Suffers oblique strain Tapia was diagnosed with a strained right oblique Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Tapia was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox in October and is in the mix for a bullpen spot, though the injury may take him out of consideration for the Opening Day roster depending on how much time he's forced to miss. He allowed one run in 4.1 innings in his big-league debut last year.

Dealing with oblique strain Schultz was diagnosed with a strained left oblique Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Schultz is in camp as a non-roster invitee and was never particularly likely to win a job. It's not clear exactly how much time the oblique issue will cost him, but even missing a relatively brief period will reduce his already slim chances of making the roster.

Pitching in 'B' game Rivera is listed among the Angels' available bullpen options for Monday's "B" game, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rivera was a late arrival to spring training while he dealt with visa issues, but he's since resolved his immigration status and has cleared all COVID-19 intake testing. A Rule 5 selection in December, Rivera is expected to break camp as a member of the Los Angeles bullpen, but the Angels likely won't count on the 24-year-old to fill a high-leverage role to begin the season.

Hits snag in rehab Mariners manager Scott Servais said Monday that Long will have his rehab program slowed down after he recently experienced some inflammation in his surgically-repaired right shin,...

Impact Servais didn't describe Long's setback as a major one, but the Mariners' decision to pull the 25-year-old back a bit in his rehab program suggests that he's without a timeline to make his Cactus League debut. If Long isn't cleared to resume taking part in simulated games by the end of March, he could be a candidate to open the 2021 campaign on the injured list. Long's potential absence would likely clear the way for Dylan Moore and Sam Haggerty to see more action at the keystone early on during the season.
