04/02/2015 MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Santiago, Ramon

INF Ramon Santiago (fractured left collarbone) was injured making a diving catch March 14 while playing second base and will be out for at least 10 weeks. He was playing well enough as a non-roster player to be a strong candidate for a spot on the Opening Day roster. He was released so the Blue Jays could avoid paying a $100,000 bonus. But he could be re-signed.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Viciedo, Dayan

OF Dayan Viciedo was given his release after he was told he would not open the season with Toronto. He was signed to a minor-league deal early in spring training after LF Michael Saunders injured his knee. Saunders is expected to return much sooner than expected and OF Kevin Pillar has played well, so there was not a spot for Viciedo, who batted .233/.250/.326 in 15 Grapefruit League games.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Saunders, Michael

LF Michael Saunders will open the season on the disabled list despite progressing more quickly than expected after undergoing surgery for a torn left meniscus on Feb. 27. He has been playing in minor-league games but not running the bases. He could be available by mid-April. He was injured when he stepped on a sprinkler head while shagging fly balls on Feb. 25.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Los Angeles Angels Wolf, Randy

LHP Randy Wolf, 38, was signed by the Blue Jays to a minor league contract as potential depth for the rotation. In his first Grapefruit League start March 28, he allowed four hits, two walks and four runs in 2 2/3 innings in a loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2014, he was 1-3 with a 5.26 ERA in six games, including five starts, with Miami.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Baltimore Orioles Matusz, Brian

LHP Brian Matusz still has an uncertain role in the bullpen. The former starter struggled for parts of last season and has been rumored to be a trade chip by the club. Last season, Matusz was 2-3 with a 3.48 ERA. He has pitched well through most of spring training and has even started a few games as Baltimore was possibly showcasing him to potential suitors. Matusz has made it clear that his goal is to get back into a starting rotation, whether it is with the Orioles or elsewhere.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Baltimore Orioles Bundy, Dylan

RHP Dylan Bundy, 23, could start his highly anticipated career at the major league level this season. Bundy, who is one of the franchise's most touted prospects, successfully returned from Tommy John surgery late last season and did not show any ill effects. He will start the season in the minors to work on his mechanics and gain strength, but he will likely be part of the Orioles' bullpen, or possibly even the rotation, at some point this season. Bundy already pitched in two games for the Orioles during the 2012 season and was not overwhelmed by the experience. The next time he arrives in Baltimore, Bundy is expected to help anchor the pitching staff for years to come.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Baltimore Orioles De Aza, Alejandro

OF Alejandro De Aza has the power and speed to find an everyday role with the Orioles this season. The club acquired him in August for RHPs Miguel Chalas and Mark Blackmar. De Aza finished with a slash line of .293/.341/.537, three homers and 10 RBIs in 20 games, helping Baltimore make a run to the American League Championship Series. He will likely start in left field and bat leadoff against right-handed pitchers. De Aza does need to improve defensively, but he could become the perfect complement to center fielder Adam Jones.
 


-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Delabar, Steve

RHP Steve Delabar was surprised and disappointed when he was sent to Triple-A Buffalo on March 26, but it was an indication of how well RHP Miguel Castro and RHP Roberto Osuna, both rookies, have pitched. "I thought I was going to be a big part of this 'pen to start and it's a big shock to me," Delabar said. "I feel like I'm a major-league player and I can help a bullpen. I thought I would be in this bullpen, helping this major-league team." After going to the 2013 All-Star Game, Delabar struggled last season and finished at Buffalo. Delabar was 3-0 with a 4.91 ERA in 30 games with Toronto in 2014, allowing 19 hits and 19 walks while striking out 21 in 25 2/3 innings. In the Grapefruit League in 2015, he had a 3.86 ERA in seven games, allowing two home runs. He allowed one walk and struck out nine but his split-fingered pitch still needed work.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Wilkins, Andy

1B Andy Wilkins was claimed off waivers from the Chicago White Sox March 29 and was assigned on option to Triple-A Buffalo. The 26-year-old batted .333 with six RBIs in 14 spring games. The left-handed hitter batted .293/.338/.558 with 30 homers and 85 RBIs with Triple-A Charlotte in 2014. "He's had so much success we wanted to get a look at him," assistant GM Tony LaCava said of the 2010 fifth-round pick. He made his major-league debut in 17 games with the Chicago White Sox in 2014, hitting .140/.178/186. Wilkins was designated for assignment after the White Sox claimed RHP Kyle Drabek from the Blue Jays.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Hutchison, Drew

