Reyes was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Angels on Friday.

Reyes was unable to secure a spot in the Los Angeles bullpen to begin the 2023 campaign. The right-hander made two appearances for the Angels last season, and he is a good bet to be an up-and-down arm for the club in 2023.

Webb was reassigned Friday to the minor-league side of Angels camp.

Webb impressed with 10 strikeouts over eight scoreless innings this spring in the Cactus League, but he'll open the 2023 season in the bullpen at Triple-A Salt Lake. He could be a contributor for the Halos at some point this year.

Joyce was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Angels on Friday.

Joyce showed off his impressive fastball during his time in camp with the Angels -- clocking as high as 104 mph on radar guns -- but he also walked five over six appearances to suggest his command isn't quite big-league ready. The former University of Tennessee star will open in the upper levels, and he could be an option for the Angels' bullpen before the end of 2023.

Bachman was reassigned Friday to the minor-league side of Angels camp.

Bachman battled some general soreness earlier this month, but he seems to be past it now. The 2021 first-round pick is likely to begin the 2023 campaign in a starting role at Double-A Rocket City.

Herrin has been informed he's made the Opening Day roster for the Guardians, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Herrin was added to the 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 draft in November, and the southpaw registered an 11:2 K:BB with a 4.66 ERA over nine appearances in the Cactus League before receiving the good news. Herrin will likely will pitch in the middle innings while with the Guardians.

Kelly was reassigned Friday to the minor-league side of Guardians camp, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Hunter Gaddis and Tim Herrin will claim the final two spots in the Opening Day bullpen for Cleveland. Kelly made his MLB debut with the Phillies last year at age 29 but logged only four inning of relief before being outrighted off their 40-man roster in July.

Cordero is "in a good spot" to make the Yankees' Opening Day roster, manager Aaron Boone told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com Friday.

Not having options left improves his chances, but Cordero has also impressed with a 9:1 K:BB over nine innings this spring. The 31-year-old hasn't appeared in the majors since 2020 with the White Sox.

Hatch struck out one in a perfect sixth inning during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.

The fact that the right-hander was being used for a short relief outing this late in camp could be a sign the Blue Jays plan to transition him to the bullpen on a full-time basis this season rather than stretching him back out to start at Triple-A Buffalo. Hatch's 9.35 ERA and 2.08 WHIP through 8.2 innings this spring are ugly, but they come with an 11:2 K:BB, and he could be an option later this season when the big-league 'pen needs reinforcements.

Norris signed a minor-league deal with the Guardians on Friday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

After being released by the Reds on Monday, the 29-year-old reliever will get a shot with Cleveland and report directly to minor-league camp. Norris put up a 5.22 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 58.2 major-league innings last season with the Cubs and Tigers, and he will likely begin the season at Triple-A.

Tate (elbow) threw another side session Friday in Orioles camp, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

Tate continues to make steady progress in his recovery from a November flexor strain, but he is still expected to spend the first month of the 2023 campaign on the injured list. The 28-year-old worked to a 3.05 ERA and 60:16 K:BB over 73.2 innings of relief for Baltimore in 2022.
