Here is the latest on injuries and roster moves involving MLB Pipeline's Top 100 prospects:

NEW YORK -- Cam Schlittler couldn’t sit still. Four hours before his Major League debut, the lanky right-hander was pacing the Yankees' clubhouse like a man with a million thoughts and nowhere to put them. Already wearing his game cap, a gray long-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, he kept returning to

PORTLAND -- A little more than two hours north of Fenway Park on Tuesday night, an opposite Rockies universe played out at Delta Dental Park. Lefty Sean Sullivan (ranked by MLB Pipeline as Colorado's No. 8 prospect) kept his slider and changeup in the strike zone for seven innings and

SAN DIEGO -- The fruits of recent Drafts are just about everywhere on this Padres roster. Playing center field? 2021 first-rounder Jackson Merrill. All-Star setup man Jason Adam? Acquired for ‘22 first-rounder Dylan Lesko. First baseman Luis Arraez? Acquired for ‘23 first-rounder Dillon Head.

NEW YORK -- The Yankees’ braintrust nodded knowingly when George Lombard Jr. displayed a complete package well beyond his two decades on the planet this spring: lightning-quick wrists in the batter’s box, slick agility in the infield, and a mature demeanor in the big league clubhouse.
