"Full squad workouts: Most teams have fully begun Spring Training at this point, but a small handful of clubs will be having their first full-squad workout today as position players report to camp. The lone Grapefruit League team to which this applies is the Rays, but the Cactus League in Arizona will see the Guardians, Rockies, Brewers, and Mariners all host their first full-squad workouts today."
"Lopez headed for MRI: Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez is headed for imaging due soreness in his elbow. Lopez is one of the most important cogs in the Twins' rotation but struggled to stay healthy last year, missing time with a Grade 2 strain of the teres major and a late-season forearm strain. The talented 29-year-old now appears to be starting this year's Spring Training off on the wrong foot as well."
"More information about Lopez's status and his potential timeline for a return to throwing should be available in the coming days. If Lopez winds up missing significant time, it will be worth keeping an eye on the Twins to see if they become players for one of the remaining starters on the market like Lucas Giolito or old friend Zack Littell."
Several teams are holding first full-squad Spring Training workouts today, including the Rays in the Grapefruit League and the Guardians, Rockies, Brewers and Mariners in the Cactus League. New faces arriving to camp include Cedric Mullins, Jake McCarthy and Brendan Donovan, and the Mariners will welcome first baseman Josh Naylor after re-signing him. Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez is headed for imaging due to elbow soreness after an injury-plagued season that included a Grade 2 teres major strain and a late-season forearm strain. Further updates on Lopez's timeline for a return to throwing are expected in the coming days. With most external additions largely settled and major trades rarer as Spring Training begins, teams may increasingly turn attention toward contract extensions.
