Hao-Yu Lee

DET 2nd Baseman

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tigers INF prospect Hao-Yu Lee went 4-for-6 with a home run, three RBI, three runs scored, and a steal for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Lee was a breakout star in spring training and has gotten off to a slow-ish start in Triple-A. However, he’s been hitting in the middle of the lineup every day and slashing .255/.349/.400 with one home run, nine RBI, and two steals. He has also been playing some third base recently, and his numbers are better than Jace Jung’s at Triple-A, so it’s not out of the question that Lee could get a shot to fill any infield vacancy in Detroit this summer.

MIN Catcher #65

Twins designated C Jhonny Pereda for assignment.

Pereda is off the 40-man roster with the signings of Victor Caratini and Tyler Rogers now official. Pereda is just a depth piece, but teams are always looking for catching so there could be interest on the wire.

Pierson Ohl

MIN Starting Pitcher #62

Twins designated RHP Pierson Ohl for assignment.

Ohl gets the boot with the Twins making the signings of Tyler Rogers and Victor Caratini official. Ohl, 26, will now hit the waiver wire, and a team looking for depth in their pitching ranks could give him a shot.

Taylor Rogers

MIN Relief Pitcher #17

Twisn signed LHP Taylor Rogers to a one-year, $2 million contract.

Rogers is back in Minnesota, the spot where it all started for the 35-year-old. He forged a 3.38 ERA with a 53/23 K/BB ratio over his 50 2/3 innings with the Cubs and Reds in 2025, and he should be a high-leverage option for the Twins — maybe one who sees some save chances — in 2026.

Victor Caratini

MIN Catcher #17

Twins signed C Victor Caratini to a two-year contract.

Caratini will likely see time behind the plate, at first base and as the designated hitter. There is some offensive upside in his bat and performed well in 2025 with the Astros, but this is more of a high-floor than a high-ceiling fantasy player.

Yunior Marte

CIN Relief Pitcher #43

Reds signed RHP Yunior Marte to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.

Marte spent the 2025 season with the Chunichi Dragons in Japan. The right-hander last pitched in the majors in 2024 while with the Phillies, and he’s forged a 5.64 ERA over 113 1/3 innings across 102 MLB appearances. The 30-year-old will compete for a bullpen spot in the Cactus League.

Bryce Montes de Oca

WSH Relief Pitcher #63

Nationals signed RHP Bryce Montes de Oca to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Montes de Oca is recovering from Tommy John surgery he underwent in September of 2024, and there’s a decent chance he won’t be ready for the start of the season. The 6-foot-7 right-hander has a chance to contribute to the Nationals’ bullpen when healthy, but will need to be added to the 40-man roster to join that group.

Austin Roberts

TEX Relief Pitcher

Rangers signed RHP Austin Robert to a minor league contract.

Roberts forged a 4.21 ERA in the minors with the Brewers and Marlins; with the latter acquring the right-hander in an August trade. He’ll provide org depth, and need to be added to the 40-man roster to pitch for Texas.

Jhonathan Diaz

SEA Relief Pitcher #74

Mariners designated LHP Jhonathan Díaz for assignment.

Díaz has made a couple of appearances for Seattle over the past couple seasons without much success. The left-hander is now off the 40-man roster and on the waiver wire to make room for the recently-acquired Cooper Criswell.

Cooper Criswell

SEA Relief Pitcher #64

Mariners acquired RHP Cooper Criswell from the Mets in exchange for cash considerations.

Criswell was designated for assignment by the Mets on Wednesday. The 29-year-old is capable of working multiple innings, and he’ll compete for one of the final bullpen spots for Seattle this spring.

Kaleb Ort

NYY Relief Pitcher #63

Yankees designated RHP Kaleb Ort for assignment

Ort was claimed off waivers from the Astros in early January but will now be let go to make room for Michael Siani. Ort posted a 4.89 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 49/27 K/BB ratio across 46 innings out of the Astros’ bullpen in 2025 and should get a look with another organization.
