Moore provides the Yankees with another potential relief arm after being removed from Philadelphia’s 40-man roster earlier this week. The 25-year-old righty made three underwhelming relief appearances this past season for the Phillies, but put up stellar numbers last year in the minor leagues.

It’s somewhat noteworthy as the Tigers’ lineup contains most of their regulars behind Tarik Skubal. The club’s top prospect has been lighting the world on fire once again this spring, slashing a blistering .462/.533/.769 in his first 15 plate appearances and has had Tigers’ skipper A.J. Hinch praising his approach at the dish. With each passing day, the likelihood of McGonigle opening the season as the team’s starting shortstop increases.

The highly touted 21-year-old southpaw suffered the injury during his Grapefruit League debut. He’s expected to be shelved for the next 3-4 weeks which will end his time in big league camp with the Marlins. White is expected to open the 2026 season at Triple-A Jacksonville, and it wouldn’t be shocking in the slightest to see him make his big league debut at some point during the season.

No word yet on the financial details of the contract. The extension covers the 2027 and 2028 seasons and also includes a club option for the 2029 campaign. Now he’ll have the opportunity to lead the Cardinals through a rebuilding year in 2026 without the threat of being unemployed at season’s end. The 39-year-old skipper has gone 325-323 (.502) in his four seasons at the helm of the Cardinals.

De Vries was treated for possible dehydration; something that happens to plenty of players in the hot sun of Arizona. The 19-year-old is expected to be ok, and should return to the lineup in the coming days. De Vries is an elite fantasy prospect who just might make his debut in 2026, although 2027 seems much more realistic.

Colin Rea, Ben Brown and Assad are competing to make the Cubs as middle relievers but also to be first into the rotation should anything happen, and all three pitched today. Rea opened up with three scoreless frames, Brown followed by striking out three in two scoreless innings and Assad then kept the Dodgers scoreless through the eighth. Of the group, Rea is a lock to have a roster spot and Brown is most likely to open up in Triple-A. Assad is probably better than 50/50 to have a spot, but it’d certainly help his chances if someone got hurt.

Wrobleski would seem to be in line to make the Dodgers as a sixth starter/swingman with Blake Snell expected to open up on the injured list. The 25-year-old southpaw had a 4.32 ERA in two starts and 24 relief appearances covering 66 2/3 innings last year, and he might be a streaming option this season if he gets the chance to start.

Alcántara was a DH today. He’s a little behind after surgery in October to repair a sports hernia, but he should be fine for the start of the regular season. Since he was saddled with a fourth option year over the winter, he’s likely to return to Triple-A Iowa, where he hit .266/.349/.470 with 17 homers last year.

Rushing’s homer came with a runner on in the first inning off Jack Leiter. The 25-year-old is shortly removed from being one of the best catching prospects in baseball, and while it’s hard to see fantasy fireworks in 2026, it’s easy to envision him being a contributor in the coming campaigns.

In addition to the homer, Senzel also drew a pair of walks. The 30-year-old is off to a nice start to the spring in his attempt to win a utlity spot with the Dodgers in 2026. A former top prospect, Senzel is just roster fodder, but his versatility gives him a chance for helping the Dodgers if he does win that job.

That’s the first homer of the spring for Neto after the 25-year-old hit 26 of them in the 2025 regular season. Neto likely would have been a 30/30 player if not for injuries, and he seems a good bet to reach those marks in 2026 as long as he stays on the field.
