  • Rob Zastryzny RP | MIL

    Brewers' Rob Zastryzny: Out with strained shoulder

    The Brewers placed Zastryzny (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Zastryzny suffered a left rhomboid strain earlier this month and will get a late start to the season. The Brewers anticipate the left-handed reliever being ready to go at some point in April.

  • Pierson Ohl RP | COL

    Rockies' Pierson Ohl: Lands on 60-day injured list

    The Rockies placed Ohl (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

    Ohl underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery in late February. If the Rockies bring him back as a reliever, he has a chance to be ready in time for the start of next season.

  • Bryan Hudson RP | CHW

    Mets' Bryan Hudson: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Mets designated Hudson for assignment Wednesday.

    The Mets traded for Hudson at the start of camp, but he was knocked around for six runs with a 5:3 K:BB across 3.1 innings this spring. Hudson is coming off a rough 2025 campaign, but he was one of the Brewers' better relievers in 2024, so there could be interest in the big lefty on waivers.

  • Craig Yoho RP | MIL

    Brewers' Craig Yoho: Shelved with calf strain

    The Brewers placed Yoho (calf) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Yoho came down with a right calf strain in mid-March. The Brewers do not expect Yoho to be sidelined long and are targeting mid-April for his return to action.

  • Evan Phillips RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Evan Phillips: Takes another step forward

    Phillips (elbow) threw a bullpen session to a squatting catcher March 17, per MLB.com.

    Phillips had previously been throwing only to a standing catcher, so this was a notable step forward in his recovery from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last June. The righty reliever is beginning the season on the 60-day injured list and is expected to miss most of the season, though he could be ready for game action sometime in the second half.

  • Caleb Kilian RP | SF

    Giants' Caleb Kilian: Contract selected

    The Giants selected Kilian's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

    Kilian won a bullpen job as a non-roster invitee after yielding just one run with an 11:2 K:BB over 9.1 innings during Cactus League play. The 28-year-old is likely to operate in middle relief initially, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he pushes for a more high-profile role as part of a Giants bullpen that's in flux.

  • Giants' Michael Fulmer: Fails to make Opening Day roster

    The Giants reassigned Fulmer to minor-league camp Wednesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Fulmer joined the Giants as a non-roster invitee in February, and he had a solid showing during spring training with five earned runs allowed and a 16:4 K:BB over 10.1 innings. He made just three regular-season appearances between the Cubs and Red Sox last season after missing all of 2024 due to UCL revision surgery.

  • Grant Holman RP | PHI

    Diamondbacks' Grant Holman: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Diamondbacks designated Holman for assignment Wednesday.

    Holman was pushed off the 40-man roster with Arizona needing to clear three spots for infielder Ildemaro Vargas and right-handers Jonathan Loaisiga and Joe Ross, all of whom will be included on the Opening Day squad. Arizona previously scooped up the 25-year-old Holman off waivers from the Athletics in February after he turned in a 5.09 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB over 23 big-league innings last season.

  • Joe Ross RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Joe Ross: Added to roster

    The Diamondbacks selected Ross's contract from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

    Despite posting a 7.71 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB over seven innings during spring training, Ross was able to secure a spot in Arizona's Opening Day bullpen. The right-hander is expected to operate as a multi-inning reliever/mop-up man for Arizona.

  • Diamondbacks' Jonathan Loaisiga: Added to roster

    The Diamondbacks selected Loaisiga's contract from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

    Loaisiga had been attending camp as a non-roster invitee but secured his place in Arizona's Opening Day bullpen after posting a 9:2 K:BB while permitting four earned runs and allowing nine hits over eight innings. He'll likely begin the season in a middle-relief role for Arizona but could quickly work his way into higher-leverage spots if he performs well early on.
