Allan Castro made waves in the series finale against Columbus, hitting two home runs, including a grand slam, which lifted the WooSox to a win with six RBIs.

Tanner Brown, the junior pitcher for Huntington Beach High, is often overshadowed by teammate Jared Grindlinger, a likely first-round draft pick, yet he has proven his worth with a 1.94 ERA and a save in a recent game.

Jordan Ayala, 16, said he's moving his graduation date up to preserve his arm and take a look at becoming a professional after high school.

Valdez hit .209/.294/.363 across 31 games before sustaining a season-ending dislocation of his left shoulder, which required surgery. He is healthy but no longer had much of a path to playing time on the Pittsburgh infield.

After almost two years of rehab, Patrick Sandoval is back. The idea of paying someone fresh off of Tommy John surgery $18 million to rehab has been met with plenty of criticism, but Sandoval's 529 strikeouts in 536 career innings with an ERA just over 4 can provide some stability if healthy.

Williamson (1-1) takes the mound for the Reds to make his third start this season. In his most recent time out on Monday, the lefty threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings against the Miami Marlins while surrendering three hits.

Logan Reddemann tied a UCLA record with 18 strikeouts in eight innings, showcasing exceptional pitching skills that contributed significantly to the team's victory.

Nastrini, 26, began his professional career in the Dodgers organization. They took him in the fourth round of the 2021 draft, and he worked his way up to Double-A Tulsa.

I felt great taking on different roles. And I think for me this year just getting into a more solidified role, whether it's middle relief, whatever it was back of games, but I think just keeping spirits high, keep working, simplify things, and just keep communicating with our coaches about what needs to get done and game planning and everything along those lines,

Sandlin, 29, has pitched in parts of four big league seasons, primarily suiting up for the Guardians. Cleveland shipped him to Toronto as part of last offseason's Andrés Giménez swap, however. Sandlin wound up pitching only 16 1/3 innings with the Jays, as a lat strain and elbow inflammation led him to spend the bulk of the season on the injured list. Toronto designated him for assignment following the season - effectively non-tendering him - rather than paying a projected $2MM in arbitration ( courtesy of MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz).

The 36-year-old Suter is a throwback in many ways - a soft-tossing, rubber-armed lefty who relies more on command and soft contact while often pitching multiple innings per outing. Last year's 87.3 mph was the second-highest average velocity he's posted on his four-seamer in any of his 10 big league seasons. His 89.1 mph average sinker was a career-high. Obviously, Suter isn't going to blow any hitters away with power stuff.

The Angels have signed outfielder to a minor league contract, The Athletic's Will Sammon reports. Siri will be invited to the Halos' big league spring camp, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, and he'll earn $1.6MM if he makes Los Angeles' 26-man roster. Siri has opt-out dates at the end of Spring Training and on June 1 if the Angels haven't already selected his contract, as per Ari Alexander of 7 News. More to come....
