Jacob Robson

MLB Outfield #74

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Tigers purchased the contract of OF Jacob Robson from Triple-A Toledo.

Robson could get some run in the Detroit outfield given all the injuries in that area -- and most areas -- of the depth chart. The 26-year-old had slashed .316/.434/.508 with seven home runs and 17 stolen bases in 69 games this summer between Double-A and Triple-A.

William Contreras

MIL Catcher #24

Brewers signed C William Contreras to a one-year contract to avoid arbitration.

No word yet on the financial terms of the deal, though it’s likely to be somewhere in the middle of the $9.9 million figure that Contreras filed at and the $8.55 million that the Brewers countered with. The deal also includes a club option for the 2027 season.

Anthony Banda

MIN Pitcher #43

Twins acquired LHP Anthony Banda from the Dodgers for international bonus pool money.

The 32-year-old southpaw had been designated for assignment by the Dodgers over the weekend, so they were willing to flip him for anything that they could get at this stage. Banda registered a 3.18 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 61/34 K/BB ratio over 65 innings as a key cog in the Dodgers’ bullpen during the 2025 season.

Enrique Hernandez

FA 2nd Baseman #8

Kiké Hernández announced on his Instagram on Thursday that he has reached an agreement on a one-year contract to return to the Dodgers.

Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic adds that it’ll be a $4.5 million deal. It’ll be his 10th season with the Dodgers. The versatile 34-year-old hit just .203/.255/.366 with 10 homers and 35 RBI over 256 plate appearances during the 2025 season. Expect him to see most of his action in 2026 against left-handed pitching.

Paul Sewald

FA Relief Pitcher #62
Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports that the Diamondbacks have agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract to reunite with right-hander Paul Sewald.

The 35-year-old hurler previously pitched for the Diamondbacks in 2023 and 2024. He split his 2025 campaign between the Guardians and the Tigers where he registered a 4.58 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 20/6 K/BB ratio over 19 2/3 innings in his 22 appearances. He’ll give the Diamondbacks another capable high-leverage arm to work at the back end of their bullpen.

Drew Thorpe

CWS Starting Pitcher #33

Drew Thorpe told reporters on Thursday that he’s dealing with a bit of tendinitis in his surgically repaired right elbow.

The encouraging news is that he had a follow-up visit with Dr. Keith Meister who confirmed that the ligament looks good. While the issue isn’t believed to be serious, it has slowed Thorpe’s progression in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. He is still playing catch and is hopeful to throw off of a mound for the first time at some point within the next three weeks.

Nabil Crismatt

TEX Relief Pitcher #61

Rangers’ general manager Chris Young told reporters on Thursday that right-hander Nabil Crismatt will undergo elbow surgery.

It’s a tough break for the 31-year-old hurler who had been slated to compete for Team Colombia in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. No word yet on how long he’ll be shelved for, it’ll ultimately depend on which procedure he undergoes.

Lars Nootbaar

STL Outfield #21

Lars Nootbaar (heel) will be a late arrival to the Cardinals’ spring training camp.

The 28-year-old outfielder is working his way back from surgery on both heels and is currently going through a running progression on an altered gravity treadmill. The issue is that the Cardinals have not had one delivered to their spring complex yet, so Nootbaar will continue to rehab at home until it arrives. His availability for Opening Day remains in question.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand

CIN Infield #33

Reds’ skipper Terry Francona told reporters on Thursday that Christian Encarnacion-Strand tweaked his hamstring in January and is likely to miss the team’s first couple of Cactus League games.

The 26-year-old slugger is currently on a running progression that he’ll need to work through before he’s cleared for live game action. It doesn’t sound like it should impact his availability for the start of the regular season, though any missed time during Cactus League play could hurt his chances of cracking the team’s Opening Day roster.

Max Muncy

LAD Infield #13

Dodgers signed INF Max Muncy to a one-year, $10 million contract extension.

The deal will pay Muncy $7 million for the 2027 season and includes a $10 million club option for the 2028 season with a $3 million buyout. The 35-year-old slugger slashed .243/.376/.470 with 19 homers and 67 RBI in just 100 games for the Dodgers during the 2025 campaign.

Sebastian Walcott

TEX Shortstop #89

Rangers’ general manager Chris Young told reporters on Thursday that top prospect Sebastian Walcott will undergo surgery to repair a UCL tear in his elbow.

The 19-year-old shortstop was shut down during the Arizona Fall League due to what had been termed as arm fatigue. It seems there was a more serious underlying elbow issue at play. The Rangers are hopeful that he’ll be able to undergo the internal brace procedure rather than the full Tommy John surgery, which would give him a quicker timeline to return. Either way though, Walcott is expected to miss the bulk of the 2026 season while recovering.
