MLB Trade Rumors

Astros left fielder/designated hitter Michael Brantley will likely begin the season on the injured list, manager Dusty Baker confirmed to reporters. Baker also announced that fellow left fielder/DH Yordan Alvarez will make his spring debut on Thursday after missing all of the team’s Grapefruit League games thus far due to soreness in his left hand. The ’Stros also optioned lefty reliever Matt Gage to Triple-A this morning, making an all-right-handed bullpen likely to begin the season.

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters, including Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com, that Byron Buxton will work primarily as a designated hitter early in the season. While Buxton is “doing great” health-wise, according to Baldelli, the club wants to use him as a DH early in the year in order to hopefully keep him healthy for the entire 2023 campaign. Baldelli did not specify how long that would last beyond noting that the club planned to slowly build him up to center field work.
