Reassigned to Minor League camp were infielders Alex Blandino (No. 8 prospect), Calten Daal (No. 30) and Eric Jagielo (No. 14), outfielder Phillip Ervin (No. 10) and pitchers Matt Magill and Nick Travieso (No. 9) and catcher Chad Wallach.
Of this group, Contreras was the only one with big league experience, and he was vying for a spot in the wide-open bullpen. In four appearances this spring, he allowed six earned runs and nine hits over 3 2/3 innings, for a 14.73 ERA. Manager Bryan Price wanted to see better command of the strike zone from him.