RHP Drew Hutchison was selected to start on Opening Day at Yankee Stadium on April 6. RHP R.A. Dickey had started the two previous Opening Days. The 24-year-old will be the franchise's youngest Opening Day starter. "It's really exciting. Opening Day is special," Hutchison said. "At the end of day, it's a long game. But as we all know, it's Opening Day. The excitement, the energy -- everything that goes into it is exciting." Hutchison was 11-13 with a 4.48 ERA in 32 starts last season after returning from Tommy John surgery. He was 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in four spring training appearances. "He answered the big question last year coming off surgery; he can do this," manager John Gibbons said. "He's bounced back and there's no looking back, and it's a great honor for him. I think he'll handle it well."
 


-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Baltimore Orioles Lough, David

OF David Lough has some lingering back issues and will start the season on the disabled list. He struggled for parts of spring training, going 5-for-27 (.185) before the injury forced him out. Manager Buck Showalter likes Lough's versatility and defensive skills, and he still should be an option in the outfield.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Baltimore Orioles Tillman, Chris

RHP Chris Tillman was named the Opening Day starter by Orioles manager Buck Showalter and he should once again anchor the rotation. He had a breakout season in 2014, going 13-6 with a 3.34 ERA in a career-high 34 starts and he has embraced a leadership role with the club while growing into a No. 1 pitcher.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Baltimore Orioles Gausman, Kevin

RHP Kevin Gausman has pitched well enough this spring to land one of the five spots in Baltimore's starting rotation. Last season, Gausman emerged as one of Baltimore's most reliable pitchers, going 7-7 with a 3.57 ERA in 20 starts. However, Orioles manager Buck Showalter has hinted that Gausman also has the versatility to work out of the bullpen if needed -- something he did effectively last year at times.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Baltimore Orioles Wieters, Matt

C Matt Wieters (Tommy John surgery on right elbow) hoped to make it back for Opening Day, but elbow tendinitis popped up in mid-March and slowed him. He'll begin the season on the disabled list and could miss the month of April.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Travis, Devon

2B Devon Travis, who played at Double-A last season, earned the nod as Opening Day second baseman. INF Maicer Izturis, a front-runner early in spring training, suffered a groin injury that pushed him to the disabled list to start the season. INF Ramon Santiago, who was making a good run at a job, suffered a broken collarbone. The Blue Jays gave up OF Anthony Gose to obtain Travis from the Detroit Tigers during the offseason. Travis hit .353/.397/.463 in 21 spring-training games and played better defense than expected.



-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Ramirez, Erasmo

RHP Erasmo Ramirez, who was acquired from Seattle on Tuesday in a trade, will begin the season in the rotation, with RHP Alex Cobb, LHP Drew Smyly and LHP Matt Moore headed to the disabled list. There is no guarantee for Ramirez's role once the injured starters get healthy, but president Matt Silverman said he will pitch "meaningful innings."

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Smyly, Drew

LHP Drew Smyly threw live batting practice Wednesday, the first time he had faced hitters this spring. Smyly has been slowed by shoulder tendinitis but is progressing so well that the Rays are confident he will need to miss just one or two starts.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Colome, Alex

RHP Alex Colome will face hitters in a live batting practice session Friday for the first time since contracting pneumonia. The Rays figure Colome won't ready to be activated from the disabled list until late April.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Souza, Steven

RF Steven Souza has just 23 at-bats in the major leagues but already has a highlight for the ages. His spectacular catch with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning preserved a no-hitter for Washington Nationals RHP Jordan Zimmermann last year on the final day of the season against the Miami Marlins. The Rays acquired Souza in an offseason trade and believe the 25-year-old's career is ready to take off after he hit .350 with 18 home runs and 26 stolen bases in just 96 games with Triple-A Syracuse last season.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Jennings, Desmond

LF Desmond Jennings has never lived up to the hype he generated while coming up through the Rays' farm system and is being moved to left field this season so OF Kevin Kiermaier can play center field. Jennings hit just .244 with a .319 on-base percentage in 123 games last season, most of them as the leadoff hitter, while adding 10 home runs and 15 stolen bases. Now 28, he is past the point of being a young player, and it is looking like he will have nothing more than an ordinary career.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Odorizzi, Jake

RHP Jake Odorizzi had a solid rookie year last season, going 11-13 with a 4.13 ERA in 31 starts. Particularly impressive was Odorizzi's 174 strikeouts in 168 innings, with just 59 walks. He also allowed 156 hits, which were less than one per inning. A split-finger pitch learned from RHP Alex Cobb during spring training last year gave Odorizzi something off speed to disrupt the hitters' timing and became a strikeout pitch as the season went on. There is seemingly room for improvement, too, as Odorizzi is just 25.



