Kelenic was lifted from Monday's Cactus League contest versus the Brewers with a possible injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. It's unclear what he's dealing with, but Kelenic was pinch-hit for in the third inning, indicating it's likely injury-related. He's been a standout this spring, batting .410 with four home runs and three stolen bases.

Murphy was a late scratch from the Mariners' Cactus League lineup against the Brewers, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. There's no word yet on the reasoning for the move. Brian O'Keefe will assume Murphy's spot behind the plate Monday.

DeJong (back) said Monday that he expects to begin the season on the injured list, Ben Frederickson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. DeJong had been slated to return to Grapefruit League play in the designated hitter spot Tuesday, but he had a setback with his lower-back injury while fielding grounders Monday. He doesn't expect to be able to get into another spring game, so being ready for Opening Day isn't realistic. With DeJong out, the Cardinals could consider carrying Taylor Motter as a backup at shortstop behind Tommy Edman.

Vespi was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk by the Orioles on Monday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports. Vespi is just now returning from sports hernia surgery that he underwent in January, and the southpaw will need more time to get ready for the regular season. The 27-year-old will likely be an up-and-down option for Baltimore throughout the 2023 campaign.

Sheets will play both corner outfielder positions as well first base in 2023, Jesus Cano of MLB.com reports. Sheets spent a significant portion of the 2022 season as the White Sox's starting right fielder. However, after the offseason addition of Andrew Benintendi and emergence of Oscar Colas, he may not have one specific defensive position to call home to begin 2023. Even so, he should earn plenty of plate appearances, particularly given the spotty health history of Eloy Jimenez (calf). Across 410 plate appearances in 2022, Sheets hit .241/.295/.411.

Tennessee State

Nashville, TN

Murphy-Bunting agreed Monday on a one-year contract with the Titans, Matt Moraitis of USA Today reports. Murphy-Bunting can make up to $5 million next season with Tennessee, the second stop of his career following four seasons with the Buccaneers. The cornerback appeared in 12 games in 2022, recording a career-low 31 tackles while also producing seven pass breakups, two interceptions and a forced fumble. Murphy-Bunting will step right into a prominent role in the Titans secondary and has a shot at earning himself a long-term contract with a "prove-it" deal in 2023.

San Francisco, CA

Feliciano signed a one-year deal with the 49ers on Monday, Kim Jones of Newsday reports. Feliciano, a former Bill and Giant, will head to San Francisco for the 2023 season. The 31-year-old is able to play the interior of the offensive line, but he may find it difficult to lock down a starting job this offseason behind center Jake Brendel and guards Spencer Burford and Aaron Banks. More than likely, Feliciano will be veteran insurance in case any of the trio suffers an injury.

Atlanta, GA

Arcia is in line to open the season as Atlanta's starting shortstop, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. Barring an addition at the position via trade in the days leading up to Opening Day, Arcia has won the shortstop gig over Vaughn Grissom and Braden Shewmake, both of whom were optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. Arcia received the appointment atop the depth chart despite mediocre results at the plate in Grapefruit League play (.247/.367/.360 slash line over 30 plate appearances), but he impressed with his glove. Shewmake and Grissom both have a great chance of taking the job from Arcia if the 28-year-old struggles once the season gets underway.

Mitchell was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports. Mitchell played in 69 games during his first taste of the big leagues last year and had a .226/.286/.349 slash line with five home runs and three steals. He won't open 2023 on the MLB roster, with Bryan Reynolds, Jack Suwinski and Andrew McCutchen (elbow) poised to operate as the Pirates' primary outfielders.

Duran sustained a leg contusion after being struck by a line drive during a backfield game Sunday, and manager Rocco Baldelli said the right-hander was "moving pretty well," Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
