Prospect Jeter Downs is impressing the Red Sox from the ground up - The Boston Globe The 22-year-old's footwork at the plate — and especially his calm demeanor — bode well for his chances in the majors.
Available for spring debut Thielbar (back) will be available out of the bullpen for Monday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact He's received the green light to make his spring debut after being slowed earlier in camp by a strained back. The lefty reliever shouldn't need more than a handful of appearances this spring to erase any concerns about his availability for the start of the season, so he would still appear to be in good shape to break camp with the Twins.

Rejoins spring lineup Larnach (hamstring) will serve as the Twins' designated hitter and will bat seventh Monday in the team's Grapefruit League game against the Braves.
Impact Larnach will check back into the Twins' spring lineup for the first time since March 1, when he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his Grapefruit League debut. He's been on the mend for the past two weeks with a hamstring injury, but Larnach evidently showed enough improvement for the Twins to give him the green light to start in an offense-only role. If Larnach's hamstring responds well to DH duty, he could get some work in as an outfielder later this week.

Hospitalized with foot infection Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Santana (elbow) will be in the hospital for two days after he was diagnosed with a foot infection, Sean McAdam of BostonSportsJournal.com...
Impact Though Santana will be treated with antibiotics and should be discharged from the hospital by the middle of the week, Cora said it would be "a while" before the utility man returns to game action, according to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe. Santana, who is attending camp as a non-roster invitee, was already considered unlikely to be ready for Opening Day while he works back from the modified Tommy John procedure he required last September, and the infection will only further set him back with his rehab program. Santana's shaky health could improve the odds of Michael Chavis, Jonathan Arauz or Yairo Munoz winning a bench role with the big club.
