David Hale - RP

New York Yankees

Yankees re-signed RHP David Hale to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Added Apr 04 10:12 am (EST)

The right-hander was technically released by the Yankees on Thursday, but it appears to have only been a procedural move to re-write the language in his contract concerning his opt-out clause. In the old contract, the 32-year-old hurler had the option to opt-out four days before the end of spring training. Under the new deal, he gets that option five days before the new season begins -- whenever that date is. In the meantime, Hale is working out at home while waiting for spring training to restart. Hale registered a 3.11 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 23/7 K/BB ratio across 37 2/3 innings for the Yankees in 2019.

C. Walker - 1B

ARI

Christian Walker has been diagnosed with a right groin strain.

The Diamondbacks are calling Walker "day-to-day" for now, but groin strains are often multi-week injuries and Arizona's first scheduled regular season game is just 10 days away. Walker is projected to serve as the D-backs' primary first baseman during MLB's planned 2020 campaign after posting an .825 OPS with 29 home runs, 73 RBI, and 86 runs scored over 152 games last year. Jake Lamb and Kevin Cron are among the options to fill in at first base if Walker isn't ready to go. Those two had been slated to platoon in the DH role.

B. Workman - RP

BOS

Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke has confirmed that Brandon Workman will open the 2020 season as the team's primary closer.

As expected after Workman delivered a dominant 1.88 ERA with 104 strikeouts over 71 2/3 innings in 2019. He earned 13 saves in the second half, finishing with a total of 16. “I think (Workman), with what he did last year, certainly deserves that role again,” Roenicke said. “I don’t want to say it’s exactly going to be every game that there’s a save situation that he’s in there. It depends on his workload, and how he’s throwing. But to begin with, certainly. He has got the ninth inning right now until something else happens.”

M. Fried - SP

ATL

Max Fried is scheduled to start Tuesday's intrasquad game at Truist Park.

That will line him up to work the Braves' second regular season game on Saturday, July 25 at the Mets. Mike Soroka will handle the first game in New York, with Mike Foltynewicz and Sean Newcomb slotting into the No. 3 and No. 4 spots in Atlanta's season-opening starting rotation. Fried, 26, is a nice middle-round fantasy target as the owner of a 3.83 ERA and 9.5 K/9 through his first 225 1/3 major league innings. He has breakout potential.

C. Pache - CF

ATL

Braves OF prospect Cristian Pache tweaked his ankle during an intrasquad game Monday night in Atlanta.

Pache tried to steal second base as a pinch runner and slid awkwardly, but it apparently looked a lot worse initially than it turned out to be. Braves manager Brian Snitker said after the game that the young outfielder should not be limited in any way for scheduled summer camp workouts on Tuesday. Pache, a consensus top-20 overall prospect, will be looking to make his major league debut at some point in 2020.

W. Calhoun - LF

TEX

Willie Calhoun was removed from Monday night's intrasquad game at Globe Life Field due to a tight hip flexor.

The Rangers are calling his removal "precautionary," but any injury at this point has the potential to affect a player's readiness for Opening Day, which is next week. Calhoun will be reevaluated by the Rangers' medical staff on Tuesday. He put up an .848 OPS with 21 home runs over 83 games last season at the major league level and seems primed for a possible breakout in 2020 -- if his health cooperates.

B. Buxton - CF

MIN

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Monday night that the initial exam on Byron Buxton's left foot didn't show anything serious.

Baldelli added that the team is "cautiously optimistic," but Buxton has been sent for imaging tests, and those should reveal the whole picture. The 26-year-old center fielder injured his foot while attempting to chase down a Nelson Cruz fly ball during intrasquad play Monday at Target Field. He was carted off.

R. Chirinos - C

TEX

Imaging taken on Robinson Chirinos' right ankle turned up negative.

Chirinos rolled his ankle in a home plate collision Monday during intrasquad play at Globe Life Field. He'll be further evaluated on Tuesday and could be somewhat compromised for the beginning of the 2020 regular season, which is just 10 days way. The veteran projects as the Rangers' everyday catcher.

A. Nola - SP

PHI

Phillies manager Joe Girardi said Monday that Aaron Nola is "definitely a possibility" for the team's Opening Day start on July 24 against the Marlins.

Nola was late arriving to summer camp after being exposed to someone with COVID-19, but he has cleared all of the necessary hurdles within MLB's testing protocol and he looked sharp in an intrasquad game Monday at Citizens Bank Park. The 27-year-old is being drafted as the 11th starter off the board right now in the average Yahoo league. He registered a 3.87 ERA and 229/80 K/BB ratio in 202 1/3 innings last season.
