MLB Roster Moves & Injury Updates

Marlins scratched first baseman Christopher Morel from Friday's opener against the Rockies due to a left oblique strain, immediately impacting Miami's lineup construction for the start of the season. Conversely, the Astros reinstated All-Star shortstop Jeremy Peña, who will make his 2024 debut after sitting out the team’s Opening Day loss while nursing a broken finger. These movements contrast with the Orioles securing a significant long-term addition, agreeing to a five-year contract with high-upside starter Shane Baz, solidifying their rotation following his acquisition over the winter.

Veteran outfielder Jason Heyward officially retired Friday, concluding a 16-season career highlighted by a World Series championship and five career Gold Glove awards. While one career concluded, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs poked fun at Phillies ace Zack Wheeler's recent surgery, using a promotional event to reference the rib he had removed to clear a blood clot and is reportedly keeping in his closet.
