San Diego moved to solidify its rotation and add a veteran bat by agreeing to deals with pitcher Griffin Canning and outfielder Nick Castellanos. Castellanos will join on a major‑league minimum salary in 2026 after being released by the Phillies, likely contributing at first base, designated hitter and corner outfield spots. Canning, a 29‑year‑old right-hander with previous MLB experience and a recent Achilles injury, could factor into the rotation but may not be ready to start the season. The Padres’ rotation currently features top arms Nick Pivetta, Michael King and Joe Musgrove, with Randy Vásquez as a candidate for the fourth spot; competition for the remaining rotation slot includes JP Sears, Matt Waldron, Marco Gonzales and Triston McKenzie, along with other minor‑league options, as spring work begins.

The Los Angeles Angels have made a last-minute change to their starting pitcher, opting to start Chase Silseth instead of Griffin Canning due to Canning's "general soreness."

The Angels also made roster moves, optioning Trey Cabbage to Triple-A Salt Lake and adding C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk to the active roster.
