  • Jonathan India, acquired this offseason from the Cincinnati Reds, is apparently readying to take reps in the outfield.

Wright, who had a standout 2022 season with an 11-7 record and a 3.19 ERA, revealed that he underwent shoulder surgery in October, which will cause him to miss the entire 2024 season.
