Leandro Castro

MIN Outfield

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Twins signed OF Leandro Castro to a minor league contract.

Castro, 27, split his 2016 season between a pair of Independent league teams, Laredo in the American Association and Rockland in the Canadian-American Association, where he hit .316/.355/.524 with 11 homers, 36 RBI and eight stolen bases in 58 games. He possesses an interesting blend of power and speed but will have to prove he can handle minor league pitching before he’s an option for the Twins.

Ivan Herrera

STL Catcher #48

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Iván Herrera is starting at catcher at batting second on Saturday against the Rays.

It’s a notable development from a fantasy perspective that Herrera will make his first appearance behind the plate after injuries limited him to just 14 games there last season. The 25-year-old backstop, who also dealt with knee inflammation during the late stages of spring training, should regain catcher eligibility in most formats within a few weeks, positioning him as an upper-echelon option at the position for the foreseeable future.

Jonah Tong

NYM Starting Pitcher #21

Mets RHP prospect Jonah Tong recorded four strikeouts over four shutout innings on Friday for Triple-A Syracuse.

Tong was hit hard during a brief five-game cameo with the Mets late last season and failed to make the club’s season-opening rotation out of spring training. The 22-year-old top pitching prospect offers enough strikeout potential to be a useful fantasy arm but he’s going to have to wait for his opportunity with New York’s rotation mix overflowing with both talent and depth.

Jose Leclerc

SD Relief Pitcher #37

Padres signed RHP José Leclerc to a minor league contract.

Leclerc made just 10 relief appearances for the Athletics before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery last August. The 32-year-old veteran reliever has plenty of high-leverage experience from his closing days with the Rangers and represents a worthwhile low-risk gamble for the Padres on the chance that he’s able to contribute later this season.

Brendan Rodgers

BOS 2nd Baseman #2

Red Sox re-signed 2B Brendan Rodgers to a minor league contract.

Rodgers returns to Boston on a new minor league pact after undergoing right shoulder surgery earlier this month. The 29-year-old infielder will spend at least a couple months rehabbing before he’s ready to return to game action. The odds of him contributing for the Red Sox later this season are extremely low.

Ryan Brasier

TEX Relief Pitcher #54

Rangers re-signed RHP Ryan Brasier to a minor league contract.

Brasier is back in the fold with the Rangers as middle relief depth at Triple-A Round Rock after failing to make the club as a non-roster invitee earlier this spring. The well-traveled 38-year-old

Matt Bowman

MIN Relief Pitcher #51

Twins re-signed RHP Matt Bowman to a minor league contract.

Bowman winds up returning to Minnesota as middle relief depth after being cut loose to pursue other opportunities at the conclusion of spring training. The 34-year-old’s journeyman odyssey has resulted in 231 career appearances between a staggering seven different organizations at the major-league level since 2016.

John Brebbia

MIN Relief Pitcher #60

Twins signed RHP John Brebbia to a minor league contract.

There are few teams with a clearer path to relief innings than the rebuilding Twins. Brebbia heads to Triple-A St. Paul as emergency middle relief depth after failing to crack Colorado’s season-opening bullpen earlier this spring. The 35-year-old veteran posted an inflated 7.71 ERA across 22 appearances between the Tigers and Braves last year but has made 376 relief appearances in the big leagues since 2017.

Austin Voth

TOR Relief Pitcher #30

Blue Jays signed RHP Austin Voth to a minor league contract.

Voth was in camp with the White Sox this spring after pitching overseas in Japan last year. The 33-year-old veteran provides Toronto’s injury-depleted pitching staff with some additional emergency long relief depth at Triple-A Buffalo.

Tyler Gilbert

CWS Relief Pitcher #40

White Sox optioned LHP Tyler Gilbert to Triple-A Charlotte.

Gilbert was shipped back to the minors ahead of Friday’s game against the Brewers. The 32-year-old lefty gave up two runs during his lone inning of work during Thursday’s season-opening rout in Milwaukee.

Justin Sterner

ATH Relief Pitcher #60

Justin Sterner took the loss in the bottom of the ninth after giving up hits to three of the five batters he faced Friday against the Blue Jays.

Brought into a 2-2 game, Sterner retired Alejandro Kirk and Daulton Varsho on groundouts to start the bottom of the ninth. After that, though, he gave up a single to Kazuma Okamoto, a double to Ernie Clement and a game-winning single to Andrés Giménez. He already appeared to be behind Hogan Harris and Mark Leiter Jr. in line for saves on the A’s, and this one won’t improve his standing.
