MLB Teams Reassign Players to Minor-League Camps

Several Major League Baseball teams have reassigned players to minor-league camps as the season approaches. The Nationals sent Robert Hassell to Triple-A Rochester despite his strong performance in the Grapefruit League due to underperformance in previous seasons. The Astros and Twins similarly reassigned Shay Whitcomb and Huascar Ynoa, respectively, to their minor-league affiliates, with Ynoa recovering from injuries affecting his recent performance. The Mets, Rays, and Red Sox also reassigned players like Joey Meneses, Joey Krehbiel, Garrett Acton, and Isaiah Campbell to minor-league camps, citing factors like declining production and injury recovery. Additionally, the Cardinals and Reds reassigned Gavin Collins and Alex Young, respectively, with Young looking to improve his spring training form.
