Cleveland Guardians pitching prospect Franco Aleman (hernia) underwent surgery to repair a hernia in his left hip/groin area, which has a 4-6 week recovery timeline.

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer went 3-for-3 with three RBI in Thursday's 6-5 Grapefruit League win over the Tigers, which included a single, a triple, and his first home run of the spring season. The 22-year-old is now 5-for-11 (.455) in the spring, and although he's a long shot to make the team […]
Baltimore Orioles catching prospect Samuel Basallo hit his first home run of the spring on Thursday in an 11-8 Grapefruit League win over the Blue Jays. The solo blast was a crushed, clearing the scoreboard in center field. He's now 2-for-4 in three spring appearances, but perhaps more notable was that he came off the […]

In a corresponding move, the team designated right-handed pitcher Seth Martinez for assignment, who they claimed off waivers last week.

However, the 23-year-old has begun to transition to first base. Last summer, Soderstrom made just one start behind the dish in the […]
The X-rays came back negative on Tampa Bay Rays infielder Jose Caballero (foot). Caballero was lifted from Thursday's Grapefruit League contest after fouling a ball off his left foot.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said on Wednesday at the NFL Combine that running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) is "doing great" and that he thinks the star RB will be able to participate in "at least parts" of the offseason program. McCaffrey was a bust at the top of fantasy drafts last fall, […]
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) played in his Cactus League debut on Thursday against the division-rival Colorado Rockies as the designated hitter with tape on his right ankle and expects to use the tape through the All-Star break, according to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya. The tape on his ankle on Thursday wasn't […]
The New York Mets signed free-agent veteran right-hander Jose Urena to a minor-league deal on Thursday, and he is already in camp with the team.
