Sent to Triple-AThe Tigers optioned Lange to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
ImpactLange held opposing hitters to a .167 average and struck out three over 3.1 innings this spring, but it wasn't enough for him to remain in the competition for a spot in Detroit's Opening Day bullpen. The 25-year-old will be a candidate to make his MLB debut later in 2021.

Slow start to springGrichuk has only two hits through 14 at-bats this spring, although both knocks went for extra bases (one double and one home run).
ImpactThe 29-year-old was expected to be the odd man out in the Toronto outfield following the George Springer signing, and Grichuk has done nothing so far this spring to change that equation. He could still see a decent workload between the outfield and DH as other players get rested, potentially putting him in line for production similar to what he posted 2016-18, when he averaged 427.3 at-bats, 23.6 homers and 62.7 RBI with a .241/.292/.485 slash line.

Making waves this springManoah has an 11:0 K:BB through five scoreless innings this spring while allowing only one hit.
ImpactThe big right-hander isn't in line to break camp on the major-league roster, but Manoah is trying to prove that he's nearly ready to make his Blue Jays debut. A first-round pick in 2019, the 23-year-old only made it up to High-A that season before spending last year at Toronto's alternate training site, but an aggressive assignment to Triple-A to begin 2021 should be in the cards.
