Paul Molitor held his first official full-squad meeting as Twins manager Friday morning, addressing a few minor team rule changes and trying to set the tone for what he expects from his players this spring and this season.

Yankees infielder Brendan Ryan sustained a mid-back strain while lifting weights before the start of Spring Training. He is expected to miss about five days of on-field activity.

Nationals first baseman/outfielder Tyler Moore is out of Minor League options, so this spring could be his last chance to show the team that he belongs on the Major League roster.

Adam Wainwright returned to Cardinals camp on Friday, one day after a St. Louis-area specialist diagnosed him with an abdominal strain that should not keep him from continuing through a spring throwing program.

Shedding light on why he exercised his half of a mutual option with the Brewers in October rather than seek a multiyear contract in free agency, Aramis Ramirez said Friday that his 20th professional season will also be his last.
