It starts a little earlier than that.
The Atlanta Braves, for example, during 2023 spring training, optioned 2 players to the minors on March 15; outrighted 1 player on March 19; optioned 5 players to the minors on March 20; optioned 1 player on March 23; recalled 1 player on March 27; and released 1 player on March 28.
On March 30, the day before opening day, 3 players were put on the 60-day DL and 1 on the 15-day DL; 1 player was optioned to the minors, and 4 players had their contracts selected from the minors.
