Weber was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Yankees camp.

Weber yielded just one run over 10.2 major-league innings with the Yankees last season and should eventually get another shot in the Bronx. For now, he is ticketed for the bullpen at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Bowman was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Yankees on Tuesday.

After not having pitched since 2019 due to elbow problems, Bowman got hit around quite a bit during the spring, allowing six earned runs through just 4.2 innings. The 31-year-old righty will likely open the season in Triple-A to knock the rust off, and he could potentially join the Yankees later in the season if all goes well.

The Yankees optioned Garcia to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Garcia allowed seven runs -- six earned -- in just 8.1 major-league innings last season, though he had been showing well in the Grapefruit League this spring. The 23-year-old right-hander should get a long look with the Yankees at some point in 2023.

Headrick was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

After a solid spring camp, Headrick now reaches Triple-A for the first time in his career. The 25-year-old southpaw split time between High-A and Double-A ball last season, recording a 4.81 ERA and 1.37 WHIP through 43 innings with Double-A Wichita.

Bautista (shoulder/knee) struck out two over a perfect inning Tuesday versus the Pirates in his Grapefruit League debut.

Bautista touched 99 mph on the radar gun, per Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun. He'll make another appearance Friday and an additional 2-3 after that in preparation of Opening Day. The Orioles slow-played Bautista this spring after last year's shoulder and knee issues, but those injuries no longer appear to be of concern.

Pacheco (elbow) was claimed off waivers by the Tigers on Tuesday and optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

Pacheco had been placed on outright waivers by the Cardinals earlier this month as he recovered from a bit of elbow tightness. The 24-year-old right-hander posted an encouraging 3.05 ERA with 84 strikeouts in 62 innings last season between Double-A Springfield and Triple-A Memphis. Assuming good health, he could make his MLB debut out of Detroit's bullpen at some point in 2023.

Tarnok hasn't pitched in a Cactus League game since March 8 due to right arm discomfort, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Initial reports suggested it was a thumb issue Tarnok was dealing with, but apparently it's his pitching arm. He's undergoing tests and the Athletics should have a clearer idea of what's going on with the right-hander soon. Tarnok came over to the Athletics from Atlanta in the Sean Murphy trade. If healthy, he's likely to start 2023 at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Winder (shoulder) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

It's the first time he's faced hitters this spring as he works his way back from some right shoulder soreness. Winder doesn't have enough time to get stretched back out to start before Opening Day, but that could actually work to his benefit with the Twins looking to carry a long reliever.

White was optioned to Triple-A Toledo by the Tigers on Tuesday.

White had a breakout 2022 season at Double-A Erie after moving to the bullpen and showed well during Grapefruit League play. He is a good bet to debut in 2023 and could eventually find himself in high-leverage spots.

Boston optioned Murphy to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

Murphy struggled with walks this spring, something which has plagued him in the minors, as well. He's nonetheless one of the Red Sox's better pitching prospects and could get a shot to make starts with the big club in 2023.
