Chris Paddack

MIA Starting Pitcher #40

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Marlins signed RHP Chris Paddack to a one-year, $4 million contract.

Paddack would seem to be more interesting as a reliever at this point, but it sounds like he’ll be the favorite to open up as the Marlins’ fifth starter over Janson Junk, Ryan Gusto and others. The 30-year-old Paddack had a 5.35 ERA and a poor 16.7% strikeout rate in 28 starts and five relief appearances for the Twins and Tigers last season. In 441 innings since 2020, his ERA stands at 5.06.

Ronny Henriquez

MIA Pitcher #32

Marlins placed RHP Ronny Henríquez on the 60-day injured list following elbow surgery.

Henríquez underwent internal brace surgery in December and is slated to miss the 2026 season, though he should be ready to go in 2027. He looked like a potential closer last season, amassing a 2.25 ERA with a 98/27 K/BB in 73 innings.

Rob Manfred

MLB Commissioner

MLB owners voted Thursday to enforce a rule keeping first and third base coaches in their respective boxes until the pitch is thrown.

It’s already the rule in the books, but enforcement of it is very scarce, and especially lately, coaches seem to be trying to get a little closer to the action in order to identify pitch tipping and potentially signal hitters. Coaches will first get a warning for any infractions and then are subject to ejection afterwards.

Jackson Holliday

BAL Infield #7

Jackson Holliday underwent surgery Thursday to remove the broken hamate bone from his right wrist.

For reasons that weren’t exactly clear, the Orioles were especially quick to rule out Holliday for Opening Day as a result of the injury he suffered while hitting last Thursday. It sounds like they expect him to miss much of April, which should lead to Blaze Alexander starting at second or perhaps Coby Mayo playing third while Jordan Westburg slides over to second.

Zac Gallen

FA Starting Pitcher #23
According to John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM in Phoenix, the Diamondbacks are still exploring creative ways to bring back free agent right-hander Zac Gallen.

Gambadoro notes that all is quiet on the free agent market for Gallen at the moment, which is a bit surprising considering how quickly the rest of the remaining starting pitchers have signed deals with spring camps opening around the league. The Cubs were linked to him in mid-January, but those talks seem to have fizzled. The 30-year-old hurler is the top remaining pitcher out there on the open market, so any team still looking to make a splash addition to their rotation should be interested.

Nick Castellanos

PHI Outfield #8

Phillies released OF Nick Castellanos.

The Phillies had been trying to trade the 33-year-old outfielder in order to get some cost savings on the $20 million that he’s owed for 2026, but finding no takers it sounds like they’ll just part ways instead. Castellanos hit .250/.294/.400 with 17 homers, 72 RBI and four stolen bases in 589 plate appearances during the 2025 season. It shouldn’t take him long to find work elsewhere, especially with the Phillies picking up the tab on his salary.

Evan Phillips

LAD Relief Pitcher #59

Dodgers placed RHP Evan Phillips on the 60-day injured list.

The 31-year-old right-hander continues to progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, but he’s expected to be out until at least July, which means that this move was inevitable. He should be able to provide an already stacked Dodgers’ bullpen with a boost for the second half of the 2026 season.

Enrique Hernandez

LAD 2nd Baseman #8

Dodgers re-signed INF/OF Kiké Hernández to a one-year, $4.5 million contract.

It seemed like an inevitability that Hernández would once again wind up back with the Dodgers. The 34-year-old utilityman is set to serve in his customary bench role and will be deployed primarily against left-handed pitchers. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Cam Schlittler

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Thursday that right-hander Cam Schlittler is dealing with inflammation in the middle of his back.

Schlittler also noted that he has “felt a tweak here and there”, though it’s not believed to be anything too serious. It puts the 25-year-old hurler a bit behind the other pitchers in camp as he’ll avoid throwing off of a mound for the time being, though he will continue to throw. At this point, his status for the start of the regular season is not in jeopardy.

Keston Hiura

LAD 2nd Baseman #7

Dodgers signed INF Keston Hiura to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Still just 29-years-old, Hiura has bounced around between four different organizations over the past three seasons. He spent most of the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Albuquerque for the Rockies where he slashed a solid .272/.369/.507 with 21 homers and 67 RBI in 445 plate appearances. He’ll add quality depth for the Dodgers.
