  • Sandy Leon C | ATL

    Braves' Sandy Leon: Cut from big-league camp

    Atlanta reassigned Leon to minor-league camp Monday.

    Leon's dismissal leaves Atlanta with just two healthy backstops in big-league camp: Drake Baldwin and Chadwick Tromp. Barring an addition from outside the organization, the two will begin the season as Atlanta's catching tandem until Sean Murphy (rib) is ready to make his 2025 debut. Leon is likely to open the campaign as organizational catching depth at Triple-A Gwinnett.

  • Mets' Hayden Senger: Making push for 26-man roster

    Senger could open the season as the Mets' No. 2 catcher behind Luis Torrens, Tim Britton of the Athletic reports.

    Internal options for catching depth are limited with Francisco Alvarez (hand) set to begin the campaign on the IL, but Senger's defensive skills behind the plate could make him the choice over Jakson Reetz and Chris Williams. The 27-year-old Senger doesn't offer much upside with his bat however, managing a .724 OPS with three homers over 48 games for Triple-A Syracuse in 2024, and the Mets could look outside the organization for Torrens' backup once other teams begin to trim their rosters at the end of camp.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Makes impression with homer Sunday

    Campusano hit a three-run home run in his only at-bat during Sunday's Cactus League loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Campusano didn't start the game, but he entered as a defensive replacement at catcher in the seventh inning. The 26-year-old then made the most of his lone plate appearance, smashing a three-run homer to left field in the eighth frame. It was a much-needed big hit for Campusano, who entered Sunday having gone just 3-for-21 this spring. He's competing with Elias Diaz to be San Diego's primary catcher to open the campaign, and Diaz has also struggled at the dish in Cactus League play with a 3-for-22 line. With that in mind, Campusano could turn the competition in his favor if he's able to build upon Sunday's performance during what's left of spring training.

  • Cardinals' Gavin Collins: Sent to minor-league camp

    The Cardinals reassigned Collins to minor-league camp Sunday.

    Collins will be heading into his second season in the Cardinals organization after producing a .796 OPS over 216 plate appearances at Triple-A Memphis in 2024. The 29-year-old is primarily a catcher, but he's also capable of playing first base in a pinch.

  • Curt Casali C | ATL

    Braves' Curt Casali: Assigned to minor-league camp

    Atlanta assigned Casali to minor-league camp Sunday.

    Casali was brought in by Atlanta on a minor-league deal in January after appearing in 41 regular-season games for the Giants in 2024. Even with Sean Murphy rehabbing from a fractured rib on his left side, Casali will start the 2025 campaign in Triple-A, leaving Drake Baldwin, Chadwick Tromp and Sandy Leon to battle for catching duties to begin the campaign.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Sent to Triple-A

    The Marlins optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

    Ramirez faced an uphill battle to make the Marlins' Opening Day roster, and as expected he'll begin the 2025 regular season in Triple-A. He was acquired by the Marlins from the Yankees in the Jazz Chisholm trade in late July, slashing .270/.368/.364 for Jacksonville with four home runs and 20 RBI across 125 plate appearances. Ramirez made a good impression during camp, and a strong start in Triple-A could see him jump to the major-league roster at some point during the 2025 campaign.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Avoids fracture

    Imaging on Trevino's right hand came back negative Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    After taking a foul tip off his right hand during Friday's contest, Trevino will avoid the injured list, as a CT scan revealed no fracture. The 32-year-old backstop will be thrust into a significant role for the first few weeks of the regular season while Tyler Stephenson works his way back from an oblique strain.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Undergoing CT scan

    Trevino will receive a CT scan on his right hand Saturday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Trevino was hit on the hand near the base of his thumb by a foul tip during Friday's game, forcing him to leave the contest early. His scan will help determine the severity of his injury, though manager Terry Francona said the backstop felt like he could have played in Saturday's exhibition game. Fellow catcher Tyler Stephenson (oblique) is also dealing with an injury and will miss the start of the season, so Austin Wynns could be in line for playing time if Trevino's scans reveal severe damage.

  • Austin Wynns C | ATH

    Reds' Austin Wynns: Roster chance improves

    Wynns' chances of making the roster improved this week after injuries to Tyler Stephenson (oblique) and Jose Trevino (hand), Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    In the span of three days, Wynns went from the outside looking in to appearing to have a spot on the Opening Day roster. Trevino's injury is less severe than Stephenson, who is facing a multiple-week absence, so Wynns may be the primary backup. The Reds could also scan the market for veteran catchers.

  • Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Dodgers optioned Feduccia to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Feduccia remains with the club in Japan on the 31-man travel roster but has officially been removed from the major-league roster. The 27-year-old made his big-league debut down the stretch last year and went 4-for-12 in five games, but he isn't likely to see much action in 2025 if Will Smith and Austin Barnes stay healthy.
