- For the first time in two years, media is allowed in the clubhouses again. (Mike Vassallo)
- Fans were allowed in to watch the Brewers take batting practice on Monday, and fields will be open for the public to watch again on Tuesday and Wednesday. (Adam McCalvy)
- Coaches are required to be up to date with vaccinations to be able to meet face-to-face with players. Meanwhile, players are not required to be vaccinated since that requires CBA negotiation, but won’t be paid or get service time if they miss games because of their vaccination status.

- In NL Central news, the Reds are in full rebuild mode, as they traded Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suarez to the Mariners. (Wick Terrell, Red Reporter)
