  • BOS Relief Pitcher #78
    Jacques will open the season back in the minors after making 23 appearances (one start) last year for the Red Sox. The 29-year-old southpaw figures to be up at some point when Boston’s bullpen needs a fresh arm.
  • CIN Center Fielder #27
    Fraley fouled a ball off himself under the belt in the third inning against the Giants on Monday and was taken out of the game. The 28-year-old outfielder was seen walking under his own power back to the complex, but other than what Bell said after the game, there’s not much of an injury report. We’ll likely get word if there’s anything significant overnight into Tuesday.
  • SF Starting Pitcher #82
    The biggest story of the evening may be Blake Snell reportedly signing with the Giants, but San Francisco may have a rising star on the back end of its rotation this season. The 22-year-old southpaw put together another impressive spring outing and the new addition of his cutter could be the difference throughout the regular season. In seven starts with the Giants last season, Harrison posted a 4.15 ERA with a 35/11 K/BB ratio across 34 2/3 innings.
  • SF Shortstop #37
    The 22-year-old shortstop recorded multiple hits for the first time in a game this spring. He hasn’t had a good camp at the plate going 4-for-28 (.143 AVG) with two RBI, but a performance like this is a step in the right direction. He came into camp as the clear front-runner for the shortstop position after Brandon Crawford’s departure. However, with his offensive struggles and the addition of Nick Ahmed — who is slashing .500/.600/.950 in 20 plate appearances — manager Bob Melvin will have a tough decision to make in the coming days.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #47
    For the first time this spring, Montas went four innings and had his best outing since his first time on the mound in late February. The 30-year-old will be the Reds’ Opening Day starter so it is encouraging to see him get back into rhythm after he allowed four earned runs in back-to-back starts. Montas has a 6.94 ERA this spring with a 10/4 K/BB ratio across 11 2/3 innings.
  • CIN Center Fielder #27
    Reports on the ground say Fraley is back in the dugout and walking around but it’s worth monitoring if this is a significant injury or a precautionary move by the Reds.
  • MIL Center Fielder #11
    The 20-year-old and second-ranked prospect in baseball will make his debut against the New York Mets on March 28. It wasn’t a sure thing that the young star would make the roster given the Brewers’ depth in the outfield, but he’s clearly done enough to get the approval from the front office and coaching staff. The Brewers expressed how they’ve seen Chourio grow from a maturity standpoint and could be a reason why they made the decision to give him this opportunity. “I don’t think anyone handles (expectations) seamlessly the right way,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. “But I think overall he will handle it just fine because I think he cares more about being good than being rich.” In his 14 spring games, Chourio has gone 14-for-49 (.286 AVG) with three doubles and three RBI.
  • FA Starting Pitcher #4
    The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner finally secures a contract with just nine days left until Opening Day. According to Heyman, there is an opt out following the 2024 season, which is something the 31-year-old has been seeking since entering free agency. The Giants’ pitching staff has been decimated by injuries to its pitching depth during spring and will be without at least Alex Cobb (hip), Robbie Ray (elbow) and Tristan Beck (arm) to start the season, so adding Snell to their rotation hopefully lessens the blow. There are some lingering command issues that are worrisome for fantasy managers long-term, but he’s coming off his best season since 2018 after posted a 2.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP with an insane 234/99 K/BB ratio across 180 innings. It’s a phenomenal landing spot as San Francisco’s pitcher-friendly Oracle Park and his familiarity with the NL West should mitigate some likely regression.
  • WSH First Baseman #45
    It took 11 games, but Meneses finally got one over the fence in Spring Training. The 31-year-old has multiple hits in three of his past four games and is 14-for-34 (.412 AVG) with six RBI in March.
  • WSH Left Fielder #24
    The good news? Gallo didn’t strike out in this contest. He was able to get the ball in play four times, but flied out each time. The bad news? Gallo is 3-for-31 with zero home runs during Spring Training. The 30-year-old first baseman hasn’t shown spring success during his 10-year career (.229 career AVG in Spring Training) but it isn’t great to see the struggles given what we’ve seen from him in the regular season over the past two seasons.
