Tommy Hanson

SF Starting Pitcher

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Tommy Hanson will throw a bullpen session Sunday and pitch in instructional league games after that if his shoulder holds up.

Hanson has done well long-tossing so far, so getting back on the mound is the next step. While it’s all good news so far, he remains iffy to pitch for the Braves again this season.

Jacob Waguespack

MIL Relief Pitcher #40

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Brewers signed RHP Jacob Waguespack to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The Rays thought they had something interesting in Waguespack a couple of years ago, but he went on to miss most of 2024 with shoulder issues and he didn’t impress them enough in the minors to get a chance last season. He wound up with a 2.45 ERA and a 31/11 K/BB in 33 innings as a Triple-A reliever, with the last 10 of his 25 appearances coming after the Phillies picked him up. He’ll be a long shot to win a spot in the Milwaukee pen this spring.

Austin Barnes

NYM Catcher #15

Mets signed C Austin Barnes to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The 36-year-old backstop saw just 44 plate appearances with the Dodgers during the 2025 campaign before being released in May. He then signed with the Giants at the end of June and spent the remainder of the season at the Triple-A level. He’ll add quality catching depth for the Mets and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Mickey Gasper

WSH Catcher #11

Nationals designated C/INF Mickey Gasper for assignment.

The versatile 30-year-old was just claimed off of waivers from the Twins last week, but he’ll head back into roster uncertainty after the Nationals needed to clear a 40-man roster spot for Richard Lovelady on Thursday. While Gasper has had continued success at the Triple-A level, he has struggled to a .133/.250/.195 slash line with a 28/14 K/BB ratio over 133 plate appearances at the big league level over the past two seasons.

Richard Lovelady

WSH Relief Pitcher #57

Nationals claimed LHP Richard Lovelady off of waivers from the Mets.

Lovelady was inked to a one-year contract as a free agent in October, but the Mets attempted to sneak him through waivers this week as they needed to clear room on their 40-man roster. The 30-year-old left-hander posted an 8.49 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and a 12/6 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings in 10 appearances between the Blue Jays and Mets in 2025.

Marco Gonzales

SD Starting Pitcher #27

Padres signed LHP Marco Gonzales to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The 33-year-old southpaw will earn $1.5 million if he makes the Padres’ roster and can earn up to an additional $1 million in incentives. Gonzales didn’t pitch at all during the 2025 season while recovering from flexor tendon surgery. He’s now fully recovered and should be a full go for the start of spring training. If healthy, he makes for a nice depth signing for the Padres.

Derek Law

ARI Relief Pitcher #58

Diamondbacks signed RHP Derek Law to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Law, 35, missed the entire 2025 season after undergoing surgery to repair a tear in his flexor tendon. He’s expected to be ready to return in April or May. He’ll earn $1.5 million if he makes the Diamondbacks’ active roster and can earn up to an additional $500,000 in incentives. Given his success in the two years before the injury, it makes for a nice low-risk signing for the Diamondbacks.

Osvaldo Bido

LAA Starting Pitcher #45

Angels designated RHP Osvaldo Bido for assignment.

The Angels just claimed Bido off of waivers from the Marlins on Tuesday, but they needed to clear a roster spot after acquiring Jayvien Sandridge from the Yankees on Thursday so Bido got the boot once again. The 30-year-old right-hander has been claimed off of waivers four times already since the 2025 season ended — by the Braves, Rays, Marlins and Angels — so it seems likely that he’ll generate interest once again this time around.

Jayvien Sandridge

LAA Relief Pitcher #88

Angels acquired LHP Jayvien Sandridge from the Yankees for cash considerations.

The Yankees had designated the 26-year-old southpaw for assignment earlier in the week, so they were willing to flip him for anything that they could get. Sandridge made his big league debut with the Yankees in 2025, giving up two runs on one hit and a pair of walks over 2/3 of an inning in his lone appearance. His strikeout upside makes him a candidate to crack the Halos’ Opening Day bullpen with a strong showing in Cactus League action.

Bryan Ramos

CWS 3rd Baseman #44

White Sox designated INF Bryan Ramos for assignment.

The White Sox needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Seranthony Domínguez on Thursday and unfortunately it looks like Ramos was the odd-man out this time around. The 23-year-old infielder has slashed a cringe-inducing .198/.244/.333 with three homers, 13 RBI and a 26/7 K/BB ratio over 120 plate appearances with the White Sox over the past two seasons. He could potentially attract some interest on waivers.

Seranthony Dominguez

CWS Relief Pitcher #48

White Sox signed RHP Seranthony Domínguez to a two-year, $20 million contract.

The deal, which was agreed to on Friday, is now official. The 31-year-old hurler is expected to open the season as the White Sox’ closer, which makes him relevant for fantasy purposes. Domínguez registered a 3.16 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 79/36 K/BB ratio over 62 2/3 innings between the Orioles and Blue Jays in 2025. He has 40 career saves to his name, with a high of 16 coming during his rookie campaign with the Phillies back in 2018.
