The White Sox selected Maton's contract Thursday.

The 28-year-old made the Opening Day roster as a utility player, though it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up getting a look as a near-everyday player early on in the season in the wake of his huge spring. Over his 43 plate appearances in the Cactus League, Maton slashed .289/.357/.632 with four home runs. Second base or shortstop would likely represent the clearest path for Maton to see playing time.

The Angels optioned Lugo to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

The Angels' recent history of aggressively promoting prospects coupled with the release of Mickey Moniak on Tuesday fueled speculation that Lugo might break camp with the big club, but Los Angeles instead elected to carry Kyren Paris as a fourth outfielder on the Opening Day roster. The 23-year-old Lugo shouldn't have to wait long to make his MLB debut, especially if he continues to produce well at the plate with Salt Lake early on in the season after he held his own during spring training. Though he struck out at 29.5 percent clip and had a 3.3 percent walk rate over 61 plate appearances in the Cactus League, Lugo hit .293 with seven extra-base hits (four doubles, three triples) and two stolen bases.

The Twins placed Lewis (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

A moderate hamstring strain has kept Lewis sidelined since March 16, and he has yet to resume any sort of baseball activities since then, other than throwing. A minimum-length stay on the IL seems unlikely at this point, and he'll remain without a clear return timeline until he advances to the next stage in his rehab.

The Athletics placed Harris (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Harris strained his left oblique in early March and hadn't appeared in a spring training game since then. The Athletics haven't offered up a timetable for his return, but he'll most likely be sidelined for much of April. Harris hit .146 with three home runs and 12 RBI over 123 plate appearances over 36 games with the Athletics in 2024.

The Yankees placed LeMahieu (calf) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

LeMahieu has been battling a left calf strain since the beginning of March, so his move to the IL was fully expected. The 36-year-old infielder has been gradually easing his way back into baseball activities over the past week, though he remains without a target return date. While LeMahieu is out, Oswaldo Cabrera will likely start regularly at third base.

Jung (neck) remains on track to play Opening Day against the Red Sox, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Jung exited Monday's exhibition game with a stiff neck and was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to the injury, but he's not in any danger of missing Thursday's opener. The 27-year-old is in line to serve as the Rangers' everyday third baseman this season, though he was limited to just 46 games last year due to wrist issues.

The Red Sox optioned Sogard to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Sogard failed to make the Opening Day roster but could get a look when the Red Sox are in need of a utility infielder. He slashed .273/.326/.325 in 31 games with the big club last season.

Moncada (thumb) is expected to be active and in the Angels' Opening Day lineup versus the White Sox on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Moncada hasn't played in two weeks due to a right thumb injury, but he's been working out in recent days and apparently has convinced the Angels he's well enough to give it a go in Thursday's opener. The 29-year-old switch hitter is expected to be the Halos' primary third baseman this season after signing a one-year, $5 million contract just before spring training. Injuries have limited Moncada to only 104 games over the last two seasons.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday in a radio appearance on 93.7 WEEI that Devers will be the team's designated hitter this season.

It's been clear for a while that Devers would serve as the Red Sox's primary DH, but Wednesday marked the first time Cora has officially made the declaration. Alex Bregman will man Devers' former position at third base. Devers has never been a full-time DH before, and some players can have trouble adjusting to the role, but the 28-year-old is a good bet to remain highly productive with the bat as long as the shoulder problems he dealt with last season don't flare up again.

The White Sox informed Maton on Wednesday that he'll be included on the Opening Day roster, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Maton had a great spring to secure a roster spot, putting up a 1.045 OPS while popping four home runs. He'll be capable of playing multiple spots in the infield and outfield for the White Sox, though Maton's clearest path to playing time will come at second base and shortstop.
