Alec Bohm

PHI 3rd Baseman #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Phillies placed 3B Alec Bohm on the 10-day injured list retroactive to September 3rd with a left hand strain.

Bohm had missed the last six games for Philadelphia. A lingering hand injury isn’t good news at this point in the season. Kody Clemens and Edmundo Sosa are the most likely Phillies to benefit with increased playing time in Bohm’s absence. Clemens has enough power to be an option in NL-Only leagues.

Eduarniel Nunez

ATH Relief Pitcher #54

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Athletics optioned RHP Eduarniel Nuñez to Triple-A Las Vegas and RHP Henry Baez to Double-A Midland and reassigned LHP Wei-En Lin, LHP Domingo Robles, RHP A.J Causey, RHP JJ Goss, RHP Kenya Huggins RHP Yunior Tur, C Shane McGuire; and INF Joey Meneses to their minor league camp.

Nuñez was awful in his limited action in 2025 with a 7.11 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over 10 appearances. The 26-year-old will likely be an up-and-down option for the A’s in 2026.

Target Abreu late for fantasy RP amid Hader injury

February 26, 2026 03:48 PM

Eric Samulski and James Schiano look at the 'landmine-y' world of fantasy relief pitchers and explain why Josh Hader's injury gives Bryan Abreu a massive boost in value.

Jacob deGrom

TEX Pitcher #48

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told reporters that Jacob deGrom’s spring debut will come “really soon.”

This comes after deGrom threw a 30-pitch side session. The goal according to Schumaker is for deGrom to make three-to-four spring training starts before the regular season. The 37-year-old was fantastic in 2025 with a 2.97 ERA and 185/37 K/BB over his 172 2/3 innings, and as long as he can stay healthy, he still has the stuff to be a fantasy stalwart.

Michael Helman

TEX Outfield #23

Michael Helman hit a two-run homer in a 9-4 win for the Rangers over the Mariners on Sunday.

It’s Helman’s first homer of the Cactus League season, and it came off James Kingsbury in the sixth inning. Helman was a nice surprise for the Rangers in 2025 with a .744 OPS in 99 at-bats, and he seems likely to be the fourth outfielder for Texas to open 2026.

Cole Young

SEA Infield #2

Cole Young hit a two-run homer in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Young clobbered a two-run homer off Jacob Latz in the first inning. The 22-year-old is battling for the starting second base job to open 2026, but he’ll have to hold off top prospect Colt Emerson to do so. Young is an intriguing dynasty prospect, but one who fantasy managers need to take a wait-and-see approach with before investing.

Chase DeLauter

CLE Center Fielder #14

Chase DeLauter homered and doubled in his two at-bats as a DH in Sunday’s 8-3 win over the Rockies.

DeLauter was returning to the lineup after five days off due to lower body soreness. His two balls in play today left the bat at 106 and 99 mph. DeLauter should have a great chance of making the Guardians with a productive spot. Only Steven Kwan is currently promised a place in Cleveland’s outfield.

Gavin Williams

CLE Pitcher #32

Gavin Williams pitched three innings of one-run ball and struck out three Sunday versus the Rockies.

Williams gave up a leadoff homer to Brett Sullivan in the first, but that was his only trouble. Williams averaged 94.9 mph with his fastball, which is a fair bit south of his 96.7-mph average from 2025. He was closer to that 2025 average in the first, but he faded quickly from there. It doesn’t seem like anything to worry about yet.

Chase Dollander

COL Starting Pitcher #32

Chase Dollander reached 100.6 mph on the gun while allowing one run in two innings Sunday against the Guardians.

Dollander’s velocity has been up by about one mph in his first two outings this spring, and he had a fine 35% CSW today. He’s not promised a rotation spot after the Rockies added three veteran starters over the winter, but the team surely wants him to claim one and he seems to be on his way to doing so.

Adael Amador

COL Infield #1

Adael Amador went 0-for-4 and grounded into two double plays against the Guardians on Sunday.

Amador was banished to Triple-A after criticizing the Rockies on social media last August, but he should have another chance now to compete for what should be a wide open second base job with Willi Castro (who can play anywhere), Edouard Julien, Ryan Ritter and maybe Tyler Freeman. Of course, today’s showing won’t help. He’s 4-for-17 with a homer and two steals so far.

Braden Montgomery

CWS Center Fielder #92

Bradn Montgomery tripled and homered in a win Sunday over the Cubs.

Montgomery has his first homer of the spring, and that’s already the second triple for one of the top hitting prospects in the Chicago system. There’s a chance that the 12th pick of the 2024 draft could join the White Sox in 2026, but a 2027 debut seems a little more realistic.

Alex Bregman

CHC Infield #3

Alex Bregman doubled and homered in a 5-1 loss for the Cubs to the White Sox on Sunday.

Bregman’s first spring homer in a Cubs’ uniform came off Kay in the first inning. The 31-year-old has been solid in the Cactus League, as those two extra-base hits along with a walk has him slashing .455/.571/.909. Bregman will hope that hot hitting continues into next week, as he’s set to join Team USA for the World Baseball Classic.
