Seiya Suzuki is back! He's over the WBC-induced knee injury, and he'll make his season debut today. It'll be good to have that bat back, and here's hoping he also employs ABS challenges aggressively.
The Dodgers announced they've claimed reliever Grant Holman off waivers from the Diamondbacks. Arizona designated the righty for assignment on Opening Day when they needed a roster spot for a trio of minor league signees who broke camp.
Moore, 33, has logged 689 big league games, all but 18 coming with the Mariners. He's a right-handed hitter with a lifetime .206/.310/.383 batting line, 63 homers and 118 stolen bases in 1922 plate appearances. He hits for low averages against lefties and righties alike, but Moore has above-average pop against opponents of either handedness and walks at better than a 12% clip against lefties.

The Vikings entered the offseason roughly $43 million over the NFL's $301.2 million cap, and before Saturday's agreement, Hockenson was set to have the highest cap number for an NFL tight end this season ($21.3 million). He signed a four-year, $66 million contract extension in August 2023 but tore multiple ligaments in his right knee four months later.
