  • Carl Edwards RP | NYM

    Mets' Carl Edwards: Exits big-league camp

    The Mets reassigned Edwards to minor-league camp Sunday.

    Edwards, who made four appearances in the big leagues last season between the Angels and Rangers, had been attending camp as a non-roster invitee. He was impressive with 11 strikeouts in 8.2 innings while holding hitters to a .103 batting average, but the Mets didn't have a spot available for him in their Opening Day bullpen.

  • John Curtiss RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' John Curtiss: Loses out in bid for roster

    The Diamondbacks reassigned Curtiss to minor-league camp Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Curtiss appears set to begin the season in the bullpen at Triple-A Reno after he was touched up for three earned runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in Cactus League play. The 32-year-old righty could earn another look in the majors if he can rediscover the form he displayed last season across two stints with Arizona last year, when he collected four holds and accrued a 3.93 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB in 36.2 innings.

  • Drey Jameson RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Drey Jameson: Dispatched to minors

    The Diamondbacks optioned Jameson to Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    After being limited to 17 total innings between three levels in 2025 while contending with elbow problems, Jameson has been healthy for spring training but didn't pitch well enough to win a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. He'll head to Reno after turning in an 8.44 ERA, 2.44 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB in 5.1 innings over five Cactus League appearances.

  • Angel Zerpa RP | MIL

    Brewers' Angel Zerpa: Dazzles in WBC game

    Zerpa tossed a scoreless seventh inning for the Venezuelan team in Saturday's WBC game.

    Zerpa did not allow a baserunner in the outing and struck out two batters -- one of them being Shohei Ohtani. He has not allowed a run this spring -- either for the Brewers or Team Venezuela -- and figures to fill a key role in Milwaukee's bullpen when the regular season gets underway.

  • Beau Brieske RP | DET

    Tigers' Beau Brieske: Back in action in spring training

    Brieske (ribcage) worked around a walk to toss a scoreless inning of relief in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Pirates in Grapefruit League play.

    After he was briefly shut down with right ribcage tightness, Brieske returned to the mound Friday for his third appearance of the spring and his first since March 2. Manager A.J. Hinch was satisfied with how the right-hander looked Friday, noting that he hit 96 miles per hour with his fastball and displayed "pretty good" stuff, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Brieske looks poised to break camp with the Tigers and is likely to fill a middle-relief role.

  • Tejay Antone RP | CIN

    Reds' Tejay Antone: Misses out on Opening Day roster

    The Reds reassigned Antone to minor-league camp Sunday.

    Antone owns a 2.47 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over 76.2 innings in parts of four seasons in the majors with Cincinnati, but he spent the entire 2025 campaign in the minors after completing his recovery from the third elbow surgery of his career, and the 32-year-old right-hander struggled at Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A Louisville. While his numbers in the Cactus League this spring (7.94 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB in 5.2 innings) weren't anything special, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati notes that Antone's velocity was up from 2025. He'll still need to translate those velocity gains into better results at Triple-A before earning another look in the majors.

  • Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA

    Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Having sharp spring

    Fairbanks struck out one in a perfect inning Saturday during a split-squad game against the Cardinals.

    The right-hander has yet to allow a run over four innings this spring with a 6:1 K:BB. Signed to a one-year, $13 million contract in December, Fairbanks is set to be the Marlins' unquestioned closer this season after averaging 25 saves over the last three years for the Rays with a 2.98 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 10.2 K/9 in 151 innings.

  • Astros' Enyel De Los Santos: Spring debut coming Tuesday

    Astros manager Joe Espada said that De Los Santos (knee) is slated to pitch in a game Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Espada didn't specify whether De Los Santos will be pitching in the Astros' Grapefruit League game against the Pirates that day or in a minor-league game, but either way, it will be the first action of the spring for the 30-year-old righty. De Los Santos has been slowed by a right knee strain suffered at the beginning of camp, but he's since resumed facing hitters and is slated to take part in pitcher's fielding practice Sunday. He shouldn't require much of a ramp-up period and appears on track for Opening Day.

  • Jacob Lopez RP | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Lopez: Stellar in spring start

    Lopez allowed no hits and a walk across four scoreless innings in Saturday's Cactus League win over the Royals. He struck out seven.

    After allowing a leadoff walk to Nick Loftin, Lopez proceeded to retire every other batter he faced, striking out over half of them. He was brought along slowly to open the spring after he closed the 2025 season on the injured list due to an elbow strain, but the southpaw looked fully healthy Saturday. Lopez is expected to open 2026 with a spot in the big-league rotation, as the 28-year-old looks to build on a season in which he posted a 4.08 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a 113:37 K:BB across 21 appearances (17 starts) and 92.2 innings.

  • Astros' Amos Willingham: Cut by Houston

    The Astros reassigned Willingham to minor-league camp Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The 27-year-old right-hander made 19 appearances in the big leagues for Washington in 2023-24, but he spent all of 2025 in the minors as a member of the Atlanta organization, logging a 5.17 ERA in 55.2 innings across stops with four different affiliates. After being cut from the Astros' big-league camp, Willingham will likely open the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Sugar Land.
