Michael Gigliotti - Available off benchGigliotti (shoulder) is available off the bench for Saturday's Cactus League game versus the Brewers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
ImpactGigliotti was sidelined in August due to a shoulder injury, but it appears he's healthy for spring training. The outfielder logged a .215/.366/.343 slash line with seven home runs, 24 stolen bases, 29 RBI and 49 runs scored with Double-A Richmond last season.

ImpactMunguia underwent wrist surgery and missed all of the 2022 campaign. His last action in minor-league ball came in 2021, when he slashed .336/.366/.502 with High-A Eugene over 81 contests. The outfielder should have a chance to play in the upper minors this season, but he's likely at least a year away from any major-league consideration.
