Edward Cabrera

MIA Starting Pitcher #27

Edward Cabrera didn’t start Friday because of migraine-like symptoms.

Finally word on why Cabrera didn’t pitch. Austin Kitchen got the late nod in his place and gave up seven runs — six earned — in two innings against the Phillies. It appears that Cabrera might make his next start as soon as Sunday, as long as he feels fine tomorrow.

Brett Wisely

ATL Infield #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Braves acquired INF Brett Wisely from the Rays for cash considerations.

The Braves claimed Wisely off waivers from the Giants last September, DFA’d him and traded him to the Rays last month and now are getting him back with the 60-day IL giving them some extra 40-man roster maneuverability. The 26-year-old Wisely is a career .214/.265/.319 hitter in 466 major league plate appearances, most of which came with the Giants in 2023 and ’24. He’ll have a decent chance of claiming the last spot on the Braves’ bench.

Jose Quintana

FA Starting Pitcher #62
Jose Quintana is signing with the Rockies, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Quintana, who went 11-7 with a 3.96 ERA in 24 starts for the Brewers last season, will be the third veteran starter added by the Rockies, joining Michael Lorenzen and Tomoyuki Sugano. All seem likely to join Kyle Freeland in the rotation, leaving just one spot for Chase Dollander, Ryan Feltner or Tanner Gordon.

Reid Detmers

LAA Pitcher #48

Reid Detmers will make $2.625 million this year after losing his arbitration case with the Angels.

He filed at $2.925 million. Detmers would probably be making two or three times this by now if he’d been drafted by a competent organization six years ago. The left-hander will be returning to the rotation this year after posting a 3.96 ERA in 63 2/3 innings out of the bullpen last season. He’s not going to be eligible for free agency until after the 2028 season.

Dylan Lee

ATL Pitcher #52

Dylan Lee won his arbitration case and will make $2.2 million in 2026.

The Braves filed at $2 million, so this is a case that seemingly could have been avoided. The 31-year-old Lee had a 3.29 ERA in 68 1/3 innings out of Atlanta’s pen last season. He’ll be eligible for arbitration two more times before he’ll reach six years of service time.

Garrett Crochet

BOS Pitcher #35

Garrett Crochet said he’s ditched his seldom-used changeup in favor of a splitter.

Crochet says he’s found a grip that works for him, potentially giving him another weapon to go along with his fastballs, cutter and slider. Crochet tried taking something off his changeup last year, with the velocity difference between the pitch and his fastball increasing from six mph in 2024 to nine mph last year. However, he ended up throwing the pitch just four percent of the time, even though he was quite successful when he used it.

Kristian Campbell

BOS Infield #28

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Kristian Campbell will focus on the outfield in games this spring but that he’ll work on the infield on the side.

Campbell is expected to do drills at second and third with infield coach José Flores, but there’s no plan for game work at either position. It’d probably take an injury to an outfielder to give him any chance of making the Red Sox out of spring training, but it will be interesting to see what happens if returns to 2024 form in Triple-A.

Corbin Burnes

AZ Pitcher #39

Corbin Burnes said Tuesday that he’s still looking at the All-Star break for his return from Tommy John surgery.

Burnes was saying the same at the end of last season, so he’s apparently made steady progress since. Burnes underwent Tommy John surgery in June, so a July return is fairly aggressive, though hardly unprecedented. The 31-year-old is entering the second season of a six-year, $210 million contract.

Jeff Hoffman

TOR Pitcher #23

Jeff Hoffman will be the Jays’ primary closer, manager John Schneider confirmed Tuesday.

The Jays looked at other closing candidates since as Edwin Díaz and Robert Suarez over the winter after Hoffman’s struggles last year, but after they ultimately signed Tyler Rogers, there was really no doubt that Hoffman would retain the job. Hoffman finished his first season in Toronto with a 4.37 ERA and was 33-for-40 closing out games.

Yimi García

TOR Pitcher #93

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said he’s hopeful Yimi García will be ready for Opening Day following elbow surgery but will be careful with him this spring.

García’s surgery took place in August and was only to clean up scar tissue in his elbow, so it didn’t seem like Opening Day would be in doubt here. Still, bringing him along slowly isn’t a bad idea, as he’s totaled just 60 innings between the last two seasons.

Aaron Civale

ATH Starting Pitcher #38

Athletics signed RHP Aaron Civale to a one-year, $6 million contract.

It’s a little surprising to see Civale get $6 million after posting a 4.85 ERA in 102 innings last season, but the A’s need to pay a little extra to get pitchers to come to Sacramento. Civale’s strikeout rate has dropped three years running, from a peak of 24.1% in 2022 to 20.2% last year, and he’s still a big-time flyball pitcher. He projects pretty poorly with the A’s, but it also not like they have a bunch of quality alternatives.