-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Baltimore Orioles Hardy, J.J.

SS J.J. Hardy (left shoulder strain) starts the season on the disabled list. The Orioles want to give the shoulder, which he hurt diving late last week, time to heal. This doesn't seem to be a long-term situation, and he should return by some point in April.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Yankees Refsnyder, Rob

2B Rob Refsnyder remains someone on the rise for the Yankees even though he will open this season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Yankees knew Refsnyder could hit and he validated that by batting .333 (13-for-39) in spring training. However, the fielding is still a work in progress for the converted outfielder. Refsnyder made six errors in spring training, but INF Brendan Ryan's calf injury might put him in the mix for opening day. If Refsnyder is not there for the season opener, he likely won't appear in New York unless incumbent Stephen Drew falters or gets hurt.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Yankees Lindgren, Jacob

LHP Jacob Lindgren was the Yankees' first pick (55th overall) last season out of Mississippi State and ascended quickly through the farm system. By the end of last season, Lindgren rose from the rookie league to Double-A Trenton by striking out 48 hitters in 24 2/3 innings. In eight exhibition appearances, Lindgren had 10 strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings and was among the last cuts in spring training. While ticketed for the minors, if Lindgren pitches as well as last season or even better, he could make his major league debut this season.

-----------------------------------------------



MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Vazquez, Christian

C Christian Vazquez will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on April 2. Vazquez felt discomfort in his right elbow after a March 13 game. He caught in a minor league game March 27 but was instructed to throw only back to the pitcher. An MRI indicated concern about the elbow, and Vazquez visited Dr. James Andrews on April 1 for a second opinion. The recovery time for non-pitchers from elbow ligament replacement surgery is usually nine months, which would allow Vazquez to return for the 2016 season. Last season as a rookie, Vazquez batted .240 with one home run in 55 games for the Red Sox. Boston placed him on the 60-day disabled list March 30.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Castillo, Rusney

OF Rusney Castillo, who appeared in 10 games for the Red Sox after signing and playing in the minors last year, was supposed to battle Mookie Betts for the starting center field job. However, an oblique injury held Castillo back as Betts flourished. Then Castillo settled into a battle for right field with Shane Victorino, and if Victorino was healthy, which he appears to be, there was a real chance Castillo could start the season in Triple-A.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Yankees Warren, Adam

RHP Adam Warren was officially named the Yankees' fifth starter Wednesday, a week after general manager Brian Cashman said he was the favorite for the role. Warren is 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA in five spring starts and has 11 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Yankees Tanaka, Masahiro

RHP Masahiro Tanaka's final start did not go great from a statistical standpoint as he allowed three runs and seven hits while throwing 76 pitches Monday. More important than numbers was that Tanaka's spring training ended with a 3.07 ERA, one walk in 14 2/3 innings without difficulties. "He got through all the hurdles," manager Joe Girardi said. "I didn't really ever feel we needed to give him an extra day or be cautious. He never reported any trouble with his arm or feeling stiff after more than normal. So I felt that was all good stuff."

-----------------------------------------------

[to top of second column]

MLB Note - New York Yankees Ellsbury, Jacoby

CF Jacoby Ellsbury returned to live game action Wednesday and got in three at-bats after being held out of games for the past two weeks with a strained right oblique. On Tuesday, Ellsbury had two hits in five at-bats in a minor league game and in spring training is batting .200.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Yankees Ryan, Brendan

SS Brendan Ryan left Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay with a strained right calf and seems likely to open the season on the disabled list. Ryan had a mid-back strain earlier in spring training and wound up getting 24 at-bats in nine games.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Yankees Gregorius, Didi

SS Didi Gregorius could have played Wednesday, but the Yankees wanted to go through drills as opposed to playing in games. Gregorius initially injured his wrist Saturday, but the injury was not serious as he took batting practice, went through fielding drills Wednesday and will likely play in Thursday's game in Lakeland, Fla. against the Detroit Tigers.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Yankees Eovaldi, Nathan

RHP Nathan Eovaldi, who led the majors in hits allowed last season, will be the fourth starter. He labored through 89 pitches Sunday but overall the results have been good as he works to mix in secondary pitches more often.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Yankees Nova, Ivan

RHP Ivan Nova (Tommy John surgery in April 2014) should be able to return at some point in 2015.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Yankees Capuano, Chris

LHP Chris Capuano (right quadriceps strain) left his March 11 start. He likely will open the season on the disabled list.
 


