Corbin Carroll Set to Play in Cactus League Game on Wednesday

The plan is for Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (hand) to serve as the designated hitter in the team's Cactus League game on Wednesday against the Athletics, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. The 25-year-old former National League Rookie of the Year has healed quickly from surgery to fix a fractured hamate bone in his […]

Angels Expect Josh Lowe to be Ready for Opening Day

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) will likely start hitting in minor-league games in spring training this weekend, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Lowe can rack up at-bats in minor-league games, so the Angels are currently expecting him to be ready for Opening Day in late March. More oblique issues […]

Jacob Young Starts Swinging, Still Hoping to be Ready for Opening Day

Washington Nationals outfielder Jacob Young (wrist) started swinging in camp on Tuesday, according to Jessica Camerato of MLB.com. Young is still considered day-to-day with a right-wrist contusion, with the Nationals' goal of making sure he's 100% healthy for Opening Day later this month. The 26-year-old has only been able to play in one Grapefruit League […]

Kyle Stowers to Make Grapefruit League Debut on Saturday

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) is scheduled to make his Grapefruit League debut on Saturday in the outfield against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. The Marlins have been cautious with their lone All-Star representative from a year ago, but barring a setback once he starts playing in games, […]

Jasson Dominguez's Stock Falling in Spring Training

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez has been sliding in fantasy baseball drafts with uncertainty about his position and playing time in the Yankees' lineup. Dominguez is ranked as the No. 76 outfielder in the RotoBaller rankings, and his ADP is getting close to lining up with that ranking after dropping throughout the spring. Dominguez […]

Cardinals Send Joshua Baez to Minor-League Camp

The St. Louis Cardinals announced on Monday that they sent outfield prospect Joshua Baez to minor-league camp. Baez homered in three straight Grapefruit League games, but he'll begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Memphis after hitting .287/.384/.500 with an .884 OPS, 20 home runs, 79 RBI, 78 runs scored, and 54 stolen bases in 495 […]

Chandler Simpson, Cedric Mullins Expected to Play Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that outfielders Chandler Simpson (hamstring) and Cedric Mullins (back) are feeling better and should play on Tuesday in Grapefruit League action, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Simpson, the more attractive fantasy outfielder of the two because of his high-end speed, has not played since […]

Yankees Send Spencer Jones to Minor-League Camp

The New York Yankees announced on Monday that they sent outfield prospect Spencer Jones and right-hander Elmer Rodriguez to minor-league camp. Despite looking good at the plate in Grapefruit League games -- Jones went 6-for-18 with three home runs and three stolen bases in spring training -- the 24-year-old left-handed slugger will begin the 2026 […]

Corbin Carroll Could Make Spring Debut This Week

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (hand) could debut in a Cactus League game at some point this week, manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. Carroll had surgery to fix a broken hamate bone in his right hand last month, but the 25-year-old former National League Rookie of the Year is recovering […]

Evan Carter to See Full-Time At-Bats?

Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter is looking competent enough against left-handed pitching so far in spring training that he could earn at-bats against southpaws early in the season, according to manager Skip Schumaker. The left-handed hitter is 5-for-60 (.083) against LHP so far in the big leagues, so we'll see if Schumaker stays true to […]

Max Clark Reassigned to Minor-League Camp

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark was reassigned to minor league camp on Monday. The Tigers' second-ranked prospect participated in his first big league camp this year, but went just 2-for-18 (.111) during his time there. It's not clear which level he'll begin the season at, but if successful, the left-handed slugger could debut in […]

Josue De Paula Sent to Minor-League Camp

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Josue De Paula was assigned to minor-league camp on Sunday. The team's No. 1-ranked prospect (according to MLB.com) was unlikely to make the MLB roster out of spring training but was given a small taste of MLB action. During spring training, De Paula posted a strong .375/.464/.417 line across 14 […]

Joshua Baez Impressing in Spring Training, to Contend for Early Debut?

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez is making a strong impression early in camp and could contend for a much-earlier-than-expected MLB debut. Through nine games, the team's No. 4-ranked prospect has posted a strong .333/.429/.667 slash line with two home runs and one stolen base. Last summer, Baez spent time at High-A and Double-A. […]

Ryan Waldschmidt Reassigned to Minor-League Camp

The Arizona Diamondbacks reassigned outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt to minor-league camp on Sunday, according to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. The D-backs were seriously considering having Waldschmidt make their Opening Day roster due to injuries to Corbin Carroll (hand) and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) in their outfield. The 23-year-old former 31st overall pick in 2024 […]

Nelson Velazquez Could Get Increased Reps

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Nelson Velazquez appears to have a legitimate chance at landing a spot on the 26-man roster. The Cardinals are looking for an option in left field with Lars Nootbaar (heels) still sidelined. Nootbaar is still recovering from surgery on his heels, so it doesn't sound like he'll be ready for Opening […]

Jackson Chourio Should Return to WBC Lineup on Monday

Team Venezuela manager Omar Lopez said that Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (hand) is "ready" and should be back in the lineup for the World Baseball Classic contest against Nicaragua on Monday, according to Kevin Barral of FishOnFirst.com. A left-hand injury has caused Chourio to miss Venezuela's first two games of the WBC, but it's […]

Rangers Claim Dairon Blanco Off Waivers From Royals

The Texas Rangers have claimed outfielder Dairon Blanco off waivers from the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Blanco quickly finds a new home after being designated for assignment by the Royals earlier in the week. Blanco figures to have a legitimate shot at claiming a 26-man roster spot. The 32-year-old is a solid contact hitter […]

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (forearm) is "fine" after he was removed from Friday's World Baseball Classic game for Team USA against Brazil after being hit by a pitch on his right forearm in the fifth inning, according to Team USA manager Mark DeRosa.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Cedric Mullins (back) has been kept out of the lineup lately due to a lingering back issue. Mullins is reportedly feeling better and was able to resume baseball activities.

Rays Being Overly Cautious with Chandler Simpson

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Chandler Simpson (hamstring) hasn't played since Wednesday, but fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried right now. On Saturday, manager Kevin Cash said that the team is being overly cautious with Simpson. It sounds like the speedy outfielder is dealing with left hamstring tightness. The Rays don't want to push Simpson too […]

Byron Buxton Leaves WBC Game After Being Hit by a Pitch on his Elbow

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (elbow) was removed from Friday's World Baseball Classic game early against Brazil after being hit by a pitch on his elbow in the fifth inning, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic.
