  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Padres' Jose Miranda: Sent to minor-league camp

    Miranda was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Padres on Sunday.

    Miranda inked a minor-league contract with San Diego in December, and he was able to join the team as a non-roster invitee during spring training. The 27-year-old compiled a strong .304 average with two home runs, nine RBI and six runs scored over 46 at-bats in 22 contests during Cactus League action. Miranda is now likely headed to Triple-A El Paso for the beginning of the 2026 campaign.

  • TJ Rumfield 3B | COL

    Rockies' T.J. Rumfield: Clinches Opening Day roster spot

    Manager Warren Schaeffer said Sunday that Rumfield has secured a spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Rumfield had been attending camp as a non-roster invitee but will wind up breaking camp with the big club after slashing .286/.368/.531 with four home runs and one stolen base across his 57 plate appearances in Cactus League play. The Rockies will officially add Rumfield to the active roster shortly before Friday's season opener in Miami. Though Schaeffer didn't specifically outline what Rumfield's role will look like, the 25-year-old should be in line for regular starts at first base to begin the season, at least against right-handed pitching. The right-handed-hitting Kyle Karros could be a candidate to spell the left-handed-hitting Rumfield when the Rockies face southpaws.

  • Vimael Machin 3B | BAL

    Rockies' Vimael Machin: Misses out on Opening Day roster

    The Rockies reassigned Machin to minor-league camp Thursday.

    Machin will likely begin the season at Triple-A Albuquerque after he was unable to win a utility spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster. The 32-year-old resurfaced in the majors for the first time since 2022 as a member of the Orioles organization last season, appearing in four games and going 1-for-11 with a solo home run.

  • Chad Stevens 3B | COL

    Rockies' Chad Stevens: Fails to make cut

    The Rockies reassigned Stevens to minor-league camp Sunday.

    Stevens is expected to open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque after he was unable to win a bench role with the Rockies coming out of spring training. The 27-year-old made his big-league debut with the Angels in 2025, appearing in five games while going 2-for-13 at the dish.

  • Nicky Lopez 3B | COL

    Rockies' Nicky Lopez: Misses out on Opening Day roster

    The Rockies reassigned Lopez to minor-league camp Sunday.

    Lopez had been vying for a utility spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster but won't break camp with the big club after posting a .695 OPS across 48 plate appearances in Cactus League play. Unless the Rockies grant him his release to pursue opportunities elsewhere, the 31-year-old infielder is expected to open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque.

  • Graham Pauley 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Graham Pauley: Playing third base Sunday

    Pauley (forearm) will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.

    After experiencing tightness in his right forearm early in camp, Pauley had been limited to designated hitter through his first nine spring games, but he's finally been given the green light to debut in the field. The 25-year-old will be part of the Marlins' Opening Day roster, but it's unclear if he'll be deployed as the primary third baseman to begin the season. Connor Norby has outproduced Pauley this spring, but he may be needed in left field to cover for Kyle Stowers (hamstring).

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Multi-hit effort in spring win

    Devers went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-7 Cactus League win over the Guardians.

    Devers hit an RBI single in the third inning and added another single in the fifth before coming around to score. The veteran slugger also doubled in the seventh. Devers slashed .172/.200/.310 with five RBI, three runs scored and one home run across 30 plate appearances in nine Cactus League games. His batting average dipped last season after his trade to San Francisco, though he still logged 35 long balls -- his fourth campaign with at least 30 homers across nine MLB seasons.

  • Vinny Capra 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Vinny Capra: Cut from Red Sox camp

    The Red Sox reassigned Capra to minor-league camp Saturday.

    Last spring, Capra was able to secure a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, but the 29-year-old utility man wasn't as fortunate in his first camp with the Red Sox. Capra will presumably begin the season at Triple-A Worcester, where he should get the chance to play on a near-everyday basis. Between the Brewers and White Sox in 2025, Capra saw action in 47 games and slashed .125/.157/.177 with one home run and two stolen bases across 105 plate appearances.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Roaring into regular season

    Riley went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run and four RBI in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.

    The long ball wasn't a cheap one -- Riley got hold of a Garrett Crochet cutter in the second inning and put it over the ersatz Green Monster at JetBlue Park. It was Riley's fifth homer of the spring, and the third baseman knocked both his doubles off Boston's ace as well. Over 15 Grapefruit League games, Riley is batting .395 (15-for-38) with a 6:8 BB:K, and he looks more than ready for Opening Day.

  • Carter Kieboom 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Carter Kieboom: Moved to Philadelphia

    The Guardians traded Kieboom to the Phillies on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Kieboom inked a minor-league deal with the Guardians in mid-January and appeared 16 Cactus League games for Cleveland, posting a .160/.192/.320 slash line with one home run and five RBI in 26 plate appearances. Per Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Kierboom will report to Philadelphia's minor-league camp and likely open the season in Triple-A but could see some major-league action if the Phillies need additional depth at first base.
