Okoro won't return to Sunday's game against Houston due to left knee soreness, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Okoro started Sunday's matchup and tallied four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and a rebound in nine minutes prior to departing in the first half. It's unclear whether his knee issue will prevent him from playing Tuesday in Atlanta.

Saint Louis, MO

Faulk logged a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime victory over the Canucks. Faulk gave St. Louis a 2-1 lead in the first period, one-timing a slapshot from the circle past Thatcher Demko. Faulk would then pick up an assist on Pavel Buchnevich's tally in the second before setting up Jakub Vrana's overtime winner. The 31-year-old defenseman now has three consecutive multi-point games, recording two goals and five assists in that span. He's up to 10 goals and 42 points through 74 contests this season.

Randle had 26 points (10-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 137-115 victory over the Rockets. The veteran forward's rebounding has slowed down lately, but Randle remains a beast when it comes to scoring as he closes out a career-best season. Over 13 games in March, he's failed to score at least 20 points only three times while averaging 27.0 points, 7.7 boards, 4.3 assists and 3.2 threes.

The Rays optioned Chirinos to Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Chirinos will open the season in the minors after losing out to Josh Fleming in the competition for the No. 5 spot in the Rays' rotation. After missing most of the past two seasons while recovering from August 2020 Tommy John surgery, Chirinos reported to camp without any limitations but wasn't able to solidify a rotation spot after logging a 6.57 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB across 12.1 Grapefruit League innings.

Terry (personal) won't play Monday against Colorado, Lisa Dillman of The Orange County Register reports. Terry left Saturday's 6-3 loss to St. Louis after the second period due to a personal matter. He has generated 21 goals, 56 points and 174 shots on net in 66 contests this campaign. Frank Vatrano (personal) will return to the lineup Monday.

The Mariners optioned Topa to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Acquired from the Brewers in January, Topa had a so-so performance in his first camp with Seattle. The hard-throwing righty turned in a 2.25 ERA and struck out eight batters over eight frames in Cactus League play, but he issued three walks and allowed a .300 average to opposing batters. So long as he steers clear of the health issues that have derailed him the past two seasons, Topa should stand a decent chance of surfacing in Seattle's bullpen at some point in 2023.

Reds manager David Bell confirmed Monday that Votto (shoulder/biceps) will open the season on the 10-day injured list, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Though Votto made a push late in spring training to be ready to go for Opening Day, the Reds will ultimately give him more time to build up after he underwent surgery last August to repair a torn left rotator cuff and a torn left bicep. Votto hasn't hit any reported snags in his recovery since making his Cactus League debut March 12, so he should be ready to report to Triple-A Louisville to begin a rehab assignment Friday, according to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. Tyler Stephenson and Wil Myers both made multiple starts at first base during Cactus League play and should serve as the primary replacements at the position until Votto is cleared to return from the IL.

Coulombe was acquired by the Orioles from the Twins on Monday for cash considerations, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports. Coulombe was going to come up short in his bid for a bullpen spot with the Twins, but he's been given a reprieve with the O's trading for him and promptly adding him to their relief corps. The veteran left-hander holds a 2.92 ERA over 41 appearances over the last three seasons.

Auburn coach Hugh Freeze topped Alabama coach Nick Saban in 2014 and 2015 while Freeze was coaching Ole Miss, which explains why he was so attractive to the Auburn administration when he was tabbed to take over the role previously occupied by Bryan Harsin. Freeze, along with former Auburn and current UCF coach Gus Malzahn and Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, are the only active Power Five coaches who have topped Saban more than once.

The Buccaneers have agreed to terms with McLaughlin, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. McLaughlin is coming off a 2022 season in which he made 30 of 36 field-goal attempts (including 18 of 23 from 40 yards or more) in 16 games with the Colts. As things stand, with Ryan Succop no longer with Tampa Bay, the 26-year-old is slated to top his new team's kicker depth chart, with Jake Verity currently on hand as a depth option.

Manager Oliver Marmol said Sunday that Carlson is likely to begin the season working as a utility outfielder and bench piece, John Denton of MLB.com reports. It appears the 24-year-old will be the odd man out to open the season with prospect Jordan Walker making St. Louis' Opening Day roster. Carlson should still see a fair amount of action between the three outfield spots and designated hitter, but it seems Walker, Tyler O'Neill and Lars Nootbaar will begin the campaign as the primary outfield options.

The Orioles optioned Hall to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports. Hall is healthy again after he overcame a lower-back injury to make two extended Grapefruit League relief appearances Monday and Saturday, but the Orioles want him to continue building up as a starter in the minors before a return to the majors is considered. Assuming he stays healthy and productive at Norfolk in the early part of the season, Hall should be among the top candidates for a promotion if a spot in the big-league rotation opens up at any point.
