Tadano, who came over from the Indians in a trade earlier this season, was 0-2 with a 9.62 ERA in nine games, three starts, at Triple-A Sacramento. His struggles could result in him clearing waivers.

The 34-year-old infielder delivered a two-run double in the eighth inning of this one that capped off the scoring. Frazier has not only played his way onto the Angels’ roster this spring, but it seems like he could wind up being the team’s starting second baseman on Opening Day. He’s hitting .368 (7-for-19) with five RBI and a stolen base during Cactus League play.

The 22-year-old right-hander racked up four strikeouts on the day while allowing just one base on balls. The hard-throwing right-hander got five whiffs on 46 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 26 percent. He averaged 98.2 mph with his sinker in the outing and touched as high as 100.2 mph. For the spring, he holds a 4.63 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 10/3 K/BB ratio across 11 2/3 innings.

The 22-year-old infielder reached on a fielder’s choice in the opening inning and swiped second base, but the M’s couldn’t cash him in from there. He then doubled with two outs in the third inning and got the Mariners on the board with a run-scoring single in the fifth inning. He’s having an exceptional spring at the plate, hitting .289 (11-for-38) with four homers, 12 RBI and three stolen bases in 43 plate appearances.

Gilbert punched out five batters on the afternoon while issuing a pair of walks. Despite the constant traffic on the basepaths against him, the 28-year-old righty limited the Halos to an RBI single by Logan O’Hoppe in the second and a sacrifice fly from Zach Neto in the fourth. He did get 15 swings and misses on 66 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 27 percent. Even with this rough outing, Gilbert still sports a terrific 2.38 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 12/6 K/BB ratio over 11 1/3 innings through four spring starts. He remains an elite starting pitching option in fantasy drafts.

Angels’ skipper Kurt Suzuki told reporters after the game that there’s nothing definitive on Neto just yet and that the dynamic 25-year-old shortstop is heading for additional testing. It’s the same hand that landed Neto on the injured list at the end of the 2025 season after he was hit by a pitch and then aggravated it while swinging the bat. All fantasy managers can do now is wait and hope for the best. Expect the Angels to provide an update on his status on Sunday.

Lowder gave up four hits, walked four and committed two errors on pickoff throws, so it’s kind of impressive that he allowed just the two runs. Expectations are that the 24-year-old righty will have a spot in Cincinnati’s rotation with Hunter Greene sidelined. He should eventually prove to be a reliable third or fourth starter, but he might be a little too inconsistent to amass mixed-league value in his first full big-league season.

Osuna has no extra-base hits this spring, but he does have six singles and five walks in 24 plate appearances, giving him a .458 OBP. He’s also 3-for-3 stealing bases. The Rangers figure to send him down instead of carrying him as a fourth outfielder, but he could be called up to serve as a starter if one of the guys ahead of him goes down.

Sosa ignited a three-run rally in the second inning with a leadoff double off of Justin Wrobleski. He then smacked a run-scoring single in the third inning that increased the White Sox’ advantage to 4-0 before scoring on a two-run single off the bat of Tristan Peters. The 26-year-old infielder is having a strong spring, hitting .303 (10-for-33) with two homers, seven RBI and a stolen base in 37 plate appearances. The recent injury to Kyle Teel opens the door for Sosa to see more work as the designated hitter in addition to spelling others around the infield.

Unfortunately, on a day where Vasil was brilliant on the mound, his day ended on a low note as he was pulled due to elbow soreness in the fourth inning. Vasil lost his command and issued back-to-back walks to Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy, prompting a visit from the training staff. He’ll undergo additional evaluation and imaging to see what’s going on here. Look for the White Sox to provide an update on his status on Sunday.

Betts worked a one-out walk off of Grant Taylor in the sixth inning and ultimately scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Alex Freeland. He bounced into a double play and struck out in his other two plate appearances. For the spring, the 33-year-old shortstop is hitting a solid .313 (5-for-16) though he has just one RBI and has yet to hit a home run or steal a base.
