Despite a limited output in the minor leagues in 2024, Smith has a chance at cracking the Astros' Opening Day roster thanks to a strong showing in spring training, Michael Shapiro of Chron.com reports.

Across six spring training games and 15 plate appearances, Smith has recorded one triple, two home runs and seven RBI while drawing seven walks and scoring five runs. He had only 134 plate appearances in the minors in 2024 and didn't even play Triple-A ball, but if Christian Walker (oblique) isn't able to play for the start of the regular season, Shapiro relays that the Astros could shift Isaac Paredes to first base while starting Smith, Mauricio Dubon or Zach Dezenzo at the hot corner. Even if he weren't to make the Opening Day roster, Smith stands to have a chance at getting a call-up to the majors at some point during the 2025 campaign.

Devers (shoulders) is targeting Tuesday or Wednesday for his Grapefruit League debut, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

That would be about a week after his originally scheduled spring debut, as Devers has been working on getting his timing down in live batting practice before testing things out in a game. He's been brought along slowly in camp due to last season's shoulder problems, but he doesn't seem to have had any physical setbacks. While Devers will have less than two weeks of spring games to prep for Opening Day, it doesn't appear his availability for that March 27 contest versus the Rangers is in danger.

Urias went 1-for-2 with one double, one walk and one run scored in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, and he's now 4-for-12 with a home run as well this spring.

Urias' results in spring training are worth noting due to the uncertainty surrounding star shortstop Gunnar Henderson's (side) status for Opening Day. The Orioles could need a replacement in their lineup for Henderson in the early going, and Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com notes that Urias is one of those options. Urias may be penciled in for a utility role off Baltimore's bench at the moment, but the 30-year-old infielder is a logical candidate to fill in for Henderson if needed, as Jorge Mateo (elbow) has already been ruled out for Opening Day.

Chapman batted cleanup and went 2-for-3 with two home runs in Thursday's Cactus League win over the White Sox. He's hitting .462 (6-for-13) this spring with three home runs.

The Giants used their expected starting lineup in the game, so Chapman looks set to hit behind No. 3 hitter Jung Hoo Lee. Chapman had a bounce-back season last year with 27 home runs and a .791 OPS in his first campaign with the Giants.

Mead went 4-for-4 with one walk and one run scored in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.

Mead is swinging a red-hot bat this spring. He's 14-for-18 at the plate, slashing .778/.810/1.000, with one home run, two RBI and four runs scored through seven Grapefruit League contests. Mead's blistering start to the spring could pave the way for him to make the Opening Day roster as a reserve infielder for Tampa Bay. Mead appeared in 38 regular-season games for the Rays last season and posted one home run, seven RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases across 132 plate appearances.

Collier, who got reassigned to the Reds' minor-league camp Wednesday, tweaked his thumb last weekend and might be sidelined for a while, Dave Clark of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Collier was scheduled for further evaluations Thursday. He finished 2024 at High-A Dayton and had a .798 OPS in 119 games, and it hasn't been decided yet whether he'll return there or move up to Double-A Chattanooga.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Thursday that Caminero (back) is "probably very day-to-day," Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caminero felt his back tighten up on a swing during Thursday's Grapefruit League contest versus the Phillies. While he could be held out of action for a few days to be safe, Cash said of Caminero that they "don't expect him to miss too much time."

Caminero was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game versus the Phillies due to lower-back tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Caminero struck out in both of his plate appearances before exiting. The Rays should offer an update on the young third baseman's condition after the contest.

The Orioles list Wagner (back) on the roster for their March 15 Spring Breakout game against Yankees prospects.

While with Double-A Bowie last season, Wagner didn't play after June 21 due to a back injury, but his inclusion on the roster for the Spring Breakout game implies that he's healthy heading into the 2025 campaign. Before being shut down with the injury, the 23-year-old infielder slashed a lowly .109/.208/.156 across 72 plate appearances with Bowie.

LeMahieu underwent an MRI on Wednesday which showed a strain in his left calf, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

LeMahieu said that he will be shut down from baseball activities for at least a couple of weeks after he strained his calf in a Grapefruit League game last weekend. A return timetable is still up in the air since LeMahieu hasn't yet talked about the results of the MRI with the team doctor, but Opening Day is off the table at this point. Oswaldo Cabrera appears to be next in line for regular starts at the hot corner.
