B. Guyer - RF

Guyer and left-handed reliever Jerry Blevins were both issued their released before transactions froze. The outfielder known best for being a magnet to pitchers (85 HBP in 517 career games) last played in the majors in 2018 and owns a career slash of .250/.339/.338 in seven seasons with the Indians and Rays.

G. Canning - SP

LAA

Griffin Canning (elbow) has thrown three live batting practice sessions at Angel Stadium and is up to about 55 pitches.

Canning didn't pitch any during Cactus League play due to an ulnar collateral ligament issue, but he resumed throwing off a mound earlier this month. Whether he will be ready to pitch by early July when/if the season begins isn't known at this point.

S. Ohtani - DH

LAA

Shohei Ohtani (elbow) has thrown three live batting practice sessions and is up to about 55 pitches.

Ohtani resumed mound work about a month ago but just recently began throwing at full effort at Angel Stadium as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery. The Angels had been targeting around mid-May for Ohtani's return as a pitcher, so it's looking like he should be ready to serve as a two-way player if the season begins in early July as hoped.

L. Severino - SP

NYY

Luis Severino (elbow) told MLB.com's Bryan Hoch via email that "things have been progressing well" in his recovery from Tommy John surgery.

“I’ve been down in Tampa since the day after I had my surgery,” Severino said. “I do arm bike, dumbbell exercises, and I just follow the routine that [trainers] Timmy [Lentych] and Alfonso [Malaguti] plan out for me. I spend an hour and half with them in the trainer’s room before I move into the gym, every day, five days a week. Things have been progressing well. I’ve been making steady progress -- lifting, doing exercises. Since three months ago -- I think when I first had my surgery -- I feel way better. I’m doing everything I need to do right now so that I can start throwing this summer.’’ Severino -- who had the operation in late February -- will obviously miss the 2020 campaign (if there is one) and could get a late start to the 2021 season.

T. Motter - SS

Taylor Motter has been placed on waivers by the Kiwoom Heroes of the Korea Baseball Organization.

Motter signed with the Heroes back in December, but really struggled during his time with the club with a .114/.135/.200 batting line over 37 plate appearances. He was even demoted to the minors for a time amid some drama on social media. Teams now have seven days to claim him. He would become a free agent after that, but wouldn't be eligible to play for another KBO team this season.

A. Blanco - 2B

MIL

Brewers released INF Andres Blanco.

Blanco was among 30 players released by the Brewers so far, at least from what Jim Goulart of Brewerfan.net was able to compile from MiLB.com. The 36-year-old joined the Brewers on a minor league deal back in January after playing with the Braves Triple-A affiliate last year. He hasn't appeared in the majors since 2017.

D. Thompson - SP

Red Sox released RHP Dylan Thompson.

He's one of 22 cuts that the Red Sox made Friday. None of them look to be a surprise and probably would have been made earlier had spring training not been cut short.

N/A

D. Price - SP

MLB reporter Francys Romero hears that David Price will give $1,000 in June to every Dodgers minor leaguer.

It's an incredibly nice gesture, especially considering that Price hasn't even officially thrown a pitch for the Dodgers yet. The Dodgers have also committed to continue paying their minor leaguers $400 per week through the end of June.

Mets released OF Travis Taijeron.

Taijeron posted a .540 OPS during a cup of coffee with the Mets in 2017. The 31-year-old put up an .860 OPS with 24 home runs at the Triple-A level in 2019.

B. Stewart - RP

CHI

Cubs released RHP Brock Stewart.

Stewart confirmed the news himself on Twitter. The 28-year-old was taken by the Cubs in the Triple-A phase of this past winter's Rule 5 Draft. Stewart holds a career 6.05 ERA over parts of four big league seasons.

C. Asuaje - 2B

CHI

Cubs released 2B Carlos Asuaje.

Asuaje -- who inked a minor league deal back in January -- is one of several cuts that the Cubs made on Thursday. The 28-year-old is a career .240/.312/.329 hitter over parts of three major league seasons.

F. Vázquez - RP

PIT

Felipe Vazquez is facing an additional child pornography charge for sending pornographic pictures of himself to a minor last summer while in St. Louis.

It's believed that the victim is the same juvenile involved in the Pennsylvania and Florida cases. All told, Vazquez is facing over 20 charges involving sex crimes with minors. He is currently on administrative leave from the Pirates and faces possible deportation if found guilty of any/all of the charges.

C. González - RF

SEA

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Mariners are releasing Carlos Gonzalez.

This is not a surprise, as Gonzalez was a longshot to make the roster despite the Mariners lacking in quality outfield depth. The 34-year-old outfield was signed by Seattle to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training, and hit .237 with a .659 OPS in the Cactus League before the COVID-19 shutdown. Gonzalez will be free to link on with another club, but it's unlikely there will be much interest.
