Cody Stanley

STL Catcher

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Cody Stanley delivered an RBI single in the ninth inning on Sunday, plating the Cardinals lone run in a loss to the Pirates.

Stanley entered the game late as a defensive replacement and it was his only at-bat on the evening. He’ll continue to function as the Cardinals third catcher over the final month of the season.

Daniel Espino

CLE Pitcher #66

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Daniel Espino worked a scoreless inning in a start against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Espino touched 98 mph while not allowing a baserunner. The 25-year-old is not far removed from being one of the very best pitching prospects in baseball, but essentially missed three full seasons due to injuries. There’s significant risk in Espino’s profile, but Sunday was a reminder of the potential reward.

Target Abreu late for fantasy RP amid Hader injury

February 26, 2026 03:48 PM

Eric Samulski and James Schiano look at the 'landmine-y' world of fantasy relief pitchers and explain why Josh Hader's injury gives Bryan Abreu a massive boost in value.

Landon Knack

LAD Pitcher #96

Landon Knack was charged for three runs while going 2/3 of an inning against the Angels on Sunday.

Knack allowed four hits, including two homers. The right-hander is likely ticketed for Triple-A to open 2026, and likely would need to change organizations to get a chance to start on a consistent basis.

Tyrone Taylor

NYM Outfield #15

Tyrone Taylor hit his second spring homer Sunday as the Mets beat the Astros 4-3.

Yonatan Henriquez singed in Jason Bay to win the game in the bottom of the ninth. Taylor suffered a power outage last season, hitting just two homers in 341 plate appearances for the Mets, so it’s good to see him hitting the ball a little farther this spring. He’ll probably open up as the team’s right fielder against left-handers and the backup to Luis Robert Jr. in center.

Clay Holmes

NYM Pitcher #35

Clay Holmes limited the Astros to one run in four innings and struck out four on Sunday.

Holmes allowed three hits and walked one while getting up to 63 pitches today. Of Team USA’s WBC starters, Holmes might be best equipped to deliver a five-inning outing during the tournament.

Jason Alexander

HOU Pitcher #54

On his 33rd birthday, Jason Alexander pitched a pair of scoreless innings in his start against the Mets on Sunday.

Alexander helped keep the Astros in the playoff hunt down the stretch last year, going 4-2 with a 3.66 ERA in 13 starts and one relief appearance after arriving in late June, but he arrived in camp this year being viewed strictly as a fallback plan. He has an option year left, so he’s Triple-A bound unless an injury epidemic strikes.

Reid Detmers

LAA Relief Pitcher #48

Reid Detmers worked three innings while allowing two runs in his start against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Detmers dealt with traffic throughout the spring outing, givving up five hits and two walks while striking out two. The 26-year-old southpaw is locked into a starting role to begin the season, but it’s hard to recommend Detmers as more than a streaming option to open the campaign.

Logan Gilbert

SEA Pitcher #36

Logan Gilbert gave up a run over 2 2/3 innings of work against the Rangers on Sunday.

Gilbert, 28, allowed two hits, and one of those hits was a solo homer by Cameron Cauley. He whiffed three, and he’s fanned five over his 4 1/3 innings in Cactus League action. Gilbert should be one of the first ten or so pitchers drafted in 2026, and offers massive upside because of his ability to miss bats for a team that should give him plenty of win opportunities.

Jacob Latz

TEX Relief Pitcher #67

Jacob Latz worked three innings and gave up two runs versus the Mariners on Sunday.

Latz, 29, is attempting to win one of the final spots in the Texas rotation. He allowed allowed three hits, and both runs came on a homer by Cole Young in the second inning. Latz has a good chance of winning that final spot, but there’s very little fantasy upside in his profile.

Walker Jenkins

MIN Center Fielder

Walker Jenkins was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.

Jenkins picked up the strain while trying to beat out a double play, and an MRI revealed the strain. The fifth pick of the 2023 draft, Jenkins has a chance to help Minnesota at some point in 2026 assuming good health, and remains one of the best fantasy prospects in the sport.

Anthony Kay

CWS Starting Pitcher #69

Anthony Kay allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings in his spring debut against the Cubs on Sunday.

Kay gave up a solo homer to Alex Bregman in the first. The 30-year-old was signed a two a two-year, $12 million deal after dominating in Japan in 2025, and while there’s reasons to be skeptical it’ll translate at this level, the White Sox will give him a chance to prove it can.
