Tyler Callihan is fully cleared and focusing on second base and left field after last season’s injury.

Nick also covers updates on Edwin Arroyo, who expects more power in 2026 with his shoulder surgery behind him, and Eugenio Suárez’s strong early impression in camp, including praise for Arroyo’s potential. The two could face off in the World Baseball Classic.
