Hyun-Jin Ryu - S - Dodgers

Hyun-Jin Ryu (back) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Monday.

The 27-year-old southpaw has taken things easy the past couple of days after tweaking a muscle in his back during a fielding drill on Tuesday. He should have no difficulty getting ready in time for the start of the regular season.

Brad Mills - S - Athletics

Athletics manager Bob Melvin announced Saturday that Brad Mills will start Tuesday's spring opener.

Jesse Chavez will make his first start on Wednesday while veteran southpaw Barry Zito will start on Thursday. All three hurlers are looking to compete for one of the final spots in the A's Opening Day rotation, but could also earn a spot as a long reliever.

Alex Rodriguez - 3B - Yankees

Alex Rodriguez received reps at first base on Friday for the first time in his big league career.

The Yankees are trying to determine if A-Rod can be a serviceable backup behind Mark Teixeira at the position. Rodriguez has been open to the idea and is said to be "anxious to learn" the new position. While he's slated to see most of his action out of the designated hitter spot, increasing his versatility would provide manager Joe Girardi with more options to getting his bat in the lineup.

Conor Gillaspie - 3B - White Sox

Conor Gillaspie bulked up over the offseason and quit chewing tobacco in an effort to get stronger and help get through the grind of the long season.

Gillaspie added 15-20 pounds of muscle to prevent the late-season swoon that he endured in 2014, where he slashed just .208/.259/.333 with three homers over his final 47 contests. He's expected to bat sixth in a much-improved White Sox lineup, which should provide plenty of RBI chances.

Jason Lane - R - Padres

Padres manager Bud Black announced Saturday that Jason Lane will start the team's Cactus League opener against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Lane, who is in camp as a non-roster invitee, faces an uphill battle for a spot in the team's Opening Day bullpen. He surrendered just one run over 10 1/3 innings for the Padres in 2014.

Angel Pagan - OF - Giants

Angel Pagan (neck) will take live batting practice on Saturday.

Pagan had been held out of workouts the previous two days and was scheduled to have Saturday off as well, but felt significant improvement in his neck. While he's on track to be ready for Opening Day, he remains a significant injury risk. He has averaged just 84 games played over the past two seasons.

Brandon Phillips - 2B - Reds

Reds manager Bryan Price said Saturday that Brandon Phillips is 100 percent healthy and that he expects him to rebound in 2015.

"I have not lost one bit of confidence or expectation that he’s going to have a big year" Price indicated. The 33-year-old is coming off a disappointing 2014 season where he slashed just .266/.306/.372 with career worsts of eight homers, 51 RBI and two stolen bases. While a rebound of some sort is likely, his days of fantasy stardom are long gone.

Juan Lagares - OF - Mets

Mets manager Terry Collins admitted Saturday that Juan Lagares is the team's preferred leadoff hitter.

That's predicated on Lagares proving that he can handle the role this spring. The 25-year-old is a career .265/.315/.357 hitter in 185 at-bats out of the leadoff spot. Curtis Granderson has also been mentioned as a possible candidate to hit atop the Mets lineup, and may get the job if Lagares struggles during Grapefruit League play.
