Mariners prospect Victor Sanchez died in Venezuela from injuries sustained in a boating accident in his home country in February, the team announced. He was 20.

"The Seattle Mariners are saddened to learn of the passing of Victor Sanchez,"Mariners executive vice president and general manager Jack Zduriencik said in a statement.

Commissioner Rob Manfred says Major League Baseball expects to make a decision on possible discipline against Angels' star Josh Hamilton by Opening Day.

Manfred said Friday that "we are working toward a result."

New MLB commissioner Rob Manfred says he has received a formal request from Pete Rose asking that his lifetime ban be lifted and that he will consider the all-time hits leader's request "on its merits."

"I want to make sure I understand all of the details of the Dowd Report and Commissioner [Bart] Giamatti's decision and the agreement that was ultimately reached," Manfred said after a meeting with Dodgers players in Arizona on Monday morning. "I want to hear what Pete has to say, and I'll make a decision once I've done that."

Rose, 73, played from 1963 to 1986, amassing 4,256 hits, still a major league record.

Al Rosen, the third baseman who won the 1953 American League MVP and played on the last Cleveland Indians team to win the World Series, has died. He was 91.

The Indians said Rosen died Friday night. The team did not provide any other details.

Rosen played his entire career with Cleveland from 1947 to 1956. He was a member of the Indians' 1948 World Series title team, playing only five games that season and getting one at-bat in the series win over the Boston Braves.

Rosen was also an executive for both the New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants.

Minnie Minoso, who hit a two-run home run in his first at-bat when he became major league baseball's first black player in Chicago in 1951, has died, the Cook County medical examiner said Sunday.

The medical examiner's office did not immediately offer further details. There is some question about his age but the White Sox say he was 90.
