Bob Wirz has covered the professional independent leagues for a long time, and one of his excellent pieces of work is updating the list of former independent players in MLB and MiLB organizations. Earlier this week his IndyBaseballChatter.com blog featured a June 2020 update on many of these players. Here is the blog post:

Here is a snippet from his blog post:
If the 2020 major league season ever gets off the ground virtually all of the 18 former Independent Baseball players on major league rosters seem likely to be on active rosters. Much of the intrigue likely will turn to some others who could be added if rosters expand from 26 to 30 players and if teams are allowed to have another group–estimates have been 20 or so per team–as emergency replacements.
The best bet among possible additions could be left-handed hurler Tyler Matzek, who was outstanding with the Atlanta Braves during spring training although officially working out of the minor league camp. Matzek, who has major league experience, played for Texas in the American Association last season.
