Quick takeaway: NL West, March 14–22, 2026—rotation calls, bench spots, and injury fallout.
Last updated: March 22, 2026. Ledger: MLB.com transactions.
Arizona Diamondbacks
MLB.com had Arizona optioning Kade Strowd March 21. The rotation looks mostly set; the open questions are bench, bullpen, and names like Tawa, Vargas, Amaya, and Barrosa fighting for the last outfield and corner jobs.
Colorado Rockies
MLB’s Rockies page listed March 15–19 moves—Carrigg, Condon, Machín, Gordon, Amador, plus injury notes. Colorado is always mixing development with survival. This week was about who actually gets big-league reps when the games count.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Dodgers Nation covered March 22 cuts as L.A. trimmed toward Opening Day. Stars are back from the WBC; bench and bullpen are partly about rest and health. With this roster, the hard part is who gets the ball in the ninth, not the sixth.
San Diego Padres
Catcher Blake Hunt and the oblique—we covered it March 2. Still matters if he misses Opening Day. Backup catcher steers how the staff is run. If Hunt is out, game-calling and framing shift behind the plate.
San Francisco Giants
SI mixed spring standouts with cuts (Juan Sanchez among them). Oracle still favors defense and pitching. Spring is about who earns trust in the outfield and late innings—not who hit .400 in March.
