MLB Roster Moves & Injury Updates
Veteran outfielder Andrew McCutchen secured his spot on the Rangers' Opening Day roster after posting a scorching .444 batting average this spring, including three doubles and a home run, demonstrating surprising production at age. Concurrently, the Cardinals' roster plans solidified as top prospect JJ Wetherholt, the seventh overall pick in the 2024 draft from West Virginia, made the cut for his major league debut. The Brewers also confirmed positive injury news, stating that two-time All-Star right-hander Brandon Woodruff avoided an IL stint and is slated to open the season as their fifth starter on March 31 against an unnamed opponent.
In other team activity, the Tigers finalized relief corps adjustments by signing right-handed pitcher Connor Seabold to a one-year split contract. This signing preceded the designation of reliever Beau Briske, who was subsequently placed on the 60-day injured list, signaling a significant shift in Detroit's bullpen depth chart heading into the regular season.
