Felix Bautista, a pitcher for the Orioles, is recovering from elbow surgery and plans to start throwing in April for a return in 2025. He feels better after a follow-up procedure and aims to pitch later this season if possible. Tyler Matzek, a reliever for the Braves, is 16 months into rehab from Tommy John surgery and feels great with no limitations. He may start the season with a brief rehab assignment to get more appearances.
