Twins’ J.A. Happ: Joining team at camp
J.A. Happ (illness) has cleared all COVID-19-related protocols and is scheduled to join the Minnesota Twins for workouts Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.Happ has been absent thus far from camp after testing positive for COVID-19 in February, but the veteran southpaw wasn’t believed to be dealing with any serious symptoms as a result of the virus. That said, expect the Twins to take it slowly with Happ during the ramp-up process, with his Grapefruit League debut unlikely to come within the next week. However, with Opening Day still nearly a month away, Happ should have sufficient time to build up to a starter’s workload by the time his first turn in the rotation comes up during the regular season.

J.A. Happ: Option declined by Yankees
The Yankees declined J.A. Happ’s $17 million option for 2021 on Friday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.The veteran southpaw’s 2021 option was set to vest if he reached the pro-rated totals of 62 innings or 10 starts this season, but he fell short in both categories. Happ made nine starts in 2020 with a 3.47 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 42:15 K:BB across 49.1 innings, and it’s not much of a surprise the team wasn’t interested at the $17 million figure.

Yankees’ J.A. Happ: Turns in gem
J.A. Happ tossed a scoreless outing while giving up just three hits and striking out five across 7.1 innings Saturday. He did not factor into the decision.Happ was in a groove Saturday as he tossed 64 of his 90 pitches for strikes and did not walk a batter for the first time this season.
