Braves reassigned LHP Chasen Shreve and RHP Jordan Weems to minor league camp.

The latest cuts reduce Atlanta’s spring training roster to 50 players. Shreve and Weems were in camp as non-roster invitees battling for spots in the club’s season-opening bullpen. They’ll open the year back at Triple-A Gwinnett as emergency relief depth.

LAD Relief Pitcher #85

Dodgers recalled LHP Charlie Barnes from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The 30-year-old southpaw was claimed off of waivers from the Cubs last weekend. He’ll provide the Dodgers’ bullpen with a fresh arm that’s capable of working multiple innings in the wake of the Blake Snell (elbow) injury.

Blake Snell

LAD Starting Pitcher #7

Dodgers placed LHP Blake Snell on the 15-day injured list with loose bodies in his elbow.

Ugh. Snell missed the first seven weeks of the season while recovering from shoulder fatigue and then returned to make just one poor start before being shelved again. Charlie Barnes was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday to take his place on the active roster. No word yet on how long Snell is expected to be sidelined before, but traditionally loose bodies in the elbow take 2-3 months of recovery time if they are surgically removed.

Trevor Story

BOS Shortstop #10

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told reporters on Friday that Trevor Story was given a day off due to a lingering adductor issue that he has been battling all season.

It’s nice to finally hear after 41 games of struggling that Story has been playing through an injury since the spring. Hopefully a couple of extra days off allows him the time to heal, which should improve his bleak performance at the dish.

Taj Bradley

MIN Starting Pitcher #26

Twins manager Derek Shelton told reporters, including Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com, that Taj Bradley threw a successful 20-pitch bullpen session on Thursday.

He’s expected to repeat the process again in a couple of days and if all goes well from there, he could progress to facing live hitters. Bradley has been sidelined since May 6 due to pectoral inflammation. It sounds like he’s progressing nicely and shouldn’t require an extended stay on the injured list.

Christian Koss

SF 2nd Baseman #50

Giants optioned INF Christian Koss to Triple-A Sacramento.

The Giants needed to clear a spot on their active roster for the return of Daniel Susac on Friday and it looks like Koss drew the short straw this time around. The 28-year-old infielder is just 1-for-14 (.071) in his limited action with the Giants this season.

Daniel Susac

SF Catcher #6

Giants activated C Daniel Susac from the 10-day injured list.

Susac will return as expected after missing more than three weeks of action due to right elbow neuritis. The 25-year-old backstop has hit a blistering .478 (11-for-23) with zero homers and five RBI in his first 24 plate appearances with the Giants.

Blake Snell

LAD Starting Pitcher #7

Blake Snell was scratched from his scheduled start against the Angels on Friday night.

No word yet on the reason for the late scratch, but the Dodgers now plan to go with Will Klein as an opener in what will be a bullpen game. Snell has made just one start since returning from the injured list, giving up five runs (four earned) over three innings in a loss to the Braves on Saturday. Stay tuned, as the Dodgers should have an update on his status shortly.

Josh Smith

TEX 2nd Baseman #8

Rangers utilityman Josh Smith, who is on the injured list with wrist and glute injuries, has been hospitalized due to viral meningitis.

Yikes. Smith is expected to remain in a Dallas-area hospital for the next 7-10 days while he recovers. There’s obviously no clear timeline on when he may be able to return to action, the important thing now is for him to focus on his health.

Brandon Woodruff

MIL Starting Pitcher #53

Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) came away pleased after throwing 25 pitches during a bullpen session on Thursday.

The 33-year-old right-hander will repeat the exercise on Monday, then if all goes well, he’ll progress to a simulated game. Depending on how quickly he ramps up, it’s possible that Woodruff could be able to return to the Brewers’ rotation without requiring a minor league rehab assignment.

Roman Anthony

BOS Left Fielder #19

Roman Anthony (wrist) had his splint and brace removed and was able to play catch on Friday for the first time since landing on the injured list.

There’s still no clear target date for his return, but the 22-year-old budding superstar continues to make small strides in the right direction. He has been sidelined since May 4 due to a right wrist sprain.
