  • Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol: Not likely to begin in majors

    Graterol is unlikely to break camp on the major-league roster, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Graterol will not appear in any Cactus League game this spring and has yet to face any live hitters. As a result, manager Dave Roberts suggested that Graterol won't be built up enough to begin the season in the Dodgers' bullpen. When he is able to contribute, Graterol figures to occupy a high-leverage role for the team.

  • Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol: Won't see game action

    Graterol won't appear in a Cactus League game this spring, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    The Dodgers have held Graterol back all spring, though he will face live hitters at some point according to manager Dave Roberts. Graterol's progression leaves his status for Opening Day in question, though once he is ready to take the mound he should serve as a high-leverage reliever for the team.

  • Mariners' Jimmy Yacabonis: Headed to minor-league camp

    Yacabonis was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Yacabonis joined the Mariners on a minor-league deal in late December but was unable to earn a spot in the team's bullpen. He spent the 2020 campaign with the Mariners, though he threw only 2.1 frames.

  • JT Chargois RP | TEX

    Mariners' JT Chargois: Heads to minor-league camp

    Chargois was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Chargois pitched the 2020 season in Japan, but he returned stateside in February on a minor-league deal with the Mariners. He threw only official two innings this spring, but he could land with the team at various points during the 2021 regular season as bullpen depth.

  • Justin Wilson RP | BOS

    Yankees' Justin Wilson: Dealing with shoulder tightness

    Wilson was diagnosed with tightness in his left shoulder after exiting Monday's contest early.

    Wilson motioned to the dugout in the middle of his outing and quickly exited the game after speaking with a trainer. He will be re-evaluated Tuesday, though the injury has the potential to hold him out through the start of the regular season.

  • Yohan Ramirez RP | PIT

    Mariners' Yohan Ramirez: Sent to alternate site

    Ramirez was optioned to the alternate site Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Ramirez was a Rule 5 pick for the team in 2019 and showed glimpses of promise in the shortened 2020 campaign, racking up 26 strikeouts across 20.2 innings of work while maintaining a 2.61 ERA. However, he was held back during spring training due to COVID-19 protocols and has made only one official appearance as a result. Ramirez will almost certainly be back with Seattle at some point this season and could be a candidate to work in high-leverage roles if he can control his pitches more effectively.

  • Rays' Brent Honeywell: Returns to mound without issue

    Honeywell touched 95 mph with his fastball and mixed in offspeed and breaking pitches during his outing Monday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

    Honeywell threw one inning and allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk in his first appearance in a live game since Sept. 19, 2017. He reportedly hit 95 mph with his fastball while also mixing in a slider and changeup. Most importantly, he left the outing healthy. Honeywell is likely to start the season at Triple-A Durham, but could have a shot to make his major-league debut at some point during the 2021 campaign.

  • Justin Wilson RP | BOS

    Yankees' Justin Wilson: Exits with trainer

    Wilson (undisclosed) exited Monday's game with a trainer, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

    Wilson called to the dugout while on the mound and spoke to trainers before exiting the game. There are no details regarding the injury, though it could affect his status for Opening Day.

  • Jordan Romano RP | COL

    Blue Jays' Jordan Romano: Keeps performing well

    Romano struck out the side without allowing a hit during his appearance Monday.

    Romano needed only 15 pitches to retire the side in order, nine of which went for strikes. He now has a 12:1 K:BB across five innings of work this spring and could be the favorite for saves in Toronto with Kirby Yates (arm) sidelined.

  • Connor Sadzeck RP | MIN

    White Sox's Connor Sadzeck: Demoted to minors

    Sadzeck was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Sadzeck was vying for a bullpen role in spring training, though he wasn't expected to open the season in the big leagues. He last pitched in the majors in 2019 as a member of the Mariners, logging a 2.66 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with a 27:15 K:BB across 23.2 innings.
