M. Scherzer - SP

WSH

Max Scherzer (ankle) threw 40 pitches off the mound at about 80-85 percent on Wednesday, per Nationals manager Dave Martinez.

Martinez added that there were no complaints, no issues, and that Scherzer's ankle didn't bother him at all. The veteran ace has been eased along so far in Nats camp this spring after spraining his left ankle two weeks before the first official workout, but he should be all systems go pretty soon. Scherzer is expected to throw one more side session before advancing to live batting practice sometime early next week.

R. Arozarena - LF

TB

Randy Arozarena noted in Rays camp Wednesday that his offseason legal issue is settled.

Arozarena was briefly detained in Mexico back in November on allegations that he tried to take his young daughter from her mother, but he explained Wednesday that it was a "miscommunication" with the mother's family and that "nothing bad came of it." No official charges of any kind were ever filed. The soon-to-be 26-year-old outfielder is being selected around the 55th overall pick right now in the average Yahoo draft after his unbelievable finish to the 2020 regular season and postseason.

F. Peralta - RP

MIL

Freddy Peralta will be stretched out during spring training, according to Brewers manager Craig Counsell.

Peralta may pitch more innings in 2021 than he has in the past as Milwaukee looks to navigate their pitchers' overall workloads in the upcoming season. Many expect Peralta to fill a swingman-type role for the Brewers, and with so many teams considering a six-man rotation, this is a situation worth monitoring. The 24-year-old had a strong, albeit brief, 2020 season, posting a 3.99 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 14.4 K/9 over 29 1/3 innings.

M. Strahm - RP

SD

Matt Strahm is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day as he recovers from the right patellar tendon knee surgery he underwent in October.

Strahm is not expected to throw a bullpen session until at least next week, and he stated that may even be "wishful thinking." After pitching most of 2018 with discomfort while recovering from the same patellar tendon surgery on his opposite knee, Strahm pitched almost all of 2020 in pain before having surgery on his right knee once the Padres got bounced from the playoffs. The 29-year-old stated that while he wants to be ready for the season, he "ultimately" wants to be healthy and around for the postseason. Strahm was one of San Diego's most effective relievers last year, posting a 2.61 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 20 2/3 innings, so the team will be eager to get him back in the fold. That could happen around mid-to-late April.

T. Buttrey - RP

LAA

Angels manager Joe Maddon stated Wednesday that he thinks Ty Buttrey has the potential to be one of the best relievers "in the American League and in baseball."

That is high praise from the Angels skipper. Buttrey is coming off a rough 2020 campaign in which he held a 5.81 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 26 1/3 innings. However, the 27-year-old has shown flashes in the past of being an effective high leverage relief pitcher, posting an 11.0 K/9 and 10.5 K/9 over the two previous seasons. Impressive numbers for a groundball pitcher who has shown the ability to limit the long ball. Buttrey will work in a set-up role behind Angels' closer Raisel Iglesias this season.

J. Abreu - 1B

CWS

Jose Abreu will be held away from White Sox camp for the next several days after testing positive for COVID-19 during the spring training intake process.

White Sox GM Rick Hahn said in a statement that Abreu is "completely asymptomatic" and that the presence of antibodies in additional testing would indicate that he already contracted the virus at some point this winter. Abreu apparently had some mild symptoms in January. The reigning AL MVP is said to be "frustrated" by the situation, but for now it seems like this shouldn't ultimately impact his readiness for Opening Day.

B. Lowe - 2B

TB

Rays manager Kevin Cash stated Wednesday that Brandon Lowe could see time at third base during spring training in order to allow for more flexibility with in-game moves.

Lowe is slated to be the everyday second baseman in Tampa Bay, but additional flexibility is always an asset. The Rays are known to take advantage of minor in-game adjustments, with Cash also mentioning that utility man Mike Brosseau could see time at shortstop. Lowe is already eligible at second base and outfield in fantasy, so the possibility of adding third base as well could be a major boost to his value.

S. Murphy - C

OAK

Sean Murphy (lung) won't hit for another couple of days.

Murphy required two surgeries earlier this month for a collapsed lung, but he's feeling better now and just needs a bit more time to allow some scar tissue to heal. The 26-year-old catcher expects to be ready for Opening Day and could be in line for a true breakout this season after delivering an .821 OPS with seven home runs over 43 games (140 plate appearances) for the A's during the condensed 2020 campaign.
