Hudson was optioned to Triple-A Memphis by the Cardinals on Tuesday. Hudson had allowed six earned runs on 17 hits and four walks through 8.2 innings this spring in Grapefruit League play, which works out to a 6.23 ERA and 2.42 WHIP. The 28-year-old right-hander posted a 3.14 ERA across his first 249.2 major-league innings between 2018-2021, but the underlying metrics have always been poor and his stock continues to drastically tumble. He'll presumably work out of the rotation with Memphis.

Isbel is slashing .438/.500/.563 through 13 Cactus League games. Isbel has two stolen bases, four doubles, five RBI and six runs scored. Drew Waters' oblique injury opened the door for Isbel to earn a starting role to begin 2023, and he's run with the opportunity in spring. He could be a late-round source of speed in fantasy drafts.

Pittsburgh, PA

Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. Ramirez pitched 27 innings for Pittsburgh last season, posting a 3.67 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He's struggled this spring, however, allowing 10 earned runs through 5.1 frames, so the Pirates will give him a chance to settle in with Triple-A Indianapolis. If he's able to bring his numbers back down, he could rejoin the Pirates' bullpen during the season.

Hiura has brought back the toe tap in his swing, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. It's something that Hiura is trying to reincorporate on the fly as he struggles to find a groove in Cactus League play. Through his first 35 plate appearances this spring, the 26-year-old has batted just .156/.229/.219 with zero home runs and 15 strikeouts. He is out of minor-league options, so a tough decision could be coming soon as the Brewers sort out their Opening Day roster.

Hernandez has covered five innings without allowing an earned run over three Cactus League appearances. Hernandez has also posted a 6:1 K:BB with just three hits allowed. His workload hasn't been that heavy in the spring, but he's performed well in the limited sample. The 26-year-old right-hander looks set to fill a bullpen role as a multi-inning option this season. He struggled to a 7.39 ERA and 1.84 WHIP over 56 innings last season, but if he carry over his improved control from the spring to the regular season, he should at least enjoy a little more job security.

Parssinen (upper body) is progressing slowly and is still not ready to return, John Glennon of NHL.com reports. Parssinen has missed the last 13 games and will not return Thursday versus Seattle. The rookie center has five goals an 18 assists in 42 NHL games this season.

Washington logged 26 points (8-23 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 36 minutes during the Vipers' 126-119 loss to Santa Cruz on Tuesday. Despite recently battling migraines, Washington was able to play and be the Vipers' best scorer Tuesday. While part of their roster, he is expected to lead them until Houston promotes him again. As of Tuesday, Washington is averaging 26.5 points across six G League games.

Garza finished with 29 points (11-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 139-131 win over Birmingham. Garza hauled in a team-high rebound total and finished second in assists and scoring while ending up one point shy of the 30-point mark. Garza has averaged 29.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.6 blocks over five games with Iowa.

Smith (lower body) didn't finish Thursday's game versus the Flames and is unlikely to play Saturday versus the Oilers, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. Smith wasn't available in the third period, and it appears he'll miss some time. Paul Cotter is likely to draw into the lineup to cover for Smith on Saturday and perhaps beyond, depending on the severity of the injury.

Golden Knights' Reilly Smith: Suffers lower-body injury

Antetokounmpo isn't with the team and won't suit up Wednesday against the Spurs. Antetokounmpo isn't a regular part of the rotation, so his absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops, but his next chance to don the uniform arrives Friday as the Bucks embark on a four-game road trip beginning in Salt Lake City.

Chicago, IL

Thompson tossed two scoreless innings in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks. He struck out two. Thompson pitched multiple innings for the first time this spring, as the team has worked him in slowly to his new relief role. The righty made 17 starts last season, but it seems like the Cubs primarily plan on using him as a long-reliever in 2023. That is a less fantasy-friendly job, so Thompson is mostly off the radar for the moment.

Minnesota transferred Ryan to the G League's Iowa Wolves on Wednesday. Ryan made one appearance during his latest NBA stint, totaling just one rebound in three minutes. He figures to see extended playing time while with Iowa.

Timberwolves' Matt Ryan: Back to G League

Gay (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks. Gay exited Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a lower back issue, and his injury will force him to miss the first half of a back-to-back set Friday. Simone Fontecchio and Juan Toscano-Anderson are candidates to see increased run against Milwaukee.
