The Mets placed Reed (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Reed's move to the IL comes after he was unable to make any Grapefruit League appearances this spring due to a left oblique strain. The Mets haven't provided an update regarding where he stands in his recovery, so the expectation is that the reliever will be sidelined for more than the minimum 10 days.

Castano has made the Marlins' Opening Day roster, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Castano was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in March, but he'll rejoin the major-league club as part of the Opening Day bullpen. The southpaw made five appearances (four starts) for the Marlins last year and logged a 4.87 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 20.1 innings.

Armstrong's contract was selected by the Marlins on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Armstrong joined the Marlins as a non-roster invitee in mid-March and posted a 2.08 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in 4.1 innings across five Grapefruit League starts. He'll presumably pitch in low-leverage situations out of Miami's bullpen.

Coonrod (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Coonrod sustained a shoulder strain in late March and has been shut down from throwing. A timetable for his return is unlikely to be known until he begins a throwing program.

The Padres will include Wilson as one of 15 pitchers on their Opening Day roster.

Wilson will reach the big leagues for the first time after he joined the Padres' 40-man roster in November. The Padres elected to protect him from the Rule 5 draft following a 2021 campaign in which he compiled a 3.43 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 39.1 innings. He'll likely be limited to a mop-up role out of the bullpen early on this season.

The Padres optioned Knehr to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Even though they swapped out two pitchers (Chris Paddack and Emilio Pagan) for one (Taylor Rogers) in a trade with the Twins earlier in the day, the Padres didn't have room in the rotation or bullpen for Knehr on the Opening Day roster. The 25-year-old lefty will likely prepare to fill a starting role for El Paso and stay stretched out in the event the Padres require reinforcement for the rotation at some point down the road.

The Padres placed Garcia on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right oblique strain.

After signing a two-year, $7 million contract with San Diego in the winter, Garcia looked like a potential candidate to factor into the mix for saves with his new team, but his oblique injury coupled with the Padres' acquisition of closer Taylor Rogers from the Twins on Thursday likely ends those hopes. Once he moves past the oblique strain, Garcia will presumably slot into a setup or middle-inning role for the Padres.

Devenski (elbow) was reassigned to minor-league camp Thursday.

Devenski resumed mound work in late March but isn't expected to return to game action until sometime around the middle of the season. He'll continue his recovery process with the minor-league club.

Brebbia has made the Giants' Opening Day roster, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

After making at least 45 appearances in each of his first three major-league seasons with the Cardinals, Brebbia spent 2021 with the Giants and made just 18 relief appearances with a 5.89 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 18.1 innings. He's expected to work in middle relief for San Francisco.

Sims (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Sims tossed a bullpen session Saturday but isn't expected to be ready for game action until mid-to-late April. He's expected to be the favorite for closing duties once he's back to full health, but Art Warren, Luis Cessa and Hunter Strickland will vie for save chances while Sims is unavailable.
