Red Sox's Bryce Brentz: Filling in for Martinez
Bryce Brentz (illness) was a late addition to the Boston Red Sox's lineup for Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. He'll start in left field and hit ninth.Brentz will enter the starting nine in place of J.D. Martinez, who was scratched after experiencing back tightness. The 30-year-old Brentz missed some time last week due to an illness, but his availability Wednesday suggests he's back to full strength. As a non-roster invitee, Brentz is a long shot to break camp with the big club and is expected to open the 2019 campaign at Triple-A Pawtucket.

Red Sox's Bryce Brentz: Back to Boston
Bryce Brentz signed a one-year minor-league deal with the Boston Red Sox that includes an invitation to spring training, Brendan McGair of the Pawtucket Times reports.The 30-year-old Brentz will rejoin the organization he started with back in 2010. The Red Sox eventually cut ties with Brentz -- the victim of a roster crunch -- after the 2017 season. There's some power potential, as he's whacked 46 home runs with an .877 OPS over 175 games at the Triple-A level the last two seasons. The deal also includes opt-out language, allowing Brentz to bolt if a better opportunity comes along. He's not expected to challenge for a spot in Boston, so if he remains in the organization, it'll be as an outfielder at Triple-A Pawtucket.

Pirates' Bryce Brentz: Awaiting roster decision
Bryce Brentz is still in the running for an Opening Day bench spot, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.A decision on Brentz, who is out of options, may ultimately be decided by whether the Pittsburgh Pirates keep an extra pitcher on the roster or go with a position player. Brentz, who's hitting just .216 in 37 at-bats, is competing with Jose Osuna and Jordan Luplow -- both of whom have arguably had better springs but have options remaining. The former Boston property has done little to distinguish himself this spring, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Bucs attempt to slide him through waivers.

Pirates' Bryce Brentz: Shipped to Pittsburgh
Bryce Brentz was traded to Pittsburgh for cash considerations Tuesday.The Red Sox no longer had room for Brentz on the 40-man roster after signing J.D. Martinez.
