Brenan Hanifee

DET Relief Pitcher #75

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tigers re-signed RHP Brenan Hanifee to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Hanifee, 25, made his big league debut with the Tigers during the 2023 season, posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and a 3/0 K/BB ratio across his five innings of work. He’ll need a strong showing in Grapefruit League action to crack the team’s Opening Day bullpen.

Zack Wheeler

PHI Starting Pitcher #45

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Zack Wheeler (shoulder) will make two additional minor league rehab starts following Saturday’s outing for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Wheeler is scheduled to throw roughly 45 pitches in his first rehab outing to be followed by two additional tune-up starts before the Phillies make a determination on his status. That rough timeline puts him on track to potentially make his season debut by the end of April or early May, barring any complications.

Can Marlins progress towards competing in 2026?

March 27, 2026 05:22 PM

The Dan Le Batard show debates how the Miami Marlins can get fans back into the good graces of the Miami fanbase and why 2026 might be the beginning of resurrecting that enthusiasm.

Robert Gasser

MIL Starting Pitcher #54

Robert Gasser opened the Triple-A season Friday with 5 2/3 scoreless innings and 11 strikeouts for Nashville.

Gasser produced 18 whiffs on 44 swings and finished with a 37% CSW against a fine Norfolk lineup that had Jackson Holliday batting second. He was in the running for a spot in Milwaukee’s rotation until the end of the spring, and there’s the chance we’ll see him soon, though that also probably depends on how Logan Henderson performs and whether Quinn Priester is able to pull off a quick return from the IL.

Reed Trimble

BAL Left Fielder #62

Reed Trimble left Friday’s game for Triple-A Norfolk because of right hamstring discomfort.

The switch-hitting Trimble is probably day-to-day. He’s the Orioles’ lone minor league position player who is on the 40-man roster, which will help his chances of seeing time in the majors this year.

Bryce Eldridge

SF 1st Baseman #8

Bryce Eldridge singled and walked three times in Triple-A Sacramento’s opener Friday.

Eldridge had a couple of strong games in exhibitions after the Giants sent him down and reaching four times in his first Triple-A contest is another good sign. His hit was a 103-mph line drive. He did strike out in his remaining at-bat. The Giants aren’t going to want to bring up Eldridge as a savior while being this ice cold at the plate, but it’s hard not see him as an upgrade over Casey Schmitt against right-handers.

Sung-Mun Song

SD 3rd Baseman #24

Sung-Mun Song singled in two runs and walked once in a rehab game with Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

He also had a 103-mph lineout to the outfield. Song was limited to eight games this spring by an oblique strain. The Padres could option him to Triple-A once his IL stint is over, but giving him the roster spot currently occupied by Nick Castellanos also seems like a possibility.

Enyel De Los Santos

HOU Relief Pitcher #65

Enyel De Los Santos worked a perfect inning in his rehab appearances with Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

De Los Santos couldn’t escape an IL stint after missing most of the spring with a knee sprain. He was successful last night, but his velocity was down 3-4 mph from last year, showing that he still has some building up to do.

Noah Schultz

CWS Starting Pitcher #76

Noah Schultz pitched four hitless innings in relief for Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Schultz touched 99 mph on the gun while striking out five. Hagen Smith started the game and allowed one run in three innings, so the White Sox had two of their best prospects piggybacking in the opener. Schultz needs to show he can stay healthy and throw more strikes that he did last year, when he walked 14% of the batters he faced between Double- and Triple-A, but there aren’t all that many lefties with arms like his.

Brendan Beck

NYY Starting Pitcher #75

Brendan Beck tossed five scoreless innings and struck out nine for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Beck’s 89-93 mph fastball keeps him from showing up high on prospects lists, but it didn’t stop him from generating 18 whiffs last night, including nine on the 22 sliders he threw. Beck had a 3.36 ERA and a 123/36 K/BB in 131 1/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A last season. It doesn’t seem likely that the Yankees will need him as a starter this year, but with his command, he’d probably hold his own if given the chance.

Evan Carter

TEX Center Fielder #32

Evan Carter is in center field and batting eighth on Saturday against the Phillies.

Carter took a seat to start Opening Day with Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez on the bump and wound up going 0-for-2 off the bench. The 23-year-old center fielder is back in there to face righty Aaron Nola on Saturday afternoon.

Marcelo Mayer

BOS 3rd Baseman #11
Marcelo Mayer is at second base and batting seventh on Saturday against the Reds.

Mayer came off the bench to go 2-for-2 with a double and a pair of runs scored during Thursday’s season-opening win over Cincinnati. The 23-year-old top prospect sat in favor of veteran Isiah Kiner-Falefa to open the contest, which might be a regular occurrence against left-handed starters this season. He’s talented enough to make an impact in deeper mixed leagues as a middle and corner infield option.
