Kyle Wright - RP

Atlanta Braves

Kyle Wright pitched five innings of one-run ball Thursday in the Braves' 5-3 victory over the Tigers.

Added Mar 12 4:50 pm (EST)

Wright has made a strong bid to stay in the rotation competition with his 2.03 ERA and 15/4 K/BB ratio in 13 1/3 innings this spring. He's still probably behind Felix Hernandez and Sean Newcomb for now, but he's definitely an NL-only sleeper.

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.

PIT

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.

C. Allen - RP

TEX

T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com writes that Cody Allen (forearm) has been throwing at Globe Life Field during the COVID-19 shutdown.

Allen was signed to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training in February, but was limited to just four appearances with an ERA of 11.25 in the Cactus League before the shutdown. Once an upper-echelon closer, Allen struggled the last two seasons, and posted an ugly 6.26 ERA in 25 games with the Angels before being released in June while getting his walking papers from the Twins a month later from the Twins without making an appearance. It's unlikely Allen makes a fantasy impact in 2020 if/when the season begins, but he could get a chance to make the Texas bullpen to begin the delayed campaign.

D. Mengden - RP

OAK

Daniel Mengden told Brodie Brazil of NBC Sports Bay Area last week that he's "about 95 percent" after February elbow surgery.

Mengden required arthroscopic surgery in mid-February to remove bone spurs from his right elbow, but he's already been throwing all of his pitches in bullpen sessions. The right-hander likely would have missed the first two months of the season if it took place as originally scheduled, but he should be good to go whenever games are eventually played. Mengden posted a 4.83 ERA in 59 1/3 innings between the rotation and bullpen for the A's last season.

J. Kang - 3B

FA

Jung Ho Kang will serve a one-year suspension from the Korea Baseball Organization in addition to 300 hours of community service.

Kang was originally looking at a three-year suspension for his three DUI arrests when he recently asked to be taken off the KBO's retirement list. It turns out he'll be able to return sooner, but the suspension only begins once he actually signs with a team. Kang turned 33 in April and batted just .169/.222/.395 over 185 plate appearances with the Pirates last year before being given his release. His former team, the Nexen Heroes, still hold his rights in the KBO and Kang will need permission from them in order to sign with another team.
