Andrew Kittredge

STL Relief Pitcher #36

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cardinals and RHP Andrew Kittredge avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.63 million deal.

The Cardinals just acquired Kittredge from the Rays last week for OF Richie Palacios. The 33-year-old Kittredge posted a 3.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a 10/2 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings with the Rays in 2023 after coming back from Tommy John surgery. In 2022, Kittredge registered a 3.15 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, and 14/2 K/BB ratio in 20 innings before getting hurt, so he figures to provide a boost for the Cardinals’ pen.

Didier Fuentes

ATL Starting Pitcher #72

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Didier Fuentes struck out five in three perfect innings Friday in the Braves’ 7-6 win over the Yankees.

Long after the starters were gone, the Yankees nearly pulled off a big comeback, scoring five times off Ian Mejia in the top of the ninth. Fuentes, who made his major league debut one week after his 20th birthday last June, worked at 96-99 mph and threw 30 of his 42 pitches for strikes today. There’s little chance of the Braves making him their fifth starter, but he has a chance of being a factor this summer

Snell 'a really risky pick' in fantasy drafts

March 13, 2026 02:42 PM

Eric Samulski reacts to news that Los Angeles Dodgers' starting pitcher Blake Snell will miss at least six weeks due to a shoulder injury and why fantasy managers should exercise caution with drafting him.

Ryan Weathers

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Ryan Weathers gave up four runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings Friday in a loss to the Braves.

Two poor outings in a row have left Weathers with an 8.68 ERA this spring. Still, he did have a 37% CSW today, and he allowed two fewer hard-hit balls than hits. His velocity remains great — he hit 100.0 on the gun today — but, of course, if it was all about stuff, the Marlins wouldn’t have given him up for a package headed by the Yankees’ 15th-best prospect.

Kyle Farmer

ATL 2nd Baseman #6

Kyle Farmer went 3-for-3 with an RBI against the Yankees as the Braves’ DH on Friday.

For better or worse, Farmer is looking like a pretty good bet to make the Braves with Ha-Seong Kim on the injured list. He’s 13-for-27 this spring after hitting just .227/.280/.365 in 300 plate appearances for the Rockies this spring.

Ryan McMahon

NYY 3rd Baseman #19

Ryan McMahon went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Friday, dropping his spring average to .107.

McMahon tweaked his batting stance in the hopes of cutting back on his strikeouts, but he thus far has eight of those and only three hits in 30 plate appearances. As poorly as he performed offensively after arriving from Colorado last summer, McMahon’s job could be in some jeopardy in May if José Caballero is performing well when Anthony Volpe is ready to return.

Daulton Varsho

TOR Center Fielder #5

Daulton Varsho went 3-for-3 with two homers and five RBI in powering the Blue Jays past the Twins 6-1 on Friday.

Varsho usually hit in the bottom half of the Blue Jays lineup last year, but he’s making a strong case to take over the second spot in between George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. this season. He’s hitting .452/.485/.935 with just one strikeout in 33 plate appearances this spring.

Cody Ponce

TOR Starting Pitcher #66

Although he walked four, Cody Ponce recorded six outs without allowing a run Friday against the Twins.

With his pitch count up, Ponce was lifted with the bases loaded and two out in the first. Michael Plassmeyer then retired Ryan Kreidler. Ponce came back out for the second and walked two more in a scoreless frame. In the third, he retired Brooks Lee and gave up a double to Matt Wallner before being lifted again. In all, Ponce threw 31 of his 59 pitches for strikes. The bullpen then followed his lead the rest of the way, and the Jays won the game 6-1 despite walking 10 batters in all.

Mick Abel

MIN Starting Pitcher #20
Mick Abel yielded two runs in 3 1/3 innings and struck out four against the Blue Jays on Friday.

After three straight scoreless starts to begin the spring, Abel gave up a two-run homer to the second batter he faced today. He was fine after that, though his 19% CSW wasn’t very good. He’s likely currently ahead of Zebby Matthews in line for the fifth spot in Minnesota’s rotation, especially if the Twins are focusing on ERA. Matthews’ is 10.50 ERA right now, even though his FIP is 2.96.

Enrique Bradfield Jr.

BAL Center Fielder #89

Orioles reassigned OF Enrique Bradfield Jr. to minor league camp.

The 24-year-old really struggled in his limited Grapefruit League action, hitting .091 (1-for-11) with a 1/3 K/BB ratio and three runs scored. Regardless of how he performed though, the O’s have a crowded mix of outfielders fighting for spots on the Opening Day roster and Bradfield was always going to be on the outside. He’ll open up the season as extra depth at Triple-A Norfolk.

Trevor Rogers

BAL Starting Pitcher #28

Orioles’ manager Craig Albernaz announced Friday that left-hander Trevor Rogers will start on Opening Day against the Twins.

The 28-year-old southpaw is certainly deserving of the honor after posting a scintillating 1.81 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and a 103/29 K/BB ratio over 109 2/3 innings in his 18 starts with the O’s. It’s a nice matchup for him as well as the Twins’ lineup is loaded with left-handed hitters.

Robert Stephenson

LAA Relief Pitcher #24
Robert Stephenson (elbow) is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day after suffering a setback this week.

The 33-year-old hurler will undergo further evaluation. Talent has never been in question for Stephenson, it’s his inability to stay on the field that has been frustrating. He had been in the running to open the season as the team’s closer, which could now open the door for Kirby Yates to assume the ninth inning role.
