• Moves to IL
    The Cubs placed Taillon (back) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Taillon resumed facing hitters earlier this week, but after failing to pitch in the Cactus League while he recovered from a back strain, he'll need some time to build up before he's ready to make his 2024 debut. He's tentatively scheduled to face hitters again Friday before potentially heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment or pitching in simulated games at extended spring training in Arizona.

  • Goes on IL
    The Blue Jays placed Swanson (forearm) on the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Though he's beginning the season on the IL, Swanson isn't expected to be facing a long-term absence while he recovers from right forearm inflammation. With Swanson joining closer Jordan Romano (elbow) on the IL, the Blue Jays are expected to turn to Yimi Garcia, Chad Green and Tim Mayza to handle most of the higher-leverage innings early in the season.

  • Padres option Adrian Morejon to Triple-A
    Padres optioned LHP Adrian Morejon to Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Morejon was with San Diego for last week’s season-opening series in South Korea, but he’ll head to the minors ahead of the club’s stateside opener. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
  • Yankees add Nick Burdi to Opening Day roster
    Yankees selected the contract of RHP Nick Burdi from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Burdi put together a phenomenal spring to earn a spot in New York’s bullpen mix. The hard-throwing 31-year-old righty has battled injuries throughout his career, but is healthy at the moment. He’ll most likely pitch in middle relief for the Yankees. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees recall Luis Gil from Triple-A
    Yankees recalled RHP Luis Gil from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Gil has been officially added to New York’s season-opening roster and will open the year in the starting rotation following an extremely impressive spring training performance. There’s definitely some appeal here for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago

    The Blue Jays placed Manoah (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Manoah is opening the season on the IL while he recovers from right shoulder inflammation, which kept him from pitching in the Grapefruit League after he made his spring debut Feb. 27. He was able to throw a two-inning, 34-pitch simulated game Wednesday, so his next step could be heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Manoah will likely require multiple starts in the minors to get fully stretched out before the Blue Jays consider activating him from the IL and including in the rotation.

    The Blue Jays placed Jansen (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: With Jansen on the shelf to begin the season, Alejandro Kirk will take over as the Blue Jays' clear No. 1 catcher, while Brian Serven was added to the 40-man roster and will serve as Kirk's understudy. Jansen sustained a small fracture in his right wrist March 15 but could soon resume baseball activities, at which point a clearer target date for his season debut might come into focus.
