There is a world where Anderson becomes a key late-inning reliever for the White Sox after he posted a 4.39 ERA with 57 strikeouts in 53 1/3 innings in 2024. He should remain off fantasy radars regardless of his role in Chicago but you know better than to chase White Sox saves in 2025.

After Gore retired 15 of 17 batters to begin the game, the sixth opened single, walk, single to bring up Bryce Harper with the bases loaded and none out. Gore actually struck out Harper, but he then hit Alec Bohn was a pitch and was lifted. Cole Winn replaced him and allowed only one of the three runners to score on a sac fly before retiring Bryson Stott to end the threat. Gore wound up with the win in his Rangers debut. He got off to a very shaky start this spring, but he turned things around in the second half of March and he was obviously effective today in striking out seven. He’ll next pitch at home against the Reds.

Luzardo struck out seven, but he surrendered homers to Brandon Nimmo and Andrew McCutchen that plated a total of five runs. Luzardo was exceptional at keeping the ball in the yard in the first half of last year, allowing a total of seven homers in 104 1/3 innings prior to the break. In the second half, he didn’t have quite as much luck there, giving up nine in 79 1/3 innings. He’ll make his next start against the Rockies in Coors, though that’s not always such a bad thing this early in the year.
