Zach Neto

LAA Shortstop #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Zach Neto (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup for the Angels on Saturday against the Rangers.

Neto is dealing with a shoulder injury, and the hope from Ron Washington was that he could return for the final two games. The best will now be the final one. Nolan Schanuel is also out for the Angels while dealing with a knee bruise. Jack Lopez is playing shortstop and Niko Kavadas is playing first base.

WSH Relief Pitcher #57

Nationals claimed LHP Richard Lovelady off of waivers from the Mets.

Lovelady was inked to a one-year contract as a free agent in October, but the Mets attempted to sneak him through waivers this week as they needed to clear room on their 40-man roster. The 30-year-old left-hander posted an 8.49 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and a 12/6 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings in 10 appearances between the Blue Jays and Mets in 2025.

Marco Gonzales

SD Starting Pitcher #27

Padres signed LHP Marco Gonzales to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The 33-year-old southpaw will earn $1.5 million if he makes the Padres’ roster and can earn up to an additional $1 million in incentives. Gonzales didn’t pitch at all during the 2025 season while recovering from flexor tendon surgery. He’s now fully recovered and should be a full go for the start of spring training. If healthy, he makes for a nice depth signing for the Padres.

Derek Law

ARI Relief Pitcher #58

Diamondbacks signed RHP Derek Law to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Law, 35, missed the entire 2025 season after undergoing surgery to repair a tear in his flexor tendon. He’s expected to be ready to return in April or May. He’ll earn $1.5 million if he makes the Diamondbacks’ active roster and can earn up to an additional $500,000 in incentives. Given his success in the two years before the injury, it makes for a nice low-risk signing for the Diamondbacks.

Osvaldo Bido

LAA Starting Pitcher #45

Angels designated RHP Osvaldo Bido for assignment.

The Angels just claimed Bido off of waivers from the Marlins on Tuesday, but they needed to clear a roster spot after acquiring Jayvien Sandridge from the Yankees on Thursday so Bido got the boot once again. The 30-year-old right-hander has been claimed off of waivers four times already since the 2025 season ended — by the Braves, Rays, Marlins and Angels — so it seems likely that he’ll generate interest once again this time around.

Jayvien Sandridge

LAA Relief Pitcher #88

Angels acquired LHP Jayvien Sandridge from the Yankees for cash considerations.

The Yankees had designated the 26-year-old southpaw for assignment earlier in the week, so they were willing to flip him for anything that they could get. Sandridge made his big league debut with the Yankees in 2025, giving up two runs on one hit and a pair of walks over 2/3 of an inning in his lone appearance. His strikeout upside makes him a candidate to crack the Halos’ Opening Day bullpen with a strong showing in Cactus League action.

Bryan Ramos

CWS 3rd Baseman #44

White Sox designated INF Bryan Ramos for assignment.

The White Sox needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Seranthony Domínguez on Thursday and unfortunately it looks like Ramos was the odd-man out this time around. The 23-year-old infielder has slashed a cringe-inducing .198/.244/.333 with three homers, 13 RBI and a 26/7 K/BB ratio over 120 plate appearances with the White Sox over the past two seasons. He could potentially attract some interest on waivers.

Seranthony Dominguez

CWS Relief Pitcher #48

White Sox signed RHP Seranthony Domínguez to a two-year, $20 million contract.

The deal, which was agreed to on Friday, is now official. The 31-year-old hurler is expected to open the season as the White Sox’ closer, which makes him relevant for fantasy purposes. Domínguez registered a 3.16 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 79/36 K/BB ratio over 62 2/3 innings between the Orioles and Blue Jays in 2025. He has 40 career saves to his name, with a high of 16 coming during his rookie campaign with the Phillies back in 2018.

Karson Simas

CHC 2nd Baseman

Cubs signed INF Karson Simas to a minor league contract.

The 24-year-old infielder spent the first seven years of his minor league career in the Red Sox’ organization. In 2025, he slashed .244/.313/.331 with four homers, 30 RBI, 17 stolen bases and an 85/26 K/BB ratio over 317 plate appearances across three minor league levels. He’ll add infield depth in the upper minors for the Cubs.

Christian Vazquez

FA Catcher #8
According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, the Astros have shown interest in a reunion with Christian Vazquez.

With Victor Caratini leaving via free agency, the Astros are in the market for a backup to work behind Yainer Diaz. Vazquez, previously functioned in that role for the Astros in the second half of the 2022 season. He had a rough year at the dish with the Twins in 2025, slashing a woeful .189/.271/.274 with three homers and 14 RBI in 214 plate appearances.

Gabe Klobosits

CHC Relief Pitcher #68

Cubs signed RHP Gabe Klobosits to a minor league contract.

The 30-year-old hurler hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since making 11 appearances out of the Nationals’ bullpen during the 2021 season. He pitched in the independent Atlantic League and American Association in 2025, compiling a 2.08 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and a 42/15 K/BB ratio over 34 2/3 innings of work.
