Nolan Gorman Taking Reps At Different Positions

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Gorman, the team's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has been taking repetitions at second base this spring and could see time in the corner outfield spots as well.

Edward Cabrera Dealing With An Inflamed Nerve

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Edward Cabrera is reportedly dealing with an inflamed nerve in his right (throwing) biceps.

Jordan Hicks "Ready To Go"

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jordan Hicks (elbow) is "ready to go," according to Cardinals bullpen coach Bryan Eversgerd.

Anthony Bass The Early Front-Runner For Saves

Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly went to relief pitcher Anthony Bass often when discussing the team's closer role on Wednesday, according to Craig Mish of the Miami Herald.

Harold Ramirez Designated For Assignment

Miami Marlins outfielder Harold Ramirez was designated for assignment on Wednesday morning to make roster room for reliever John Curtiss, who was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays.
