Phillips signed a minor-league deal with the Rockies on Friday, the Denver Post reports.
RotoWire.com Recommends: Phillips would likely back up Chris Iannetta if Yorvit Torrealba doesn\'t re-sign with the club.

Hampton (shoulder) has filed for free agency.
RotoWire.com Recommends: He\'s not going to pitch in 2010, so Hampton will likely wait until next winter to make an attempted comeback by signing with a new team.

Vizquel is close to signing a one-year deal with the White Sox, FOXSports.com reports.
RotoWire.com Recommends: If he signs, Vizquel will likely serve as a backup at second, third, and shortstop for the White Sox.

Willis\' (anxiety) status with the Tigers heading into 2010 is unclear.
RotoWire.com Recommends: “In Willis\' case, which we all know to be unique, he needs to throw the ball over the plate on a consistent basis,” general manager Dave Dombrowski said. “We don\'t know if he\'ll do that or not.” Manager Jim Leyland wanted Willis to pitch in winter ball, but he hasn\'t thus far. Being saddled with his $12 million salary for 2010 is part of the reason that the Tigers will have to be light spenders in free agency this winter, while it\'s also made the idea of trading Willis elsewhere obsolete.

Tatum was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Friday, the Baltimore Sun reports.
RotoWire.com Recommends: Tatum had a rather dismal season at the plate for Triple-A Louisville and in 26 games with the Reds last season. The 2004 third-round pick is a strong defensive catcher, and should get a shot to back up Matt Wieters during the 2010 season.

Corps (elbow) still hasn\'t pitched in winter ball this offseason.
RotoWire.com Recommends: Reports about Corpas\' health have been positive this fall, but we\'d like to see him back on the mound with his velocity back to normal before endorsing him as a staff filler option -- or even as an insurance policy for closer Huston Street in 2010.

Reyes (elbow) has been added back to the 40-man roster.
RotoWire.com Recommends: He may not pitch at all in 2010, but the Indians will take some time to weigh their options regarding his roster spot. In addition to Tommy John surgery, Reyes underwent ulnar nerve transposition surgery in June.

Westbrook (elbow) has been removed from the 60-day DL.
RotoWire.com Recommends: The Indians are hoping that he\'ll be able to anchor the front of their rotation in 2010 as Westbrook will be closing out the final year of a three-year contract. Westbrook pitches to contact and does a good job keeping the ball on the ground and in the yard, but his value will be very limited if the Indians struggle during a rebuilding year in 2010 as expected. Beyond that, his health isn\'t guaranteed either as Westbrook is returning from June 2008 Tommy John surgery.

Soriano (knee) has been removed from the DL.
RotoWire.com Recommends: He\'s still expected to be ready for the start of spring training. Soriano was a huge disappointment in 2009 with a .241/.303/.423 line along with 20 homers and 55 RBI in 477 at-bats. Durability has become a major concern for Soriano in Chicago, but you may be able to acquire him at a discounted rate in drafts and auctions this spring.

Tazawa (groin) has been removed from the 60-day DL.
RotoWire.com Recommends: Assuming that the Red Sox want him to continue working as a starter, it\'s unlikely that Tazawa will break camp with the big club since their rotation is pretty much set. That said, he could be the first starter called up if any of the five projected regulars suffer an injury before the start of the regular season.
