Milwaukee Brewers infielder Keston Hiura was designated for assignment on Monday, while outfield prospect Sal Frelick was reassigned to minor-league camp.

Bobby Dalbec, Jorge Alfaro Optioned To Minors

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Monday. The Red Sox also sent catcher Jorge Alfaro to minor-league camp.

Owen Miller Makes Opening Day Roster

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Owen Miller has made the Opening Day roster. It's a bit surprising, but Miller did play well this spring. He'll serve in a versatile super-utility role for the Brewers.

Joey Votto To Begin Season On Injured List

Cincinnati Reds corner infield prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) isn't expected to return to game action until anytime between April 19-24 due to a slight herniation disc in his back.

Triston Casas Officially Makes Opening Day Roster

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora met with first baseman Triston Casas to tell him that he has made the Opening Day roster.

Triston Casas (1B, BOS) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 215 CURRENT ADP: ~235 overall ANALYSIS: Casas walked an absurd 20% of the time with the Red Sox last season. He also played in just 27 games, so no, he’s probably not the second coming of Juan Soto. He does have a track record of walking in the minors at a […]
