Royals sign Starling Marte to a $1M deal; Dairon Blanco designated for assignment

Jared Shuster - Removed from big-league camp The Cardinals reassigned Shuster to minor-league camp Monday.
Impact Shuster had been in contention for the second lefty spot in the Cardinals' Opening Day bullpen, but his removal from the competition leaves Justin Bruihl, Packy Naughton and Nick Raquet as the primary candidates for that role. The 27-year-old southpaw worked primarily out of the bullpen for the White Sox the past two seasons, but it's possible that the Cardinals opt to have Shuster get stretched for a starting role or deploy him as a swingman at Triple-A Memphis in 2026.

Zack Thompson - Removed from big-league camp The Cardinals reassigned Thompson (shoulder) to minor-league camp Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Thompson was attending big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee, but he hadn't appeared in any Grapefruit League games while continuing to work his way back from arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder, which he underwent back in August. The southpaw has initiated a throwing program but hasn't yet gotten back on a mound, so he still has multiple checkpoints to reach in the recovery process before being deemed ready for game action.

Tekoah Roby - Dispatched to minors The Cardinals optioned Roby (elbow) to Triple-A Memphis on Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Roby is likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2026 season after he underwent Tommy John surgery July 25 of last year. Memphis will likely place Roby on the 60-day or full-season injured list prior to its March 27 opener.
