Playing catchManager David Ross said Thursday that Wick (ribs) played catch within the past few days and felt good afterward, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

ImpactWick has been dealing with an intercostal injury to begin spring training, and the Cubs have been bringing him along slowly as a result. Ross said that he got a lot of "positive feedback" from Wick after he played catch, but he still didn't have a timetable for his return. The right-hander is still a long shot to be ready for Opening Day, but he appears to be progressing well in his recovery. He's expected to serve as a top setup man for Chicago once he's healthy.

Taking things slowlyLong has been brought along cautiously as he works his way back from September shin surgery and has yet to make his Cactus League debut, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

ImpactLong played through a shin injury throughout last season, which likely explains a fair bit of his poor .171/.242/.291 slash line. He's advanced to playing in simulated games, so his spring training debut shouldn't be too far off, which should still leave him with enough time to claim a spot on the Opening Day roster if all goes well.

Expected to play soonTorrens has been dealing with a cut on his finger but will make his spring debut over the weekend, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

ImpactTorrens is expected to back up Tom Murphy this season, but the Mariners have estimated that he'll receive up to 45 percent of the starts behind the plate with Murphy coming off a season missed to injury. The delayed start to Torrens' spring shouldn't hurt him too much in that pursuit, as he'll still have several weeks to prepare for Opening Day.