-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Yankees Pirela, Jose

INF Jose Pirela (concussion) was hurt when he crashed into the center field wall on March 22. He was experiencing dizziness and was seen by a team doctor on March 24. He will swing a bat on April 2 but appears to be a long shot for opening day.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Franklin, Nick

2B Nick Franklin (strained left oblique) will begin the season on the 15-day disabled list. He is likely out through the end of April.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Cobb, Alex

RHP Alex Cobb (right forearm tendinitis) will begin the season on the 15-day disabled list. He is expected to miss just one or two starts.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Colome, Alex

RHP Alex Colome (pneumonia) will begin the season on the 15-day disabled list. He is expected to be activated in mid-April.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Moore, Matt

LHP Matt Moore (Tommy John surgery in April 2014) will begin the season on the 60-day disabled list. He is tentatively set to return in June.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays Smyly, Drew

LHP Drew Smyly (left shoulder tendinitis) will begin the season on the 15-day disabled list. He is expected to miss just one or two starts.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Tampa Bay Rays McGee, Jake

LHP Jake McGee (arthroscopic left elbow surgery in December 2014) will begin the season on the 15-day disabled. He could be activated by early May.
 


-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Pompey, Dalton

CF Dalton Pompey leads an array of Toronto rookies. After a rapid rise through the system last year, the 22-year-old showed enough in a September trial to earn a shot at the regular center fielder's job this season, replacing CF Colby Rasmus, who signed with the Houston Astros. Pompey is a superb defensive player who also has a solid approach at the plate. He was batting .333/.390/.519 after 19 Grapefruit League games. Last season, he batted .317/.392/.469 at Class A Dunedin, Double-A New Hampshire and Triple-A Buffalo. That earned him a September trial at Toronto, where he hit .231/.302/.436 in 17 games.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Castro, Miguel

RHP Miguel Castro burst into prominence with a sensational spring training. The 20-year-old's fastball was timed at 100 mph. With a plus changeup at 83 mph and a decent slider, Castro was baffling hitters. The native of the Dominican Republic, who is 6-foot-5 and 190 pounds, figures to be a reliever this season, but he has been a starter and that could be his future. He was 8-3 with a 2.68 ERA in 16 games (15 starts) last season at short-season Class A Vancouver, Class A Lansing and Class A Dunedin.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Reyes, Jose

SS Jose Reyes played poor defense last season. It was an issue that often was overlooked during the offseason because the Blue Jays had so many other holes to fill. Shoulder and hamstring problems might have contributed to Reyes' defensive woes, but he has been a below-average fielder since 2009 with diminishing range, particularly to his left. He showed some occasional improvement during spring training. Reyes has made his name on offense, and he is still one of the better leadoff hitters. He batted .287/.328/.398 in 143 games in 2014, with 30 stolen bases in 32 attempts, a slight decline from 2012 when he batted .291/.341/.435 and had 40 steals in 51 attempts with Miami. He cannot afford to decline much more.



-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Stroman, Marcus

RHP Marcus Stroman (left knee surgery in March 2015) had a torn anterior cruciate ligament repaired March 19. He is out for the season.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Toronto Blue Jays Cecil, Brett

LHP Brett Cecil (left shoulder inflammation) didn't make his first Grapefruit League appearance until March 26, but he threw one scoreless inning that day and again March 29 and March 31. He is expected to be ready for Opening Day as the closer.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Barnes, Matt

RHP Matt Barnes came to camp as a starter and appeared ready to leave Florida as a member of the Boston bullpen. Barnes, 24, is one of the club's top prospects. Slowed by a bout with food poisoning late in camp, Barnes had a 5.25 ERA in seven Grapefruit League games through April 1. He appeared in five games in relief for Boston last year, recording a 4.00 ERA. In 23 games (22 starts) for Triple-A Pawtucket in 2014, Barnes went 8-9 with 3.95 ERA.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Sandoval, Pablo

3B Pablo Sandoval's numbers have been going down in recent years -- terrific World Series stats aside. While people blame conditioning every time the bulky veteran doesn't get a hit, Sandoval has seen his on-base-plus-slugging percentage go from .909 in 2011 to .789, .758 and .739 the last three years. His slugging percentage, .552 in 2011, dropped to .447, .417 and .415.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Ortiz, David

DH David Ortiz took to Derek Jeter's new athlete's website, The Players' Tribune, to defend himself against those who think he has been a steroid user. "In some people's minds, I will always be considered a cheater," he wrote, "and that's bull----. Mark my words: Nobody in MLB history has been tested for PEDs more than me. You know how many times I've been tested since 2004? More than 80. They say these tests are random. If it's really random, I should start playing the damn lottery. Some people still think the testing is a joke. It's no joke. Ten times a season these guys come into the clubhouse or my home with their briefcases. I have never failed a single one of those tests and I never will."
 


