  • Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | NYM

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Placed on 10-day IL

    The Pirates placed Bae on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left hip flexor strain.

    Bae is coming along in his recovery, having progressed to full baseball activities, but he simply ran out of time to be ready for Opening Day. The Pirates are thus hopeful that Bae's stay on the IL will be a brief one. Once healthy, he's pegged for a utility role.

  • Vidal Brujan 2B | NYM

    Marlins' Vidal Brujan: Makes 26-man roster

    Brujan will begin the season on the Marlins' Opening Day roster.

    This isn't a surprise, as Brujan is out of minor-league options, and the 26-year-old could become Miami's new speedy super-utility player with Jon Berti now a Yankee. Brujan hit just .219 (7-for-32) in Grapefruit League play and was successful on only one of three steal attempts, a performance which aligns with his career .157/.218/.221 over 272 career big-league plate appearances for the Rays.

  • Oliver Dunn 2B | CHW

    Brewers' Oliver Dunn: Makes Opening Day roster

    The Brewers recalled Dunn from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

    After slashing .282/.404/.487 with a homer and 10 RBI during Cactus League play, Dunn has officially earned a place on a major-league roster for the first time in his career. The 26-year-old seems destined for a spot on Milwaukee's bench, but his defensive versatility could net him an occasional start versus right-handed pitching.

  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Rockies' Alan Trejo: Contract selected

    The Rockies selected Trejo's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

    Trejo came into camp as a non-roster invitee but won a spot on the Opening Day roster with a solid spring. He will be used as a reserve infielder.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Moves to injured list

    The Marlins placed Edwards on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left foot infection.

    The 24-year-old dealt with some foot inflammation in mid-March and was initially expected back in the lineup within a few days, but he's since been diagnosed with an infection. According to MLB.com, Edwards was able to hit on the back fields of camp at the tail end of spring training, so he could be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment soon.

  • Jose Fermin 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Cardinals optioned Fermin to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Fermin was the team's final roster cut ahead of Opening Day. The 24-year-old should be used as a utility infielder at Memphis.

  • Oliver Dunn 2B | CHW

    Brewers' Oliver Dunn: Looks set to make roster

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said in an interview Wednesday with 97.3 The Game Milwaukee that Dunn is in line to make the Opening Day roster.

    Dunn was sent to minor-league camp earlier this month, but he looks as though he'll be summoned to the majors to take over the active roster spot of Garrett Mitchell (finger), who will open the season on the injured list. The 26-year-old hit .282/.404/.487 this spring and can play second base, third base, shortstop and left field. Dunn would be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Moves to injured list

    The Cardinals placed Edman (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    It's been known for nearly two weeks that Edman would be starting the season on the injured list, and the move is now official just ahead of Opening Day. The 28-year-old has been taking part in baseball activities, but it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined. Prospect Victor Scott will begin the campaign as St. Louis' primary center fielder with Lars Nootbaar (ribs) and Dylan Carlson (shoulder) also on the shelf.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Set to retain roster spot

    Garcia is likely to begin the season as Washington's primary second baseman after Trey Lipscomb was reassigned to minor-league camp Tuesday.

    Garcia entered camp as the presumed starter at the keystone, but he struggled in Grapefruit League play with four errors and a .245 average. Lipscomb, meanwhile, came out of nowhere and made a strong push for a roster spot with a .995 OPS during spring training. Garcia will likely need to improve upon his .266/.304/.385 slash line from last season in order to retain the starting job throughout 2024.

  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Rockies' Alan Trejo: Secures roster spot

    Rockies manager Bud Black announced Tuesday that Trejo made the Opening Day roster, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    The 27-year-old was in camp as a non-roster invitee after being outrighted off the 40-man roster in January, but he'll be added back to the major-league roster ahead of Thursday's season opener in Arizona. Trejo appeared in 83 games for Colorado last season and had a .232/.288/.343 slash line.
