Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Stone was diagnosed with inflammation in his right shoulder after undergoing an MRI and will be shut down from throwing for at least a couple weeks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The 27-year-old will have a delayed start to the season, but it's encouraging that the MRI showed no structural damage after he suffered a setback with his surgically repaired right shoulder. Assuming Stone is able to ramp his throwing program back up after a couple weeks, he could be fully cleared before the end of April. He could be ticketed for Triple-A Oklahoma City once healthy.

Edman (ankle) has started taking swings in the batting cage but is not expected to play in any Cactus League games before Dodgers camp breaks, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Edman is recovering from offseason right ankle surgery and has already been ruled out for Opening Day. He will likely stay back in extended spring training to continue his rehab before eventually getting assigned to a minor-league affiliate for a rehab assignment. The Dodgers have not yet revealed a target date for Edman's season debut.

Tucker has left Dodgers camp in order to be with his wife, who is expecting a child, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Tucker will get a few days away from the club in order to tend to more important matters. It will not affect his preparation for Opening Day. Tucker is 1-for-7 with a 4:1 BB:K in his first four Cactus League games this spring.

Profar will be suspended 162 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug for the second time in the last year, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

It was announced March 31 of last year that Profar was suspended 80 games for a positive PED test, and now he is set to miss an entire season for a second failed test. Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the MLBPA plans to challenge the suspension by filing a grievance, though it's highly unlikely it would be overturned. Profar -- who is in the second year of a three-year, $42 million contract -- had been set to serve as Atlanta's primary designated hitter this season. The club could mix and match in that slot now, at least until Sean Murphy (hip) returns, or it could seek help from outside the organization.

Stewart clubbed a three-run home run and added an RBI double in Monday's Cactus League game versus the Cubs.

Stewart's long ball off of Collin Snider in the fifth inning went over the batter's eye in center field and was measured at 410 feet and 107.2 mph off the bat. It was the 22-year-old's second home run this spring, and he also added his second stolen base. Stewart cranked five home runs in 18 regular-season games down the stretch for the Reds last season and has breakout potential in his first full big-league season in 2026.

Lockridge has been held out of Cactus League action since suffering a rotator cuff contusion Thursday when he dove back into the bag, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The good news is Lockridge avoided structural damage in the shoulder and he is expected to return to games in 3-5 days. Lockridge is off to a fantastic start this spring, going 6-for-11 with two home runs, one stolen base an a 2:1 BB:K. He's expected to open the season as a reserve outfielder for the Brewers.

Marsh (hand) will start in right field and bat third in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game versus the Rays.

Marsh jammed his hand into the ground during sliding practice last week, forcing him to miss a few contests. He's ready to go now, though, and has ample time to get ramped up for Opening Day later this month.

The Marlins reassigned White (oblique) to minor-league camp Tuesday.

White was a long shot to make the Opening Day roster, anyway, but a recent oblique strain sealed his fate. He is not expected to be game-ready until late March, so White could get a late start to the minor-league season. The top prospect collected a 2.31 ERA and 145:51 K:BB over 89.2 innings across three minor-league stops in 2025.

Sheehan has yet to appear in a Cactus League game due to an illness he contracted at the start of Dodgers camp, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

It seems Sheehan is over the illness, but he's still getting ramped up after it put him behind schedule. It's unclear when the right-hander will make his spring training debut, but he should have enough time to prep for Opening Day. Sheehan is a heavy favorite to open the season in the Dodgers' rotation after he posted a 2.82 ERA and 89:22 K:BB over 73.1 regular-season innings in 2025.

Lindor (hand) played catch Monday and will go through defensive drills and other baseball activities Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

The Mets are hoping that Lindor will be able to swing a bat Tuesday or Wednesday as he continues to work his way back from hamate bone surgery. It likely would be dry swings initially before he gradually ramps up his progression. Lindor has a chance to be ready by Opening Day for the Mets but cannot afford any bumps in the road in his recovery.
