San Diego Designates Tyler Wade For Assignment

The San Diego Padres have designated infielder Tyler Wade for assignment. Wade was competing for a depth role in the infield during camp, but fell short in the competition. During camp, Wade held a .209/.292/.349 slash line and tallied just nine hits across 19 contests. He hit just one double and a long ball. Instead, […]


Michael Fulmer Starting Season In Triple-A Rotation

Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Michael Fulmer will open the season in the Worcester Red Sox starting rotation at the Triple-A level. Fulmer signed a two-year minor league contract with Boston earlier in the winter. During camp, the Red Sox began to increase his workload to attempt to transition him to a starter. However, the […]


Oscar Colas Clears Waivers, Opening Campaign At Triple-A

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A. The White Sox designated Colas for assignment earlier this week after they claimed Greg Jones. During spring training, Colas posted a modest .250/.33/.375 slash line across 10 contests. Last season, Colas appeared in 13 contests in Chicago and posted an […]


Rangers Option Patrick Corbin To Triple-A

The Texas Rangers have optioned left-handed pitcher Patrick Corbin to Triple-A Round Rock. The Rangers signed Corbin to a one-year contract earlier in March. However, the team will opt for Corbin to begin his 2025 campaign in the minor leagues. This transaction will likely allow Corbin to increase his workload before returning to the big […]


Ryan Fernandez Dealing With Hip Tightness

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Ryan Fernandez (hip) was unable to pitch on Thursday due to hip tightness. Instead, Phil Maton was deployed in the eighth inning. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he should contend for a high-leverage role when healthy. Last season, Fernandez made his MLB debut and tossed 66 […]


Danny Jansen Starting On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Danny Jansen (rib) is in Friday's starting lineup. Jansen will be behind the dish and bat sixth against Colorado left-hander Kyle Freeland. Jansen was sidelined at the end of spring training due to a pulled muscle in his rib cage. However, the 29-year-old was able to progress enough and will not […]


Hunter Goodman Starting Behind The Plate

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman will get the starting nod in their season opener on Friday afternoon. Goodman will play catcher and bat sixth against Tampa Bay right-hander Ryan Pepiot. Goodman was competing for the starting catcher job during camp and appears to have won the job for the time being. During spring training, the […]


Spencer Strider Starting Rehab Assignment On Saturday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider (elbow) will make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. Strider was placed on the 15-day IL earlier this week. Strider is working his way back from an internal brace procedure he underwent last April. He was able to log four innings during spring training and flashed elite […]


Tanner Bibee Starting On Sunday

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee (illness) will make his season debut on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. Bibee was initially scheduled to start on Opening Day, but dealt with food poisoning prior to first pitch. Instead, Ben Lively got the nod. On Saturday, Gavin Williams is set to take the mound. Last summer, […]


Ronny Mauricio Hits 10-Day Injured List

The New York Mets have placed infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) on the 10-day injured list. Mauricio is still working his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in January 2024. However, the 23-year-old has faced a few setbacks which has slowed down his recovery process. Mauricio was unable to participate in any spring […]


Johnathan Rodriguez Joining Major-League Roster

Cleveland Guardians outfield prospect Johnathan Rodriguez was promoted to the MLB roster prior to Thursday's contest. Rodriguez was initially optioned to Triple-A Columbus but returned to the majors once Cleveland placed several pitchers on the injured list. During spring training, the 25-year-old posted a .217/.375/.391 slash line with a long ball. He received a brief […]


Vinny Capra Launches First Career Long Ball

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Vinny Capra went 1-for-3 with a solo shot on Opening Day. Capra was competing for a depth role in the infield during camp and earned the starting nod on Opening Day. In this contest, he struck out once but was able to go deep for the first time in his MLB […]


Jorge Polanco Goes Deep On Opening Day

Seattle Mariners third baseman Jorge Polanco went 3-for-3 with a home run during their 4-2 victory over the Athletics on Opening Day. Polanco tallied his first hit with a single in the second frame off Luis Severino. In the fourth, he would tally his second single of the evening. He would cap off his performance […]


Blake Treinen Earns Save On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen got the call in the ninth inning to seal the victory against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Treinen allowed a leadoff single to second baseman Gleyber Torres. He then struck out Riley Greene for his first out. However, he then walked Spencer Torkelson. Treinen was able to bounce […]


