• Rhiner Cruz, RHP, Astros (from Mets) -- Competing with Henry Sosa and Lucas Harrell for the final bullpen spot.
• Terry Doyle, RHP, Twins (from White Sox) -- Returned to ChiSox earlier this month.
• Lucas Luetge, LHP, Mariners (from Brewers) -- Luetge made Seattle's Opening Day roster.

• Erik Komatsu, OF, Cardinals (from Nationals) -- The Cardinals will carry Komatsu as an extra outfielder to start the season.
• Marwin Gonzalez, IF, Astros (from Cubs via Red Sox) -- Gonzalez's chances of making the team appear to depend on the health of Jed Lowrie's thumb.
