The Tigers announced Sunday that Horn (elbow) is scheduled to play catch five times during the upcoming week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Horn is throwing again after undergoing a left elbow arthroscopy during the offseason, but he'll still some time away from getting the green light to pitch in Grapefruit League games. The left-hander still has a minor-league option remaining, so even if he's healthy by the time camp concludes, he'll be sent to Triple-A Toledo if there's no room for him in the big-league bullpen.

The Tigers announced Sunday that Gipson-Long (oblique) has been playing catch daily since reporting to spring training, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

While the right-hander hasn't been shut down from activity entirely as he works his way back from a left oblique strain, he still has multiple checkpoints to hit in the recovery process before making his Grapefruit League debut. Assuming the Tigers plan to have Gipson-Long get stretched out for starting duty, he appears likely to either open the season on the 15-day injured list or in the rotation at Triple-A Toledo.

The Tigers announced Sunday that Darnell (hip) has been playing catch five times a week and is also taking part in a running progression, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Darnell has opened camp behind the team's healthy bullpen candidates after undergoing left hip labral repair surgery in September. The 28-year-old could be ready to get back onto a mound soon, but he still looks like he'll face an uphill battle to win a spot on the Opening Day roster.

The Tigers announced Sunday that Dingler (elbow) is working his way through a throwing progression, but he's taking part in all other baseball activities, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

After a Gold Glove-winning 2025 campaign, Dingler underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow Jan. 28 and is still working his way back to full strength. While the backstop will need to prove he can throw with his usual velocity and distance in order to avoid a stint on the injured list to open the season, Dingler should be able to pick up at-bats at designated hitter during Grapefruit League games until he's cleared for defensive duties.

Manager Skip Schumaker said Sunday that he expects Nimmo to open the season as the Rangers' everyday right fielder and leadoff hitter, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Josh Smith served as Texas' primary leadoff man in 2025, but Nimmo's .350 career OBP and less extreme splits make for a more logical choice at the top of the order. After batting fourth or fifth for much of last season with the Mets, Nimmo will lose out on RBI opportunities with the move, but he could make a push for his first 100-run campaign since 2022 while hitting in front of Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford. The move to right field could prove to be a more challenging adjustment for Nimmo, as he hasn't seen action there since 2020.

Brennen (elbow) agreed to a one-year, major-league contract with the Giants on Sunday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The 28-year-old was limited to 159 plate appearances between Triple-A and the majors last season with the Guardians, as he underwent Tommy John surgery in June and then required sports hernia surgery in September. A healthy Brennan should serve as a fourth outfielder for the Giants.

The Giants placed Wick (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Sunday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The transaction was fully expected, as San Francisco signed Wick earlier this weekend knowing the right-hander would miss the entire 2026 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 33-year-old's contract includes a club option for 2027, so the Giants will closely monitor his rehab before deciding whether to retain him this winter. Wick hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022 but was one of the top relievers in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball this past season, turning in a 1.13 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 58:13 K:BB over 47.2 innings.

Moncada reported to spring training Sunday 20 pounds lighter, and he hopes the reduced weight will help him stay healthy, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Moncada re-signed with the Angels on a one-year, $4 million contract in January after posting a .234/.336/.448 slash line with 12 home runs in 84 games last year. The 30-year-old spent time on the injured list with thumb and knee injuries, marking the third straight season in which he's played in fewer than 100 games.

Sborz (shoulder) tossed a bullpen session Saturday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

The 32-year-old righty looks to be healthy for the start of spring training after he was limited to just a handful of minor-league rehab appearances in 2025 after undergoing surgery on his throwing shoulder in November 2024. After the Rangers non-tendered him in November, Sborz re-signed with the organization on a minor-league deal in January. He'll need to regain his pre-surgery velocity and command in order to make a serious run at a spot in the Opening Day bullpen.

Bernardino (lat) faced outfielder Zac Veen as part of a live batting practice session Sunday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Bernardino's ability to face hitters within the first week of spring training suggests that he's made a full recovery from the left lat strain that forced him to the injured list this past September. The Red Sox shipped the veteran reliever to the Rockies this offseason, and he'll likely head into 2026 as his new team's top option against left-handed hitters. The southpaw has limited lefties to a .270 wOBA over his four-year big-league career.
