White Sox's Donn Roach: Gets starting nod for spring opener
Roach will toe the rubber for the White Sox's first Cactus League game Saturday against the Dodgers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Roach will get the starting nod for the White Sox first game, though it's unlikely to mean much moving forward. The right-hander looked good at Triple-A to start last season, but he faded when he spent the second half in Japan. As things stand now, he is likely an organizational depth arm.

Athletics' Donn Roach: Sent to Nashville
Roach was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
The 26-year-old journeyman arm is another 40-man roster casualty in Oakland's flood of Thursday moves. Roach's career 5.77 ERA in 39 career big-league innings reflects his lack of fantasy value.

Tigers' Donn Roach: Designated for assignment

Mariners' Donn Roach: Favorite for last bullpen job
Roach is the heavy favorite to win the last bullpen job, if the Mariners don't acquire a more experienced right-handed reliever, the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Roach has had a fantastic spring, allowing only two earned runs in 15.2 innings with 15 strikeouts and no walks. Mostly a starter in the minors, Roach, 26, has appeared in only 17 major league games, 15 as a reliever. The Mariners have talked to other teams about trading for a right-hander, but Roach has impressed. "Obviously, Donn Roach has been the surprise of camp," manager Scott Servais said. "He's thrown the ball very well. As you know, at the end of spring training, there are a lot of transactions, a lot of movement amongst clubs. We could have some additions yet to come in. I don't know." If he makes the team, he'll pitch middle relief.