Ryan Helsley Earns Save On Opening Day

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Ryan Helsley tossed a shutout inning en route to earning the save on Opening Day in their victory against the Minnesota Twins. Helsley struck out the first two batters he saw before allowing a two-out double to outfielder Harrison Bader. However, Helsley returned to form and struck out Matt Wallner […]


Roansy Contreras Clears Waivers, Starting Season At Triple-A

Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitcher Roansy Contreras cleared waivers and will begin his campaign with Triple-A Norfolk. Last season, Contreras spent time with several clubs. He logged 68 1/3 cumulative innings at the major league level. Across this stint, Contreras posted a 4.35 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP. He tallied 56 punchouts and served up walks […]


Jerar Encarnacion Will Undergo Surgery On Friday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jerar Encarnacion (hand) is set to undergo surgery on his fractured left hand on Friday. He suffered this injury during spring training. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the team will likely provide a definitive timetable following the operation. Encarnacion was in a good position to make the […]


Bryce Eldridge Resumes Playing

San Francisco Giants first base prospect Bryce Eldridge (wrist) has resumed playing in camp, but the team has not made a decision on where he will begin his campaign. Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay noted that the team may send their top prospect to their Double-A or Triple-A, but wants to be "extremely" careful […]


Drew Romo Dealing With Finger Injury

Colorado Rockies catching prospect Drew Romo (finger) is dealing with a finger injury. Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reported that the 23-year-old suffered this injury while sliding into a base during a minor league contest last week. Romo was left off the Opening Day Triple-A roster as a result. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his […]


Max Muncy Quiet In MLB Debut

Athletics second base prospect Max Muncy got the starting nod on Opening Day but went 0-for-3 at the plate. Muncy was able to earn a spot on the roster given his strong play in camp and due to Zack Gelof (wrist) opening the season on the IL. In Thursday's contest, Muncy struck out twice. In […]


Jacob Wilson Tallies Hit In Season Opener

Athletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson went 1-for-3 with a single on Opening Day. Wilson got the starting nod at shortstop and batted in the nine-hole. He hit a single in the third frame off Seattle ace Logan Gilbert. Wilson made his MLB debut last summer but only appeared in 25 games before suffering a season-ending […]

Jaden Schwartz Scores Twice On Thursday

Seattle Kraken left wing Jaden Schwartz found the back of the net twice during their 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. Schwartz did all of his damage in the second frame. He first scored on the power play on a tip-in. Later in the period, he would find the back of the net […]


Casey DeSmith Stops 46 Shots Against Calgary

Dallas Stars goaltender Casey DeSmith stopped 46 of the 48 shots he saw en route to defeating the Calgary Flames on Thursday evening. The Flames had nearly double Dallas' shot total, but DeSmith was able to lead the way. His first blemish came in the second frame when center Nazem Kadri beat him with a […]


Matvei Michkov Scores Twice, Adds Assist On Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers rookie right wing Matvei Michkov scored two goals and added an assist during their victory on Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens. Michkov opened the scoring in the first period on a wrist shot. Later in the frame, he added the primary helper on Sean Couturier's 13th goal of the season. Michkov concluded his […]


Nikita Kucherov Tallies Four Points In Victory

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov tallied four points during their 8-0 victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Thursday evening. Kucherov would tally the primary assist on Jake Guentzel's game-opening goal. In the second, Kucherov would find the back of the net on a backhand and added another primary helper, this time on […]


Connor Zary Departs Thursday's Game Early

Calgary Flames center Connor Zary (knee) departed Thursday's contest early. Zary collided with Dallas winger Mikko Rantanen in the final frame. He was in pain before exiting the contest. Zary missed time earlier in the season with a knee injury as well and could be facing another extended absence. Fantasy managers should monitor his status […]


Vinny Capra Starting At Third Base

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Vinny Capra is getting the starting nod at the hot corner on Opening Day. Capra enjoyed a productive spring training in which he posted a .292/.358/.729 slash line with three doubles and six home runs. He swiped two bags and held a 5:14 BB:K. This performance has already begun to reward […]


Triston Casas Starting On Opening Day

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (hand) is starting at first base and batting cleanup on Opening Day. Casas suffered a minor hand injury after fielding a ground ball earlier this week. The X-rays came back negative and did not inhibit him from playing on Opening Day. This is an excellent sign for the […]


Clarke Schmidt Targeting Mid-April Return

New York Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) is targeting a return "in the middle of the month." The Yankees placed Schmidt on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday due to rotator cuff tendinitis. However, it appears Schmidt will not be sidelined for long. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he may […]
