Sent for X-raysYastrzemski was sent for X-rays after a pitch hit his hand Monday against the Athletics, but the Giants' medical staff is optimistic about his outlook, Susan Slusser of the San Fra...

ImpactIt sounds as though the Giants believe Yastrzemski has avoided a fracture, though he'll undergo an X-ray anyway just to be sure. If he escapes with nothing worse than a bruise, he should be good to go on Opening Day against the Mariners on Thursday. If he needs a trip to the injured list, at-bats would open up in the outfield corners for Austin Slater and potentially Darin Ruf.

Roster spot confirmedTom's spot on the Athletics' Opening Day roster was confirmed by manager Bob Melvin on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

ImpactTom appeared to be on track for a roster spot when Vimael Machin and Seth Brown were optioned Sunday, and that's now been confirmed by the team. The Athletics had an extra incentive to keep him on the active roster, as his status as a Rule 5 pick meant he'd have to be offered back to Cleveland if he failed to make the team, but he earned the role through his spring performances, hitting .321/.424/.571.
