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.

The Atlanta Braves made a pair of surprising roster moves on Monday, optioning both Vaughn Grissom and Braden Shewmake to the minors. Grissom and Shewmake had been in competition for the starting shortstop job. The Braves will instead enter the season with veteran Orlando Arcia serving as their starter at the six, with non-roster invitee Ehire Adrianza acting in reserve.

Orlando Arcia will be the starting shortstop with Atlanta to open the 2023 season, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. Arcia has won the gig over both Vaughn Grissom and Braden Shewmake. The former top prospect gets the job despite mediocre results at the plate in Florida with a .247/.367/.360 slash over 30 plate appearances, but has impressed with the glove in the Grapefruit League. Shewmake and Grissom both have a great chance of taking the job from Arcia if the former Milwaukee Brewer struggles, but for now, it's Arcia's job.

Evans signed with the Eagles on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Evans will help fill the hole left at safety after C.J. Gardner-Johnson left to sign with the Lions. The 27-year-old played in 15 games for the Saints last year, making four starts and registering a career-low 29 tackles (17 solo). The 2017 second-round pick may compete with Reed Blankenship for playing time and potentially a starting spot at free safety.

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.

Anaheim, CA

White logged an assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jackets. White has an assist in two of the last three games. The 25-year-old defenseman hasn't gotten on the scoresheet much this season, but he's at least been seeing regular playing time since the trade deadline. He's up to six helpers, 25 shots on net, 27 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 34 appearances.

There was no update on Kuznetsov (undisclosed) after he left Sunday's game against Minnesota, Roman Stubbs of The Washington Post reports. Kuznetsov took a big hit from Matt Dumba in the third period and did not return to the contest. He logged a minus-1 rating in 13:41 of ice time prior to the injury. An update on his status should be available before Tuesday's matchup with Columbus.

Capitals' Evgeny Kuznetsov: Injured Sunday

Grissom is being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Monday, Mark Bowman of MLB.comm reports. Grissom was the presumed starter at shortstop for Atlanta to begin 2023 after his promising rookie season, but the 22-year-old will begin the season in Gwinnett after some shaky showings in the Grapefruit League -- particularly defensively. There's a good chance the Grissom will see playing time with Atlanta before the season comes to a conclusion, but he should be dropped considerably down fantasy draft boards since there's no guarantee when he'll be playing in the majors this year.

Braves' Vaughn Grissom: Will begin season in Triple-A

The Mariners reassigned Wong to minor-league camp Monday. Despite offering multi-position versatility in addition to possessing 39 games' worth of prior MLB experience, Wong never looked to be a serious threat to make the Mariners' Opening Day roster. Wong stole 41 bases in 47 attempts at Triple-A Salt Lake in the Angels organization in 2022, but he otherwise struggled at the dish (.670 OPS over 565 plate appearances) while playing in hitter-friendly parks in the Pacific Coast League. He'll likely head to Triple-A Tacoma to begin his time in the Seattle organization.

The Mariners reassigned Rodriguez to minor-league camp Monday. Rodriguez submitted three scoreless relief appearances during Cactus League play, but the 27-year-old right-hander never merited serious consideration for a spot in Seattle's Opening Day bullpen after having toiled in the minors over both of the past two seasons. He spent the 2022 campaign in the Mets organization, pitching to a 4.95 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 68:36 K:BB across 76.1 innings.

The Packers re-signed Ballentine on Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Ballentine will return to Green Bay, where he spent time both on the active roster and practice squad this past year. Heading into the 2023 campaign, the 26-year-old could potentially find himself competing for a roster spot in what's become a crowded secondary. If he does make the team, the 2019 sixth-round pick will likely see most of his playing time on special teams, bringing value both in coverage and as a returner.

Tate is out for Monday's game against the Warriors due to right ankle injury maintenance, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports. As has been the case recently, Tate will be sidelined for part of Houston's back-to-back set to manage a lingering ankle issue. In his absence, Josh Christopher and Tari Eason are candidates for increased roles.

Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Will sit out Monday

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.
