Zack Cozart - SS - Reds

Reds manager Bryan Price said Saturday that Zack Cozart remains the team's starter at shortstop and there is no competition from Eugenio Suarez.

Cozart is coming off an incredibly disappointing 2014 season where he slashed just .221/.268/.300 with four homers and 38 RBI, ranking dead last in OPS among all qualified shortstops. While Cozart is a terrific defender, the 23-year-old Suarez offers much more upside offensively.

C.J. Edwards - S - Cubs

C.J. Edwards (finger) threw a successful bullpen session on Saturday.

The top prospect had been dealing with an injury to his right index finger, but it appears to be a minor issue. Even if he impresses in Cubs camp this spring, he's likely ticketed for a return to Double-A Tennessee to begin the season.

Seth Smith - OF - Mariners

Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon indicated Saturday that whoever plays right field could end up batting second in the Mariners lineup.

The M's skipper mentioned that Seth Smith, Justin Ruggiano and Rickie Weeks were all capable of hitting in that second spot in the lineup. Smith figures to see the majority of the at-bats against right-handed pitching with Ruggiano or Weeks imposing their will against opposing southpaws.

Alex Colome - S - Rays

The Rays are hopeful that Alex Colome, who is currently dealing with visa issues, will report to camp next week.

The 26-year-old right-hander was believed to be the favorite to secure the fifth and final spot in the Rays Opening Day rotation, though it's unclear if this delay will change their plans. He has been working out and throwing in the Dominican Republic while he awaits approval.

Brad Miller - SS - Mariners

Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said Saturday that the team has yet to settle on their shortstop for the upcoming season.

That means that Brad Miller and Chris Taylor will compete for the job this spring. McClendon did note that whichever candidate secures the job, that the shortstop is likely to bat ninth, sapping their already minimal fantasy value.

Victor Martinez - 1B - Tigers

Victor Martinez (knee) is scheduled to arrive to Tigers spring training camp on Monday.

He's currently recovering from surgery earlier in the month to repair the medial meniscus in his left knee, but could still be ready for the start of the regular season. Martinez indicated that he may swing a bat and take soft toss as early as Monday.

Alex Avila - C - Tigers

Alex Avila (back) was held out of workouts for a second consecutive day on Saturday due to tightness in his back.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus noted that Avila was feeling better on Saturday and that he would be shocked if the veteran backstop didn't return on Sunday. While he's considered day-to-day, it's a situation worth monitoring as back injuries can tend to be of the recurring variety.

Daniel Nava - OF - Red Sox

Daniel Nava has been hitting exclusively from the left side of the plate this spring and is considering giving up switch-hitting.

Nava has had significantly more success as a left-handed hitter so the idea certainly has merit. He has been putting in extra time to work from his strong side against left-handed pitching to see if his approach could work. With a career .209/.287/.298 slash from the right-side, it won't take much to notice an improvement.
