Around the league

Rockies: Charlie Blackmon, a fourtime All-star who has anchored center field for Colorado since 2014 and has played more games there than anyone else in franchise history, will switch to right field this season.

Ian Desmond will take over in center.

Tigers: Miguel Cabrera hit against a pitcher for the first time since rupturing a tendon in his left biceps June 12.

The 35-year-old strained a hamstring last year and then had the arm injury that required season-ending surgery. He was limited to 38 games.

He said he would prefer to stay at first base instead of becoming a fulltime designated hitter.

Dodgers: Outfielder Andrew

Toles was not at spring training camp for Monday’s voluntary full squad reporting day because of an unspecified personal matter.
