BULLPEN

CL David Bednar (RHP)
SU Camilo Doval (RHP)
SU Fernando Cruz (RHP)
MRP Tim Hill (LHP)
MRP Paul Blackburn (RHP)
MRP Cade Winquest (RHP)
MRP Ryan Yarbrough (LHP)
LRP Brent Headrick (LHP)

Their final decisions revolved around the pitching staff – specifically, what to do with right-hander Luis Gil, considering the club will not need a fifth starter until April 11 because of four early off-days.
That call was finalized on Tuesday. Gil was optioned to the Minor Leagues, allowing the Yankees to fill three remaining spots with relief pitchers – left-hander Brent Headrick and right-handers Jake Bird and Cade Winquest.
I had to leave off RHP Jake Bird for now. He will need to be added to their roster when he is listed in any of their BOX SCORES.
Starting pitcher Luis Gil was called up and to start on 4/10/26 and RHP Cade Winquest was designated for assignment, I will add RHP Jake Bird back in this spot.

1B Christopher Morel, who was scratched from Friday night’s Opening Day lineup with a left oblique strain he sustained during his last swings of batting practice, was expected to get the majority of the first-base reps after inking a one-year deal with Miami as its lone Major League position player signing. Instead, Morel will miss 4-6 weeks.

Nationals used opener on 3/31/26 reliever PJ Poulin against Phillies' top of lineup.
When the Nationals signed Zack Littell, the prevailing thought was that he would be the No. 2 in this rotation. However, because he signed so late in the process, he's still trying to build up to being ready for the regular season and won't be pitching in this opening series.

Los Angeles Dodgers 2026 Opening Day 26-man roster is with 13 dedicated pitchers (starters and relievers) plus Shohei Ohtani. Because of his unique two-way status, Ohtani does not count toward the team's 13-pitcher roster limit, allowing him to function as an additional pitcher while also serving as the primary designated hitter.
I had to leave off (LHP) Justin Wrobleski for now because pitcher Edgardo Henriquez pitches in first series and Wrobleski doesn't. Another reason I half to leave one of them off roster is the Ohtani 2-way player thing and we are only allowed 5 starting pitchers and only 8 relief pitchers on the game.

Starting pitcher Adrian Houser debut was pushed to the first game of April due to an abnormal spring training buildup caused by early-season scheduling, specifically two off-days early in the 2026 schedule. Despite this delay, he was expected to be part of the rotation from the start of the season.

RTTS - Catcher

AUTiger1 — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 20:55:38 GMT

Alright, when I play RTTS I just wanna hit. I don't want to have to do anything else because I suck at the first person aspect of playing defense and baserunning. In previous editions of The Show I could do that. But now I can't. There's a completely separate setting for catcher when it comes to defense and no "none" option like there is for INF/OF. It's beyond frustrating because trying to catch a pitch is hard. Then I had a pop up I completely whiffed on cause I just couldn't track the ball. Brutal. I just don't understand why SDS would make it to where if you are a catcher you can't skip playing defense.
