Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL
Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Removed early Saturday
Estrada was pulled from Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox after getting hit in the head, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
The second baseman was hit in the head by Michael Taylor's foot while tagging him out at second base in the fourth frame. Estrada was able to finish the half-inning but was replaced by a pinch hitter in the fifth. Manager Bud Black said the incident shook Estrada up quite a bit, but his removal was precautionary, and he likely won't need to miss much time.

Brewers' Tobias Myers: Undergoing imaging Sunday
Myers told reporters after Saturday's spring game against the Angels that he will undergo imaging Sunday to determine the severity of his left oblique injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Myers was removed from Saturday's game after feeling discomfort in his left oblique. He appeared optimistic that he avoided serious injury, though manager Pat Murphy relayed that he expects the 26-year-old right hander to miss some time, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Imaging will determine the severity of the injury and provide Myers a better idea of his recovery timeline, but he seems to be in jeopardy of starting the regular season on the injured list.

Diamondbacks' J.P. Feyereisen: Inks MiLB deal with Arizona
Feyereisen signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Feyereisen struggled mightily in his 10 appearances with the Dodgers last season, surrendering 10 earned runs over 11 innings. He fared better at Triple-A Oklahoma City (5.48 ERA, 1.40 WHIP in 42.2 innings), but it wasn't enough for Feyereisen to earn an invitation to big-league spring training, as he had remained a free agent all offseason. After catching on with a new organization, Feyereisen will likely have to have a run of sustained success at Triple-A Reno before getting a look in the Arizona bullpen.

Jose Trevino C | CIN
Reds' Jose Trevino: Avoids fracture
Imaging on Trevino's right hand came back negative Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
After taking a foul tip off his right hand during Friday's contest, Trevino will avoid the injured list, as a CT scan revealed no fracture. The 32-year-old backstop will be thrust into a significant role for the first few weeks of the regular season while Tyler Stephenson works his way back from an oblique strain.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Dealing with shoulder fatigue
Turang was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's spring game against the Athletics due to right shoulder fatigue, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Turang's removal from the lineup was said by the Brewers to be precautionary, and it doesn't appear the injury is a long-term concern. He could sit for a couple days to aid his recovery, but the issue shouldn't impact his availability for Opening Day. Turang appeared in 155 regular-season games in 2024 and slashed .254/.316/.349 with 50 stolen bases, seven home runs and 50 RBI over 619 plate appearances.

Brewers' Tobias Myers: Exits with injury
Myers was removed from Saturday's game against the Angels with left oblique discomfort, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Myers was grabbing at his left side before leaving the game alongside a trainer in the second inning. It remains to be seen how severe his injury is, but the Brewers will likely take a look at him in the clubhouse and provide an update in the near future. If Myers would need to spend time on the injured list to begin the season, Tyler Alexander would be the most likely candidate to join Milwaukee's Opening Day rotation.

Austin Riley 3B | ATL
Braves' Austin Riley: In Saturday's lineup
Riley (hand) will start at third base and bat second in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.
Riley was forced to make an early exit from Friday's contest after getting hit on the right hand by a pitch, but no damage was done and he's right back in the lineup a day later. The 27-year-old has had a very successful spring so far, going 8-for-26 with two RBI and two runs scored over 11 games.

Brewers' Brice Turang: Scratched from lineup
Turang was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's Cactus League game against the Athletics.
It's currently unknown why Turang was removed from Milwaukee's starting nine, but the team should offer some clarity shortly. In the meantime, Cooper Pratt will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.

Phillies' Matt Strahm: Throwing from 75 feet
Strahm (shoulder) began playing catch from 75 feet Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Strahm said he no longer has any pain in his left shoulder, and he was cleared to begin throwing after visiting a doctor Saturday. He's set to extend his throwing distance Sunday, but it's still unclear if he'll have enough time to build up to game readiness before Opening Day.

Luis Arraez 2B | PHI
Padres' Luis Arraez: Collects three hits in spring game
Arraez went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and a stolen base in Friday's Cactus League win over Texas.
Arraez is swinging a hot bat this spring, batting .433 over 30 at-bats. He did a couple things Friday that are out of the norm for him, as he both hit a homer and stole a base. Arraez had just four long balls and nine thefts over 672 regular-season plate appearances last year, which are reasons why he's often taken outside of the top 150 in fantasy drafts. That said, Arraez is as dependable as it gets when it comes to providing elite batting average, as evidenced by his run of three consecutive batting titles.
