown a pair of bullpen sessions recently and hasn't encountered any known setbacks, but the righty will require several weeks to be build back up, per Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. Emerson Hancock will occupy a spot in the Mariners rotation until Miller is ready to make his 2026 debut.

  • Quinn Priester SP | MIL

    Brewers' Quinn Priester: Move to IL made official

    The Brewers placed Priester (wrist) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Priester first developed right wrist soreness late last season and was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome after the discomfort cropped up again in Brewers camp. It's viewed as a relatively mild case of TOS and the hope is Priester is ready for his season debut around early May, but it's far from a guarantee he'll be ready by that time.

  • Rays' Cam Booser: Optioned after addition to 40-man

    The Rays selected Booser's contract from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday and optioned him to Durham.

    Presumably, Booser had an opt-out in his minor-league contract, and the Rays added him to their 40-man roster to prevent the reliever from exercising that clause. Booser holds a 4.28 ERA and 78:35 K:BB over 73.2 innings at the big-league level.