-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Napoli, Mike

1B Mike Napoli, whose 2014 season ended early because of hand surgery and whose winter was spent having and recovering from painful facial surgery aimed at helping him sleep, battled some minor things in camp. However, he also hit a broken-bat home run. "I watched the video on it," Napoli said. "It looked like I got the barrel to it. My at-bat before, when I shot the ball to right field, he kind of got in a little bit on me. That's probably where it broke there."

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Leon, Sandy

C Sandy Leon was acquired by the Red Sox from the Nationals after starting C Christian Vazquez was lost to an elbow injury. Leon's arrival gave the Red Sox two veteran catchers (Leon and Ryan Hanigan), allowing the club to continue the growth of prized prospect Blake Swihart in the minor leagues. Humberto Quintero was in camp for late competition.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Magee, Brandon

OF Brandon Magee, an NFL linebacker, arrived in the Red Sox's camp after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "As of the now, I don't even know exactly what I'm going to do next week," said Magee, a Sox pick in the 2012 draft. "I'm just taking it day by day to see where it goes." Magee was confident in his baseball ability, saying, "If I can focus on this, I can make it. That's not even a concern."

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Kelly, Joe

RHP Joe Kelly (right biceps tightness) left his March 16 start, and he didn't pitch in a Grapefruit League game March 17-April 1. He didn't believe the ailment was serious, but he is likely to start to the season on the disabled list.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Uehara, Koji

RHP Koji Uehara was down with a hamstring problem that didn't seem to be getting better, making it likely he will be on the disabled list at the start of the season. "I don't know when I'll be back," said Uehara, who hadn't appeared in a game since March 14 and felt the problem during a 30-pitch bullpen session March 30. "It's a day-to-day process. I have to do what I have to do to get ready. If that is the case, if I start on the DL, it will certainly be a disappointment."
 


-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Mets Gee, Dillon

RHP Dillon Gee edged RHP Rafael Montero for the fifth spot in the Mets' rotation. Gee, 28, was the Mets' Opening Day starter in 2014. He was headed for a bullpen role before RHP Zack Wheeler hurt his elbow in spring training. Gee likely will make his first start of the season on the road against the Braves on April 10 or 11. He had a 2.49 ERA in 21 2/3 innings this spring through April 1. He is 40-34 with a 3.91 ERA in 106 career appearances (103 starts) for the Mets.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - New York Mets Montero, Rafael

RHP Rafael Montero is expected to open the season in the bullpen. He pitched six scoreless innings against the Marlins on March 30, and he had a 2.40 ERA this spring through April 1.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Washington Nationals Rendon, Anthony

3B Anthony Rendon (sprained left medial collateral ligament) was injured when he dived for a ball in a March 9 spring training game, and he will open the season on the disabled list. Rendon received second and third opinions that confirmed the MCL injury. The timetable for his return is uncertain.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Houston Astros Petit, Gregorio

INF Gregorio Petit was acquired from the Astros April 1 for cash as insurance for injured shortstops Brendan Ryan and Didi Gregorius. Petit hit .278 with two homers and nine RBIs in 37 games last season.
 


-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Houston Astros Smith, Kyle

RHP Kyle Smith underwent Tommy John surgery in late March, the Houston Chronicle reported. Smith was a Texas League All-Star in 2014, posting a 9-5 record with a 3.95 ERA and 127 strikeouts in 21 games (13 starts). Smith, 22, will miss the entire season.

-----------------------------------------------

MLB Note - Detroit Tigers Verlander, Justin

RHP Justin Verlander, trying to recover from a cramp in his right triceps muscle, resumed throwing Wednesday, but his scheduled regular-season debut in one week is now in question. "It's a little bit of a stretch right now," manager Brad Ausmus said of Verlander's chances to pitch April 8 in Detroit, "but I wouldn't wave it off."
