    Tigers' Jake Miller: Cut from major-league camp

    The Tigers optioned Miller (hip) to minor-league camp Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Miller is still recovering from surgery on both hips and did not make any Grapefruit League appearances. He will get a late start to the minor-league season, as well, and should eventually land at Double-A Erie.

    Tigers' Drew Sommers: Won't make Opening Day roster

    The Tigers optioned Sommers to minor-league camp Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Sommers managed to yield no hits but two runs in three Grapefruit League innings, as he walked four, hit two batters with a pitch and also threw a wild pitch. The southpaw will operate out of the Triple-A Toledo bullpen to begin the 2026 season.

  • Brewers' Robert Gasser: Goes 2.2 frames Thursday

    Gasser allowed three earned runs over 2.2 innings in Thursday's spring game against the Rockies. He gave up three hits, struck out two batters and walked three.

    Gasser was not particularly sharp Thursday, but he did up the pitch count to 53 after tossing 11 pitches in his spring debut over a week ago. An elbow injury limited Gasser to just two regular-season appearances in 2025, but he finished the season healthy and has stayed so since. He is in the mix with a host of other pitchers competing for spots in Milwaukee's starting rotation.

  • Reds' Leo Balcazar: Sent to minor-league camp

    The Reds optioned Balcazar to minor-league camp Friday.

    Balcazar was added to the Reds' 40-man roster this winter, but he wasn't under real consideration for an Opening Day roster spot. The 21-year-old had a .677 OPS across 51 games with Double-A Chattanooga last season and will head back there to begin the 2026 campaign.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Locked in this spring

    Bauers is 6-for-11 (.545) with a home run, a double, two RBI, two steals and a 1:3 BB:K through four games this spring.

    Bauers has tallied at least one hit in all four contests he has appeared in and has made a couple marks in both the power and speed departments. Bauers can cover both first base and a corner outfield spot, and he is slated to open the season in a reserve role for the Brewers.

  • Reds' Hector Rodriguez: Optioned to minors camp

    The Reds optioned Rodriguez to minor-league camp Friday.

    Rodriguez went 2-for-13 with one stolen base across nine Cactus League contests. The outfielder will turn just 22 next week but could play a role with the Reds at some point later this season.

  • Jose Franco SP | CIN

    Reds' Jose Franco: Cut from major-league camp

    The Reds optioned Franco to minor-league camp Friday.

    After getting a spot on the 40-man roster earlier this offseason, Franco impressed in Cactus League play with an 8:1 K:BB over 4.2 innings. He should open the 2026 campaign in the rotation at Triple-A Louisville and could debut in the big leagues later on in the summer.

  • Edwin Arroyo SS | CIN

    Reds' Edwin Arroyo: Heads to minors camp

    The Reds optioned Arroyo to minor-league camp Friday.

    Arroyo netted a spot on the Reds' 40-man roster this offseason, but he wasn't under real consideration to crack the Opening Day roster. The 22-year-old will get his first taste of Triple-A Louisville this season.

  • Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Shines in spring game

    Mitchell went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, four RBI and a walk in Thursday's spring game against the Rockies.

    Mitchell had recorded only five plate appearances all spring prior to Thursday, but he showed no signs of rust, opening the contest with a homer and reaching twice afterward. Health has always been the biggest question for Mitchell, who did not take the field after April last year due to a shoulder injury that ultimately required surgery. He is healthy now, and if he remains so he is slated to open the season as the primary option in center field for the Brewers.

  • Reds' Julian Aguiar: Sent to minor-league camp

    The Reds optioned Aguiar to minor-league camp Friday.

    Aguiar is back healthy after Tommy John surgery, but he was always a good bet to begin the season in the minors. The 24-year-old will begin the season in the rotation at Triple-A Louisville.
