George M. Steinbrenner Field, Tampa, FL

Joins minor-league campThe Phillies optioned Sanchez to their minor-league camp Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

ImpactThe 24-year-old lefty has made only one career appearance above the High-A level, so he wasn't a legitimate candidate to claim a spot on the Phillies' Opening Day roster. Sanchez is expected to begin the season as a member of the rotation at Triple-A Lehigh Valley or Double-A Reading.

Packs bags for minorsThe Phillies optioned Maton to their minor-league camp Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

ImpactDidi Gregorius is locked in as the Phillies' top shortstop, and Jean Segura and Scott Kingery are both capable of playing the position in a pinch, so Maton didn't have a real shot at winning a spot on the Opening Day roster. Maton will likely spend the entire 2021 season in the minors, playing on an everyday basis in the middle infield at either Double-A Reading or Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Should begin throwing soonYankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Schmidt (elbow) is close to resuming a throwing program, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

ImpactSchmidt has apparently demonstrated some notable progress since the Yankees shut him down March 6 with a common extensor strain in his right elbow, so he looks like he could be cleared to begin playing catch off flat ground by the end of the week. Due to the time he's already missed with the injury, however, Schmidt won't be in contention for an Opening Day rotation spot with the Yankees. Domingo German and Deivi Garcia are currently vying for the fifth starter's role.

Exits after getting hit in headGregorius left Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit in the back of the helmet with a pitch, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

ImpactGregorius initially remained in the game, which could be a positive sign, but he later left the dugout with a team trainer. If he suffered an injury serious enough to cost him regular-season action, Jean Segura would likely slide back to shortstop, opening up second base for Scott Kingery.
