The players attending the MLBPA's free-agent camp will be getting some live game action in the coming days.

Those in attendance will reportedly play against a Japanese minor-league team Tuesday in Florida, according to Evan Drellich of NBC New England.

It's believed there are roughly 50 unsigned players attending the spring camp, including Mike Napoli, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Tyler Clippard, and Chris Johnson.

The Players' Association opened the camp in order to accommodate an overwhelming number of free agents left without a team when spring training opened. Media has not been permitted inside the camp to prevent distractions, though union executive director Tony Clark said that could change.
