Hyun Soo Kim won't be on the Opening Day roster for the Baltimore Orioles and the Korean outfielder is reportedly "resisting" a Minor League assignment.

A return to South Korea is not in play right now, according to Dan Duquette.

The Chicago Cubs have agreed to sign Jake Buchanan to a Minor League contract.

Buchanan was released by the Houston Astros earlier Thursday.

Buchanan, 26, has a 4.06 ERA, 5.1 K/9 and 1.56 K/9 over 44 1/3 career Major League innings.

Andrew Miller doesn't plan to miss any time with a small fracture of his non-throwing wrist.

Miller, who suffered the injury fielding a line drive that struck him just below the glove in a game Wednesday, said he expects to be ready for Opening Day in spite of the injury.

"According to Wikipedia, it's not an important bone. It doesn't really do anything,'' Miller said of his broken pisiform, which is in the heel of the hand just above the wrist.

"It's my right hand; I don't really need it. I don't see any reason I can't work around it unless for some reason the doctor tells me I have to protect it for some reason that we don't foresee. I plan to be able to manipulate my glove around it and not really worry about it."

The Boston Red Sox will start Travis Shaw at third base on Opening Day, a decision that sends Pablo Sandoval to the bench.

Shaw is a former ninth-round draft pick. Sandoval was signed to a $95 million contract before the 2015 season.

"For right now to start the season, I feel this is the best for our team to go with this alignment," John Farrell said. "My focus is on the guys that are in uniform, not what's attached to them or what their contract states."

Buster Olney will serve as reporter during three Opening Day telecasts on ESPN over a two-day period.

Olney will work Opening Night Baseball when the New York Mets play at the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, April 3rd. Olney will then be on hand for Monday's game in San Diego between the Dodgers and Padres, which begins at 7:00 PM EST.

Finally, Olney will travel up to Anaheim for the 10:00 PM EST start of a game between the Cubs and Angels.

The Atlanta Braves will provide John Schuerholz with a new title, Vice Chairman, and the opportunity to remain an integral part of the organization without feeling the need to be part of the daily grind.

Schuerholz will hold some of the same responsibilities that he's had while spending the past eight seasons as team president, but he will now do so at his own pace.

Atlanta also provided title changes for two of its executive vice presidents -- Mike Plant, who will now be president of development, and Derek Schiller, who will be president of business.

Despite disappointing results last season after big moves in his first offseason, A.J. Preller's job with the San Diego Padres isn't in jeopardy.

San Diego set a team record for payroll, but won just 74 games.

There have been rumors that Preller's bosses are so upset that the general manager is on the hot seat, but Mike Dee denies the claims.

"Not true," Dee said. "We have more confidence and excitement about him as GM than when we hired him in 2014. ... He's here for the long haul."

Noah Syndergaard doesn't believe that the Kansas City Royals should have any grievance against him.

Aiming to send a message to the Royals about not being too comfortable in the box, Syndergaard threw the first pitch of Game 3 of the World Series to the backstop. After that game, Syndergaard told reporters that he was standing 60 feet, six inches from the plate if any Royals batter had a problem with him.

Newsday reported on Tuesday that Kansas City intends to "seek retribution" for Syndergaard buzzing Alcides Escobar with the up-and-in fastball.

The two teams are opening the 2016 season with a series against one another.

"I don't think they're too fond of me, but as far as retaliation goes, I really don't know what they're going to retaliate against," Syndergaard said. "All I did was establish the inner part of the plate. So I don't know what this whole retaliation talk is all about. But it's going to be an interesting time. ... I simply threw a pitch on the inside corner. Elevated. A purpose pitch. I don't really see how any retaliation could be made."

Ned Yost refuted the report about forthcoming retribution, telling the Kansas City Star, "Our retribution was winning the World Series."

The New York Yankees suffered a blow to their bullpen on Wednesday when a CT scan revealed that Andrew Miller has a chip fracture in his right wrist.

Miller was hit by a line drive in the seventh inning of a game against the Atlanta Braves.

The reliever will be evaluated by a hand specialist to determine the next course of action. The Yankees did not say how long Miller is expected to be out.

The injury occurred on Miller's first and only pitch of the game, which was lined back at him by Braves pinch-hitter Willians Astudillo.

The Chicago White Sox plan to start Jimmy Rollins at shortstop on Opening Day.

The club announced on Wednesday that Rollins' contract would be purchased from Triple-A Charlotte.

Rollins, 37, entered Wednesday batting .354 (17-for-48) this spring with four home runs and 13 RBIs.
