Jose Martinez

INT Outfield #16

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jose Martinez has signed with Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League.

Martinez enjoyed a fruitful run with the Cardinals between 2016-2019, but he never really found a position defensively and battled a serious knee injury last year in the Mets’ system. He turns 34 years old this July.

Bryan Hudson

CWS Relief Pitcher #60

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Mets have agreed to acquire left-hander Bryan Hudson from the White Sox for cash considerations.

The White Sox designated Hudson for assignment over the weekend and the Mets took advantage by making them a cash offer for the 28-year-old southpaw. Hudson has proven to be a viable bullpen arm over the past couple of seasons and should add quality depth to the Mets’ bullpen mix.

Andrew Saalfrank

AZ Pitcher #27

Diamondbacks placed LHP Andrew Saalfrank on the 60-day injured list with a torn left labrum.

The Diamondbacks announced the unfortunate news on Tuesday that Saalfrank had to undergo shoulder surgery and would miss the entire 2026 season. Placing him on the 60-day injured list now frees up a roster spot for the club to make the signing of Carlos Santana official. Saalfrank should be fully recovered and ready to go for the start of spring training in 2027.

Carlos Santana

AZ 1st Baseman #41

Diamondbacks signed 1B Carlos Santana to a one-year, $2 million contract.

The deal which was agreed to last week, is official now that Santana has passed his physical. The 39-year-old hit just .219/.308/.325 with 11 homers and seven stolen bases during his time with the Guardians and Cubs in 2025, so it’s difficult to envision a career renaissance in 2026. He’ll share time at first base and designated hitter with Pavin Smith and Tyler Locklear.

Tomoyuki Sugano

COL Starting Pitcher #19

Rockies signed RHP Tomoyuki Sugano to a one-year, $5.1 million contract.

The Rockies desperately needed to increase the depth of their starting rotation, but signing an underperforming 36-year-old hurler with severe home run issues and expecting him to pitch well at Coors Field seems like a stretch. Like most Rockies’ starting pitchers, Sugano should be completely avoided for fantasy purposes.

Kris Bryant

COL Designated Hitter #23

Rockies placed INF/OF Kris Bryant on the 60-day injured list with lumbar degenerative disk disease.

Word over the winter was that the 34-year-old slugger wasn’t considering retirement, but that may eventually be the only path available to Bryant if he’s unable to overcome his chronic back issues. Bryant has played in just 170 games during his first four seasons with the Rockies.

Cody Bradford

TEX Pitcher #61

Cody Bradford (elbow) will incorporate breaking balls into his bullpen session for the first time on Tuesday since undergoing surgery to repair a UCL injury in his left elbow.

It will be the seventh bullpen session that the 27-year-old southpaw has thrown this offseason, but the first that won’t be comprised of all fastballs. Bradford is on schedule in his recovery and is still targeting May for a return to the Rangers.

Robert Suarez

ATL Pitcher #75

Braves’ right-hander Robert Suarez will be a late arrival to spring training due to visa issues.

That explains why the 34-year-old hurler wasn’t seen around camp when pitchers and catchers reported. No word yet on how long Suarez will need to resolve the visa issue, but it won’t impact his availability for the start of the regular season. He’s expected to function in a setup capacity in front of incumbent closer Raisel Iglesias.

Jonah Heim

ATL Catcher #28

Braves signed C Jonah Heim to a one-year contract.

No word yet on the financial terms of the agreement. With Sean Murphy expected to miss time to open the season, the Braves needed to add quality depth behind the plate and they do so by picking up the best option that was still available on the open market. Heim should begin the season as the backup to Drake Baldwin, though he’s unlikely to see enough playing time to gain relevancy from a fantasy perspective.

Spencer Schwellenbach

ATL Pitcher #56

Braves placed RHP Spencer Schwellenbach on the 60-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

Ouch. That’s never the news that you want to hear to open spring training. The last update that we got from Braves’ president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos back in November was that Schwellenbach was pain-free. The Braves are hopeful that he’s just dealing with bone spurs, but it’s going to cost him the first two months of the season at a minimum. It’s a tough early break for the Braves and for fantasy managers who may have invested in Schwellenbach in early drafts.

Tomoyuki Sugano

FA Starting Pitcher #19
Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports that the Rockies have agreed to a one-year contract with free agent right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano.

The 36-year-old hurler made the transition to Major League Baseball in 2025 and started out strong, posting a 3.38 ERA over 80 innings in his first 14 starts for the Orioles. He then stumbled to a 5.96 ERA over 77 innings in his final 16 starts. Sugano served up a league-leading 33 home runs in 2025, an issue that will only be compounded by pitching half of his games at Coors Field. For fantasy purposes, just stay away.
