ORIOLES TEAM NEWS CENTER

Ryan Mountcastle - SS

Baltimore Orioles

Orioles optioned INF/OF Ryan Mountcastle, RHP David Hess, OF Cedric Mullins and NF Ramón Urías to Triple-A Norfolk.

Added Mar 19 5:09 pm (EST)

Mountcastle, 23, is considered one of the best hitting prospects in the Orioles' system, but he never really stood a shot of making the Opening Day roster and hit just .235/.235/.412 with one home run in 34 plate appearances in the Grapefruit League. He should make his MLB debut at some point this summer, and his power makes him intriguing in deeper formats.

J. Hicks - RP

STL

Jordan Hicks had a setback in his Tommy John rehab before deciding to opt out of the 2020 season.

Hicks, a Type 1 diabetic, was considering sitting out anyway, but his arm made the decision easier for him. Originally hopeful of returning from surgery right after the original All-Star break, he dealt with a bout of inflammation in his elbow that made it unlikely that he'd be back until late August or September. He should be back and ready to compete for the closer's role next spring.

J. deGrom - SP

NYM

Jacob deGrom left an intrasquad appearance after one inning Tuesday due to back tightness.

The Mets have yet to provide further information on deGrom's status and probably won't until he is reevaluated on Wednesday. The back-to-back National League Cy Young Award winner is currently lined up to start on Opening Day -- July 24 against the Braves -- but he may not be stretched out enough to handle that assignment, even if this issue proves to be minor. He went three innings in his last intrasquad appearance, and Tuesday's outing was probably supposed to stretch at least five frames.

Y. Hirano - RP

SEA

Mariners placed RHP Yoshihisa Hirano on the 10-day injured list.

Hirano hadn't been at camp at any point, leaving his status uncertain. He was one of the candidates to close for the Mariners this year. Matt Magill and Austin Adams look like the better bets right now.

S. Pérez - C

KC

Royals activated catcher Salvador Perez from the 10-day injured list.

Perez was asymptomatic after testing positive for COVID-19. He's likely to be awfully rusty after missing all of last season following Tommy John surgery and being limited to 10 days of workouts with the Royals in summer camp, but he'll likely be behind the plate on Opening Day anyway.

W. Buehler - SP

LA

Walker Buehler threw one simulated inning Sunday and is slated for two-plus innings in his next appearance.

Buehler probably isn't going to be ready to throw five innings during the first week or two of the season. He seemed like a top-six SP in a 162-game season, but given that he's a bit behind and he started slow last season, he's not quite as good of a bet for this sprint.

A. Pruitt - SP

HOU

Astros manager Dusty Baker says that Austin Pruitt, Brad Peacock and Ryan Pressley are "ailing."

Baker didn't elaborate from there. With Jose Urquidy on the IL and Josh James still iffy to be ready to go, Pruitt figured to open the season in the rotation, making him a sleeper option in mixed leagues. That seems like it's on hold for now.

J. Verlander - SP

HOU

Justin Verlander threw five scoreless innings and struck out six in an intrasquad game Tuesday.

Verlander was up to 67 pitches today, which is important since he threw just 44 pitches in his previous outing. He'll work one more prior to his expected Opening Day assignment, and hopefully he'll be ready to throw 90+ pitches when it counts.

Juan Soto and Victor Robles are expected back with the Nationals by Thursday.

Soto and Robles been isolating after being exposed to someone with COVID-19. They've missed a week of workouts, but barring something unforeseen, both should be ready for Opening Day.
