Dillon Maples - RP

Chicago Cubs

Cubs optioned RHP Dillon Maples to Triple-A Iowa.

Added Mar 26 8:05 pm (EST)

Maples, 27, has shown tremendous swing-and-miss stuff in the minors, and while he's flashed that brilliance with the Cubs in 29 MLB games, he's also really struggled to locate his arsenal. He'll be an up-and-down arm whenever the 2020 campaign begins for Chicago.

S. Kingery - 2B

PHI

Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Scott Kingery, Tommy Hunter, Hector Neris and Ranger Suarez were all placed on the COVID-19 injured list.

The Phillies announced previously that the four players had been placed on the IL, but they didn't provide any further details. Rules prevent the club from saying the IL stints are COVID-19 related, but Breen has been able to confirm that they are. It doesn't necessarily mean that any or all of the players have tested positive, rather it could be that they're showing symptoms or have had contact with an infected person.

S. Domínguez - RP

PHI

Phillies manager Joe Girardi revealed Thursday that Seranthony Dominguez (elbow) has yet to undergo Tommy John surgery.

Tommy John surgery was recommended for Dominguez back in March, but he's had problems leaving his native Dominican Republic and returning to the United States to undergo the operation and it's unclear when he might finally go under the knife. With the delay, he now might not be ready to pitch again until 2022.

BOS

Red Sox added C Jonathan Lucroy to their 60-man player pool.

Lucroy was not initially included in the pool, but the non-roster invitee now is. He's effectively the Red Sox' No. 3 catcher.

C. Mlodzinski - SP

PIT

Pirates signed supplemental first-round pick RHP Carmen Mlodzinski.

Jim Callis of MLB.com says that Mlodzinski will receive a signing bonus of $2.05 million, which is about $300,000 under slot. There are questions as to whether Mlodzinski can ultimately start, but when he's at his best his stuff can be nasty. Callis says that the Pirates have also signed second-round pick Jared Jones for $2.2 million, giving him a significantly above-slot deal in order to keep the high schooler away from the University of Texas.

G. Cole - SP

NYY

Gerrit Cole threw three innings in a simulated game Thursday and worked at 96-99 mph on the gun, according to pitching coach Matt Blake.

Cole isn't entering the restart with any limitations. If all goes as planned, Cole will face off against Max Scherzer and the Nationals on Opening Night three weeks from today.

SF

Free agent Tyson Ross has joined his brother in saying he's sitting out the season.

Nationals starter Joe Ross said earlier this week that he was opting out. Ross was in camp with the Giants on a minor league deal, but he was released last week.

J. Quintana - SP

CHI

Jose Quintana required surgery on his left thumb after getting hurt washing his dishes at home, and he won't resume his throwing program for another two weeks.

He needed a nerve repaired in his thumb, and he required five stitches afterwards. One imagines this will put Quintana at least three or four weeks behind at the beginning of the season. This should ensure that Tyler Chatwood opens up in the Cubs' rotation, with Alec Mills becoming the favorite to move into the fifth spot.

B. Drury - RF

TOR

Blue Jays placed infielder-outfielder Brandon Drury on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 30.

Drury, RHP Elvis Luciano, RHP Hector Perez and OF Jonathan Davis are going on the IL with undisclosed issues. Drury is slated to be a part-time player for the Blue Jays this season. He was a disappointment last year, hitting just .218/.262/.380 in 447 plate appearances.
