Cincinnati Reds outfielder Will Benson could open the season in the minor leagues.

San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Bryan Hoeing (shoulder) is still not throwing. Hoeing is battling shoulder soreness and has yet to throw once during camp.

Elias Pettersson Considered Day-To-Day

Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) is viewed as day-to-day leading up to Saturday's contests against the Vegas Golden Knights.
