Wander Franco - Scratched with sore quadFranco was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston due to right quadriceps soreness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ImpactFranco was listed as the designated hitter but didn't come up to the plate for his first at-bat. The Rays are calling his removal precautionary, so Opening Day still seems to be in play, but the young shortstop's history of quad problems make the issue more worrisome than it might otherwise be. A strained right quadriceps cost him nearly a month in 2022, and he had a pair of brief absences earlier that year due to minor issues with the same muscle.

Brandon Nimmo - Back in action as expectedNimmo (ankle) will lead off and play center field Saturday against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ImpactNimmo has been out for eight days with a low-grade sprain in both his right ankle and his right knee, but he's been trending in the right direction. Assuming he gets through Saturday's game without issues, he should be ready for Opening Day.

Dylan Bundy - Signs minors deal with MetsBundy signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Saturday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
ImpactBundy showed promise with a 3.29 ERA in the shortened 2020 season but followed that up with a 6.06 ERA in 2021 and a 4.89 ERA in 2022, leaving him stuck without a big-league offer. His average fastball velocity dipped to 89.2 mph last season while his strikeout rate fell to 15.8 percent, so he won't be an exciting fantasy option even if injuries ahead of him open up a rotation spot.

Luis Guillorme - Set for bench dutiesGuillorme got the start at second base in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, hitting leadoff and going 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and an RBI.
ImpactThe Mets deployed something close to their Opening Day lineup, but Guillorme filled in for Jeff McNeil at the keystone. Guillorme figures to be the team's top infield bench option this season, and the 28-year-old appears ready for the regular season after going 12-for-37 (.324) this spring with four doubles and a 7:8 BB:K.
